since i'll start fulltime soon, idk if i should like buy a bra and stuff it or walk around flatchested.

what/would did/you do?

You should start wearing a bra, as they can take quite a bit of getting used to.

Also, proper silicon-filled breastforms feel really nice, add to the feeling of girl-ness and help you get used to the weight and feel.  Much better than filling your bra with socks

Sorry if this takes us offtopic... but I was wondering something which is somewhat related?

I'm still in-the-closet?  Even though I'm pre-everything nature seem to have given me already some breasts? Which was fine when I was fat but now I'm loosing weight they start to kind of jiggle while I walk? It's getting very uncomfortable? Are there bras that support but are not so visible? So no obvious tell tail lines and such?

I might as well get used to wearing them anyway?

I bought a pair of breast forms from TrueKare and bras to fit them. After a while, though, the adhesive did start to wear out. I then used Hollister Medical Adhesive (through Amazon.com) to hold them in place.

The adhesive eventually started giving me a rash, so I've sewn pockets into my bras to hold the forms in place.

A sports bra might work well for you. They're designed to prevent jiggling.

When i first went full time, i got one of those bra's which have those built in air filled padding, you can buy some which can give the impression that you have B cups, but you wont have any cleavage.
If you want cleavage, then you might want to invest in one of those super realistic silicone breasts

Search pals breast forms. (people sell them on fleebay) Very comfortable and unlike most they aren't wrapped in a nasty feeling plastic bag that you sweat like crazy under. Plus they are very reasonably priced. I still use some smaller of these given I don't have real breasts the size I would like to fit my frame. I'm somewhere between a 34AA and a 34A right now and 34B is where I want to end up. I wouldn't recommend HUGE boobs as they clearly will draw attention But super flat chested looks just as odd IMHO.

The hardest part for me was the same thing genetic women go through, finding a bra that fits, looks good and is comfortable.

*shrug* I never saw the point personally at least until it started to become vulgar to not use one.

Before HRT I used to put those fairly expensive silicon breast forms in a bra, they were absolutely awful and looked like chicken fillets. If it was a hot day I they would sweat like crazy! I hated them and in the end stuffed cotton wool down my bra instead.

I loved the silicone breast forms (back when I needed them) they came with a soft cloth cover so I didn't have major sweating issues.  And they would fill out my blouses and sweaters wonderfully.  When I finally grew my own breasts I sold them to someone else.

The original http://www.nubra.com/NuBra.htm is the way to go, just pop them into a regular bra and watch out girlfriend

I find the notion of sticking artificial boobs under my clothes utterly repellent. It would be proof that I was a fake. I know this is all in my head and probably very silly, but it is highly important that I feel like a real woman and not an imitator. I cannot explain it very well but I would far, far rather have genuine AAs than a false C cup.

Beverley, that's exactly how I felt about them.

You realize most of those products were made for "real women"? Wigs sure aren't manufactured for the TG community either. I see TG women who have absolutely HORRIBLE hair yet refuse to wear a wig. I bet any "real women" who had hair that bad would wear one.

We use a LOT of products to improve our appearance as do "real women". My sister loves these same pals forms I used after I showed them to her. She sure isn't proud of her natural AA boobs

BTW these are what I've used, cheap and very comfortable. http://www.supergelproducts.com/palspush-upswithnipples-1.aspx

I guess it depends on how large your girls are now.  Like I started out with A cups because of how XY individuals in my family carry their weight.  I bought some gel inserts, wore a padded bra, and voila - boobage!  If you ain't got nothing to work with, then you're better off with forms.

I've never bothered with anything.. And I seem to pass with the fairly minimal growth I've had so far from HRT.. I can understand why some go for forms, they just aren't my thing..

Um???

Not really, you just, uh, put it on, and yeah.....it's a bra......

I never said my feelings made any sense Stephe.

I understand the TG women who refuse to wear a wig. My own hair was short and very thin on top with a receding hairline and I have spent nearly 18 months getting it back in shape so I can ditch the wig. It is my one concession and I hate it. I could not stand the wig and something else like breast forms at the same time.

Beverley

I've always had long hair, so I've never worn a wig so I can't really make comment on wigs, but I can understand where Beverley is coming from.

I also agree with Kelly, not my thing either and I have small breasts too.

I think the OP was talking about pre hrt/zero breasts. I think being totally flat chested (like I was, thin with zero chest) and trying to pass is too much like wearing a sign on your back. YMMV, if you have some girls already, that's a different story.

Lol, there's not too much difference with my size now compared to pre HRT. But before I ever took HRT I hated those breast forms and didn't use them more that a couple of times and I felt far more uncomfortable with them than without them.

Even when I was flat as a surfboard I didn't bother with anything..
