No it was late they were cleaning up and I was scared. Hard enough just buying the bras. I did have a sales girl help me find the padded bras  small steps I went with a 38 b thinking it would be close as I am broad in chest and shoulders.

Just go to Victoria's Secret and ask for a fitting, that way you'll be buying the right size. I bought one there as a courtesy to the girl who measured me since they get a commission. She was really excited to help a transgender girl getting started.

Hugs, Devlyn

I'd say buy yourself forms first :) then bras. Forms make a lot of difference in changing your posture and balance. Don't go overboard, if you aren't overweight, B-size is all you need.

I agree.  I bought my bras from a bra shop that makes a point of selling to men.  You can't even work there, if you're not prepared to fit men.  Not only do you get a proper fit, they'll often give advice.
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.

Victoria Secret selection is kind of limited... I mean they target average women, not broad chested transgender folk. And their prices bite...

I was able to find some nice bras in 40b size in Kohls that fitted my chest and my forms real nice. That's why I like it. Not sure which other stores would have a good combo of wide chest / smaller cup / reasonable price and good quality+look.

I just hand wash, using a delicate fabrics detergent.

Most modern washers have a delicate setting.  Just don't add fabric softener and when done hang to dry.  At least this is what my wife and I do with our delicates.

True, the prices are a little high, but from my experience with their panties, they should last a long time. I have panties that I have been wearing for years. 2 of my favorites are from the Second Skin line that was discontinued in the 1990's or so. They go through the wash with jeans on a regular cycle. and yes, I am picky about their condition-the first loose thread or signs of fading-in the trash they go. I love to shop for more panties at Victoria's secret.  I have not bothered to get a bra fitting since I would need a 38-40 a, and they don't sell that size in store or on line. Sorry if this sounds like an ad, but they are about the only store in my town that sells something besides 8pk cotton briefs.

  Hi Jazmine,

If I may also offer a suggestion.. If you are going to wash delicate thinges in a washer, out them into a small net laudry bag made for the job. It well help keep them from damage and make retreiving them easier. And yes, use the delicate cycle.

Hugs,
