Hello again. It' s been awhile since I've posted anything. I am finally able to order my first pair of breast forms. Right now I'm trying to decide if I should order a B or C cup. I'm 6 ft tall and weigh about 170 lbs. My bra size is around a 40 or 42. (I bought a size 40 from walmart, but it felt tight. I am planning on going to a major department store which does fittings.) As far as the cup size, I want an average look. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I am an inch shorter than you are, but with the same 42 inch bra. My hormone-grown girls are happy in a B cup which I use a set of enhancers for snugging things up if I really want to be perky. I only wear those with certain dresses though. Since I am full time, I guess I pass fairly well and look OK with a tight B. I do have some pre-hormone days forms that put me up to a C, but they felt much too heavy, and yes, I had one pop out of my bra at a terrible moment. I was a brides maid, and it happened when we were getting ready to go into the church!!

Start out with a B rated form for your bra band size, and if you want to later you could stack on an enhancer for just a little more character.

Hi 2B,

I am a slender build like you. And I thought I was being conservative starting with C cups. But, they looked topheavy to me. I didn't have a big enough behind to match. I eventually downsized to B, and, now that I have transitioned, am more like an A.

Of course, suit your own tastes. Whatever you go with, enjoy yourself!

Love, Megan

I am 6ft and 126lb and on a whim at walmart I purchased a black,lacey,padded,pushup bra in a size 38 c cup. I did not try it on at the store, I just loved the way it looked. Well at home, it fit perfect and is comfortable and looks good on me and I wear it all the time. All the women I have talked to say they are like me, that they have one certain bra that they wear more than others. It just took me a while to find the right one.

I wear a 42B or 40C. I'm 6'1" and my ideal weight would be around 187 lbs. I would like a 42C, and but I doubt I will get there after 2 1/2 years on HRT. Yet 42B is ok, and the girls show. I can add padded bras if I wanted to make them look bigger.

A 42C would be perfect, at least for me.

Thank all of you for the help.

Since I was leaning towards the B cup, I believe I'm going to follow Vicky's advice and statrt there. I just didn't want to look (as Rose put it) top heavy. It's just going to be trail and error. Hope to be able to post the results soon.

Hi 2bfree. I'm only a weedy 5 feet 6 inches tall, and enduring horizontal weight redistribution issues (i.e. I am fat - entirely my own fault). I am 42 inch chest and prefer DD. Probably too big for slender people, but DD fits well with me as a more rotund person. DD gives me shape over my blobbiness, and seems to hit the right note for how I "femme" I feel: like it would be how I'd hope to be as a female. I love breast forms, they have their own shape and feel and I'd choose nothing over them. I am a great fan of the "Soft Leaves" brand - I find them comfortable, a tad firm, but price is excellent. As for bras, I am not keen on underwired, I have a favourite and quite soft peach one that allows a certain level of sag, and it feels perfect. So comfortable and natural feeling! The underwired ones more often than not kill my ribs. Good luck in your choices and enjoy! Let us know how you get on.

2bfree: I like wearing minimizers. I have a band size of of 38 and use a C cup. By using a mininmizer you can go with the larger band size and use a smaller cup size. I can fill out a C cup with out no padding or enhancers. I like my girls to show so I went with the C cup. Check out BALI's Mininmizer Bra's. I think they ar the best. My favorite is the Lace Desire Shimmery Floral Embroidered Mininmizer. Love Amber L.

Retail stores such as Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom's, Macy's, Lane Bryant, Catherine's, Cacique and other retail stores will measure you for the correct bra band and cup. Call ahead and ask if the Sales Assocoate will fit you for a bra. The fitting is in a private fitting room.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.

      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
