Title: My first un-padded bra!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Debra on February 07, 2011, 03:28:31 PM
So I went shopping this Saturday with my friend Maddie (Madelyn, she posted about it in detail as well) and I decided it was high time to try on some non-padded bras again. I found the 36A T-shirt bras and tried a couple on and I was amazed. Just 4 or 5 months ago, I had done this and felt so depressed because I still did not fill an A cup but on Saturday, I DID! And I still felt like I looked ok.

Mind you, I still want C's most likely at some point...but there's something about feeling some satisfaction at where you're at in life/transition.

So here on out, i have to admit that I will probably be wearing these bras for the most part except in cases where I want to show cleavage (which is fairly often).....I still need some major pushup for cleavage. =)

But still I felt like it was quite a milestone....AND it just happens to be one of my 2011 goals. =D

Addendum: In the past, guys I'm making out with have gone to caress my breasts through my bra....and ended up with hands full of padding....so NOW, they will end up with hands of my BOOBS YES!!!! =) hehehehehe

I have several unpadded ones and I really should use the lightly padded ones.  It gives a better shape to the girls.

But I did finally follow your lead and got fitted properly.  I am a 38B.  I did get one of the Miraculous bra, and I now have cleavage.  YAY.

Way to GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!   Yay, I'm so happy for you!  And jealous - I'm still at least a month  or so (at LEAST) away from starting HRT.  Just gotta connect with an endo, which is taking some time.  But I have started laser, and I go full-time at work starting April 25 (Easter Monday - new life, rebirth, great symbolism!).  That begins my RLE clock.  I haven't posted much lately, because I moved out a week ago last Saturday, and I've just been too busy, getting settled, meeting new people, and commuting.  But wow, I am so HAPPY for you!!!   :-*

Congratulations!  It makes me want to run out and grab that Victoria's Secret bombshell pushup, because, hey, I could use that right about now.  ;)

Oh my GODS, the Miraculous bras ARE.  I'm barely an A and they give me DELIGHTFUL cleavage.

That's awesome! Great to hear. I guess it's time go bra shopping again to upgrade the bras to A size?

Congratulations Jerica! 

I am at the opposite end from you.  I am an A who has only been wearing bras full-time less than a week.
