First Breastforms

Recommended Posts

I finally invested in first breastforms (previously I had borrowed them off other people) and I really like them. I was wondering, do any people have any tips for use or maintenance?

If you got silicone breastforms they hopefully came with a box with a plastic liner.  When you are not wearing them use that as a storage unit.  Mastectomy bras have pockets which keep them in place. Enjoy

I remember my first, They was my babies. (That sounds weird) Yoou got to look after the silicone ones. They can be quite fragile. So easy if you got nails to split them . I had to replace mine once in there lifetime because i caughtthe same one twice. They cannot take to much abuse.

 

I still have them but havent used them for about 3 years. They served there purpose at the time.

 

Marks and spencer for your masectomy bra with the the pockets. Or Asda  do a comfort bra. It looks like a sports bra. But has 2 inserts. You do need to sew up the cenre just to stop them shifting but it woks great and are Asda priced.  Product Code: 6392217

I find the triangular ones easiest to use as opposed to the teardrop shape. The triangular ones don't fit my pocket bra though. I don't know what you can get your hands on though, so experiment and see what looks best on you.

 

I had a very nice set of attachable forms that I donated to a friend. They were not compatible with growing breast tissue (Ow!). They were fun while they lasted though.

 

I rarely stuff just a year and a half later though. Just for special occasions so my advice would be that if you're planning on hormones, don't get a really expensive set. The cheaper alternatives are good enough and you won't be wasting, oh, $500 US on something you can only wear for six months.

 

If you're not planning on hormones though, go quality. The more expensive forms are tougher and will last longer. You could sleep in the aforementioned $500 pair for example. You can't do that with the "chicken cutlet" style inserts.

 

On the topic, I've got a friend that uses a breastplate design for her breast forms. That could be a good option if you want to wear something a little more revealing. I'd just thought she was brilliant with blending the edges when she let me in on her little secret. She's MUCH better with makeup than I am. She has better skin for it though. What can you do?

 

Hugs!

I like the triangular ones also.  They are cheap and look natural enough.

 

One question about the breast plate.  They look good, but how hot do you get while wearing one? I'd be dripping sweat in minutes.

My boobs are real, I have photos in the gallery. They came over a long period of time on hormones, 22 years. At this point in my non binary life I don't want them and keep them as suppressed as is comfortably possible in a tight leisure bra so there is no jiggle or pointiness. I just bought some Dimrs, silicone nipple covers as the nipple oglers out there piss me off no end. I would gladly give them to someone who could use them it it were at all possible..

I'd think so too. I texted him to ask, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I tried a latex under-thing once and while it wasn't as hot as you'd think, it wasn't comfortable. Then again, my skin is special-snowflake sensitive. It looks nice though.

She's been making some, ahem, big decisions lately.

 

NB Adult, I'm pigeon-breasted on top of all my other problems so I'd be absolutely tickled if they'd grow out to a nice B-Cup so that wasn't so obvious. I've still got about a year and a half before they're done and I hear a lot of girls get a growth spurt after their GRS, so hopefully I'll hit my goal. It's like I was telling my gym friends: "I don't have the advantage of genetics so I need to girl harder than you do."

 

Hugs!

Hugs! MtF breast development doesn't come the same as it does on teenage girls who develop fully in just a matter of a few years. I had minnies for a very long time on E before anything significant really happened.

<sigh> Yeah I know. Expected course of development is three years or so. I was a late bloomer the first time around. I have no reason to expect this time to be any different. Still, we all know the girl who went away for summer vacation and came back with D-Cups. I think on some deep level we all wish we were her. Part of the whole, "I had estrogen five minutes ago. I should have been a women for five minutes," mindset. It's a process. ?

I used to buy the realistic silicon beast forms.  Some were very pricy others were much more affordable.  I would wear them to bed every nite. I constantly switched  to different pairs periodically and cared for them by keeping them in their protective boxes,  even then, I never had a set last longer than two years.  The seams would separate eventually and silicon would leak a little through my bra....a gooey mess to clean up too.  It was a necessary 'pain in my patootie' but apparently worth all the trouble because I continued to buy them...lol. One thing though that might change things for others who sleep with their forms...I sleep on my stomach so that made them more susceptible to wear and tear during the evening.

 

Congrats Krisvm on getting your first pair.  Enjoy them!

Hope it is okay to post. Here are my first pair in their bra. A little bigger than I was expecting but still look good and feels so great to have them on.

Hi Krisvm,

I have a couple of different forms. My favorite that I wear the most are not filled with any liquids. I am able to sleep with them on and not worry they will burst.  They look very natural and stick without using any tape or glue (although if going braless you would need to use an adhesive)..

I wear an underwire full coverage bra - a pocket bra won’t work for this form. 
 

I wash mine after each use, let them dry and place them on the cradle they came with.

 

BTW- you look great!

@Krisvm You look great! I'll bet you feel pretty good too. There's just something about being right... also I'm jealous as heck of your waistline. Work it girl!

 

Hugs!

I made my own breast forms. About a year and half ago, I bought a cute one piece negligee with breast cups for breast obviously. I did not like having to unbutton the middle to use the restroom, or how the cups rubbed my sternum because they're was nothing in them. So.... I found a drugstore near me sold a nylon 1 piece bra that slips over the head and fits like a normal bra. I then found an interesting solution at Target of all places. In their toy department was a section that sold Nerf style foam kids activity balls. I found a couple of balls that were called Dodge balls which are about 10 inch diameter. I bought 2 and cut 1 in half and cut the other one in 2/3rds. Voila, breasts. they fit fairly comfortably, they do make me look somewhat like a Barbie doll though. I don't care, as long as I had breast that for all intensive purposes look real.

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3

      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!

      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!

      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.

      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
