First time breastforms


Michelle20

Recommended Posts

I am looking to get breast forms. My 

Problem is fit. I am larger person. 6ft 220lbs 46 chest. The breastplates available that say they are for my size are G cup. I was wanting a D cup max. I don't want to look like Dolly Parton. Wouldn'a G cup be huge? How much will breastforms stretch? The ones im looking at are no oil silicone with silicone fill. Any ideas?

HI @Michelle20, welcome to the forums first of all.

 

To the best of my knowledge, breast forms are of a fixed size, they don't "stretch".

 

Like yourself, I'm 6ft, 224lbs with a 42" chest, but a 38D bra fits me perfectly and cups the breast forms ideally.

 

G size forms are indeed massive.

 

You could take a look at our one and only sponsor's The Breast Form Store's Bra measurments for Crossdressers for added info.

The type im looking at are breastplates. You wear them like a shirt. They do stretch...just not sure how much.

@Petra Jane has good advice there.  The "Breast Plate" type of forms do not look realistic under the most open minded circumstances.  Forms for each individual breast give a much better and believable appearance. Breast forms are sold in pairs.  You will have to buy a bra to hold them in place, but the bra which can be a bit small will do a great job.  The shirt types are very uncomfortable and will make a fun time a misery.  If you know the "plate" will stretch, why did you ask??

I want the breastplate because it would cover some chest hair allowing me to wear a little more revealing blouse and show some cleavage.

Admittedly my only real experience is with individual breast forms with or without a pocket bra, with some preparation, I think the right breastplate design can look fine, especially if you're looking to show some cleavage. Here's a friend of mine. Admittedly, they've been making some, ahem, big decisions lately but if they're happy, I'm happy.

They identify as bigender and were a little down the last time I talked to them. I'll pass it along.

Oh, and I should mention that they're about my height (5'11") and weigh a little more than I do (I'm 196) so 6' and 220 looking like that isn't unreasonable.

 

Hugs!

It good to know I've been measuring correctly. ? The recommended band size is damn close to the direct measurement I took; there's about 1" variance between my measurement and the chart recommendation.

 

The document says "naturally developed breasts", for clarification does that mean breasts grown by cis women, breasts grown by trans women on HRT, or both? I assume they don't mean augmented breasts.

No idea, sorry. I assume they refer to natural breasts, even those that men have.

I broke down last night and bought a pair of breastforms. They kept trying to talk me into the G cup for my size and build buti didnt go that big. I wanted D or less but compromised with an F cup. I hope they arent way too big

Depending on how broad your chest is, a F might not be as big as you think. I have to ask though, who were you buying from that kept insisting that you needed a G? Do they have a deal with your chiropractor? Breast forms, especially solid silicone, can get heavy.

 

Hugs!

It was IMI. They said it was due to chest/bra band size not cup size. For all i know he may have just liked big boobs. Lol. As far as weight...i just crossdress...i don't have to wear them day in and day out. Otherwise i may have opted for cotton filled.

I recieved my breastform and i was able to try them on tonight. THEY ARE AWESOME! They change my shape so much as compared to a bra with foam inserts. And they actually jiggle and bounce when i walk. They are pretty realistic looking too. Only complaint so far is that even though they feel exciting...most of the weight is distributed on my shoulders and they don't pull at my chest. I would love to know what real ones feel like. Anyway Im going to buy a new bra and if i can get up the nerve i will go out dressed up Saturday afternoon. I will give them a full review and maybe a few pictures then.

You can get a pair that's designed to be glued to your chest. They feel about right. The downside is that they're GLUED TO YOUR CHEST. Fun, but the medical adhesive won't come off for weeks. The forms themselves certainly do, but the glue residue will linger a LONG time.

I'm thinking rubbing alcohol or perhaps a gentle body oil might work as solvents? Now that glue-on forms have been mentioned I find my interest has piqued. ?

Hi @Michelle20

Based on my experience and extrapolating your size and mine, I am thinking size D / 1000g silicone breast forms with a pocket bra might work for you.  But please, do some research and size comparisons (specially if the store/site has product reviews and you can find somebody close to your size).

 

WRT chest hair.  Have you considered shaving and/or laser removal?  That was one of the first things I did and it relieved a lot of dysphoria about my body hair (legs were next, then arms).

Hope you can find something.  It is truly a wonderful feeling to see your body the way you want it to be.

From experience: Nope. Medical grade adhesive is stubborn stuff. I'd be peeling little bits off for about a week. Worth it. They were great forms, but the glue had to be for special occasions because of the clean-up. Your skin might shed glue better than mine though, so hey, go for it.

 

Hugs!

I am not out so hair removal isn't really an option. That would be a dead giveaway. As far as size...i wanted D cup but had to go with an E cup instead. They aren't as big as I thought they would be. They actually look pretty natural on me(my opinion only).

I wasn't really fully Out to my wife yet when I first started laser removal on my chest/stomach.  My excuse was that I had found some gray hairs, and I absolutely was not going to tolerate gray body hair (which I do detest) and which was true .. but it wasn't the real reason I did it.  I understand though its a difficult step to take if its going to create questions ..

 

Happy you found a size (E) that fits you and feels natural, Michelle.  My "C's" look natural.  My "D's" are Va-va-va-Voom! ?  Enjoy the new "girls" ❣️

Actually i misquoted. They are F cup. And yes they are va-va-Voom also to some degree. But with my size and build...with clothes on they dont look that much out of place. Might be different when the weather warms up and i put on something low cut and revealing. And yes i look forward to showing them off to anyone who wants to look this weekend.

      Welcome to the forums, M.A. Duh . . . more questions came up for me,too--but I'm finding they don't have to be solved all at once. One thing at a time as I ask for help works for me. Keep coming back.  —Davie

      Good news is that I have nothing serious going on. The blood was coming from internal hemorrhoids, and the doctor says it's from the "typical American diet." Too much fat and carbs but not enough plant based fiber. A few other things were noted and biopsies on them for safety sake.    Hospital visit was grand with "most" of the staff addressing me as female. I did have "bra talk" with one of the CNA's. Even my discharged papers use my preferred name on them (Birdie).   So basically, adding more fiber to my diet will eliminate my internal hemorrhoids as well as lower my risk for cancer.

      For that part, be glad you live in MS and not in CA or some other "paradise."    Unfortunately, right now in the USA it is about choices.  Choose to live in a mostly free state that doesn't want my gender to exist, or choose to live in a leftist place that accepts my gender but not my family or my faith, or how I want to live my life or the stuff I own.   As for the lawsuits... hiring a lawyer costs money.  And a "no fees unless you win" attorney probably won't take a case like this, as it is difficult to get money from folks who often don't have anything.  As they say, "it is hard to get blood from a turnip."

      There's a couple of things.  First, since so many LGBTQ+ folks often vote Democrat, it is simply assumed that "LGBTQ = Democrat."  And to many, Democrat = enemy.  The fact that some of us don't vote for Democrats comes as a surprise to many.  You wouldn't believe how many different times I have had to explain how I vote, that I don't like Biden, etc...   And then, there's the flamboyant, over-the-top appearance and behavior of some.  When average folks see strange dress, wild colors, and the occasional provocative behavior in the news, they assume that it is the norm and that all LGBTQ+ folks are like that.  To them, "LGBTQ = weird."    I think that @Abigail Genevieve is right, part of it is lousy marketing.  And that will take a ton of undoing, because it has been going on for years.

      Personally, I despise the antics of the "swing" states. Double-minded and unstable, shifting every time the wind blows.  OK, so the Lt Governor of Georgia doesn't like Trump.  Small potatoes.... given the 2020 results, nobody counts on Georgia anyways.

      Its midnight here...so, technically morning   I had a really weird evening, and learned something new about politics.  My sister, who is running for public office as our township constable, received a "present" today, left on the hood of her patrol car.  An axe!  Wrapped in a bundle of sticks (dowels?).  The sheriff received one also, and a couple other candidates.  Now, my first thought was it was meant as a threat, and I was freaked out when she told me.  But she wisely identified it as political criticism:   During the 2020 election, a small dissident minority objected to our sheriff, and labeled him "Mussolini."  Apparently the symbol of the F@scist Party came from ancient Rome.  An axe, circled with rods, and the whole bundle was called "fasces" and represented the authority of the state.  Roman officials would have them symbolically carried ahead of them through the city on parade.  Other nations used it too, including the USA.  But since the 1920s, it is mostly associated with a certain political party.  Either I was never taught this in high school, or I didn't notice it.    So, it appears that this election season will have some interesting aspects.  And I have been asked to put gold spray paint on an axe, to make it like a trophy.

      Welcome @Vivelacors!  For myself and many others here it is a similar theme.  But, I can assure it's never too late.  I hope that you will discover that as you explore and connect with more of us on the Forum.    You've already taken the most important first step ... Self-Affirmation.  I am wishing you the best in continuing this process. Deep breaths ... One step at a time

      I can remember as a teenager being a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints and living in the bible belt. It was always a little hard-I think religion is just tricky anyway.    I was referred to a couple of ladies at church by my mum who gave me very good advice.  One has known those who are are trans- and how they approched it.    The other has two people in their life who identify differently. They also gave other ideas to assist me.     I do like ideas though.

      If I am leaving the house I will almost always do makeup.  Not over-the-top but enough to feminize my face (eye shadow, mascara), lipstick, and a light cover of a concealer and foundation. I found my favorite lipsticks are Maybelline.  But the concealer/foundation I 'discovered' in Neutrogena Hydro Boost - Hyaluronic Acid based.  For 'older' gals like me I find it moisturizes and doesn't dry into those annoying fine lines (I have enough of those already).    Hopefully, after facial hair removal I might not feel the need as much.

      I think it just comes down to a lot of people not knowing anything about the lgbtq+ community besides what reactionaries online and on TV say. In my experience, people who have a lot more day-to-day contact with gay and trans people, have lgbtq+ friends or family, coworkers, etc. are a lot more accepting because they know an lgbtq+ person, and know that we aren't anything like what the people on TV say we are.
