Breast Forms Compared to your new natural breast

[Phyl]

I'm a crossdresser for two years, pretty much full time at home. I love my breast forms, 4 pairs of different sizes. My question is, how do you breast feel after they start growing from HRT?

Very tender!  If you bump them they give you a start

Yeah, I was gonna say: Sore.

 

I mean, they're lovely and it feels RIGHT to have them, but it doesn't take a lot to make me yelp because you hit them wrong.

 

Hugs!

Development occurs with irregular periods of growth, rest, then resuming growth (and not necessarily symmetrically in both breasts) over several years.  I'll be at 3 years on HRT in three weeks.  Last year, i thought the nipple area was sensitive, but recently they've been a lot more sensitive!  With growth comes other breast sensations, like bouncing when you drive over a bump or descend stairs.  I long since stopped rolling over on my stomach in bed.

 

But for me, the clear benefit from HRT hasn't been body changes as much as mental improvement!  I'm much less stressed these days.  At my last checkup at my gender clinic, my doctor said my T and E levels were in the range of a typical cisgender woman (when not on her period).  No wonder I am much happier watching Say Yes to the Dress than action movies 💃

 

Cheers,

If you wear breast forms and start HRT, the forms will go up on a shelf in your closet in 3 to 6 months because it will hurt to wear them.  Swinging and revolving doors become fierce enemies about that time, and pets will cause you grief for about the next 3 years if they climb on you.  Driving will become an uncomfortable adventure on winding mountain roads.  The list goes on.  At 2 years along I went through a period where my nipples were so ticklish that I cried putting on a pullover sweater.  Later, it was 24/7 erotic sensations  for a few months that was worse than the Ticklish.  At 13 years being a breast owner, I have had 7 mammograms, and one cancer scare with a biopsy hole punched in one breast followed by the worst three days of worry as they read the biopsy tissue, which thankfully was benign intrusive tissue.  Life is full of adventure even with B cups, but I would not have had it any other way.

Four years so far, but who's counting?

For me breast forms were hard to keep in place initially.  Then as my natural breasts started growing, the combination was too big. Now with only a small amount of real breast growth, I’m considering implants.  My insurance will cover them, but I can’t find a doctor within my state willing.  Well, not entirely true, I found one but they want $11,000 up front and I deal with insurance.

I can vouch for everything already said above.  Especially the pets thing. Both my cats are a major threat to me any time I am in bed.  😺

 

I can add one oddity that was temporary, (lasting only a month or so):  that rush of tingly energy that accompanies the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response that I experience quite often.  (look up ASMR if you are not familiar).  After I'd been on hormones for around six to eight weeks this rush of tingly energy would finish its run at my nipples giving me a powerful electrical shock feeling there.  I honestly felt that if I took a video in a dark room I'd see bolts of lightning shooting out from my nipples.  It was a wild sensation that was just a half step below pain, very intense.  Sometimes I would look forward to it, other times I would dread it.  

 

I am thinking about what some of you said in this thread: that growth comes at irregular periods with seeming lack of activity in between.  Makes me wonder what else will be in store for me 😬

 

Be advised...I think some of my experiences might seem crazy to some people. Maybe my experiences are rare or just confusing to most trans people.  I think this is due to my being autistic.  My nervous system has non-standard wiring in many places, making my experience of our shared reality unique to me.  It'll be interesting to hear if any others have experienced this electric ASMR glitch too.

On that note, I straight up told my therapist that I wanted HRT. THAT led to an appointment with Michigan Medicine (you need a note from a psychologist for HRT here, Michigan isn't an informed consent state). In some informed consent states you can just walk into a Planned Parenthood office and say, "Hey, I'd like HRT," then you sign some forms and you're on your way.

 

Anyway, after my second psychologist signed off on it there was blood screening with my endo and about a month into THAT (and a few harassment calls from my therapist) HRT happened. You need to be proactive.

 

Hugs!

Wow, the responses were quite informative. 

Personally, I never wanted my breasts, they just grew in my teens.

 

I don't remember much about how that felt back then because it has been decades ago, but my last growing spree that started a little over a year ago has been quite the adventure.

Soreness and sensitivity, don't pinch a nipple while sleeping (ouch), and I hate speed bumps. Of course, the speed bumps have been a problem for years already. 

Wear proper support, an underwire if over a C cup will keep you from getting neck and back pain. Padded bras are a must in cold weather, and that is even if you are not growing.

Corn starch to keep the girls dry so you don't get heat rashes, especially underneath during the day and in the cleavage area at night. For goodness's sake do not bump into something, the girls will let you know!

Jogging is a major problem, and either a good bra or compression top will keep the nips from chaffing. If the nipples are chaffed use "bag balm" on them.  

 

That's all I can think of adding
