It's trial and error. If you go to Victoria Secret and get measured. The size you get from them will fit their bras. Trying to take that size and buy a different brand just does not work. Also it is just underwear now. Never should have thought I would feel this way if you would have asked me a year and a half ago.

I could never get the right fit till I got measured, I got measured at Victoria Secret, but wearing a different brand isn't as comfortable as you say, I hate bras now, it is just underwear, but necessity, on a night out I wear the Victoria secret push-up which gives good support for my DDs, and another thing, never let a guy give you a bra, big mistake, hubby used to give me bra and lingerie sets for birthdays, he thought he was doing the right thing, might look sexy and pretty, but painful fit, throwing his money away, should have got me flowers or chocolates instead lol

It's simple, take that bra and bring it back where he got it from. Exchange for a similar but in the right size. He won't be offended.

Thanks for the advice, but he used to order lingerie sets, matching bras and panties online from online catalogues and sometimes stores, he just didn't understand sizes or colors, frilly pink and girly but not comfortable, I'd wear them for the birthday then discreetly leave them in a charity store few weeks later, but resently I've told him I'II do my bra shopping in Victoria Secret and he is happy with that, it's not a place a man wants to be. I'd never want to offend him, he is a fantastic husband that any girl could wish for, bra shopping is definitely a girl thing.

As the old joke goes. Men sweat. Women don't sweat, they perspire. 

Hi girls 🙋🏼 After almost 2 mths on hrt my breasts are getting tender.  I just was on vacation where I tried surfing, ouch!  It may be time for some protection.

You gals are all so silly!  I actually just got my first bra yesterday... No, I haven't even started HRT yet, but I bought some breast forms and a specialty bra that allows you to place them into little pockets that it has.  I wore it like this for a few minutes yesterday in private (my wife STILL doesn't know...) and it was the best feeling ever. I love the way the bra feels when I wear it.  Talk about gender Euphoria!  I had a feeling that one day it wouldn't be that special any more, but I'm happy that at least for now, it is.

I have an anecdote about my forms. I assumed they were going to be delivered to my PO Box so I put my daughters name on the order, Well they would not deliver to the PO box so they look up my daughters address and delivered them there. Oh the agony. Her and her husband were making fun of them. They took pictures and sent them to all their friends on Facebook. Then she told me. I told her someone was playing a joke on her and told her to give them to me and I will get to the bottom of it. When I finally came out about 6 months later I had to explain they were mine. Now I have my own home grown.

Water and breasts. Surfing, I use to wear a wet suit. I have not been in the water on the beach for 2 years 🙁 I would need a different wet suit now, one with some color 🙂 ). When wearing a rash guard you must use something to protect your nipple area. The material will chew up your nipples.

Prior to my BA I wore a sports bra. I forgot I had it on most of the time. I loved to take it off but my wife at the time kept saying I was showing and to put something on. Now post BA I got fitted and have very nice BRA's. Sizing is brand specific and you need to get in the store and try them on ( I understand about being self conscious but it must be done). I never liked wearing a bra and still do not. I would much like to be braless but people say things. Pre-BA at work I would get a lot of comments from men and woman if I did not wear a bra. Now I must wear a bra when in public.

I had my BA on 7/17/17 and am looking to shed my bra more and more. Sleeping I am braless. I need to expand some free time. When I started transition I wanted breasts and still like them. They make tops took good. I would not give them up for anything but bras a annoying.

That is so silly! I'm always afraid something like that will happen with the stuff I'm sending to my PO box. I have a bunch of dresses and skirts coming now, and if they went to my house, well, I'll just say this: my daughter is a Tom boy. There would be no denying that they were mine!

Wearing bras in the beginning was magical. Now they are just underwear. They don't make me feel more feminine my breasts is there to do the job. I am a B cup and love looking down at my shirt without a bra seeing them there knowing that is all me. I usually wear my bra most of the day but night time comes bra is off at home.

With colder weather approuching hiding 'straps' become less of a problem. With the constant bouncing of my 379 Peterbilt I sometimes wish wore one more often . . .

My biggest problem is the 5 other girls in our house!! Well, the two babies & grandmother aren't really a prob yet but keeping decent underwear thru the constant wash is well-neigh impossible . . . don't really care for what cis girls choose to wear.

Used to 'tuck' 24/7 but no more!!

That's the size I'm wanting!  I was talking to my mom about this the other day and I told her that I don't want to be 'huge' like her, and we both giggled.  I just want a nice size that I can entice my future bf with one day, not to show off to the world.  I'm too shy for that!!
