I recently got a bra that has slots for breastforms and I think it's really helped make my figure more feminine, so I'm pleased with it and it is reasonably comfortable so that is good. Wearing a cami or light tank top over it and under my other clothes helps to hide my undergarments or the very perky nipples of my forms.
Love it.Originally Posted by Lainie
I like them because it's a singularly feminine item. There's no male equivalent. Am I being too logical? I'm an engineer. I can't help it.
Bras are my absolute favorite, I go to Sears in town and I have a shopping hay day when it comes to bras. Working on getting some breast forms shortly ( ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED and I would prefer not to break the bank).
Cara, the cami hides everything? I have trouble with just my cozy bra.
Castle, search the sight, I posted the name of a great shop online, in Jersey and Vegas.
Less than 100.00 and free ship. Also lots of CD shopping sites have vids on sizing,care etc.
Be warned, you will not want to take them off, very addictive. And sooooo much fun.

If I wasn't a crossdresser, I wouldn't wear a bra. But since I AM a crossdresser, I might just as well!
I don't wear one to bed, but love the feel and look of a well fitting bra.
I can easily fill a 42C without help, but I have some size 9 forms that require at least a 44D.
I prefer the feeling of a bra without forms.
New member here. I have been a pantie wearer for a long time and am supported by my SO.
I recently started wearing bras and got two (Hanes Comfortflex fit and Vanity Fair 19060 style). My wife is not too glad about my wearing a bra so I wear it when she is not at home. I love the hug feeling but cant wear it to bed. Also, no breast forms for me please.
Would love suggestions for a 40 (or 42) A size bras please.
Love to all on this CD group.
Although a bra is generally considered a female item, it can be useful for a male to keep non-adjustable straps on a slip from falling off the shoulders
Tammie, I like my short (18") Vanity Fair Spin Slip because it is easier to tuck into womens pull-on pants than a mens A shirt, but the narrow, non-adjustable straps fall of my shoulders. I found that wearing a bra with adjustable straps helps, and I have gone "out" so attired wearing a plain white tee without discerning any reaction. The slip probably "hides" the bra, per your suggestion.
The bottom line appears to be that the bra and slip are a "team." The bra makes it less likely for narrow and non-adjustable straps to slip off shoulders, and the slip "hides" the bra.

I do, and while I like a nice, tight hug ... er, bra, I have to use a long-line front close because of my E cups.
This is very interesting, i have to try wearing a bra now
Candice,
You are the great leveler here.
The only one with a contra view on bras.
I read some of your replies and was surprised that only some acknowledged you or disagreed with you.
I felt you needed acknowledgement as you have given most of the practical reasons for not wearing a bra.
Power to you and I always watch your progress with interest.
Me, I like wearing a bra, if it is uncomfortable I can take it off, same applies with my hair, if it is too hot, an instant shorter hairstyle.
This thread just goes on and on doesn't it?
Verry interesting.... but not stupid at all.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
Wearing a bra...oh I Love it!! Prob favorite piece of my outfit. I just love to look down and see my breast sticking through my top. And i find them very comfy. I work midnites,and when i can sleep wearing my fav bra,i sleep un-interupted 6-7 hrs.without bra i toss n turn and wake every couple hours. To each their own but i just love my lovely lady lumps!!

Nice thought.
I've ben wearing bras for over 40 years purged and bought purged and bought. I always used if you can believe it water balloons to make the size right. I have a 42" bra size now and oredered a pair of forms. I thought 42c would be a great fit til I got them. Dn't get me wrong they are great. But if I were to go out people would be starign at me as my breasts come through the door before I do. I thought I had all the measurements correct and while I am dissapointed in the size I am thrilled with the effect and jiggle. I really would like some advice on this as I don't want to look like a Dolly Parton clone. I just want to be natural. I already fill a 34 C and I think the drugs Doc gave me along with th flomax are making them grow nicely. It's getting to the point of not being able to hide whats naturally occuring. So any advise you cold give e ladies would be greatly appreciated!! Oh and by the way I just love a good fittng bra! The lace and softness next to my skin. But again like what was stated before in this thread. I work from home and I work en femme but when quuitting time has come I can't wait to get out of the is contraption and float free and easy as they slide against my shirt!!
HI Luvs: I started wearing a brassiere (love that word) about 50yrs ago . I had a very pretty older woman (35yo) tell me (age 14) I needed to wear a bra since as she said "your breasts are bigger than mine" .
She was a small woman so maybe they were , I was humiliated and blushed . Soon afterwards I did pick up my older teen sisters bra off the floor and try it on , and oh my it fit like I was measured for it
It changed my life , and I was a crossdresser forever after. That bra was a black lacecup underwire size 36B , a Vassarette and I will never forget it . Also I have determined that if we stuffed our
mothers bra when we started , we wear forms now , if we filled our first bra up we just like wearing a bra that fits us in our dotage.
Now fast forward 50 yrs I still get the same electric charge when I slip my arms thru the straps and adjust my breasts into those underwired cups , the difference is I wear a 42C and being bigger I like
full coverage and full support bras now . My favs are Wacoal , Glamorize , and always wear a matching LLPG (at least matching color) and my favs there are Miraclesuit , Rago and Va Bien .
All make nude and black (all black is the same) and in several weights , I prefer the extra firm styles
Then I wear a slip over them to make the bra and my breasts not quite so noticeable , and often stockings too . It is not quite perfect without my heels ,and sometimes I wear long women's jeans to
cover my heels , I just have to try to not make the tell tale heels clicking on the pavement, it causes people to look and stare even tho I am not wearing makeup most days .
When they do look , just hold your head up and smile , and keep going . I had a man tell me once (you have breasts like a woman).
as men age we become more feminine and less manly, so why not embrace it and wear the clothes that make us happy for me that is a brassiere panties girdles stockings slips and heels .
I wish I had the courage to wear a skirt and blouse every day , but I usually wimp out and wear a shirt and pants over my lingerie.
Recently discovered Genie bras. Great fit and reasonably priced. Good choice for everyday wear and exercise.
I can't believe its taken me this long to post a reply on wearing a bra ,after years of buying trying and throwing away countless perfectly good bras ,I am now a happy bunny with a range of bras that really fit me well and I can wear all day without discomfort , plus they do a huge range of matching knickers !
who are these gods of lingerie I hear you ask ? . triumph a fabulous range ,but a bit pricey well worth it in my opinion .Katie x.
A bra is a mysterious piece of clothing and the power it yields is almost intoxicating. In guy mode, seeing a lady in her bra and panties is very erotic, especially if they match. It's kind of like everyday lingerie and what men see most often. The reality is that a bra is just a harness. It's not really designed to be pretty although lace and color can jazz it up.
While I wore bras before I had breast forms, I think the defining moment when I really decided that I was into cross dressing 100% was when I had my first 38c bra and breast forms. I just loved closing it tight around my chest and and adjusting the straps. Wearing a blouse and having it look like I had breasts was awesome.
I now have over 50 bras. Lace bras, plain everyday bras, a strapless bra, 2 racer back bras, front close and the traditional rear close. And it's all good. Wearing even just a plain everyday bra all day long and feeling it stretch and mold to my body is a very feminizing experience. My bras usually have matching panties and I plan my outfits around the bra/panty combo. Sometimes they don't match. It's just random and that's feminine too. Bra straps that show and wearing a black bra with a white top is pretty, sexy and feminine all at the same time. What's great is that women don't necessarily to that to attract attention. It's just an everyday thing for them.
At the end of the day, I love taking my bra off by reaching behind my back and taking it off before I take off my shirt. Just a girly thing to do. I'm looking forward to the day when I can put one on that way. too.

Just took my bra off, its a relief to just relax after being confined for over 12 hours. after wearing almost daily since I was eleven, and gone from trainnig bra's to a 34C I wear a bra only when I have to.

Katie, I have a couple Triumph bras. They are a great fitting bra. They aren't carried many places in the USA.
you have said it all
Jamey
As others have said I kind of liken it to a soft hug all day long
.....often reminds me of when I was 12 years old trying on my 18 year old sister's bra. I swear I was in Heaven!!!
Love,
