What Makes Good Breast?

I thought of using ballons at one time, but was worried that perhaps they might burst.
Although, I have forms I don't always use them and then I use a sponge. The round bath type with a contoured edge, cut in half.
The rounded part fits into the bottom of the cup and then bra helps the sponge to shape. There is no bounce, but when the sponge is de-presssed or touched, it gives rather than remaining solid.
I also think it give a pretty good look.

get the "punching bag" big balloons and fill it with just a moderate amount of water and it'll flatten against the chest. others have succeed with birdseeds in nylon sockings. eventually you'll want to move on to breast forms so you can worry about other things.

I'm too cheap to buy silicone forms (yet) and I started out using polyfill stuffing inside of knee high nylons. Now my usual bra stuffers are knee high nylons with uncooked rice inside.
The rice gives a better approximate weight, but I sometimes still use the polyfill ones if I'm wearing a strapless outfit and the rice forms are too heavy.

I think I used a lot of socks and stuff before I finally invested in forms. It's kind of funny (in a not funny way) because I don't really use them anymore.
I've heard the birdseed is a very popular substitute, but like Jadeanne says they can be heavy too. The water balloon idea is a bit scary.

I guess, when I started CDing as a kid, I surely tried socks or some other clothing to fill my mom's bra.
Now I am using ballons filled with water or condoms (two condoms per form, so they do not burst) filled with water. I know, that they don't look passing, but their bouncing feels so great. But they look quite ok, when I wear them under a tight T-Shirt or Top.
Beside this, when I want breast that look quite right, I use (really cheap) silicone breast enhancers in a padded bra. Breast size is quite small then (cup B I guess), but they are visible and the form is ok.
I will buy some real breast forms some day, but I will also continue with experiments.

I use a pair of forms I sculpted out of soft foam. I hollowed part of the inside to fit over my naturals.
I also have a pair of small silicone forms.
What I wear depends on which bra I'm wearing and how endowed I want to look. Manytimes, I just wear one of the bras that fit my natural breasts, and forgo the inserts.

About 12 years ago I started with self made foam forms, the shape was good but their weight wasn´t. 3 years ago I tested self made water polymer forms in clear plastic bags. 2 years ago I bought my first real silicone forms and at the moment have 3 pairs of them ( size 8 for E-cup, size 5 for C-cup,really small ones for A-cup) and 2 pairs of NUBRA self adhesives

I started out using birdseed in nylon hose, and this worked OK. Then I began playing guitar while dressed, and noticed that the birdseed did not look realistic under the weight of the strap.
I bought silicon "enhancers," for $35, and now I slip the birdseed packs behind the enhancers. I also have to use two to four strips of scotch tape to keep these forms from "wandering," or by the end of the evening, I end up with everything toward the middle.

beauty, surprisingly one has yet to pop while wearing them. I have however popped a few while taking them out (and filling them up

). I swear I have some well-used balloons almost a decade old now and not leaking!

Hi all,
One of the boundaries my wife and I agreed on 2 1/2 years ago was that I wouldn't use water balloons or other such fake boobs that could be messy. Because of that agreement, I have permission to wear anything of hers that I want to.
I was recently given a plastic grocery bag of stockings, not in packages, most of them worn but washed, from a GG my wife and I helped move to a smaller apartment. My wife doesn't want any and they are all thigh highs and some gartered stockings. If any fit, that's great, and the ones that don't might be a project to try putting one into another until I have at least one set of breast forms - by golly the price is right!
Just last night my loving, supporting wife asked if I would like to get breast forms, etc. and she told me I could buy a pair, so I will start looking soon.

I started with socks and when I bought my first few bras I bought the type that were mostly full coverage with a stiffness to get the shape smooth.
Sometimes I just rolled some nylons up and that is very soft and you can sleep well with them.
About 6 years ago I had some mad money and bought some silicone forms. It was nervous but fun to go in with a bra on under the shirt & ask to try some on (it was winter). The girl asked if I needed a bra & I said no, I have one on thanks

All they had was a D cup and that was fun to test but I wanted B so they ordered them. If I remember right, I wore them out under a coat, even stopped for a coke but my memory of the event is a bit fuzzy as I was sick at the time (home sick today too).
Now, like Jamie Ann, I buy full coverage seamless bras with underwire most of the time as they fit silicone forms very well and look great. Bali is a favorite. As I've written, I have some sport bras like Beauty that I picked up to wear either without forms or if I want a change.
I have found that bras cut to reveal cleavage, including demi bras are not so good with full forms (I prefer not to see them peek out most of the time). The shape can be wrong too. And the forms don't like the older "formed" bras I mentioned I bought early on very much.
It feels very comfortable to walk around with them. Sometimes I even jump up and down a bit to watch them move - after warming to body temp (takes a few min in the winter, brrr) they adhere some which make them even more natural feeling.
Mine are teardrop as most of the lower end ones are - I think I'd like to get some asymetrical triangles as a better shape. These are usually made for double mastectomy and can get expensive fast. The attachables have an appeal also but with the right bra the hassle may be too much.
Anyway, this has been way too long. The first resource I found is still the best - the Breast Form FAQ
http://www.blooberry.com/bformfaq/ by Blooberry is a must read.
Funny I bought these & not a wig. I still rationalize that this would be ok whereas a wig would probably freek my SO out more.

Hi Alexandra,
WOW!!!
That's amazing, but if anyone could do it. I think I'm responding to her now.

Hi Phylis Anne,
I too get attached to my forms (no pun intended). The longer I wear them the more natural they feel and they become almost a part of you.
That said, it can very much depend on what I wearing as to whether I put them in or use another means to fill my bra.
When I first measured for forms, I decieded on a C cup size. Only to later learn and after I'd brought them, that the male physique can make them appear oversized and I find this especially in something like a tight fitting jumper.
So next on my shopping agenda is to by a much smaller pair, possibly to fit an A cup.
There is nothing like a girl being versatile.

Girls,
For the last twenty years or so i have used baggie sandwich bags with water and hair conditioner. Hair conditions for color and rubber band for closure after tying them. But, They have stopped making them I have found a subsitute at a wharehouse food elatiler. I bout 6 packages of 50 s I will hav them for while until I can purchase form. this has worked well over the years only two accidents. My own fault for being to rough with them. ( yes I'm a breast abuser). They bounce and have nipples (rubber band) and are just about any size you want, I have 14 ounce breasts on now, makes me about a 36C. Most of the time I try for 10 or 9 ounces for a 36 B. Always with a underwire and a small piece of plastic cut from plastic container top for stability. I tape one corner of the bag on to the back for a more natural look. wish I had pictures to show, I think they look pretty realistic. And are really cheap. Kristen
