Changing breast-form sizes

[Guest *Charlotte P*]

So after 5 years of having my first set of breastforms, they are finally worn out and must be replaced. I have fretted long about this as I have such a large stock of bras that I have lovingly collected. On the other hand, I unwittingly chose small forms for my body size when ordering the first pair. They have served me well but as a rather big girl, they just weren't proportionate for me.

After a discussion with the wife this morning, I went ahead and ordered a replacement pair, but in a much larger size. I have on the way now a set of sized 15 forms that should put me at a comfortable 48DDD/E. I am super excited as this pair is higher quality than the last from a bigger named manufacturer with great reviews that is huge in the industry(plus they were on clearance for a great price). It will finally give me the chest projection I have been craving, my current set is just so small compared to the width of my torso.

The even more exciting part is now I have to start almost over again buying bras. I just purchased one, so that it should arrive here the same time as the new forms so that I can try them out and be able to wear them as soon as they get here. The wifey knows this is an expensive proposition as my collection is extensive and I will build up a new one to match. But said to go for it anyway, she knows I can't be without breastforms for ANY length of time.

It is also a very exciting time as with circumstances changing at home, I will soon be able to dress fully in the house 7 days a week if I desire (kids are moving out soon!!!!)

So now the transition to larger boobs begins with both excitement and little trepidation, I really like most of my shirts and hope this doesn't rule many of them out.

Have you gone through this kind of change before? how was it? was it all fun and shopping or was there sad loss at favorite bras and shirts??

Hugs,

Charlotte

I grew a small B cups in 15 months of HRT, so I decided on a breast augmentation to a full C Cup. I was fine in a C Cup and when I got back, my doctor really upped my estrogen. Boy did they start growing then. I'm a double D now and I really don't mind the larger size except now I have to buy better bras for support and they are expensive. We're talking $60.00 and up.

48 DDD!!! wish I could pull that off.

I just use my natural 36B with a padded cup. For some reason I have a bit of gynocomastia.

Curious did you wear them every day for five years? How do they fall apart? Like the silicone rots?

[Guest Eve Caillard]

I started out with 42DD silicones and it has always suited me. I do have a bigger set with fitting bras, but I like my 42DD. It just seems to sit well on me. But it is what makes you feel like the lady you should be, Charlotte. So if it is time to change - then enjoy! For me, I'll stick with 42DD. They're comfy, make me feel 'right' and fit my ridiculously large wardrobe.

Meanwhile, Like Lexi I've developed some gynecomastia to a natural 42AA and now I have a bra to fit those, which is kind of weird but nice and very feminine. Unlike many men who would recoil in horror at growing breasts, I am immensely happy with mine! I just wish I could continue to 42DD with them (I am kind of trying...). Some of the clothes I got off E-Bay are too small for 42DD but oddly they are great with my 42AA shape. I sometimes feel I have the best of both worlds!

Enjoy!

Is AA the UK version of B?

I wish I could wear them everyday, but no, it was more like 1-3 days a week of varying times. The seams at the bottom separated first, and then cracks down the outer casing on the back where it makes contact with the chest wall. The inner soft silicone can now escape. The outer casing on the front where is perfectly fine still,

Might be, Lexi. I'm not sure.

Of course the equality question is how many times has your wife had to up her bra size? They cost too and if she wants you looking your girly best, she needs to let you spend money on yours too. Did you consult with your wife? She might want you even larger? Also, in very large bra sizes (like my late wife) it becomes a matter of Support Engineering rather than fashion so fewer bras are needed. Very few of us could fill a push up bra that size! There are full chest forms available but, that takes a lot of makeup work to pass with them. You can find such sizes in second hand shops, take her shopping.

As submissive as I am to females I dont understand how people let their spouces control their money...

I did consult with the wife, talked about all aspects of the change, For fairness she changed her bra size a few years ago at great expense. She did not make the decision for me, but was consulted as a partner should be on these types of decisions.

She is totally onboard with the change and is happy for me that I have made it.

So I purchased a new bra with the new forms in the size I measured myself to be which was "48DDD" and it turns out the bra was ill fitting and loose around the band. So I purchased another one in a smaller band size and it arrived today.

Trying it on was such and awesome experience!! it fit just perfectly, the underwire and the gore sat flat on my chest as they should, the cups were perfectly filled and this bra has plenty of structural support as Clair stated above. The straps are comfortable and the band is just tight enough. This thing holds the girls right where they should be!! On top of the support it's pretty, not the sexiest thing around but quite nice none the less.

So I guess officially I'm now a 46G instead of 48DDD and that's ok, it means I'm loosing weight!!!

I showed the wife the new forms with a shirt on and with just the bra, she smiled and complimented me!! such a happy day!

Hugz,

Awesome for you!!

It is also a very exciting time as with circumstances changing at home, I will soon be able to dress fully in the house 7 days a week if I desire (kids are moving out soon!!!!)

And I hear you, my kids moved out this week, but I'm still stuck on an international business trip.
