Breast prosthesis or other nonpermanent ways of wearing brests


This Ichi

Recommended Posts

Hi,

since a couple days I wonder how I would feel with breasts.

I am something like genderfluid and therefore looking for a nonpermanent option.

From what I have red there are numerous ways but I do not really know where to start.

What do/did you use?

I would prefere something that does not include any type of glue, however if that is the way to go I am not averse.

Thank you for any advice!

Ichi

Yes, I used breast forms for many years before coming out. I don't quite remember, but I think I purchased mine from the store that Vicky mentioned. Regardless, you shouldn't have any trouble finding some excellent ones online. Another advantage is that you can try different sizes.

 

My main advice concerns bras, which are almost as important as the breast forms themselves. What you want is called a "pocket bra," which has a little pocket for inserting the breast form. Make sure you have a snug-fitting one, so the breast form stays tight against your chest. I found these types of bras at my local store, but I'm pretty sure they're available at online stores selling the breast forms, too. Make sure you have the right size!

 

Personally, I don't like any glue or tape and consider them all a waste of time. Maybe they work better with smaller breast forms, but I wouldn't bother. If you have the right bra, you'll get a natural look without any trouble at all.

 

I'll attach some old pictures from when I used breast forms, for your reference. Good luck!

Wow thanks a lot for the helpful advice. That store does even ship to Germany!

Also thank you so much for your insight Kasumi. You gave me the push I needed.

Seems that the breast forms are the way to go for me. I will keep you updated.

Also if anyone has additional thoughts to share, please let me know.

I’ve been wearing breast forms from the merchant mentioned in this thread for close to three years. I went with an asymmetrical self-adhesive form made in Germany. After talking with a representative I was advised the forms were made by the same German manufacturer who makes prosthetics for cis women. YMMV but I love the fact the prosthetics attach to my breasts and move as one with me. After a couple of weeks I forgot there was a self-adhesive holding my breasts in place. Keep the self-adhesive backing clean and you will soon forget the breasts are not your own. I do not go braless, but I wear regular underwire bras. My breast forms are sized to give me a 40D silhouette. I love to give hugs, and folks are none the wiser the breasts are not my own. The forms are soft, pliable and warm to your body’s skin temp.  

 

I’m coming up on my 2 year anniversary on hormones and my breasts are developing to the point where I will need to find a form with a concave back.I so wish the German manufacturer made a concave back prosthetic.

C'mon now, you bought and paid for them, they are your own now.  Wear with pride and a sense of humor.

I wore breast forms (usually A-cup) for about 13 months - no glue/adhesive, just used bras to keep them in place.  Have HRT breasts now, no one has mentioned the reduction in my chest size.

ive been wearing slicone fakes for nearly a year. i didnt bother with pocket bras for the most part. regular bras to hold them in. i started with As and then moved to B C D DD but mostly stick with B-D range. i did find tear drop A/B dont go well on wider chest frame, (38 band on me) D tear drops are wide enough and DD usually being reasonably maxed out vs torso dimensions. i usually go with irregular/spiral/L shaped forms. i usually wear them with glue though the older glue layers to reactivate to an extent after a bit of time next time you put them on. i now leave the forms glued on for 2-3 days on at a time. wearing them to work ever since new year B cup (350g each) not completely invisible but no one has yet make any comment on in and they had talk among themselves when i wore a skirt to work last year. i pretty much live in breast forms unless im visiting my family for more than a few minutes to sit down and relax.

 

i do hope to get a B-large B if possible naturally. its been atleast 8 months that i go outside wearing fakes and bra in public with a light coat to hide most of the bottom curves the forms give. feels comforting and natural to see the figure they give. i got an initial assessment for HRT in 2nd week this upcoming february. my mom knows i dress differently as i told her that and she didnt take it very well. doesnt see past the wall of male identity she knew of me these past 36 years. i havent even told her about my physical appearance as she cant take that shock right now. i am seeing a gender theratist and all movement is heading feminine even though my assigned name of J and Nelsea dont always share same head space or thoughts. ive taken other steps to feminize in the past but facial hair is a tough one as its persistent.

      As has been said many times, this is not a black and white issue. Sure.  I get it that a MtF person that has gone through full male puberty and "transitioned" 6 months ago probably has an advantage in some sports.  But these bans affect elementary school kids too. I mean, banning trans women from Darts?  Chess?

      Good morning    Now @Abigail Genevieve and @Mmindy what makes you so certain I didn’t mean it to say bee itch certificate?  lol. Thanks Mindy. I was asleep when you saw this and fixed it, and yes Abigail, as a moderator I could have fixed it myself, or weren’t you pointing out the irony of that?   I use Alexis as my alarm to get up.  And I set the ringer to be two guys telling me to get up.  I was so sound asleep when they started telling me to get up that it scared me and my first thought were I had over slept.  Since I have a difficult time getting to sleep as early as I have to in order to get enough sleep I at least cut back my normal awake time to get ready.  But now I have to do my hair and get going.   enjoyed my coffee and a little time catching up   see you all later, for its hi ho hi ho it’s off to work I go.   Willow

      Republicans have long committed grave errors by emphasizing their social agenda and moral issues instead of just focusing on the economy, lowering taxes, keeping the public safe, building a strong national defense, promoting business, touting reasonable immigration policies, etc.   The country would thrive economically under Trump's tax and business policies. That's a fact. Another four years of Biden will run this country into the ground financially (including all of our 401Ks and IRAs). But the GOP continues to play right into the Dems' hands by leading with their moral crusades instead of staying the course and trusting their fiscal policies to win the day...

      Thanks.  I will look those up in the document, hopefully tomorrow.   I always look at the source on stuff like this, not what someone, particularly those adversarial, have to say.

      LGBTQ rights Project 2025 takes extreme positions against LGBTQ rights, seeking to eliminate federal protections for queer people and pursue research into conversion therapies in order to encourage gender and sexuality conformity. The policy book also lays out plans to criminalize being transgender and prohibit federal programs from supporting queer people through various policies. The project partnered with anti-LGBTQ groups the Family Policy Alliance, the Center for Family and Human Rights, and the Family Research Council. Project 2025 calls for the next secretary of Health and Human Services to “immediately put an end to the department’s foray into woke transgender activism,” which includes removing terms related to gender and sexual identity from “every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists.” The Trump administration proposed a similar idea in 2018 that would have resulted in trans people losing protections under anti-discrimination laws. [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; The New Republic, 2/8/24] Similarly, the policy book calls for HHS to stop all research related to gender identity unless the purpose is conformity to one's sex assigned at birth. The New Republic explains: “That is, research on gender-nonconforming children and teenagers should be funded by the government, but only for the purpose of studying what will make them conform, such as denying them gender-affirming care and instead trying to change their identities through ‘counseling,’ which is a form of conversion therapy.” [The New Republic, 2/8/24] The policy book’s foreword by Kevin Roberts describes “the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children” as “pornography” that “should be outlawed,” adding, “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned.” Roberts also says that “educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Roberts’ foreword states that “allowing parents or physicians to ‘reassign’ the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end.” Echoing ongoing right-wing attacks on trans athletes, Roberts also claims, “Bureaucrats at the Department of Justice force school districts to undermine girls’ sports and parents’ rights to satisfy transgender extremists.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023; TIME magazine, 5/16/22] Dame Magazine reports that Project 2025 plans to use the Department of Justice to crack down on states that “do not charge LGBTQ people and their allies with crimes under the pretense that they are breaking federal and state laws against exposing minors to pornography.” [Dame Magazine, 8/14/23] Project 2025 also calls for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to repeat “its 2016 decision that CMS could not issue a National Coverage Determination (NCD) regarding ‘gender reassignment surgery’ for Medicare beneficiaries.” The policy book’s HHS chapter continues: “In doing so, CMS should acknowledge the growing body of evidence that such interventions are dangerous and acknowledge that there is insufficient scientific evidence to support such coverage in state plans.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023] Going further, Project 2025 also demands that the next GOP administration “reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military.” The policy book’s chapter on the Defense Department claims: “Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service, and the use of public monies for transgender surgeries … for servicemembers should be ended.” [Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership, 2023]   …summaries of what’s within the rest of the document re: LGBTQ+ concerns. A person can believe their gender is fixed but incongruent with their physiology, but the authors and Trump (by his own words) just see the incongruity of an “expressed gender” that conflicts with what was/is in a person’s pants.
