I had six boobs to return so it really was a big bag of 'em!
there's like 3 levels,
cutlets, three are soft little pads that are self adhesive or you wear them in your bra. They don't get very big. I'm 6'2 and am wearing these now and the bra is underfull.
breast forms, these are like for mastectomy replacements or trans women or crossdressing. They tend to have nipples. I'm a big girl and need 500 gram DD's to match my frame. These will slide into pockets in my bras or just be held into place by compression. They feel realistic in the bra! My new ones are getting here friday i can't wait I didn't want to return the other set but the matching bra didn't fit.
full chest plates, these go from like your neck to your waist and include your shoulders. These let you do advanced stuff like wear dresses that look like you have real boobs. I cannot imagine wearing one if these they look sooooo hot!
The third level does seem like it would get awful sweaty!
How do you decide the right size for you? Unless you're going for Drag, it seems like the range would go from "barely noticable so why bother" to "DAMN".
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, feel free to ignore me!
It's just personal preference. Some trans women get surgery, some don't do anything and are happy with that. And everything in between.
I'm told you are to wait almost 2 years after starting E to get implants, to give your breast tissue a chance to develop (you go through 2nd puberty when you take it).
Personally i want them to match my big frame, so the DD's will be for going out when I want to look feminine. When going to the gym i'm probably going to stick with the cutlets especially for doing laps the larger ones are heavy af and make you really warm. At home i sometimes just wear the bra with nothing in it but it's pads just to feel nice.
I don't mind the questions you've been quite respectful curiosity is great!
Well thank you for sharing! This has been very interesting.
