HRT & desired breast size perfer sm or lrg?

[Harlow]

Was just wondering if anyone was like me in not wanting bigger than an A or AA cup size?? I'm excited to feminize and having a more female chest is part of that. I just want small breasts, and it's. so common to read frustration of MTF's breasts not developing fast enough or big enough and talks of implants.

So curious to see how many of you rather have small breasts and why.

[Harlow]

or large breasts, no discrimination

interesting topic. I hope to end up with C cup breasts, but I will not get implants to obtain them; and if I get bigger than so be it.

I'd like to make it to a c-cup too, so that my breasts will be helpful in getting me gendered correctly.

But right now, I'm just thrilled to chemically be a woman and to enjoy the breasts I have.

As I am more concerned to what is under my clothes then what I present as, if I could avoid having to tell my family friends and cover changes under weight loss (I would be moving to a different city for many reasons)then I would want small breasts. I would want at least big enough to fill a bra and to feel the weight which from time to time seems to be a missing part of me but still small enough to hide easily.

If I have to tell my family and friends then there is nothing holding me back I would want to feminize as much as possible I would want my male persona to die. Larger breasts would also draw some attention from what ever tells I couldn't get rid of.

For me it was size ratio. Hrt in all aspects should get you 1 to 1 1/2 size below your closed family female size. I am on the tall side along with big boned (heavy upper body) and i got to a small B cup. My mom is a C. So i got close but it was not to body ratio and had breast implants to make a full C. So i would look at things in your body ratio. But again i know many who go to extremes. But that happens even with normal cis girls.

May your hormones bring you well placed growth.

I'm generally pretty happy with my breast size. I am a 34 C. But I would like them to round out more but they seem to be doing that and I am getting a lot of weight in the bottom of my boobs. They're simply impossible to hide. I'm more concerned with shape then size. I could deal with A cups if they were perky and would want them more then C cups that are blah. Shape for me is really important.

I don't know though if you do the subtract four inches thing I would be -.5 as there is 3.5 inches difference between my band size 32.5 and my bust size, 36. But no one would say I am even close to flat chested lol

Well I actually didn't want bigger breast I actually was hoping for a B cup when I started hrt. Since I'm very athletic I figured breast would hinder my working out and I was right. So far at 8 months in I wear a 38C bra. So obviously I got more than planned.
While I didn't really want breast this size I've actually grown to like them. I am afraid they will end up D's in the end but if they do I'll get used to it.
But I don't think your alone in not wanting big breast. But really you have no control over the size of your breast.

Interesting, before HRT I was fine with implants and liked C or D cup sizes on other women. I thought I would have wanted the same when it came time for GCS. I thought it was more likely that I would get implants than not.

After a couple years on HRT, and watching an in-law of mine go through breast reduction surgery, I prefer a B cup. My mom is a B cup though and it's been a few years, I think I'm screwed, lol. I'm OK with an A cup but I'd prefer to have a B cup. In need of a diet change and an exercise plan, I seriously doubt I'm going to make a B cup.

I also am totally against implants for myself. I don't want to deal with having to getting them replaced for decades to come and then be left with saggy skin for the rest of my life when I decide to stop getting implants in my golden years.

I'm content enough where I am at. My reasoning for wanting smaller breasts is just not having to deal with "more." C cups look great on other women but I don't think I would want to carry them 24/7, myself. Haha.

Don't get me wrong though, I can appreciate breasts of any size and I'll be happy with a girlfriend no matter what size she is. Just speaking for myself, I've grown to prefer smaller ones to call my own. (no pun intended)

Good thing I had time to think about it I guess.

Exactly. Yes. I used to be very active and athletic. And now that I have all this free time in beautiful Seattle and I'm thinking it's time for me to back into an active lifestyle, I think having large breasts would just get in the way. Literally, at times. lol

I was on a hormonal supplement for a few months but due to cost I haven't had it in quite a while. I was completely flat chested before though and now I have what looks like decent looking pecs, but they're certainly not muscle lol. I fit into a 42A bra size but for someone my size A-cup is hardly noticable unless you feel them yourself. I'm thinking I want a size C-cup, and the supplements I was on target breast growth specifically and over time and given my body size that shouldn't be a problem. Do I want larger.....kinda. I'll have to see when I start getting there first. It'll be a few years until I can really let loose and go full board with feminizing my body completely, unless the military somehow in the next 5 years starts pushing for support of transexuals which given the rate that it's changing now I wouldn't be surprised lol. Would love it, but highly doubtful it would ever happen in my lifetime.

I wear forms for gender-bending, so it's not the same thing, but I wanted a modest yet clearly feminine chest.  (Drag isn't exactly my style.) 

Well, I can go from from really obvious to "wait, those are big pecs, right?" or even completely hidden depending on cut, pattern, and thickness of clothing, with a fairly typical 11:10 bust-to-underbust ratio, 37":33.5".  Or, a better image, they fill about half the space inside my crossed arms.

My size (both on charts and in fact) is 34D.

For strange reasons I don't entirely understand, 85% of women wear the wrong bra size - nearly always a loose band and small cups. 

Put another way, cup sizes are smaller than they have a reputation for.   

I'd guess many cis-men are A-B, large chests with a little bit of breast development.  Something like 44A, a 10.23:10 ratio.

Just a suggestion but whatever size you end up with, take an open mind to a professional fitting.  Even forms are uncomfortable in the wrong size (34C is a big NO for me.  *shudder*).  I can't imagine how much a poor fit would suck with actual breast tissue.


EDIT, PS:

D'oh!  Why?

For the same reason I don't shave my for arms or wear blue sparkly eyeshadow or huge heels or have any interest in hoop earrings.  I personally feel that there is such a thing as trying too hard, where one feature can distract from the whole.

On top of that (and this is just me) I feel rather gender-neutral inside and going too far presenting either way doesn't feel right.

It's hard to visualize what a given cup size would look like on a given chest size...myself, I would like breasts that are "a handful", maybe a titch more (no pun intended), so I'm looking at a large C-small D. Right now, they're a B, and just a bit smaller than a handful...but given my band size (46), although they can be observed while I am wearing clothes, they're not quite adequate in the statement I would like to make.

In other words, a "C" on me would look like a DD on a smaller-framed girl (assuming same volume). But, if I just get close to my desired size, I wouldn't get a BA. In fact, where I am now (considering I am still having growing going on), I'm just going to let Mother Nature take her course, and be happy with whatever shows up.

Exactly.  I'm a 34C, I take my measurements pretty religiously  and I'm always having people try to tell me that I'm mistaken.  Someone on this site did just a couple of days ago.....

I wanted to end up with C cups when I started out, but now that I am actually wearing them, I think I'd like to gain another cup size, and very likely will in time.  However, I'm happy enough where I'm at

[Jenna Marie]

When I first started, I bought a padded bra and these little stick-on "add a cup size" things from Target and ended up able to see what I'd look like at a 40C... and decided that was MUCH too big. I was really hoping to stay around a 38C/40B, which I thought looked OK on me.

The universe has a sense of humor, apparently. Depending on the bra, now I'm usually 42DD/40DDD. (I was professionally fitted and came out 38D, but that's in Wacoal, which apparently runs small compared to "department store" sizes. And I may need to go bra shopping again soon, as the Wacoal are getting a little tight. *sigh*) Quite honestly, although I've adjusted, I'm afraid they're going to keep growing and I'm going to need to consider a reduction. Another irony, since I'd hoped not to have to surgically mess with my breasts.

(My mother is 36B. Clearly I take after the other side of the family!)

[E-Brennan]

Small.  A, B at the largest.  As long as they're big enough to legitimately wear a bra, I'll be happy.  If they were weightless, then larger would work, but big tits seem to be a big pain in the ass.

Now big ass, that's another story...

[Chrystal]

I also prefer having smaller breasts. I'd prefer a large B cup.

[Joanna Dark]

Well, I can go from from really obvious to "wait, those are big pecs, right?" or even completely hidden depending on cut, pattern, and thickness of clothing, with a fairly typical 11:10 bust-to-underbust ratio, 37":33.5".  Or, a better image, they fill about half the space inside my crossed arms.

My size (both on charts and in fact) is 34D.

How do you hide 34D boobs? I'm a 34C  (ratio: 36";32.5") although I could be a 32C. But I can't hide them no matter what. I guess if I wore a shirt that was three sizes too big I could. But even pre-HRT when I was a 36A/B (ratio: 35; 36.75) people asked me questions all the time about why I have boobs.

I think a lot of it depends on shape though. You could have some volume that makes them a certain size but you need shape to really make them pop. I know when I look at pictures of women who get BA so I can compare the way my boobs look to another girl's, it always seems like I am at best an A cup or B cup. I mean my pre-HRT chest didn't look boobish at although they protruded enough but now with my shirt off I look like I have boobs. Well, I do have boobs lol

Anybody else have this problem? That you look at other girl's chests and it seems like you are smaller then you are. IDK, maybe it is the way they are iphotographed. I'm only ever looking at BA before and after images. Not porn.

Cis-women have more developed breasts than we typically do, especially once they've had a child and breast fed.

As I understand it, we usually can get to "Tanner Stage 3", sometimes 4.

Breasts (female)


Tanner I
    no glandular tissue: areola follows the skin contours of the chest (prepubertal) [typically age 10 and younger]
Tanner II
    breast bud forms, with small area of surrounding glandular tissue; areola begins to widen [10-11.5]
Tanner III
    breast begins to become more elevated, and extends beyond the borders of the areola, which continues to widen but remains in contour with surrounding breast [11.5-13]
Tanner IV
    increased breast size and elevation; areola and papilla form a secondary mound projecting from the contour of the surrounding breast [13-15]
Tanner V
    breast reaches final adult size; areola returns to contour of the surrounding breast, with a projecting central papilla. [15+]

What this means is, even though "by the numbers" we are a (for example) 34C, our breasts won't necessarily appear as developed (as "full") as a cis-woman's 34C.

[how-audrey]

I think I'd prefer to have small, cute boobs. According to genetics and being trans, I can't expect much more than that, but I'm totally okay with that. If I somehow get bigger than an A, I'm certainly not going to complain!
