Yesterday I bought my first bra! With the forms I think she said that I was a C-44 ? Another of those teary eyed moments, where I got to see myself for the first time more as myself and less as... the person I used to be.

Congrats! Have you worked out how to hook it up and unhook it from behind yet? Took me a few months!

Congratulations. It's not as easy at looks. Not everyone can. I happen to be one of those can so don't feel bad if you can't because even my mom couldn't accomplish what I do. Hugs

I either hook it than pull it over my head or use my latch in front bras. My arms are too stiff to attempt the behind the back move and it takes too long for my body to dry sufficiently  to latch from front and turn around.

I latch in front and then turn it around, then slip my arms through the straps.  My mom did it that way when I was little and my wife did it while we were still together, so cis-females do it, so it must be okay.
Your current situation is not your final destination.

Congrats!! Like Karlie Ann says, hook it up, turn it around and pass your arms through the straps. My wife and former g/f did it that way unless I was around to do it from the back for them.

Funny, after I had my BA surgery, haven't worn a bra in ages!! No need to!

Love,
Clare

Congrats!! I'll also vouch for the 'clasp in front' method. I personally can get it from the back too, but choose the front anyways since it is easy, and less contorting :)

Yea for you!!!   ;D

As for flexibility - it took a year of Pilates before I do the 'behind the back' trick, but it was important (don't really know why) so I did what I had to do and finally got there.

Very happy for you . . .
