Read the description carefully - these are breast enhancers, not full breast forms. They're designed for women who want to look a little fuller, to add to their existing natural breasts. As described, they're intended for women who already have a C cup size in a 30-34 bust or a AA-B in a 30-36 bust. You'll find that the back of the form is concave to conform to an existing breast rather than fairly flat as on a full breast form.

They're advertised as adding "up to" a two cup sizes but as always that means under optimal conditions. So for a woman who is a 30AA they probably bump her up to a 30B. If your chest measurement is a more typical 36-40 you can probably expect these to fill an A cup at most.

with Kimberly - it looks like you have bought what are known as "chicken fillets" here as that is what they resemble. I have a set and they are useful for lifting what little spare flesh I have into a semblance of a cleavage, but they should be viewed as an add on rather than a substitute.

If you have any extra chest flesh they will help you get a nice cleavage using a wonderbra or some such garment. They are not designed to replace a breast, for this you need breast forms. Here are the ones I use - take your pick

I find these are quite usefull, and when used in combination with a padded bra give a good effect. Since I aim to blend in rather than stand out (difficult at 5'10" before heels) I am only looking to achieve a modest bust, and my chicken fillets work well, and are a lot cheaper than full forms.

The quickie answer to measuring yourself...

Your bra size is the same as your suit jacket, blazer or sport coat size. These are your chest size. The cup size is whatever you want it to be. Most breast form companies will tell you what size to get for your chest size to give you the cup size you want. Here's an example size chart, http://www.metromedicalonline.com/abcsizechart.html

I got my forms from http://www.metromedicalonline.com/maste ... ducts.html I may have paid a bit more, but honestly, I like their service; very friendly and very knowledgeable. There are obviously plenty of reputable and maybe less expensive places to shop.

Definitely check out your enhancers when they arrive, and keep other options in mind in case you decide to to spend a little more down the road. I've found TrueKare's forms to be of good quality and fairly affordable starting at $56 a pair for 36B. If your band size is 40 then you could achieve a 40B for $66.

do any of u girls buy a bra that is smaller than your measurements on purpose?i read some girls do to get more cleavage and a secure fit with the boobs.

No - I just go with what fits me.

The right fit is important for comfort, so go for the right size every time if you are going to wear it for more than half an hour. You want to be able to forget that you are wearing a bra at all, well I do, I just want to be relaxed and comfortable

Amen Paula! Being FT with my own breasts believe me there is nothing worse than an uncomfortable bra!

I remember the first time I wore a WonderBra Push-Em-Up bra. It was to the commitment ceremony and reception of a couple of friends. It was uncomfortable, the lacy was itchy, and I felt like I was going top "pop" out of it at any minute, especially if I leaned forward. When I finally left the reception after several hours I got to my car and took that bra off and never wore it again. I learned two things that night. First always hand wash a new bra before you wear it and secondly try any new style of bra at home for a few hours before you go outin it!

Trina you can do the trial an error thing and waste money doing it. I have done that and have wasted my share of money doing it.

If you can afford to do it, make that trip to NY and just go to a full service store and ask for help. It was the best thing I ever did. Get fitted and try them on. Take your enhancers along. To make it easier to do, go during the times when they are less busy like in the mornings in the middle of the week if you can do it. If they are busy ask if there is a better time for you to come back. If you get one hesitant to help just go to a different store. I have found most SA's are very helpful and open to helping us. I have shopped for bras both enfemme and in male mode.

IMHO and experience, the acceptance and attitudes of most other people begins with your acceptance of yourself and what you want to do.

Shop and enjoy.
