Breast forms?

[Annaiyah]

I'm a little torn as to whether or not i should get myself a pair of breast forms.

As for my natural breasts i'm still in the a-cup range i think so as i go full-time i would love to just wear a pair of breast forms without having to stuff clothes down my bras because i'm tired of that.

The main reason why i don't want to get a pair is because i feel... fake. I'll probably feel like a guy dressed as a woman instead of an actual woman.

The thing about it is if i do get a pair, i am going to need to also get myself some smudge-proof makeup because i want to wear low-crop tops and have cleavage.

At any point in my transition, i do have my natural breasts fully grow i will resell my breast forms.


I might take the plunge, i might not. I'm just still a little bothered by the prospect that after my ffs and srs, i'll still need then because my breasts aren't at a decent size and i definitely don't want breast implants and also don't want to wait for my breasts to fully grow. But mind you my breasts are still budding.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

I don't know how long you've been transitioning, but I don't know if breast forms would be a good idea. I would say no, because you are still developing. For me, 2 1/2 months ago I could easily wear my breast forms, now not so much XD If you want good breast forms you end up spending a good amount of money for something that looks and feels natural. I actually this week got my first bra which was a 38C and is padded. I'm not a true C cup, but it was the only size that fits perfectly without me trying to find a size 46A because that is a really hard one to find. I think that if you do a padded bra, you'll end up looking more natural and you're not carrying an extra pound or two on your chest on top of your breasts too. I absolutely love this method because instead of people seeing just two cones of breasts developing, now they see a fully figured woman which is a confidence boost imo. Hope this helps

I love my VS Add-A-Cup bras. Even today with my barely B because with them I have real cleavage to show off, not just a hint of it. What also helped me early on with the right bras are gel inserts which gave me the same as I have today. The style of a bra can make a BIG difference in how well the girls show. Ask any cis-woman with an A-cup 

IMHO I would not bother with breast forms for any sort of public display. Especially if there is no way of assuring yourself that the advertising does indeed live up to it's hype. BTW - For about 30 years now I have never believed any picture of anything.

I wrestled with the same question a while back.  I wanted to be able to see where I would end up eventually and breast forms seemed a good way.  I eventually found a used pair, but quickly realized that a simple padded bra worked just as well.  You already have breasts and they are developing, so the time you will get use from the investment will likely be very limited.  For me, spending the money on fitted bras with lift and a little padding has been money better spent, but the choice is yours.  Cool thing, you have options!

I use to have a set of breast forms. And unless I get breast cancer I won't get another set. From the outward appearance I looked good. But It did not feel right. I, too, felt like a guy with fake breasts. I am at the point in my life where things have to be real. I am me, not someone trying to look and act different. I know for some, breast forms help that person be who they are. Or circumstances require a person to change how they present. That is what works for them. I just feel that where my journey is now is what it is for me.

That about does it for me.

I'm not getting breast forms or implants. They sound like they're more trouble than it's worth and everything in me is telling me not to do it. The only reason i was going to get them was because i wanted to have the outward appearance of having fully developed breasts. But i'm still tempted only because wearing silicone breasts will be easier and probably look better than stuffing socks down my bras. Once i have the money i will though buy an add-a-cup bra from Victoria's Secret.

I don't know how long you've been transitioning.

I kinda make my own for now. I make them out of flubber. Basically it's a compound made of water, borax soap additive and elmers glue. It creates a substance that has a similar weight and feel of human fat and holds heat well. I double bag it in Ziploc bags and duct tape them shut to prevent leakage. Then I throw them into the feet of some nylons so I don't have skin on plastic and I am done.

It's also easy to take some out to make them smaller as I develop to keep my size similar.

Since I am pre-everything and just did not like an empty bra I ended up ordering some cheap breast forms on Amazon just to try and see... They are not the greatest fit (depending on the bra I wear to hold them) and they are always cold... With the right clothing it does look OK and at 500g each provides some interesting bounce...

I agree - it does somehow feel odd but still a whole lot better than having to wait ;-) I hope one day soon I will not have to cheat anymore....

I have a set of forms my wife bought for me yrs ago at Victoria Secret they fit nice in pocket bras and give me a little more breast since I'm a aa to small b.

I forgot to mention that if I have any reason at all to get a pair of breast forms it would be just to fill my 34dd bra, as long as I still wear shirts that cover my chest and I don't try to show any cleavage, which I'm tired of having to do. I'm a little torn because I still want to get a Victoria's Secret add-a-cup bra.

"Chicken cutlets", small silicone pads that can be inserted to fill in those gaps.  My gynecomastia doesn't quite fill the bras that otherwise fit me, and these pads help fill in the gap.  Probably similar to Serena's "flubber".   I've seen these sold everywhere from Amazon to 'behind the counter' in Macy's prom dress department.
