Using bra insert just because?

[ganjina]

Hi girls,

I was wondering if any of you had any experience with those bra filler thingees to make your breasts look a bit bigger. I think in general I kind of like my body, but... that area feels kind of uncomfortably small when compared to general body size and rib cage size. It's not like I want to have eye catching things stand out, just a bit more of a normal-ish volume.

I plan to just go to a shop and buy a pair, trying to find a good size and shape according to my measures and whim. Would that be ok? Maybe I should just ask my cis-girl SO who is very supportive to help me choose but it does not feel like a very "sexy" question to ask  . Ideally I want to buy and just use them when we are out without her having to notice or at least focus on that.

Until I get to the full size that will work for my body I have been using them to fill the difference although they are greatly smaller than when I started. From what I have heard from others including my mom using them is more common than even CIS woman generally will admit too. Even my mom used them to bring the size of one up until my dad put that to an end.

I mean I use lightly padded bras but only for comfort reasons.

However they do bump up the size a bit which is good.

Yeah. Until you have boobs, a padded bra is totally the way to go.

Yeah a lot of cis-girls use it. I am OK with my own, I expected way less based on siblings, so I feel lucky but it's still on the small side when compared to my frame... also girls in this country average on the larger end of C or D so that does not help. If I lived in, say, France, that'd be different .

I wonder how to choose shape? Based on the general fact that a previously male body shapes the breasts a bit like a pectoral, I am not sure if that means I should buy a filling in the same general shape to make it blend in with my body or if it should be rounder to balance out. Once I open the pack, I can't return it. I'd like it to just look OK, I mean breasts come in all shapes and sizes but ideally you want to make an informed choice.

I used to wear bra inserts before I had my BA, they work, and they boosted my self confidence, but If I wanted cleavage, I had to use tape, which was very uncomfortable.

yeah before hrt I used to wear a 34 C since back then my upper body was pretty bulky so that size made me look proportionate. I bought some c cup cutlets and it worked beautifully with a padded bra. I still use inserts, just depends on the kind of outfit.
