Now I've got boobs.

[Arindam]

The first of my 15 online purchases of bras, breast forms, inserts, tank tops, and jumper suits arrived today. Today's arrival was pair of 800 gram, C cup, silicone inserts and a pocket bra, which looked pretty skimpy compared to the XXXL sports bra I bought at Walmart, which --I discovered, once I was home with it-- was also a pocket bra. So I swapped in the inserts and slipped on the sports bra.

Instantly, I knew this was for me and that I should have been doing this decades ago. The inserts felt as real as any boobs I've ever had my hands on, and I loved their weight and bulk against my chest. Predictably --given the weight and size of the inserts-- I didn't have the straps adjusted correctly. But I also knew there was going to be a learning curve.

Next, I hopped on my stationary bike and pedaled my daily miles. In fact, the experience was so erotic, as my hands kept squeezing my boobs and caressing my nipples, that I didn't want to get off. Most turned-on workout I've ever done. When --not "if"-- I do go out in public wearing them, what's going to give me way as a 'dresser won't be my profile, but me trying to cop a quick feel.

The next several weeks, as the packages arrive, are going to be fun.

Well, you are well on your way to living the dream, maybe emulating Dollie or even becoming your own persona.
I suggest you be the best you can be while presenting your feminine side.
There are a lot of people, like yourself, who might look to you as a role model as the see you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Go forth and enjoy this new you as if you made a New Years resolution to be totally feminine.
Agreed, today's social climate is a lot more accepting...

Foam forms are nothing like silicone.

Amazon is a good place to get cheap forms. You can archive your order so it doesn't appear on the usual list of purchases.
Nothing is more ubiquitous than an Amazon box. Just make sure it is actually sold by Amazon and not a third party.
Any time I've order something like forms they have offered to ship it to a nearby drop box for pickup.

I'd avoid ebay due to shipping issues. Forms are not something you want accidentally delivered to a neighbor.
The packaging may not be discreet.

I found very affordable silicone forms on glamourboutique.com. They carry very expensive stuff but I found some for ~$30 that I've been really happy with.

Boobs fun to say fun to wear, Congrats you are going full speed ahead. My first time I went to a bra specialty store. The owner Margy helped me try on a few types of bras and styles and fit them. I was only interested in a bra but she offered for me to try breast forms to see how the bra fits and feels. Margy specializes in helping mastectomy patients. She recommended 38 B for my size and height, I am 5'9" slender. She put some forms in a bra and put them on me and adjusted the straps. That was it, felt and looked amazing I walked out with 2 bras and the forms. It was an amazing experience and Margy was so interested and understanding and spent time to educate me on bra types. Like a class on braology HA! I bought my first wig from her too. I have since bought a pair from TheBeastFormStore.com. I looked at several sites and it took me a long time to figure out sizing, it still is confusing but finally settled on Gold seal Classic 1 1/2 size 4. They work well with my 38 B bra and seem like a good size for my body type and size.

I'd disagree about eBay having shipping issues. There?s never been a problem with the order not arriving in the time frame that was promised and to my house, not a neighbor's. For sure, sometimes the mail carrier leaves a letter meant for me at their house. But the next day, they walk it over. I can't imagine they wouldn't do the same for a misdelivered package, and in these days of gray, plastic shipping envelopes, the anonymity of the contents is assured.

Where it makes huge sense to buy from eBay instead of Amazon is when the item costs less than $25 and doesn't qualify for free shipping if you aren't a Prime member.

I started having wildly fluctuating weight changes from age 8 on; with it, came 'boy boobs', which never went away, even when I lost the excess weight. A teen age boy with girl breasts is NOTHING to enjoy; the ridicule in the locker rooms, beach and pools was almost a constant problem, to the point where I pretty much always wore a shirt when I went swimming, using the excuse that my skin burned very easily. Liking slender women, one mentioned (not in an admiring way, either) that my boobs were bigger than hers.
So it's a mixed blessing. Good for crossdressing, not so good for a 'regular' guy in public.

[ShelbyDawn]

Boobs are indeed a wonderful thing.
Next step is to glue them in place and feel the way they tug at your chest and move with you...Oh yes. it can get better.

[Wendy-Lyn]

I did find this interesting, as I'm considering purchasing a set of forms myself.

I have a pair of 'chicken-wing' enhancers, and a set I made from panty-hose feet filled with bird-seed, but I want something that both looks and feels more realistic. I don't have a lot of money to splash about, and I want to make sure I get ones which will not look out of proportion on me. I have absolutely no idea of how to work this out myself, and there seem to be several different designs, which I'm trying to get my head around. I don't get off on having a huge set like some seem to do - I just want what an 'average' woman of my build would have.

To be perfectly honest, I'd be over the moon if I could 'growaset' of my own, as they say, or get implants fitted, but at this point in time that's probably a bridge too far.

@ Arindam - I know only too well what you mean about copping a quick feel - I find myself doing that a lot when I'm driving with my forms in. :P

[docrobbysherry]

It's fun moving up the CD ladder isn't it, Arindam? Next thing to try is breast plates! The rite ones not only feel real? They look real!

And, u can go topless!

[Arindam]

It's fun moving up the CD ladder isn't it, Arindam? Next thing to try is breast plates!

Two breast plates will be arriving on my doorstep shortly, along with a couple of really cute tank tanks intended to show cleavage. The breast plates are high neck, rather than round neck and low collar ones, which I'm also shopping for. But as you say, one step at a time on the CD ladder.

There's a lot to learn, e.g., how to position the inserts so they look anatomically correct. But my new boobs are feeling really, really familiar, as if they were always a part of me. I just wish this kind of equipment had been available when I was a teenager and struggling with my sexual identity. That... and parents who weren't so militantly, inflexibly homophobic, never mind there also being a tolerant general culture.

Oh, well. Better late than never.

Wendy,

As the "new kid on the block", I'm the last person in this forum who should be offering you advice about buying breast forms. But I'm a decent researcher, and from what I can tell, trying to mold your own will be more hassle and expense than just buying an off-the-shelf set. Using the rice-in-pantyhose trick won't be very satisfactory, either. What you're going to be happiest with is silicone-filled --not cotton stuffing-- and a pocket bra. As for shape and cup size, make a guess. That's what Mother Nature would have done to you, and there are endless YouTube videos on how to use makeup and pushup bras to enhance from there.

Suggestion: Probably the best prices are going to be found on Amazon or eBay. But don't buy the first thing you see. Create 'wish lists', because prices and availability are constantly changing. Also, if you find a set on eBay you think you might like to buy, put it on a Wish List and wait to see if the seller makes a direct offer to you at a lower price. That's happened to me several times. Also, don't hesitate to make low-ball bids. Often enough, you'll get the item.

I use water balloons for my boobs. I have a pair I use in a C cup bra that feel exquisite. Today I received a D cup bra I had ordered. Right now I have the same water balloon boobs in it. However, I'm about to go fill a couple more balloons a bit fuller so there is more to them. I do love the soft feel of these falsies almost as much as the soft feel of my wife's natural DD cup boobs. I'd love to snuggle up with her boobs to boobs; but, that just isn't ever going to happen.

[Jenn A116]

Agree with this! Glue them on, then wear a bra for about 15 minutes just to be sure they are firmly attached. Then take off the bra and put a loose top on. Awesome!

[Erin Lafleur]

Oh, most definitely! I received my new sleep-able and glue-able boobs just before New Year's and have been dying to give them a try. I've got my 3M Super 77 spray on adhesive (highly recommended on an previously archived boob gluing discussion), my GooGone etc so I'm almost ready to go! I've also recently purchased a couple of loose fitting satin cami's that I really hope will work well braless. It's a look that I have been dying to try for years so I'm really looking forward to it. I think it must be an incredible feeling to feel as though my breasts are a part of me!
Again ladies, if you have any helpful hints regarding the process, I'd love to benefit from your experience!

[Linda K.]

The thing I like about the boobs is when I put them on is they are kind of cold to the touch, thank God for that pocket lining. But when I wear them for hours my body temperature warms them up and they become a bit softer to the touch and feel even more real! I also love the view when I look down!

[NancySue]

Congratulations. Nothing like them.

[alwayshave]

Arindam, Congratulations on receiving your forms.

[Mermaiden]

Everyone looks better with boobs. Could be a law of thermodynamics.

[Connie D50]

Next purchase if you have not already has to be yoga pants and top, makes working out fun for me. .

[CynthiaD]

Congratulations! May your female appearance grow and grow.

[Beverley Sims]

C size boobs can be fun but I find smaller boobs to be more subtle and do get a look often.

Yes a slim figure does help.

[Sandi Beech]

Arindam,

Next thing you know you will have a collection of them. I think I bought 8 but cut it down to 5. Sometimes it is nice to have different types and sizes depending on what you want to wear. It is kind of addictive.

[ziggie]

Congratulations on your purchases. I have never been too much into bras but recently have got the bug. I have a couple of padded bras that add a nice shape under a sweater but, of course, they do not add much in the sensation department. I ordered a set of inexpensive breast forms today just to see what they are like and, if I like the look, I'll probably spring for a set of silicone forms for a better shape and feel.I can appreciate how the added weight would really enhance the experience.

[Breanna1975]

My boobs will arrive Saturday and today my new wig arrived!! Super excited!!
