How do I make it look like I have boobs without buying breast forms? I'm on a little bit of a budget and can't afford breast forms.
Currently, at work, I use a padded bralette with removable option. I then add pads, sometimes i need to cut them to fit, and now I have hust over an a cup under a babydoll tshirt... I'm more than sure coworkers notice. For the weekend I use a water bra with a b cup and supplement with a foam insert, really inexpensive at a lingerie store or ebay. Good luck! Have fun!
Right now I'm just using socks lol and stuffing them into my bra. I know it's kinda lame but it's the closest thing I have lol
I did that for years!
if you are good with a sewing machine, use POLYFIL (pillow stuffing), create a pocket in your bra and pad however big you want. light, airy and interchangeable.
Eve, I'm terrible with a sewing machine! I think I'll just stick to stuffing socks into my bra to make it look like boobs :)
There are a little and cheap breast enchacers, I could afford she I was on parent allowance
I just wear any solid bra. If it is too soft, then I insert some pads, which I do not like wearing for long time.

try taking the little tennis socks and put stuffing in them. gives you projection and looks better than just rolled socks.
Someone told me once (at one of those makeover shops) to use an old set of nylons and stuff bird seed into the end and tie it off. she showed me a sample and it looked and it seemed like it would work pretty good. I never did try it myself though. I usually like to wear a stiff formed bra, and if I really feel the need, I'll use a couple of push up pads in each cup.

just don't wear them to a bird sanctuary or to the beach. the birds would go all Hitchcock on you. lol. but seriously, you can buy beads and do the same thing. cheap beads from a dollar store/ discount store. and nylons.
Pour some rice into a pair of socks and tie the top. Leave plenty of space in the sock so the rice can move and mould into the shape of your bra and body.I wear a B cup so its not heavy. The weight of the rice may be a problem though if you are a very large cup.
I find this a simple and cheap alternative.
I found those unnecessary shoulder pads made great breast forms before I grew into my bras. I had some expensive breast forms but found them too heavy and hot to wear. I could briefly empathize with those women seeking a breast reduction due to back aches and more.

Wow! Breast reduction? It is another world to me.

I got some lil silicon ones from ebay for about £15-20. theyre only A cups but have the right weight and bounce, and a quite detailed little nip!. theyre just silicon gel poured into a mould and sealed, so not expensive, last a while and are waterproof. Theyre a little bit slick to the touch but very smooth and soft, damn they feel awesome!! they warm up to your body temp after a while. way better than balled up socks like i had before. it feels wierd when theyre not there now like somethings are missing. might move up to a B cup tho ;)

oh ps i also got some hip ones too, theyre AWESOME. theyre the same deal but flatter like pork chops and they make skinny jeans look so much better. i wear tights under my jeans to hold them in place. im a beanpole so got no curve and the hips really fill you out and make you feel right. ive noticed little things like that have a massive good effect on your confidence and general enjoyment of things.
strongly recommended.
Oh, I tried so many :laugh:
Caution: Don't try water filled balloons ::)
Very embarrassing moment in my life :laugh:
These are the best.

Thanks for the link. I've long thought the material in gel mouse pads would be perfect for breast forms. Apparently someone else did as well. I'll start saving my pennies for a pair of those.
Before I had breast forms, I used to pack a stocking, a leg for each breast, with pillow fluff and sand. It allows it to mold and hold well, sand adds a bit of weight as well as fullness, and they didn't irritate my skin. Dont use too much sand as can make noise. Need a tight nit stocking too to keep the sand from leaking.
tried a number of things over the years the stockings with a cup of birdseed I used worked pretty well have picked up a pair of breast forms on amazon for like 40 bucks and am really happy with my DDs! help balance my wide guyish shoulders were then in an under wire C-cup bra and they stay in place real well and are comfy to wear
Paula, Can you please post a link?
i've been using these

lets me easilly fill a A-cup bra, could probably be a B cup once i get any development.
ive been wearing then with a bra for almost 3 months now, and its plenty large enough for me to notice that they are there and help me feel better, but not too large that other people are noticing with a somewhat baggy shirt. so far ive had no comments about them from any of my coworkers... but then again, they are probably too busy talking about a different coworker that they found out is trans* to start talking about me.

They look very good on you and not too small or too large. The forms in the link are their size 7, 34dd/36d, which would be pretty big on some people. I have fairly wide shoulders, though, so I'm thinking that size might be OK.
yes I thought the same thing but with the wide shoulders they work well
I just now actually buying things for myself and found forms for less than five bucks
what did you get itsmeJD? gota link?
I am not transgender, i am here because I have a friend who just told me that they were. I came here to try to understand what this is all about so that I know what is going on with my friend. I had to chuckle when I read this post. Not laughing because of this being a transgendered website, but because women with no breast struggle with this all the time. The friend that I was telling you about is having this same issue. I told him to use shoulder pads that you can get at walmart. I think that they have them in the craft section or the sewing section. Many women use these when they don't have much to work with.
If you spend some time looking through the big fashion magazines you'll realize that it's possible to look quite feminine and glamorous without having much in the breast area. Fashion models have always typically been small busted, but I've noticed that by putting more emphasis on things like hair, makeup, clothing and accessories, awareness of smallness in the bust can be greatly minimized.
Bra stuffed with cotton wool. I've seen girls go it to look older.
So what do i do?? Ideally i would love implants. But as my size is 40AA it's difficult to know what i can do for a feminine look. And with big shoulders and large masculine arms...another problem. Bronwyn
when I first started transitioning and was a lot more self conscious I actually bought some masectomy breast forms off of Ebay. They came to like just over $40 CAD after shipping and were decent quality. Ended up giving them to a friend of mine to help with his drag queen persona.
Not sure if that is still too expensive for you or not right now but always something to look at
I now need to wear bra for support because I have developed my nipples using "nipplefunwear" breast cups.
Worn regularly, they pull you out and plump out your boobs too. Get a tight tee shirt bra to hold you in place, then suck your nipples out into the breast cups, really hard.
Let your bra hold them in place for 12 hours and then release. Adjust your bra and then re-apply the suction. You will be really sore and saggy.
Repeat for several weeks and you will be quite wobbly with large nipples.
But I have found some greasy white deposits in my breast cups so I may be producing some milk as a result of the pumpng!
