Got a few bras in the mail yesterday. My wife wonders why I want them since my boobs aren't big enough to need them. I tried to explain how it feels. The symbolism is deep. There is a reason women burned them in protest. I feel it settles in my mind the femininity that is there. It is not a fetish, it is not sexual. I need to support my mind while I cannot yet be out publicly. Even if i don't need to support my itty bitty titties.

I wore one to work today, a constant hug to my true self.

I figured you ladies would understand a bit more than sbe did. She hates the damned things :)

The first time I tried it I found really didn't like it. Big surprise. It wasn't tight, but the constant feeling something around my chest.

These days, after years of HRT, I prefer to wear them and find it uncomfortable going without. If they are tight though, that's really bad. Such a relief then I take them off.

Getting the right size seems kinda weird for male bodies. I'm worrying about the band size more and sticking to sports bras

I just didn't like feeling it after all those years having nothing there. Felt weird.

I need it now, and perhaps I've gotten used to it. It feels quite comforting, and not in the way it might have before I had breasts. Its hard to explain, and kind of hard to remember that far back as well.

I love my bras but after wearing them all day I just want to take them off no matter how comfortable they are at the end of the day and come the weekend they say in the draw unless I need to go out, and in time you will under stand why women find then a pain....

Most tween girls don't need them either, but wear them.

QuoteI tried to explain how it feels.
Ask her if she needed her first bra or did she get one to feel more grown up?
It's the same thing.

I fill out a 38A and wear one every day because it just feels right.  The only time it's an issue is on hot, sticky days.
I'm a 65 year old male who has been thinking about SRS for many years.  I also was a  full cross dresser for a few years.  I wear a bra, pantyhose and nail polish daily because it just feels right.

She's needed it from the time she wore one. Which is why she isn't comprehending. It's always just been a necessity, for her.
As she puts it, "puberty is just a cruel joke played on happy children."

I've had that same love/hate relationship with corsets for 20 years, now! :)

I love wearing a bra, if they fit right they are really comfortable. Wearing a bra is part of being a female, it made me feel part of the club. I remember I was very excited when I needed to wear a bra for the first time

WIth D cup breasts, I need to wear one, and I am very happy

The right fit is important.  I was fitted at the bra store.  Apparently, many women are wearing the wrong size bra, which can make them uncomfortable.

My wife owns exactly one bra. same one for years and still in like new condition. she rarely wears it, preferring the natural swing and bounce.
I have 6 and she puts me in one about once a week, mostly it is a dominance thing with her. one sport bra and the others are lacy, girly show-off styles.
We are both 38C, perky, pokie nips. Neither of us has absolute need of the support.

I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam.

I suppose it all goes back to personal preference. Boxers, briefs, or none. Dresses or pants. Hats or headbands... etc.

Indeed, Madam! I have a friend taking me bra shopping tomorrow. I already have enough for a bit of cleavage, but only with some help to present it!

That is very true. I was one of those women, I went for a bra fitting and it turned out I was wearing the wrong cup size and band size. When a bra fits you right, then you don't even feel like you wearing it.

Bras are kind of a love/hate thing.  Like if I don't wear them the boobs will hurt more (often a lot)... but if I do wear them, they get pretty uncomfortable after a couple hours.  Kind of a persistent irritating necessity.   The most comfy bra I've found is a sports bra.. on account especially when I am exercising a lot.

These days, a bra is a practical necessity, not something sexy.  No, I don't need it for support, yet.  But, shortly after I started HRT, I had to start wearing one for abrasion protection.  And now that I am full-time, vanity demands that I wear one for a bit of padding.  Hopefully, I'll need it for support soon.  :)
