HI : Just ordered two Amoena exercise brassieres in my size , one in black and one nude , for $102 if they don't fit I can return them and I love getting bras in the mail to try on , they should fit except I have never ordered an
Amoena bra ,and I don't know how they run sizewize , but will be an expert in about ten days (free shipping at the holidays is slow , but I still ordered them on cyber Monday for my sissy holiday.
Hope they fit as good as they look , love full coverage support bras in my dotage, with a hiwaist LLPG one each of black and nude to go with my brassieres, stockings and gift certificate for being a CDing sissy queen man
in lingerie. Anyone else shop for themselves for the holidays and buy a cute brassiere ?
Bump to the front , all you honeys need to fess up and tell us about your favorite bra, or first bra, or the last bra you wore ; has anyone ever shopped for you (a brassiere) or given you one ? Also has anyone ever switched bras with a GG ?
This thread is having a long life! Okay, My first bras were bought for me by my future wife. I first tried on one of hers so we could figure my size. Then we'd go into a department store and look together. If I saw one I really liked I'd say something like, "You'd look great in that." That was her signal. Of course I'd have to model it for her. It was the same with pantie shopping. Today I shop in drab and on-line. No big deal anymore!

I've heard that gynecomastia causes breasts in males. Can it be induced? If so, that may be an alternative to implants or hrt.Quote:

Love the choices of bras out there. I have loads. Love the feel. I get most of mine in the sales.
A bra filled with water balloons and pantyhose is my favourite... Love the feel and bounce I get from the balloons.
Love putting on a bra it just feels so right and comfy could wear one all day my wife thinks im weird she cant wait to get hers off lol
One of the girls on this forum has gynecomastia. She is lucky, in my opinion. In hers, too, which is nice that she is comfortable with who she is. I have these A+ cup breasts, more than most I guess, but less than others.
P.S. I won't put her name out on this whole list, because she might not like that without permission, but if you PM me I will give you her name and you can visit her page.
I love to wear colorfull patterned bras .Some padded and some soft underwired .I buy quite a lot in the monthly sales at Asda (part of Walmart).

When I can I am wearing my bra with breastform, I feel more feminine with a bra

i hate wearing bras!!! I prefer wearing camis!!!!!
Wearing a bra (like I am right now) I finally see why girls don't like wearing them, the under wire really digs in, however I have yet to get any breast forms and I have been told that they make all the difference! But they're so 'spensive!!!
Although I don't fill my Bra's with breastforms or anything I still wear one. Although for me it's not about what I wear like a lot of you here I feel more feminine with one. And if my partner has to wear one every day then so shall I :P
The best thing I ever did though was spend some time to find the proper size and whatnot. I know so many CD Girls who wear one that's too tight or far too loose but it really does help to find the right one.
I find that I need to wear a bra when I dress up. It gives me the full feminine feel:) plus I wear the right fit for my body size:) so it works and makes me look more natural:) I usually wear them with pads built in, since I dont buy any forms or anything. But I absolutely love bras! They are comfortable and make me feel wonderful:)
I always wear a bra or sometimes a body briefer when I dress. I try to find a pushup that adds 2 cup sizes as I have decent size man boobies! When I wear that I can create some nice cleavage and fill the cup nicely. The bra usually cost more but a nice effect. I have had forms but really prefer not to use them and go natural!
For me, I don't have my bra on during the day but it feels so nice to have my breasts supported when I can put them on when I get home. I didn't realize how much I was slouching until I started CD and measured a 40C from my "man boobs" that I was slouching the whole time to hide. They are noticeable even without if I am sitting with good posture and it is a source of body image issues for me when I am dressed as a male. When I put the bra on I like how they fill out my shirts, they are supported and it feels nice.
Love wearing bra's, have several that are for wearing when in drab, so that no one can tell, and then the one's I wear with my forms, which are quite large. I have had a couple of occasions in the past week to be in the bra and forms for 10 hours a day. Have to say that even though I love them, I can understand why the wife can't wait to take hers off after a long day...

...feels wonderful and, to me, is the most feminine thing I could wear. It makes me feel lovely.
Hugs!!! Yes! Just another great reason for a beautiful bra
I see no reason to cross dress without wearing a bra. It is truly all fantasy and what piece of clothing says "female" more than a bra? The invention of the forms has made a huge difference in the sensations. Of course it is not the same as being a woman but it is so different from being a man that the sensations alone make the experience unique and satisfying.
I know i would!!!!!!!Quote:

If the underwire is digging in, you are wearing the wrong size bra. The underwire should lay flat against the underside of the breast and not dig in at either end of the wire (armpit/sternum) or at the center. If I remember correctly, when the cup size is too big, the wires will dig in at either the armpit or (less often) the sternum. If the band size is too small, it stretches the wire ends outward, and the underside of the curve will dig in beneath the breast tissue.When the center gore between the cups is too narrow, that is usually what causes the wires to dig in at the sternum.Quote:

Keep it as close to parallel to the floor as possible, and make it snug. Round up to the nearest even number. So if you measure 41, for example, round up to 42. IN the trade, that is referred to as the "overbust" measurement, but that is your band size. For cup sizing, measure as normal, across the fullest part of the breast, while wearing your best-fitting bra. The difference between this measurement and the band size will determine the cup, allowing one inch for each letter, starting at A. Here, again, round up to the nearest whole inch.
For years, following the GG method of measuring, I was wearing 38 B bras, and never could find one that didn't either dig in at the armpits, or chafe under my breasts. Even wireless bras tended to chafe my under bust. Measuring by the new method, I wear a 40A, and every one I bought fit wonderfully, except for Bali brand; they seem to be made with larger cups.
Alternatively, learn to make your own. (Which is what I have been doing for the past year or so.) After you've made a few, you can tell how to alte the cups and bands of ready-to-wear to fit your body perfectly.
WHen the bra fits right, it is far more comfortable, and often, you will find tyourself forgetting that you even have one on. (That can be dangerous, if you truly forget, and remove your suit jacket while at work.)
Love to wear the bra.
I have bras made by most every manufacturer. Bali, Warners, and Playtex are the favorites. Genie and Bali both make an great exercise bra as well
I like the feel of a well fitted bra, would wear it all day if i could. I buy mine in Primark (a UK store).
Nothing makes me feel as in touch with my feminine side as wearing a well fitted bra with my forms. It truly is like a big hug as others have said. I personally have found that post mastectomy bras are my favorite because they insure that all seams are covered up and the forms will stay where they are supposed to be throughout the day. Amoena makes some really nice styles. I wear their Nina bra with 40C forms nearly every day and have no discomfort at all. Anyone else use post mastectomy bras?
i hate wearing a bra
but sometimes you have to when fully fem
A love hug! And warm too....
sure... especially if it adds to the outfit... always like to see something upstairs when wearing a dress lol... I don't wear breast forms though... Victoria secret when I want to splurge
I like how it makes me feel like a real lady when I wear the rest of the clothes
Feels so good, and makes me feel girly!
Love it! I think a bra is one of the most feminine things you can wear. When I put it on a wave of softness washes over me.
Many times I've had to bit my tongue when my wife says "I need to take my bra off'. I wish she'd just pass it to me to put on.
I instinctively knew it was wrong to wear my sisters bra when I first put it on my chest, and also that I was a crossdresser forever (at age 14) since I almost feinted from the sensation (lace cups fit me perfectly).
When caught by my mother, she saw how that brassiere fit me when she made me strip in front of her and took my sisters lingerie .
She made me promise not to wear my sisters things so..............................
About two weeks later I got into my mothers lingerie drawer and found her bras were bigger , I discovered garterbelts ,stockings , and slips, and her that her pantiegirdles were the same size, so............
That is what I had on modeling in front of the mirror the next time I was caught ,so.............................
And how and why my mother got me my own first bra and pantygirdle and slip, yep my mother shopped for me to keep me out of hers and out of trouble .
And today I am wearing a 42C , I love it as much as 50 yrs ago , thanks mom
I love wearing a bra with my forms. Feels natural to me. I have a number of very comfortable ones that I like to wear, all mine are underwire so they can hold the forms better. Wearing a bra does make me feel feminine. At times I have worn one when drab and it felt wonderful to be wearing one. Kind of fun to adjust a strap when drab.
I sure would like know that feeling any time
Wearing a bra is the best feeling for me. I love the way the band hugs me and the straps feel on my sholders. The bra being noticed by others really excites me. So........let them wonder, I have never been questioned about why. I like having my breasts larger due to the support of my bra for all to see!
that sounds awesome, but where do i get a 48inch-chest AAAA bra?
I think wearing a bra is with my forms is the ultimate pleasure for me.
I used to hate wearing a bra because I could never get one that was comfortable enough to wear for any extended period of time. Well, after many years of experimenting, I finally did figure it out and I just love putting one on and can wear it, without issue, for as long as I wish. I wouldn't even begin to know how many bras I have bought and discarded before I got the right "combination"! I don't feel bad about this though because I have spoken to many women who also think that bra fitting is one of life's greatest mysteries!

Funny to find this thread at the top of the forum. I was coming back after a long hiatus to post the same thing!Quote:

They make compression shirts, called "thundershirts," to calm high strung dogs.

These last few years have been so stressful, as I assume it has been for most people. The compression of a bra plus the weight of my forms just does something that makes me feel better. More so than any other article of female clothing. I like sleeping with a bra and my forms and waking to feel them on me. It often saddens me to have to take them off and I wish I could wear them all of the time.
Hi Luvs: Joanie you are very insightful , I have seen the great relief some dogs get with the product called the thundershirt . And I once had experience with newborns , and often crying babies are wrapped in a warm blanket to keep them from thrashing their arms about. Their not quite totally developed nervous systems are toned down by that , and they rest easy with the reassurance of the confinement of their mothers womb. Since most CDs start with something of mothers at an early age , it follows that we are calmed down by a connection to our mothers . And bonus if per chance the first thing we experience is mothers bra that does the same thing as a thundershirt , it is so strong a dopamine response in our brains we are addicted profoundly. Not really much different as the first episodic response from a first heroin or methamphetamine dose . The addict is chasing the feeling again and it is never to be so intense again . The addict will increase the dosage to experience the same dopamine response so we as CDs go farther and add more womanly things . Maybe that explains why we continually do it it ,even when some of us "at first" felt so much guilt about it every time we did it . I have purged so many times in my life . Now I am retired divorced and have a dog for company and lots of bras panties slips girdles stockings heels and makeup , not to mention a cute knit dress and a Chanel pleated black wool skirt with and a ivory heavy silk blouse .
Pretty amazing to hear all the positive notes about wearing a bra, that is wonderful. I am usually saying to Erika that I can't wait to take my bra off so my girls can relax.
The hard part for me was to find out what size I was by manufacturer. A Playtex 44 was comfy but a Glamorise 44 was to tight.
I enjoy wearing a bra... it's getting the right fit I still struggle with. Always looking for tips and tricks
The comparison of a bra to a CDer with a Thunder Shirt (TM!) to a DOGGIE... is cracking me up!
so good!
if only we could make a parody commercial though it would be really weird!
Oh my. The "bra" talk. I have so many, most are comfortable but a few just look amazing, so I tolerate their misgivings. I have wire free, under wire, pull over sports bras, molded cup and soft cup. I have sizes that fit my bare male chest and ones that hold my breast forms tight in place. There are subtle colors and bright colors with lace and satin. I have a few that match panties but (as a GG will tell you) that is not necessary. I seriously love the winter for the extra layers. I wear a bra under my sweat shirts and sweaters out in drab & no one is the wiser. Needless to say, I do love to wear bras. I recently lost a bit of weight for health reasons. Before I lost the weight I filled a 40B and loved the feeling of filling it out. Now, the cup and strap is loose. A 38A or B just doesn't fit right. :-(
Shhhh... Don't be fooled. She loves bras too. We both have dozens. Don't tell PP I said this. She'll be upset with me. LOL.Quote:
