As mentioned earlier, I plan to start on hormones shortly. If they have the desired effect, I'll be outgrowing the 38A bras I've been wearing. I decided to try a sports bra, to accommodate the growth, until things settle down. So, I just ordered this one from Walmart. Hopefully it will be OK, but with the low price, no great loss if it isn't.

One nice thing is it's easy to reorder, if it fits. I went with nude, U.S. size L. It will be delivered to the Walmart in the local mall.
@AnneKThis is exciting news to read.... sports bras are wonderful to wear and depending on your breast development can conceal the girls or at least keep them comfortable when being very active or if you are still trying to be in male-mode.
The sports bra that you selected has nice wide shoulder straps and very smooth lines.... a very good choice.
When it arrives and your have the opportunity to try it on, please give us an update!
Hugs and well wishes... and
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY Danielle Quote from: AnneK on February 14, 2019, 10:44:51 AM

AnneK, I like this style with the wide shoulder straps; I am concerned that the one comment said gave little support. While you don't want support you do want it to help flatten your chest as you develop. My comment, hope it work out for you and let us know how it does work for you.
I totally love wearing my sports bras and I am sure that you will love wearing them as well.
I have a small chest so I right now don't need the underwire bras, I truly do hope that you find them as comfortable and wonderful to wear as I have.

I love wearing my regular bras too. The main reason for the sports bras is to adapt to the changing size. Once my breasts have stopped growing, I'll go for another fitting and start buying the proper size.

I am so excited for you and I cannot wait to hear how you are becoming the woman that you are meant to be.

I have an appointment, with an endocrinologist, booked in April.
I started wearing sports bra in 2005, even though I do not have boobs. My first sports bra was from Wal-mart, and it was just US$ 1 at a discounted price. In summer, I sometimes wear sports bra for outdoor activity, but here few women wear sports bra outdoors. Even a few women wear bikini in beaches. Here women tend to be very critical of their own body shape.

I have various sports bra, prices ranging from US$1 to >US$20. Nowadays I order most of my bras from AliExpress.com, as every thing is cheap there with free delivery.

Andie1963, An underwire bra even at your size will give them better definition and make them stand out a little more, just a thought.

Really, I believe that I should buy a few underwire bras then. Thank you so much for that information.

Andie1963, go somewhere that has a good selection of underwire bras in your size and try several on to see how they fit and make you look your best.
That is so cool. Congrats on the sports bra order! Totally by accident, I discovered a really decent trans friendly site to buy bras. Was really impressed with my first t-shirt bra. I know it sounds silly, some of you gals own a lot of them. But putting on that first nice bra really is an empowering experience.
The store where I have been buying my bras is so "trans friendly" they won't hire staff who aren't prepared to fit men. In that store, fitting trans, cross dressers, etc. is all part of the job. I've shopped in a few lingerie shops where I was made to feel as though I were just another customer. In some, I think I've received better service than a CIS woman would get!

That's incredible. If you don't mind me asking, where did you go?

Here's the store. It's in Toronto.

Well, it finally arrived. Must have been on a slow boat from China. ;)
It fits OK, but feels different than my regular bras. It also flattens my chest more.
Annek,
I love also very light training bras.
At Homme Mystere they have "bras for men", but don't let that put you off. In a review of their scrunchy bra a person wrote she "loved it to bits". I couldn't resist, and now I love mine to bits! It reminds me of the bras I was so jealous of girls getting to wear. Super cute (and just try to find that in a 42band!) and the fabric is so slippery fun.
Not one to be discrete in, but mmm.
Lauren

It took less than 1 month?
Even here in S. Korea which is located a few hundred miles from PR China, it sometimes takes more than 1 month. But some items are delivered quickly within 2 weeks such as stockings and eyelashes.
But the delivery is FREE! Here in S. Korea, a typical domestic delivery fee is at least US$2, and US$7 to my house as I live in an island. This means that it takes US$8 to order a hosiery product which typically costs about US$1 at AliExpress.com. So, I love AliExpress.com.

It was free delivery too, but I had to pick it up at the local Wallymart.
Congratulations on your first bra.
I have bras that were fitted and sports bras and sports bras for the gym (high support). I wear the regular sports bras and gym sports bras when I need a high degree of support. Beige goes well with most everything.
I am a 42B or 40C and have 555 cc implants. Sports bras rule :)

Congratulations on your first bra.
It's not my first bra. I've been wearing daily for a few years. However, it is my first sports bra.
Love my sports bras... They are all I wear.... Unless I go out.
Hey,
I get frustrated trying to find a sports bra in a large enough band size, especially a cute one or a cute sports top with an integrated bra.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Lauren
