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

      I grew up with it, my mother's side were Germans.  I still like cabbage.  I make a sweet/sour dish with vinegar and brown sugar, add some bacon if you have it.  And in warmer weather, slaw.  I like that better if it's a few days old, and has worked off a little.

      Pity that we can't just respect each other and get along.

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      In the warmer weather, Mine is hitting the road on the bike. Just me, the bike, and the road. Other is it music or working on one of my many projects.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
