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.

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.

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

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

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
