Title: Starting at the beggining
Post by: Terra on October 28, 2005, 09:00:54 PM
Ok, so my therapist thinks that I should explore femme before I do anything permament, like laser.So here is a list of questions;

1. What is a good place to get breast forms? Nothing to expensive, but something with semi-real feel and weight would be nice.

2. Um, how does one acieve a 'tuck'. Saw some 'panties'(?), are these most common?

3. Do they even MAKE shoes that is equivalent to a mens 14?

4. On that note, how do I know what is a good fit for me?

If it seems i'm being lazy and not reading charts on my own, well, I don't understand cloth sizes. My Idea of shopping is trying on cloths untill I get a good fit, then copying the size in whatever fitted. No, I don't shop clothes very often, thank goodness for military tailors! :D

Hey there Luana,

You really are being lazy aren't you  ;D  You can find some of the answers here at Susan's...

Tucking - https://www.susans.org/wiki/Tucking_and_Taping#Tucking_and_taping

Clothing sizes - https://www.susans.org/wiki/Clothing_Sizes

I just did a Google on breast forms and got 11,500,000 hits... OK I was being lazy  :D

There are simply hundreds of options with breast forms you just need to shop around to find something that suits your needs, is convenient, and affordable.

If money is an issue many people start out by making their own forms to start with, and then progress from there.  I tried it but soon found myself needing something more life like.  I searched the local area for a boutique that serves those women who have had mastectomies.  Most doctors, clinics, and hospitals have these listed.  I simply gave them a call and made some discrete inquiries, and before I knew it I had an appointment for a fitting.  Now these were very expensive, self adhesive forms that had the weight and illusion of a real breast, and they could be worn in any activity.  They were  Tria Lights from http://www.amoena.com/

That should get you going  :)

Chat later

I would bypass the suggestion of using duct tape.

That's why it's not called tuck tape!  ::)
