    So if your not started on hormones & have nothing to put in a cup do you still wear a bra?
    I didn't for the longest time. Didn't see the point in it. I did have a couple with a set of enhancers when I wanted to get the right look.
    Than a couple of months ago I started wearing one almost daily because my clothes fit better with something up there.
    Now I don't feel dressed without one. Since it's winter I don't have to take it off to go shopping or to run other errands.
    But now that it's getting warmer what do I do?

    Hiya Karen, Sometimes I do, sometimes I dont. I always had to wear a bra when I used fillets but now as my chest is slightly bigger but not big enough to actually need to wear a bar its all down to "if i can be bothered!" lol

    Sometimes I quite like the feel of being braless

    Love Penny

    I was on H R T for a brief period . However , I was found to have some old ailments from my drug and alcohol days years ago. This has had some serious effect on my body , even today. Hence , I still wear a bra , I use enhancers and I do with what I have . ellen

    I wear a bra and breast forms. I feel more confident plus I like nice underwear, (who dosen't) and you can by some really pretty bra & knicker sets.

    What's kinda funny is that when I didn't have breasts, I wanted to wear bras...now that I have them, I don't wear them often...they look really nice poking out from a tight knit top au natural!  (smile)

    I usually wear one but, as Traci said, it's sometimes nice to go without one with the right dress or top.

    I wear them if the clothes require it - but being very small, I certainly don't need the "support". LOL


    Sewing small breast pads in most of my outfits means I don't need a bra very often. I like my tiny boobies!

    I like to go out Running , and found recently that I needed to wear a sports bra  ,otherwise it got a bit  uncomfortable. Interestingly I found that my running style is changing making the run less bumpy and smoother . I guess I am compensating .  It seems to vary though somtimes I will wear a bra if they feel sensitvive , othertimes a nice soft camisole feels just right . its not a major support activity for me at present

    I like to wear a bra on days when I put effort into passing. I like to use a push up bra because it creates a good proportionate size for me. I used to use "booby squishies" (silicone enhancer inserts) but all they do is fill the bra, they don't really make a flat chest look any bigger. On days I don't put much effort into my appearance or when I'm going to a place that might not accept a trans girl I tend to go for androgenous so I don't try to achieve the illusion of boobs.
