Breast Forms

Hi, I have often thought of getting breast forms but it always seemed a waste of money. I make do with a couple of ankle hi socks filled with rice. My Bra size is 44B which is a bit larger than I would like but I am not a great Bra shopper. I bought the Bra at wal Mart one day when the store was almost empty. When I took it to the checkout counter I almost had a heart attack. The lady took it out of the box and waved it around to open it up. I was beginning to think it might be illegal for a man to buy a Bra but she was only checking to see that the Bra in the box was not a more expensive one slipped in to cheat the store. Strangely enough the Bra fit pretty well the only problem is that now when I look down I can't see my feet. Oh well you can't have everything they say. I wonder why not?

It is interesting that a 44B keeps you from seeing your feet. I use to wear a 42B&C and that wasn't a problem. My 42J keeps me from seeing anything below me. The projection is about 6" depending on the bra. I guess it depends all in what you are trying to achieve. With my B&C cup it felt like I had two lumps sticking out, know feel or movement. That has all changed with larger silicone breast forms. It is easy to purchase both forms and bras on line. Most companies ship very discretly.

Hi again,

Now that I am retired my opportunities to dress fully are few and far between but I do persevere and occasionally I dress in the garage and drive out. My wife is very fragile and doesn't get around well so I don't worry too much about getting caught. I suppose that one day I will get a pair of breast forms just to enjoy the feel of them. Not being able to see my feet is of course an exaggeration brought on by looking down the first time and being confronted by a pair of breasts.

I was surprised to see such a quick response to my post. I have only been a member here for a few days and looking at the dates on most of these posts I got the feeling that things are slow here. I expect I will peek in here pretty much on a daily basis since being retired gives me a bit more time to do things on line that I couldn't do at work.

I would strongly recommend you try silicone breast forms. The feel is great and I love the weight. When I first went to a C cup I thought it was perfect, but soon found out bigger is better. I then went to DDD which weigh 2.5lbs ea. The additional weight caused them to bounce with my every movement I made. Not being satisfied I now wear a J cup which is a size 18. They weigh 4.5lbs ea and I now know I am wearing something. The only draw back is out in public you are very noticeably.

Hey,

I've been using forms for a while, I absolutely adore them. a couple of good places in Europe,

http://www.special-trade.eu/store/silicon-...reast-forms.php

this place is in germany - the lady in charge is very helpful indeed. if you are in germany they even have a fitting room! they also supply medical adhesive for fixing the form directly to your skin. it is quite pricey though

http://softcaresilicone.org/index.php?page...=41〈=en

this place is in the uk and i have a pair of these. they are very soft indeed. i would recommend searching ebay for them first though as they sell the same forms on there for a lot less money, if you're lucky to catch an auction not buy it now.

i'm a 36B by the way, with triangulars, hmmmm.

take care x

Hi,

I'm also new to these forums and am still perusing through them :P

I'm looking at buying some breast forms and have my wife's permission :)

I haven't decided what size to buy, i don't want to go too big so they look out of proportions i guess i will have to do some research.

Im also thinking of purchasing the self adhesive type although they are expensive they also appear to be closest you can get to having breasts without surgery or hormones. B)

Hi,

once I had a DD form but for me it already looked to big. I have a natural breast with 42 inch that is 44-46. With the DD form it look like to torpedos like Madonna with his special bra. So not real. I think a B or C would be right for me. Just to increase the size by 2 or 4 inch.

The idea with the socks filled with rice is good. I will try this.

Greetings

Nelly

I just bought forms though the mail. I got B-Cups, and use old bras that were my wifes that are the right band size (38) but not cup size © but they seem to work really well and are comfortable. Not wanting to spend money on bra's till after the HRT kicks in. :D

Well, I don't have them any more, but I'm buying another pair fairly soon - I used the silicone enhacners that women use to go up one cup size. They feel great, aren't too big and if you are over weight like I am you might have a bit of development there already - I do!

Hummmmm :huh:

I found out I was TS rather than CD. Strangely, I never used the big silicone forms when I was cross dressing, I used forms that I had made or the NuBra, silicone type. I have no idea of what cup size they gave me - but they were large enough to fill me out. That is what I so desired then. ;)

Now in transition I wear a bra all the time. I have a little development, about a small B, but because I am losing a lot of weight I find I need to use enhancers - silicone type, the ones women use to add size in their bras - it adds two cup sizes, so techniclally I am a small D cup. Because I am tall and wear xl or women's 18W, a D-cup is not huge, more like a B on a medium sized woman. :D

I also bought silicone enhancer breasts that actually self adhere, which were advertised on the internet for women but seem more like for transsexual or CD types. This was after I wore out the NuBra. These actually are supposed to be D cup, but are much larger somehow. The weight is perfect. Even my wife says they look and feel natural on me.

So I have my bra on, with the smaller enhancers when active, changing to the self-adhesive to sleep, and on those rare occasions I like to go braless. Going braless is a real experience, as I tend to sag a bit and they go every which way like the real thing. I guess this is because they are on top of my real breast tissue. They also have small nipples built in.

I am between a 42 and 44 band. A 42 D and a 44 C are actually about the same size bra. Because of the weight loss I am down-sizing to 38 and 40 band size, and use a C cup, which is more natutural, but depends on the brand. I have trouble finding one with a good fitting strap. Strangely, the string straps seem to stay up better on me, but dig in a bit more. I cannot get the formed cup or lightly padded bras to look right, so I try to stay with a natural soft cup - which will show the nipples a bit. I liked that as a CD but its a bit of a problem as a full time woman. :P

Probably more information than you wanted to know. Its really different in transition, I never knew. For example I need to have a drawer full of bras now - I also need to keep them clean and fresh. And I just go into the stores and buy them. The clerks will even help you out if you present yourself as a transsexual, they are just cautious their other customers may be offended seeing a male in the fitting room, so I ask for a good time to come when they aren't so busy. And I buy expensive bras - $40 and up. They fit and hold their shape better. I had to leave the Walmart shopping behind and switch to Department Stores. :rolleyes:

Things have definately changed for me. :lol:

Mia, I enjoy the weight and bounce the J cup gives me. I don't have a problem with "t" shirts and seldom wear a tank top. I wear a 42 bra and even though a J cup is large it fits my frame. It gives me a projection of about 6". I don't like anything smaller than a DDD. I do wear a C cup occasionally but get very little enjoyment it just makes me less noticeable. When I wear a bra I want the feel of a woman not just the look. haha Fran

Mia, Happy New Year to you also. Curious, do you wear a padded bra for your A cup or something else. Fran

When I was 16 I had a pair of those breast enhancers of which I had to get rid of thanks to my Mom. This Month I got a Pair of Silicone Breasts that make me a 38 C. My first reaction was all "Whoa, these are huge" but now I've grown into them a lil and wouldn't change them.

Glad to her you like your C- cup silicone breasts. I don't know why more of us don't wear them. They feel and look great.

I like rubinesque women and want to be like them, therefore I'm happy to see that I have many 'kindred' spirits in the J cup department, as that's what I've finally settled on for my size, simply because I love the 'noticeable' feminine feeling they give me, and figure that if I'm going to go, I might as well go all the way (heh). The cost of some decent J cup 'falsies' is a bit intimidating though. I suppose I'll have to stick to my homemade "J's" for now, but I would love to upgrade to the realistic, even when nude, ones. Sadly, the three hundred dollar price-tag is a bit much for me right now.

deglerious, save up for the J cups. I love mine and so much enjoy the weight and bounce. I also have smaller ones when I don't want to be noticed as much.

I'm certainly wanting to do that, but they are a bit pricey and there are other things I'd like as well [sigh], I suppose that I'll have to really think on this one...but they do sound so delicious...

      What an amazing life you've shared with your wife. I can understand the trepidation you had at telling her at that point in your relationship but it certainly saved all of the guilt, the questioning and the secrecy that would have filled your lives had you not.   I'm on the other end of the spectrum having denied and buried my truth for decades and fast approaching 50 years of marriage when the dysphoria and depression finally came to critical mass and I unloaded it all on a New Year's Day morning. As you might imagine, it led to a lot of questions, of questioning everything, of anger and hurt on my wife's part. Guilt, embarrassment, fear...and anything else you can imagine on my part.   Thankfully, our love for each other has always been the foundation of our relationship and, ultimately, we both agreed that staying together was what we both wanted. It was a tough year but, now into the 2d since my coming out, we've hit our stride and are exploring this new norm in our life.   I do so love your blog.

      I thought I would try my version of this. Changes in bold.   I am Transgender.  Sometimes it is remote, sometimes close. Sometimes I am euphoric, sometimes depressed. It is something I cannot get away from and cannot welcome enough. I see some things both ways that neither men as men see or women as women see.  I can be gentle and compassionate and hard as nails. I was born with male genitals but a female heart   I have my heart.  Whatever it is. When I look at a female, I wish I looked like her  Depends on the woman.  When I look at a male, I wish I did not look like him   Ditto. I envy female movements, softness, behaviors, appearances, fashion...EVERYTHING Female Depends. Sometimes I get angry at them because women spend time and energy in ways men don't.  It is not necessarily bad.  I could do without the gossip. Not all women gossip.  Excessive focus on fashion is something I find annoying. And expensive. I tolerate all things male out of social obligation...not because I feel like a man or because it makes me happy....but because that's what I was forced to believe was my only choice....beginning in early childhood. Sometimes it is helpful to put on the Iron Man suit and act accordingly.  But I have seen some tough women. When I look at myself in the mirror in only bra and panties...I can see my nude female body...and it makes me smile and feel amazing and warm inside....yet sad because that is not my reality. I could go either way, mostly. Really.  In tests in the last two years technicians have gone really quiet when they see how little body and leg hair I have.  I looked at myself this morning.  Remove a few clues and a girl is standing there. When I look at myself in the mirror in only boxers...I can see my nude male body and it saddens me deeply and makes me feel sick and depressed...and at times...even ashamed....Because this IS my reality. At this point I am not going to do that. In the mood I am in I might break the mirror. My true gender does not influence my sexual interests or preferences...or change who I am....in any form or fashion. Gender identity is in no way connected to anything sexually related on any level.  Not sure I want to make that statement so categorically. Life as a male leaves me with a feeling that something is off...that something is missing...that something is not as it should have been.   Well put. The idea of having to continue living as a male...as someone I am not...for the rest of my life...even if its only part time...causes great sadness and anxiety within myself. I've got priorities beyond this that this must fit into. The idea of living as the girl I am and always have been on a full time basis...regardless of where I am, what I am doing or who I am around...brings me great joy, happiness and a sense of peace within myself.  Would be neat. Looking like and living as a girl makes me smile.   Would be neat.  There are downsides.  Looking like and living as a guy makes me sad.   I have had lots of practice accepting this. I am Transgender....I am a girl

      Bob had the night off from teaching kara-tay and they planned to spend a lot of it at Cabaret.   Once in, Taylor waited for her man to park and looked around.  There was a sign "Mary, Paul and Peter LIVE tonight" and, sure enough, three microphones were standing in the open area.  A new hostess came up to her. "Are you alone?" "Oh, no.  He's coming." Taylor was led to a table. Bob was there in a minute and managed to get in there and seat her.  She smiled. "The act will be along in a few minutes. And Congratulations! I am SO EXCITED!!" Taylor responded to his look. "I got promoted." "To what?" "Head of Marketing." "You're kidding." "Nope.  It seems the Board finally woke up to the fact that the China cash cow may come to an end and they need to do something. Did you know that the VPs on up all get over a million dollars in compensation without really doing anything?" "No." "I am supposed to figure out how to re-energize over thirty acres of factory that have laid idle for forty years or more." "Why don't they do it?" She whispered,"the head of production is the son of the previous head of production. He has never produced anything."  She explained that everything was made in China and exported back to the US and sold under different brand names. "How am I going to find someone?" He smiled. "Congratulations. Sounds like a problem.  Hey, today we were talking about problems at our Philly plant.  One, it was built before World War 2. Second the city and state are tightening regulations and the tax structure is adverse.  Third, we get protestors every day, some of whom break into the factory.  People are talking about relocating." "We are forty miles from an interstate." "That is a plus.  Makes it harder for protestors to find us if we moved here." "You are really thinking that?" "I am, right now. I can't speak for the company.  I know there is a rail line." "Spur, actually, with several sidings.  The buildings are in good shape." "Do you have about five acres we could look at? How about if I take some pictures and send them off?" "Great.  And protestors would not be tolerated in Millville.  The factory area once upon a time was the main employer and people are very protective." Two weeks later she was in Philadelphia with Gibson and a few others.  The deal was signed and by end of summer ten acres, with an option on another ten, were being upgraded and equipment was coming in by rail. Not five, but ten.  She got a $20,000 bonus out of the blue.  The company was flush with Chinese cash that they didn't know what to do with. She was developing plans. But back to dinner.  "Did I tell you what they are paying me?" "No." She told him. "That is more than I am making." "You don't sound happy." "It takes some getting used to.  You are Management and Croesus combined." "Yeah. Is this a problem?" "No.  As I said, it takes some getting used to."  The musicians arrived and were introduced: three local teenagers in Peter Paul and Mary clothing and wigs like it was the 60s.  They began singing. "They are good," she said. "They are lip-synching." "They are good at lip-synching." They listened for a while. "Work is going to be intense for a while." "I'll bet." "I won't be able to talk to you about some of it." "I bet." They had a good evening.   The high point for Bob was that she let him put his hand on hers.  The high point for her was Bob did not seem threatened by her now being Management and making more than he did with a Masters. She didn't tell him she was likely to be in on the distribution of money the Chinese sent every year to keep them fat and happy.  But she had to finish up that report, so the evening ended early.  He drove her home, checked her apartment for people and again walked away hearing her lock the door three times.  She didn't say it, but he knew she was going to have a long talk with her therapist as well.   Her therapist was a night owl.

      I sit back and think, am I this person? I definitely argue, but with the willingness to alter my opinion if I find that my information is lacking. So, no? I also don't go pointing fingers in faces like a crazed person, usually I am the one to argue with that kind of person; typically because they can't see past emotion and have little concern for actual facts. Sometimes it's sport that I do this (ENTP, baby!), but usually it comes from a place of trying to inform and shift opinion--or at least get them to actually obtain facts or get their facts from objective sources.
