Title: Look for suggestions gym wear
Post by: LilDevilOfPrada on November 10, 2014, 12:40:56 PM
I want to start yoga but for quite a few reason I will have to do so presenting as male.

The problem comes in with my B cup, I need suggestions for hiding them while still not causing damage to myself while working out.
Also I don't have a major budget being a university student, however I can splurge if need be.

I'm a little bit over B too and for halloween I managed to hide them pretty well with a A-cup sport bra with band 2 inch smaller, bandage bound pretty tight, a "slimming tube" wear higher than usual(reduced the definition of the boobs), and a thight tank top. Then wearing a bit larger tops they should not pop that much.

Maybe not the best solution, but the only one I found as mine are still hard as rock they won't slip or squease easily.

Did you have any breathing issues?

Not much, I wouldn't have done a marathon like this but I was breathing pretty good.
If you're afraid just go to wal-mart there they have the sport bras, the sliming tube and the tank top so you can try them in a cabin and try few stretchs. The bandages cost about 3-5$ at drug store.

I like lulu lemon, it's tight but not crazy and reasonably think material in the crotch area to stop sweat spot in cis women. But it works great at hiding and smoothing.

That what I have been using for the past 5 years anyhow.

I wear a black Jockey seamfree crew T-Shirt.  They are 6% spandex and hold the girls in place pretty well.  They don't really hide anything, but they keep the jiggle to a minimum.

I go to water areobics topless.  I found that after a few sessions everyone has had a look and we can just get on with the program.  They aren't going to call the cops and arrest you for illegal possession of boobs.

I figure since I'm going to have boobs for the rest of my life I should just get used to people seeing them.  No man ever wants to get caught looking at another man's boobs.  Women might stare a bit, but you can just look them in the eye and signal: "Hey I'm up here".

Seriously, it's not going to be a problem!

Ftm here, I found a bra vest that I slip over my head and hold them fairly well and lets one breath well still.  I got it at Walmart.
