I use to absolutly love wearing a bra when I crossdressed. Now that I have to wear one, not so much.

Yeah, funny thing. After I was on hormones for a while, I stopped liking it too, don't wear mine anymore but I do "grab hold" if I find myself running down a flight of stairs 

winter  it keeps me warm. Never wore one consistently in the summer not be the same experience

I'm ready for a move to a sexy bra, I've been wearing a nice colored one since starting transition . I'm ready for an upgrade . I've been doing all right in the breast department so its time.

True confessions, that rings so true and after a year full-time it is less thrilling and more practical concerns prevail?  Ying and yang on a tire swing

I just like the way the form of my body looks with a bra

I like my lace cami bras a lot, they work nice with low cut tops or tank tops,

In this weather, a very hot sweaty 40c day, NO F***ing way. Put one one this morning, I wore a very light dress, but not see through, it came off by 9am, soaking wet.

Yes and No.

Sometimes it is just nice to feel free.

But when dressing up - oh yes!

I've managed to find very comfortable day-to-day casual bras so I wear them, partly for a bit more protection because things are tender too.

Most of them, NO. But there is one that I wear most of the time.

I've come to the solid conclusion after not wearing a bra today at work, I need it or my nipples get rubbed raw from my coveralls rubbing them all day as I move around. It's miserable.

Fortunately for me I have a variety of sports bras that are quite comfy and in the winter keep the girls warm.....the summer is going to be a different story.....

bandaids.

When I first started on HRT, I was 18, had been on blockers for a while and fulltime in a new city & went back to school (tafe) to do my VCE year 11 & 12, which I did in 1 year and I was wearing forms, they got smaller as I got bigger, by the time I was an A-cup, which was around the 6 month mark, (mind you they were hurting from what seemed the day before I started HRT) I wore padded push up bras, these days I love soft cup cotton bras, to get around the "high beams" I put a bandaid or nipple tape on, comes off in the shower

Tape....bandaid.....on the nips of all places? No way!

wearing a bra in hot weather is a sweaty experience..

On really hot days, if  I am at home I not wear a top or a bra just a bikini top.

overall I love wearing bra's, if they irritate you, maybe you are wearing the wrong size. I don't really feel mine at all after wearing them for more than 10 minutes.

but ladies.. I have being told by g-girls.. woman do suffer a bit for beauty and often to look good we need to endure some discomfort. I think this is true, some of the outfits I have looked best in.. were uncomfortable to wear.

I bought some from Macy's intimates because my nipples and aureolas are puffy and make too much of a statement in a soft bra under a clingy T top and I prefer to not be stared at by some dork. These are just the ticket, finally I used one as a template and make my own from moleskin with a little cotton pad in the center which works great and is much more cost effective.
