Getting my collection started again got a question

[RylieM]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but its been a really long time since I last had anything and to be honest it was my sisters clothes and not mine so im gonna get some things wanting to start out with silicone forms I used balled up socks back then and im looking for some insight. I live life on a strict budget so im aiming cheep but I want as close to the real thing as I can go. Im aiming at a b or c at the most im a big person @ 5' 11" 220lb approx and a 44" band size i've measured 3 times to be sure. Unfortunately I haven't found much in that size bra wise on the cheep 44b isn't a commonly made size I guess.

My question for you guys/ladies is have you ever bought and used eaither of these brands of forms http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013PU ... 16KU4VLTVW" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XIGYHAM/ref ... ZUGT6ECRKG" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And do you think atleast for now a bra like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVM ... EE2HIYSOA0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; would hold em up im only planning to wear this stuff around the house at least for now I am considering also getting some medical glue so I could wear the forms without a bra if i wanted and even when i wear a bra they maybe act a bit more real. Some time down the road ill expand quite a bit but I think this is how I would like to start.

I am under the impression that most bras should work just fine but for the best chances of no accidents happening a mastectomy bra would be best or a combo of tape/glue with a bra.

Its because of my desire to start dressing up again I am activly trying to loose some weight I use to be only 150 lbs but that was back when I was in the service.

I noticed one of the sets of breast forms you were looking at were from Janet's Closet. If I were you would go to her website and read the information there on breast forms. If you still have questions I have had really good luck with contacting them by email and having questions answered. I also know there have been some who have called them on the phone and were pleased with the help they got. There are a couple of other websites I am sure some others can direct you to with information about breast forms.

I usually wear my forms with a full coverage bra with under wires. It depends on what you are wearing also what bra you might choose to wear. I am sure there will be some others who will chime in here with there thoughts. That's one of the great things about being here there are some many willing to share their experiences and everyone has tried different places.

Good Luck

Thind might help understand my goals right now I want to wear just my reg tshirts over his for now I may expand into some nice blouses or maybe a simple dress or 2 down the line. I also plan on wearing them outside for a smoke or something (as long as its winter and/or nighttime) and when im sleeping. at most id wear the forms to a local store with my usual bulky jacket hence the bcup for 10 bucks more I could go c and someday I will buy those as well. I dont want it to be to noticable unless someone catches me without a jacket but I want to feel like somethings there otherwise Id just go with A cup forms or just use the rice/birdseed in nylons like ive recently read about im 2-3 weeks from being able to afford the forms.

Amerimark I think is an old brand but not exceptional. Actually the stuff looks rather frumpy. That's not to say frumpy is bad in a comfy nightgown or a bra that hold the girls nicely.

I haven't heard of the Envy girls before. Amazon didn't say if that price is for one or two. Also, I didn't try very hard, but a size chart is requried and I didn't find it on Amazon; that doesn't sit well with me. Did you notice there was only one review; do you want to be the second buyer (and you're probably not really)? Since you're a big girl, have you looked into http://www.hanes.com/justmysize and http://www.womanwithin.com/?


I concur with Sarah. You need to check out Janet's closet for sizing info and if you haven't done it yet, the shape of the girls you want. Somewhere in this forum is a whole other thread on silcone. Another band that comes up frequently is Nearly me.

[RylieM]

Ive actully altered my chose for forms planning to get my first set off of ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Breast ... c8hxO3lPiA" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; much cheeper and self adhering. Size wise its a bit of a crap shoot with the ebay chose but the amazon ones actually give you a good estimate if you look the janes i picked are listed as 38DD/40D/42C so if that right @ 44 inch band on me the would be around a b cup altho I have what i think would be a very small a cup naturally. I was pointed to those off another cd/tg forum I asked on its a bit questionable if I by the b cup would it really be a b cup on me if its not I could grab some cheaper pads and fill out a bra just fine and then ofc those are self adhering so no bra needed!

[RylieM]

Any tips btw on how i should maintain these when I get em particular the self adhesive part? I should def shave my chest where they'll sit correct? Im new to this level like ive said in a few posts ive only stuffed a bra with socks in the past.

[Davita]

The girls better come with instructions for cleaning/maintaining them as well as the adhesive. BTW, hopefully someone is going to jump in and tell you of the cost effective adhesives to use. Again, there is a thread about adhesives in these forum threads somewhere.

As for the chest hairs? It depends on how hairy you are as to whether the hair will interfere, but the bottom line is do you want to be pulling out hair around your nipples when you take off the girls? (hint -- NO!)

I'm figuring they do but like many things I find there's better products you can use ext i'm most worried about the self adhering part and maintaining it. As far as chest hairs ive never shaven it before there's a lot of it but very light in thickness. I do realize if I use a glue then yes I have to but what don't know is the makeup of w/e is used to make them self adhering right now since its winter I can get away with shaving my pack area at least without any questions but come summer I go swimming with my mom a lot and a few other family members I don't want them to be asking to many questions.

Later on down the road Ill save my pennies to get a better quality set but right now I wantr something to fill out a bra and I want it to be as close to the real thing as I can get.

God that feels soooo weird just took my clippers to knock down the bush i called me chest/belly hair the ran my single blade older razor i prefer due to not paying 20 bucks just for 4 friggin blades and finished with my gillette mach turbo just to really clean my chest up. I think i'm going to invest in a nice womans razor next time I have the money I had alot of chest hair but its on the light side since like ive said ive never ever shaved it before. Gonna have fun explaining that to my mom when we go swimming next summer. In 36hrs i order my girls think i might give em nicknames lol I hope I end up having around a b cup that parts gonna be sooo weird but I think it will help me decide how far I go.

Rylie,

Big girls like yourself need larger forms to look proportional. IMHO, B cups will look much too small. D size would not draw as much attention as being 5' 11". You're dressing mainly at home right now, buy for the future.

My husband experimented with glueing on her forms. It wasn't the wonderful female experience she anticipated as the weight of the forms just hang on your skin. not attached internally like natural breast tissue. Smaller forms are more comfortable when glued on. Always shave! The adhesive will find the spots you've missed. She used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, available in most hardware stores. Clean up with Goo Gone and buy more of that than you think you need.

A nice fitting bra will feel better and still allow for natural movement. Husband and I are both big breasted women. We prefer the seamless cup styles from Glamorise or Playtex. Watch for catalog sales!

Thanks for the tip! I was already planning to buy slightly bigger its not much more money and I am aware the larger you get the smaller breast cups get/seem. Heres the info on the forms i'm looking at i'm probably going to buy the c's going off of the cc's that's slightly more volume the the forms that advertise putting me at a b cup but not as much at a c Ill have 60 bucks come tomorrow morning to buy forms and when they come in buy my first bra probably buy more than 1 that day that whole check (I know is not much) goes into this. Because of my heavier weight I do have smallish "man boobs" i actually just did a check (again) and according to a bra fitting chart i'm naturally a small b lol.

A 500g 16x11x5cm

B 600g 16x11x5.5cm

C 800g 16x11x6cm

D 1000g 16x11x6.5cm

E 1200g 16x12x7.5cm

Oh wanna note this for the first time in 15 years im actively trying to loose weight I went into the army at 220lbs after basic i had dropped a incredible 70 lbs had the whole 6 pack showing ripped arms/legs. I don't want to go that far again after all I "may" start transitioning someday soonish I don't know and if I do I want to look more feminine and ladies don't usually have bulging biceps/6 packs usually so just aiming to get to a healthy weight around 170-180 and a flat stomach right now I look like im pregnant its been a running joke in my family at times. Thats one of the reasons im going so small that and as a hetrosexual big breasts dont do anything more for me If I did transition then Id only want at most a c cup.

[RylieM]

Order placed via the ebay link I posted should have them thursday/friday still got 30 bucks on my card to buy my first bra.

[Eileen (SO)]

1st bra Rylie? What were you putting the rice/birdseed in? You can buy sale bras on-line to get an idea of preferred cup size before buying forms.
At least you seem to have found a bargain anyway. Enjoy the girls.

Actually I haven't been in 16 years they were filled with socks not many resources like this for a 14 yr old kid growing up in a small town without internet access. My father didn't get a computer till i was 17 around 97-98 and I didn't know how to even turn it on then didn't learn really until I went into the army. First time I tried to use the net thinking back was really funny I couldn't even find a search engine nor use one. Consider now a days I can rip one apart blindfolded and reassemble it or jump on a virus infected rig and clean it out without use of the net or many tools today. And i'm calling it my first because before they were all my sisters and not mine. The plan was to buy a bra w/forms that matched my goal at first but 80+ bucks is hard for me to get my hands on spend on something like this and not eat. But I got real lucky this week my mothers given me now 125 bucks a old lady I work for sometimes paid me 50 and I did my usual dishwashing job on saturday for another 65 so I have enough to pay my brother some long due rent money eat and get myself a pair of forms w/underwear + pick up a few other odds and ends.

Side note: I doubt many if any here would question my judgement on finally doing this again but just incase so you know my living situations have not been the best over the years. After basic and ait I moved back home to my parents house I was in the national guard not active duty were I stayed for another 10 years. Then I temporarily moved in with my sister living in a apartment she rented out to student at a local collage my first roommates and her would've likely been cool with it but I don't know for sure. They were a lesbian couple living together and my sisters own ex husband transitioned but the next one I had no way he woulda been I know that for sure and no way to hide this living in that apartment. 6-7 months later my sister lost the house to foreclosure she wont admit it but we all know it was a drug problem that cost her the house (shes come clean with us only with the past 2 ish yrs and is now off cocaine thank god). I moved back to my parents house living in my childhood bedroom there is no way I could of been walking around even in a bra and panties without my father catching me. Now as of 3 moths ago I moved into my brothers finished basement apartment and I feel comfortable enough that I could put a dress on and wear a wig/makeup without being seen. Sure It might happen but the odds are slimmer he doesn't come down here without announcing himself and hes pretty open minded himself and so is his fiancee.

I'm doing this partly as a first step to transitioning I'm not sure if that what I need to do i've always felt like I should of been born a woman i've actually cried myself to sleep on a number occasions and have been suicidal over it (dont worry ive got a handle on that now + as long ans my mother breathes I could no more cut another person then cut myself). I wont go so far as claiming ive got gd id rather a medical professional make that call just underdressing might help fix me enough that I don't have to start getting hrt but its NOT off the table. Wow ok this post went from a shorish reply to a mini back story im done with it.
