Breast size

[Tills]

I'll put this in here as I don't want to upset anyone in the breast augmentation thread area.

I had my breasts measured professionally today for the first time, with a proper bra fitting service.

42DD.

The lovely ladies couldn't believe I had no implants, until I took off my (crazily tight) sports bra. Anyway, they fitted me with some great bras and my breasts looked wonderful - their word. Very happy with the new cleavage too

Edit: they are Tanner stage 5

I've had a lot of rubbish things happen in my life so this is one thing I'm delighted about.

I'm happy for you. 😊

[KathyLauren]

I am happy for you, since you are happy with yourself.

I am happy with my 38A girls.  At least they are all mine, and I think they are pretty cute.

[D'Amalie]

Certainly affirming!  Good for you!

Mine are all me too! 44C means not likely to ever have implants either.

That is a nice stage in life!

I am jealous 48 a here and no nipple growth at all.

Congratulation Tills, most of us are envious! I managed a 42C, and I was reasonably happy. It was not a dysphoria trigger and all me, which were my priorities, but a friend of mine kept arguing that for practical reasons, I should consider augmentation. I had to admit that it was hard to get bras my size, that with my upper body and belly size, I could be taken for an overweight man, and I did have nearly half a cup asymmetry.

So for purely practical reasons, I did get augmentation to even sized D's. Surprisingly, this made me much more confident to go to the beach and pool, and day to day, has noticeably reduced the amount of times I am misgendered. It had a greater effect than I had considered, and, though I have a 'thing' about being non natural, I am glad I had it done.

Hugs,

Allie

Nicely filling a 36B. I'd prefer a 38 band  (or laying off the cake!) but haven't stumbled across any yet.

I'm at a 40B. But I had a 40" chest before transition, so that is my torso size. I can drop down to a 38C and use a band extender so I can breathe, which I found to be very important.

I wish 🩷

I wish 🩷

maybe someday 🤞

Thanks for lovely comments everyone. I wanted to tread really carefully with this thread. @ChrissyRyan mentioned in another thread just now that when you transition the changes are what your body gives you.

Please also know that I have had some truly awful, awful, things happen in my life so I am just grateful for this way in which Mother Nature smiled and gave something back.

I'll get around to posting in the Introductions section soon. With what's going on in the western world, I feel like I need you all and this place like never before.

Isn't it lovely to carry such breast weight!

I am up to 36 DD cup on a good day.

I spend several hours every day on a hospital grade electric breast pump. I'm trying to get breast milk.

Breathing is important.

Are you on hormone therapy? Perhaps this article can be of help.

I was sick (really sick) last month and they prescribed me domperidone for that. I might have to change my name to Dairylyn.

Have you seen the t shirt with the upwards arrow and words like, "Look my eyes are up here"?

I got my breasts professionally measured back in February and I was a 54B back then.  And I've found in the last few months, at first my bra did have a little space at the top, but I noticed today that I don't have that space anymore.  And I've been trying to loose weight and while the scale has been saying that I am gaining (of course people have said not to worry over the numbers a scale gives), I have been seeing other parts of my body shrinking like between me breasts and waist.  But I have noticed that my hips have gotten wider and now today, I wonder if the fat is going to those two places, or other parts have been growing. (My bloodwork from a few days ago showed my prolactin is a little high.)

And having recently switched to wearing women's tops full time, I've been noticing that when I am wearing no bra, my nipples are poking through (and one white shirt I can see my dark aerola and nipples through the shirt with no bra).  They were hidden by even the lightest men's tops (just shows how dense the fabric is on mens clothing versus women's clothing).    However, I have also noticed that I can definitely see the roundness of my breasts through the tops now (they're lower when I don't have bra on, and not as pronounced, but they still stick out and you can see them in side profile.  The men's tops were hiding those as well.
