First time breast forms

[LaurenA]

Any tips for a girl for the first time she uses breast forms?

I've never used them but The Breast Form Store is a supporter of our site.

I ordered from them.

A well fitting bra helps.  Loose bra will allow them to move around more.

This absolutely, different shapes have their own placement in bras so you may need to experiment a bit or when all else fails read the info sheet that should come with them.  There are re-usable silicone adhesive patches that can help keep them in place inside the bra which do work if you are not sensitive to the silicone.  I have had very bad luck with actual medical adhesive that some people use and "attachable" falsies just never look right for most girls.

Well I bought the cheapest ones in their xmax sale so I don't expect perfection.  My plan is if I am comfortable with them  I'll go to  the better ones available.  I just don't want to make a "noobie" mistake the first time I use them.  My expectation is they will be used for about a month.

How has your SO reacted the first time they saw you wearing them?

Hi @LaurenA

I have 2 sets of breast forms.  Bought them on Amazon and I was happy with both.  First set was D-cup (1000g) and so very lifelike softness and feel, but just a bit large (not that there is anything wrong with big boobs ?).  So I bought a second set C-cup (800g) and they look much nicer for my figure and clothes.  They are a bit firmer than the first set so don't feel quite as natural.

I highly recommend a good quality pocket bra.  The pockets keep the breast form neatly in place and you don't have to worry about them slipping out or moving around.  It was a lot of trial and error to find pocket bras I liked at fit me well, but they are out there.  (let me know if you need a recommendation).

My SO has never seen me wearing them (but I am pretty sure she has snuck a peek at them).  They do help me feel extremely feminine but in reality I just hope someday I can "grow" some of my own (I am not on HRT yet).

I am sure you will be very happy when you have your own pair, so ENJOY❣️

Like Kay, I have two pair from Amazon.  One larger and one smaller.  I prefer the smaller size because when I do start growing my own I will likely not be to large.  Plus the overall shape works better with a wide chest. 

 

My wife has seen me in them many times.  She also likes the smaller ones.  It helps that she knows I am working on transitioning and is very ok with it now.  The first time she saw me with them was with the larger pair.  She kida giggled some and said they don't fit right. But she was ok with me having them, that was the important part.

I've got a couple of sets. I had four, but I gave the big (and expensive) attachable set away. It was just too painful on my sensitive actual breasts. I'm not sure I've got much more to add. I have a set with a pocket bra. They're nice, but they don't have the "realistic" look of the triangular shaped forms. My expensive set looked fantastic. It was shaped just right to catch you under the arms and give a super-realistic appearance. They were very expensive though. Also, not compatible with my actual breasts.

Think of it like when a cis-woman stuffs her bra. Don't go overboard with a breast form. If you want to go overboard, you'll get a more realistic look if you go with a breastplate. I don't own one, but I've discussed them with a friend who uses them. Much better if you want to display some cleavage but you'll want a choker to cover up the "line" where it meets your neck.

 

Hugs!

Thank you all for the advice.  Some very good tips.  I sort of figured that the bargain basement set I ordered wasn't going to work that well.  I doubt I would ever wear them in public.  I expect that I'll replace them within a month.  They are attachable but since I'm pretty flat chested that should work.  I think I will have a problem finding a good bra.  With a 40" chest the choices are limited.

I am currently a 42 A. When I started, I was a 48 (Yeah, I know) AA. There are some lovely choices at EnFemme designed for transwomen Carmen Liu Lingerie. I got one on Christmas Eve and it fits! My only real complaint is the underwire, but it was comfortable enough to wear for a good eight hours while we were at my sister-in-law's house for the holiday.

Sometimes I can find stuff on Amazon. Hardly ever off the rack though. I can find my band, but they always assume that I'm at least a C.

 

Hugs!

I'm a 42 also.  It is hard to find small cups.

[LaurenA]

@Jackie C.Thanks for the link.  Looks like a good selection.  There goes my budget again

 

[Jackie C.]

The Carmen Liu selection isn't fantastic... but they fit me right which is a HUGE bonus.

 

Hugs!

For bras, I am a Just My Size and Playtex online have had my 42B stuff as a regular thing.  They actually have sizes you do not find in too many brick and mortar stores.  I have had good luck.  Not super fancy but they work very well. https://www.justmysize.com/bras.html?d1=EMAIL&y1=&utm_source=JMS&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=245691&utm_term=ADHOC&utm_content=20201227&cm_lm=ST4LIIF-6AMTFB-5KP3M6-P132A4-O156J2-v1&zcid=21353182
