If you have ever posted about diy breast forms, or if you have ever trolled the internet and forums looking for ways to make your own silicone breast forms at home only to have found recipes including any variation of: bird seed, condoms, balloons, silica crystals, or gelatin, then this post is for you!
Despite starting to Cd only in february of this year I moved quick, and by march I had my first silicone breast forms(I bought 2 pairs offf craigslist, a very small size and a pretty large size since they were all the guy had) and experimented with 2 other sizes and types since then, as well as experimented with the suggested diy breast forms but what I was wanting wasnt really obtainable this way. One day I ran across the expensive breast forms that run between $250-1000 and it clicked. Those were what I wanted, some of them at least.
I wanted breast forms that you could blend into your skin better, and that werent shiny and covered in that plastic feeling cover thats on the sub $250 ones, and could still move realistically.
I searched all over, and I ran into the pullover vest types on alibaba, the tapered blend in customized ones on other sites, and so on but i couldnt justify spending that much money on something so fragile. Especially since most of them would still forgo one of the things i wanted in a breast form. either theyd be durable and would blend in but look bad, or look good and blend in but rip easily and be $750, and i only had one option left:
figure out how to make them myself
I had most of the process figured out,(including my self imposed requirements for them that i mentioned above) but i was missing a couple key parts. Finally, I have found every thing you would need to make them, as well as how to make them. It cost about the price of one good set of breast forms to get all the supplies but in return you can make 2 custom made pairs however you like
The Ingredients:
-platinum silicone(its a grade of silicone, not a brand) but it needs to be one of the very soft kind. however, when the silicone is that soft it becomes tacky and stays that way(exactly like the ones with the plastic covers on them, which you would know if you have ever gotten a rip or tear in a breast form and touched the inside.) The only kind I have run across so far is called platsil 00. you can find it on google easily.
-silicone deadener/softener, this stuff makes silicone feel skinlike(somewhat stretchy but retains shape for one example)
-pigment, your color fir the silicone,
-silicone encapsulator... this is the nig one. This stuff does what the title implies, it will encapsulate silicone very thinly but its also very strong.
Once you have the parts you just made your mold from clay and either your hands, a breast form, or a breast. Then you spray some silicone release in the mold and put your silicone in. after that youll have your breast form but it will be sticky. Thats where this encapsulator comes in,m which you use to encapsulate the breast form obviously. After that(for me at least), take some more silicone or liquid latex and mix pigment until it matched your skin. Then encapsulate the encapsulator. as it is more than halfway through drying put some baby powder or talcum powder on it so it comes out matte instead of glossy. you can even use pigment to color the nipple accordingly.
That is the gist of how to make a breast form, not including the different ways of doing it, like the vest, or chest piece, or a pair, etc. Thats the easy part though I think.
I know this is a kinda shoddy guide but i hope it helps and good luck.
If you have any ideas or criticisms please get free to share them, I very much appreciate constructive criticism and bouncing ideas around.
