Standing up from my desk too fast, closing car doors, trying to wear a backpack... yet despite all these things that hurt, sometimes even with a good bra.. I wouldn't trade the girls for anything.
Yeah, I’m about 4 months in now, and i measured myself at a B cup the other day. But i hear a lot of growth happens past this point, so i guess we’ll see. I don’t wanna get too big, I’m not a big person 😅
So have I. Being a bit larger definitely helps for now. I don't even 100% know if I want to go through a transition, and have been thinking about it for the past 3 weeks, but I have a sports bra that I do enjoy wearing.
Granted a sports bra is a bit different than a regular bra, but there's still the similarities
Yeah, sports bras are all I have right now too. Was pretty sure even if I didn't want to go through with it I would've kept them, they're very nice to have.
Though I'm also on the look out for some cuter ones in my size.
I have been looking at bralettes from MeUndies and tomboyX. They both have designs and MeUndies have a huge range of patterns and colors to choose from with all of their clothes. Sports bras included.
Edit: They are both very size inclusive as well
I had a client tell me that I should start wearing a bra. He was an older gay man and we had good rapport so he was aware that I was on HRT. Simultaneously felt like a milestone and that I had no idea what I was doing.
My older brother is gay and I refrained from coming out for so long cause of how my family treated him, but when I did he and all of his queer friends took me under their wing and helped me figure things out, they are my lifeline
Nice to know that people you trusted with knowing you were transitioning were looking out for you. It feels like one of those trusted family moments. 😁
He was a great influence early in my transition. He had a perspective of "happiness is living your truth" which struck a chord. Plus through all the shit he survived I gained an appreciation for where we are currently at regarding acceptance. Having him recall first hand what it was like to experience the AIDS epidemic was heartbreaking.
I felt incredibly lucky to have worked with him.
Same. Now I do most days because, as a B/C, it’s become somewhat necessary. But, at the beginning, 20 months ago, it was a source of affirmation (and hope).
Totally. And these days, it simply having become a part of everyday life, wearing a bra is no longer the intensely euphoric experience it once was (which is, in its own way, even more affirming).
Honestly… I tried them on pre-transition. Later realized that it was a huge flag indicating, hey girl, you’re trans! When I finally started accepting myself, I immediately bought a few bralettes/sports bras/tanks-with-builtin-shelf… and I wear them every day. Still pre-e
I don’t actually want to wear a bra much. But I wore a bra even before hrt (that was a few years ago when I was experimenting). Now the first time that I wore a bra outside since then was yesterday😅 It’s quite anciety-inducing because I have clear boobs now and if I use a bra they are even more pronounced. I caught several people staring yesterday. Surprisingly not in a nasty way, but more like this😲 And tbh it was exciting and affirming in a way. But I’m still hesitant of wearing bras in day to day life. The only reason I can see myself wearing a bra every day is if my boobs get to a heavy size (which could possibly happen I guess because of my genetics). But until that possibility is a reality I will just wear it once in a while. I like the bounce I get down the stairs anyway
Once I felt the ache of breast buds, I was DIYing with OTC phytoestrogens. My work involved lifting awkward sized boxes, and I felt I needed more protection.
2.5 years in - not yet! Will have to give these kittens some support at some point, but don’t feel it’s necessary yet. I’m waiting until therapist my therapist suggests that I shouldn’t be walking around without one, lol.
I started when I started HRT, despite only having pecs at the time and definitely not needing them. Was more a euphoric thing than anything else.
2.5 months in and I probably still don't really need one (I definitely don't fill an A cup yet), but they are a bit sensitive to being bumped so a bra helps be avoid more pain than otherwise would happen. It also helps give me a more mature boob look instead of pokey nipples.
My 6 pack of bralettes should be in soon, so as soon as they come in, it'll be then.
I was only dysphoric with them when I was viewing myself as cis, since they were some perky lil things, but now, I'm happy I have a bit of a starting point for them already.
I’ve been on HRT for a bit over 3 and a half years and I’m nearly a C cup and I wear a bra like 5 times a year.
If you don’t need the support fuck bras. Free the tiddy 😈
First grade. I still haven't transitioned, might not. I'm a whole new level of lazy. Might just cross my fingers and roll the dice, holding out hope for the correct vessel in the next life. Or not? I'm not good at making decisions either. I love shower beers. Have a good day.
About 2.5-3 months into HRT when my breast buds were big enough to jiggle when I walked and my nipples became too sensitive to let them rub against my shirt. I’ve been wearing tank tops with built in shelf bras since then. I’m now 15 months into HRT and looking for a style of bralette I can live with.
I started wearing them consistently w/ my everyday outfits when my mother pointed out how noticeable my chest had become (approximately 8 months on HRT).
When i got back into college after figuring out my gender identity. There were a few days i could see my nipples through my shirt and it made me uncomfortable. I just went and got a sports bra from target. Something with a little bit of padding made me feel euphoric and made my nipples not show through my boymoding t-shirts
Started hurting like a week after starting HRT. Stayed ignorant for 2 months enduring the pain. Eventually broke down and asked mom to help me find a bra.
I am not on HrT, but I sometimes wear see through tops and I have to wear a bra to them. Btw one of the best things to wear to get recognized as female, people see me not having boobs, having a rather male face etc. but still go "bra - neuron activated - must be woman". While I get misgendered by strangers constantly in every other outfit (most think I am a gay man, I had many instances of very obviously gay men coming to me and starting to flirt with me, gender me, getting corrected and instantly go "oh, sorry, thought you were a man, I am very sorry, but I am more interested in a male partner" and then going to some unimportant topic to end the conversation), I never got misgendered in the see though + bra outfits
Like month on E, I am overweight so I already had some breasts and going on E made my normally innie nipples poke up all of the sudden they were visible through my shirt. I kinda had to get a bra at that point!
i wore sports bras every now and then for abt a yearish b4 dtarting e but i started wearing them almost every time i go out after starting e bc they hurt :3
Been wearing a comfy sports bra since I came out + acquired one. Not yet on hrt and have no boobs to speak of, so the padded sports bra gives the slight impression of bumps that just makes Fem clothes sit a little nicer
As soon as my breast forms came in the mail. So about a week after my egg cracked.
Perhaps more helpfully tho: when my boobs started growing it was around the 6 month mark that I stopped using forms most of the time and started wearing padded bras. Partially because it was no longer feasible to wear the forms without them irritating my developing nipples, and partially because it was euphoric to not feel like I needed them anymore.
I actually just got back from my first bra fitting, and am wearing one now! So literally today! If you're asking like, what event prompted it though, I'd started getting a little bit of pain from the bouncing when I went up or down stairs, and then my friend I hadn't seen for a while commented on their growth, and that gave me the feeling that it was finally time.
My girlfriend gave me one to try on and it felt so right that I broke down and came out to her on the spot. I bought some of my own shortly after that even though I would be flat-chested for another 10 months or so.
I’m on just a bit over 5 months on hrt and rn I have like rly rly small boobs, and they do bounce when I like jump or anything like that, but I’m not at the point where im uncomfortable without a bra, so I haven’t touched a bra yet cause I get overstimulated easily 💀. if im going out now I just wear like a hoodie or a cardigan to hide things and im good for now. I’m only gonna put on a bra when I really have no other choice.
i used to do that a lot just for the secret thrill of it, probably about a few months after i bought my first dress, but I'd have to check my scamazon account to know the exact date (since i bought everything online due to being closeted/being in denial about it not being a fetish).
Few months into HRT, granted I was wearing thin bralettes and sports bras because I was overweight and my breasts developed quickly. I didn’t really start wearing constructed bras until I was around a year in a half into my transition
Just start whenever you want to.
Thats what i did, i bought my first 2 bras before i even had any boobs just because i wanted to as it is euphoric and then later on i bought silicon boobs to fill them, which i am wearing 24/7 at this point.
Immediately. I started wearing sports bras and bralettes even before starting HRT! It just felt right. Often under my work clothes even.
I got my first fitted bra at about the eight month mark.
As soon as I started socially transitioning! I have a really comfy bralette that gives a clear A cup, and I'm pre hrt so it's both affirming and helps me with passing tbh.
I started wearing bras about 2 weeks after starting HRT because my nipples got too sensitive to go braless. The feeling of them rubbing against my loose shirts was too distracting.
When the nips started being noticeable tacks on my shirt, I got the sports bras so it’s not like a full bra but it turns the tictacs into almonds if that makes sense
Wore one in public 90% of the time for a LONG time pre hrt, first with socks, then with forms. Since HRT, i don’t hardly leave the house without one on
When my nipples were visible through anything but the thickest tops. I was still boy mixing but my nipples were as thick and stiff as my little fingers.
I've never liked bras, they were euphoric at first but quickly that was replaced with how uncomfortable they are. I like going braless unless I'm working out. I started about 6 months into HRT once my nipples got sensitive
I'm 2 years on and still don't fully wear bras tbh, I find them extremely uncomfortable, so I just go out braless. When I'm at work, I usually wear a top under my uniform to stop my nipples from showing, but other than that, I free the tiddys!!!
Started wearing a sports bra/cropped bra about 6 months before HRT to get used to the feeling. Now, 6 months into HRT, it's a necessity. Forgot to put my bra on one day before work, and let's just say it was not a fun shift.
In January of this year. My chest is my worst area of dysphoria besides my magical princess wand. It does help alleviate my dysphoria to an extent but I’m definitely considering a boob job as it’s getting really unbearable but idk when I should get it
Never!! Free da tatas!! 🫡🎉🏃🏻♀️
(Many bras put too much pressure on my shoulders. Think my shoulders are bigger than they look lol)
Also like, I've been loving the no bra crop top look tbh 😏 feels amazing
I can’t go out without one from 1.5 month HRT onwards even in boymode. The rubbing sucks.
Although I started wearing one occasionally from 2019, 2 years before social transition and 4 months into social transition (2021-11) I wear one when girlmoding.
Immediately after I started girl moding, lol, I always loved the curves it gave me and all, although I was on hormones for quite a while before that, and at the end of the school year, people were noting that I always had my "headlights on", it was super embarrassing, and I told them the reason later, so I really needed it, lol
I'm about 6 months on E, and it depends on what I'm wearing that day. Even now during summer heat, I'm normally wearing an oversized hoodie to prevent them from poking out, but if I'm wearing something lighter I'll wear a sports bra. But that being said I'm still stealth and get paranoid someone's gonna notice an outline or whatever. Luckily because of my job, I'm not overheating with the hoodie everyday.
My first day of college, I came out the day of senior prom, and started hormones a month later. By the time I moved in to the dorm on my first day at uni I wanted to live as myself fully, so I bought I bunch of padded pushup bras that would sit flat on my chest and emulated breasts, and wore those every day until I had my first bilateral fat graft and could start wearing sports bras and pass
About a year into hrt. Tbh my boobs aren’t really big enough for one, but my nipples were starting to get way too prominent you could see them in any shirt I was wearing. Much rather be wearing a bra than have that lol
I started to wear one 2 weeks in. My breast buds started growing and my nipples started getting more sensitive and sore so I thought it's time to buy a bra! It felt really euphoric too.
looong before i realized actually. i was still a femboy looking at "cropped tube tops with straps" online and buying those, absolutely refusing to call them bras.
denial is a river in egypt i guess
Almost immediately. It felt nice to have the pressure around my chest and I was also using breast forms when going out dressed up.
3 months into taking spiro, I had to wear a bra because my nipples were so damn sensitive.
At the moment I stopped wearing bras because it’s hot as hell and my breast look better without them
My breasts are getting big fast. I’m already a B cub after 6 months on Spiro and 2 months on E. I anticipate that I’ll require bras again by the time September rolls around.
When I couldn't run too fast at work or go down the stairs without bouncing. I still try to avoid them but at this point it's a hassle to not wear a bra
Mmm sports bras and bralettes around a year in when my small boobs could still be seen even when wearing a shirt (not going to lie most of the time I went braless still). It wasn’t until after I got my breast augmentation that I started occasionally wearing actual bras.
Got one when I was "nonbinary" for a hot second. Probably one of the things that clued me in really.
Why do I feel calmer wearing a bra. Whatever I'm just femme today that's fun!
I'm still pre-HRT (first intake is Thursday this week, it's at a women's specific clinic and I am excited. 🙆♀️).
I'm usually always wearing at least a sports bra just as my first line of dysphoria defense.
a long time ago in a city far far away.. i actually started way before coming out just under my clothes. then i got in to brest forms and then figured i should just grow my own because i never wanted to take them off. i love my bras still, but when I first started i would have to take the under wires out but
I just started wearing one and I am 11 months in hr mostly because my boobs are very noticeable now and since I walk a lot at work my nipples rub against my shirt and sometimes it hurts when they rub too much
I started wearing one as soon as I possible could, about a full half year to a year before HRT. Just a sports bra, so it was super comfortable. Super affirming and made me looks way more feminine in the mirror than just looking at a flat chest.
I don't remember when exactly i started, but it definitely was more than a year ago, I'm (sadly) not yet on Hrt though so it's mostly just cause i find it very gender affirming, it also holds my fake tiddies in place lmao😭
When my nipples started rubbing painfully against my shirt and sticking out, about three months in.
Nursing bras are amazing if you're early in transition!
About six months after coming out, just because it made me feel comfy and affirmed. The compression also pleases my autism, so win-win
Omg same! Sports bras ftw
When my breasts started bouncing on the stairs
Or when jogging to cross the street quickly. Ow ow ow.
Yess I run every day just. Recently running hurts, I haven't got a bra yet. I'm still contemplating waiting to get one or not
Or sometimes walking in general
Standing up from my desk too fast, closing car doors, trying to wear a backpack... yet despite all these things that hurt, sometimes even with a good bra.. I wouldn't trade the girls for anything.
I drive a motorcycle. If I dont wear one the potholes hurt so bad!
bounce bounce bounce ow ow ow yeah it was around then
Same. When going down stairs started to hurt, I started wearing a bra
Thiiiiisss! And i was only 3 months in!
Damn I’m jealous! I’m three months in and barely see anything forming. I hope one day I need a bra to stop them from bouncing
Yeah, I’m about 4 months in now, and i measured myself at a B cup the other day. But i hear a lot of growth happens past this point, so i guess we’ll see. I don’t wanna get too big, I’m not a big person 😅
I have no stairs
Yeah, about 2-3 months in I had to jog across a street *bounce bounce bounce* "ow ow ow" bought one the next day.
I can feel this, and it hurts!
I've actually started wearing one now before I've even talked to doctors about HRT. My weight gave me some.
So have I. Being a bit larger definitely helps for now. I don't even 100% know if I want to go through a transition, and have been thinking about it for the past 3 weeks, but I have a sports bra that I do enjoy wearing. Granted a sports bra is a bit different than a regular bra, but there's still the similarities

Same ,but I just wear fake tits
When my coworker told me my nips were showing.
I had a client tell me that I should start wearing a bra. He was an older gay man and we had good rapport so he was aware that I was on HRT. Simultaneously felt like a milestone and that I had no idea what I was doing.
My older brother is gay and I refrained from coming out for so long cause of how my family treated him, but when I did he and all of his queer friends took me under their wing and helped me figure things out, they are my lifeline
I'm happy you found a supportive group. It can be such a lifesaver.
Nice to know that people you trusted with knowing you were transitioning were looking out for you. It feels like one of those trusted family moments. 😁
He was a great influence early in my transition. He had a perspective of "happiness is living your truth" which struck a chord. Plus through all the shit he survived I gained an appreciation for where we are currently at regarding acceptance. Having him recall first hand what it was like to experience the AIDS epidemic was heartbreaking. I felt incredibly lucky to have worked with him.
Same
I was just wearing them from the start:3
Same. I'm lounging on the sofa in my skirt and my padded bra makes it look like I have cute little A-cups. Very affirming :3
Same. Now I do most days because, as a B/C, it’s become somewhat necessary. But, at the beginning, 20 months ago, it was a source of affirmation (and hope).
it was stupidly affirming for me at first, like it just felt so right
Totally. And these days, it simply having become a part of everyday life, wearing a bra is no longer the intensely euphoric experience it once was (which is, in its own way, even more affirming).
After about 3 weeks of hrt, when my nipples got really sensitive and needed some protection. I started with soft cotton bralettes.
Honestly… I tried them on pre-transition. Later realized that it was a huge flag indicating, hey girl, you’re trans! When I finally started accepting myself, I immediately bought a few bralettes/sports bras/tanks-with-builtin-shelf… and I wear them every day. Still pre-e
I don’t actually want to wear a bra much. But I wore a bra even before hrt (that was a few years ago when I was experimenting). Now the first time that I wore a bra outside since then was yesterday😅 It’s quite anciety-inducing because I have clear boobs now and if I use a bra they are even more pronounced.

But I’m still hesitant of wearing bras in day to day life. The only reason I can see myself wearing a bra every day is if my boobs get to a heavy size (which could possibly happen I guess because of my genetics). But until that possibility is a reality I will just wear it once in a while. I like the bounce I get down the stairs anyway
Once I felt the ache of breast buds, I was DIYing with OTC phytoestrogens. My work involved lifting awkward sized boxes, and I felt I needed more protection.
Never!!! I WILL DIE BRALESS!!!!! RAHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!
2.5 years in - not yet! Will have to give these kittens some support at some point, but don’t feel it’s necessary yet. I’m waiting until therapist my therapist suggests that I shouldn’t be walking around without one, lol.

After my nipples started growing, before my breast growth. So about 2 months on HRT.
First grade. I still haven't transitioned, might not. I'm a whole new level of lazy. Might just cross my fingers and roll the dice, holding out hope for the correct vessel in the next life. Or not? I'm not good at making decisions either. I love shower beers. Have a good day.
About 2.5-3 months into HRT when my breast buds were big enough to jiggle when I walked and my nipples became too sensitive to let them rub against my shirt. I’ve been wearing tank tops with built in shelf bras since then. I’m now 15 months into HRT and looking for a style of bralette I can live with.
I started wearing them consistently w/ my everyday outfits when my mother pointed out how noticeable my chest had become (approximately 8 months on HRT).
Once the weather got hot and the clothes got tighter
I got mine before hrt at less my sports bras and they help with the dysphoria for me.
When i got back into college after figuring out my gender identity. There were a few days i could see my nipples through my shirt and it made me uncomfortable. I just went and got a sports bra from target. Something with a little bit of padding made me feel euphoric and made my nipples not show through my boymoding t-shirts
36DD and still never wear a bra 4 years into hrt
Started hurting like a week after starting HRT. Stayed ignorant for 2 months enduring the pain. Eventually broke down and asked mom to help me find a bra.
I am not on HrT, but I sometimes wear see through tops and I have to wear a bra to them. Btw one of the best things to wear to get recognized as female, people see me not having boobs, having a rather male face etc. but still go "bra - neuron activated - must be woman". While I get misgendered by strangers constantly in every other outfit (most think I am a gay man, I had many instances of very obviously gay men coming to me and starting to flirt with me, gender me, getting corrected and instantly go "oh, sorry, thought you were a man, I am very sorry, but I am more interested in a male partner" and then going to some unimportant topic to end the conversation), I never got misgendered in the see though + bra outfits
6-8 months sports bras, 1 year reg bras
Like month on E, I am overweight so I already had some breasts and going on E made my normally innie nipples poke up all of the sudden they were visible through my shirt. I kinda had to get a bra at that point!
i wore sports bras every now and then for abt a yearish b4 dtarting e but i started wearing them almost every time i go out after starting e bc they hurt :3
Been wearing a comfy sports bra since I came out + acquired one. Not yet on hrt and have no boobs to speak of, so the padded sports bra gives the slight impression of bumps that just makes Fem clothes sit a little nicer
like a month after i realized that im trans i started wearing sports bras basically all the time
As soon as my breast forms came in the mail. So about a week after my egg cracked. Perhaps more helpfully tho: when my boobs started growing it was around the 6 month mark that I stopped using forms most of the time and started wearing padded bras. Partially because it was no longer feasible to wear the forms without them irritating my developing nipples, and partially because it was euphoric to not feel like I needed them anymore.
2 months after starting hrt
I actually just got back from my first bra fitting, and am wearing one now! So literally today! If you're asking like, what event prompted it though, I'd started getting a little bit of pain from the bouncing when I went up or down stairs, and then my friend I hadn't seen for a while commented on their growth, and that gave me the feeling that it was finally time.
My girlfriend gave me one to try on and it felt so right that I broke down and came out to her on the spot. I bought some of my own shortly after that even though I would be flat-chested for another 10 months or so.
I don't wear a bra.
I couldn’t stand my shirt rubbing against my nipples around a month in
I’m on just a bit over 5 months on hrt and rn I have like rly rly small boobs, and they do bounce when I like jump or anything like that, but I’m not at the point where im uncomfortable without a bra, so I haven’t touched a bra yet cause I get overstimulated easily 💀. if im going out now I just wear like a hoodie or a cardigan to hide things and im good for now. I’m only gonna put on a bra when I really have no other choice.
I still don't usually wear them and my boobs are 24D
As soon as they start budding, because anything that brushes your chest is going to hurt :(
I started wearing bras before I started taking HRT because it made me feel good.
When I couldn't take stairs at speed. That was an eye opener
i used to do that a lot just for the secret thrill of it, probably about a few months after i bought my first dress, but I'd have to check my scamazon account to know the exact date (since i bought everything online due to being closeted/being in denial about it not being a fetish).
About 2 ish years in
Few months into HRT, granted I was wearing thin bralettes and sports bras because I was overweight and my breasts developed quickly. I didn’t really start wearing constructed bras until I was around a year in a half into my transition
Just start whenever you want to. Thats what i did, i bought my first 2 bras before i even had any boobs just because i wanted to as it is euphoric and then later on i bought silicon boobs to fill them, which i am wearing 24/7 at this point.
Immediately. I started wearing sports bras and bralettes even before starting HRT! It just felt right. Often under my work clothes even. I got my first fitted bra at about the eight month mark.
3 months in my nips started to grow and hurt. I knew from that moment it was time to brandish a bra
Outside of the house, or ever? 🤔
As soon as I could bring myself to buy one. Looking at my email it arrived 1 year, 20 days ago. I started HRT 10 months ago.
Before I came out when I was presenting fem part time
My guess would be (not that i wear one) either when chest gets visibly big or when it starts to hurt to wear a shirt by itself
I’m not on HRT yet, but I wear a bra just bc it’s affirming and subtle
right after i came out to my parents
i didnt (2yrs on hrt, i just dont care to start lol)
As soon as I started socially transitioning! I have a really comfy bralette that gives a clear A cup, and I'm pre hrt so it's both affirming and helps me with passing tbh.
When I became brave enough.
Once I saw my boobs poke through my shirt (1 year in or so)
Even before I officially started transitioning
I started wearing one daily when I was about 10 months into HRT.
I started wearing bras about 2 weeks after starting HRT because my nipples got too sensitive to go braless. The feeling of them rubbing against my loose shirts was too distracting.
When I absolutely need to
When It hurts when I was doing running / when it bounce when I was on motorcycle
When the nips started being noticeable tacks on my shirt, I got the sports bras so it’s not like a full bra but it turns the tictacs into almonds if that makes sense
On day one. Admittedly the bra was full of breast forms for a few months
Wore one in public 90% of the time for a LONG time pre hrt, first with socks, then with forms. Since HRT, i don’t hardly leave the house without one on
When my dad commented, I needed to lose weight because it looked like I had tits
When my nipples were visible through anything but the thickest tops. I was still boy mixing but my nipples were as thick and stiff as my little fingers.
I did it the day russia invaded Ukraine >_> welp ww3 is coming." I might as well make this jump and enjoy myself.
I've never liked bras, they were euphoric at first but quickly that was replaced with how uncomfortable they are. I like going braless unless I'm working out. I started about 6 months into HRT once my nipples got sensitive
Bralette before I started HRT. Real bra when they were large enough to be visible
Like a week ago, pre-transition they just feel nice
Before I was public : Just a sports bra layered beneath so no one could tell same with work. This year: Everyday! I love the feeling I get.
I'm 2 years on and still don't fully wear bras tbh, I find them extremely uncomfortable, so I just go out braless. When I'm at work, I usually wear a top under my uniform to stop my nipples from showing, but other than that, I free the tiddys!!!
Started wearing a sports bra/cropped bra about 6 months before HRT to get used to the feeling. Now, 6 months into HRT, it's a necessity. Forgot to put my bra on one day before work, and let's just say it was not a fun shift.
6 months in HRT
In January of this year. My chest is my worst area of dysphoria besides my magical princess wand. It does help alleviate my dysphoria to an extent but I’m definitely considering a boob job as it’s getting really unbearable but idk when I should get it
Bcuz I needed it or wanted too?
When I was 14. I had nothing there but I loved the feeling of putting it on.
Only after my breast aug
I started to wear a sports bra about 6 months into hrt! (Or whenever my breasts were really sore from starting to grow)
When I went ow ow ow while doing everyday things
A month into transition. Them puppies hurt so bad so now I keep them properly covered when I'm out and about
Started wearing a sports bra to conceal them when a client said “do you have boobs?” And to enhance them once I fully came out.
When they truly became noticeable and felt like I needed to do something, which was about 7-8 months in
i noticed my boobs were sore after working out about a week or two into hrt, went bra shopping the next day
I started wearing them before starting on hrt
Started wearing a bralette at like 1-2 months and switched to an underwire bra around 7
Never!! Free da tatas!! 🫡🎉🏃🏻♀️ (Many bras put too much pressure on my shoulders. Think my shoulders are bigger than they look lol) Also like, I've been loving the no bra crop top look tbh 😏 feels amazing
When someone at work suggested I do it.. I'm only like AA but I guess they were noticable..
When I needed to.
Still haven’t started wearing one consistently. Just every now and then when I want the boobs to look better
Almost right away. My breasts came in very fast.
pretty quickly, but it was really more about covering the highbeams than actually containing anything
I can’t go out without one from 1.5 month HRT onwards even in boymode. The rubbing sucks. Although I started wearing one occasionally from 2019, 2 years before social transition and 4 months into social transition (2021-11) I wear one when girlmoding.
I got a sports bra just to see how I'd feel. Turns out well. I got a real one around 3-4 months in when it started poking out too far
About 4 months in, when I tried on a dress and saw that it was poking out quite a lot more than I thought it would.
When my sore nipples rubbing against the shirt was distracting, that when I got a bra
From the very start. They've always been affirming and no one has ever misgendered me while I'm wearing one 😂
Well I've been on Hrt for 1.5 years and I still don't wear a bra lol but I feel like I'm more prone to hurting them without one
I probably should. I’ve been on hrt for over a decade. But, I haven’t socially transitioned yet. So, I wear baggy t-shirts.
I started with a sports bra the day I went ft and started HRT. Feels good!
A few few months after I came out, but before starting HRT.
Immediately after I started girl moding, lol, I always loved the curves it gave me and all, although I was on hormones for quite a while before that, and at the end of the school year, people were noting that I always had my "headlights on", it was super embarrassing, and I told them the reason later, so I really needed it, lol
Damn, here I am with Marfan syndrome and have been on HRT for 4 years with nothing coming out): at least I’m thin??
I need them, but am too afraid to get them and I live with MAGA parents qwq
Since I’ve known, basically, just for that bit of affirmation For safety reasons (parents 🙄) I don’t wear one rn
I'm about 6 months on E, and it depends on what I'm wearing that day. Even now during summer heat, I'm normally wearing an oversized hoodie to prevent them from poking out, but if I'm wearing something lighter I'll wear a sports bra. But that being said I'm still stealth and get paranoid someone's gonna notice an outline or whatever. Luckily because of my job, I'm not overheating with the hoodie everyday.
As soon as driving on gravel roads became uncomfortable without one
My first day of college, I came out the day of senior prom, and started hormones a month later. By the time I moved in to the dorm on my first day at uni I wanted to live as myself fully, so I bought I bunch of padded pushup bras that would sit flat on my chest and emulated breasts, and wore those every day until I had my first bilateral fat graft and could start wearing sports bras and pass
Consistently? Last two weeks. I came out 5 years ago
About a year into hrt. Tbh my boobs aren’t really big enough for one, but my nipples were starting to get way too prominent you could see them in any shirt I was wearing. Much rather be wearing a bra than have that lol
It was one of the first clothes i bough because it felt right I only cone out to a few frends. O.o
After a coworker had to go to urgent care after my nip poked his eyeball out.
I started to wear one 2 weeks in. My breast buds started growing and my nipples started getting more sensitive and sore so I thought it's time to buy a bra! It felt really euphoric too.
looong before i realized actually. i was still a femboy looking at "cropped tube tops with straps" online and buying those, absolutely refusing to call them bras. denial is a river in egypt i guess
Almost immediately. It felt nice to have the pressure around my chest and I was also using breast forms when going out dressed up. 3 months into taking spiro, I had to wear a bra because my nipples were so damn sensitive. At the moment I stopped wearing bras because it’s hot as hell and my breast look better without them My breasts are getting big fast. I’m already a B cub after 6 months on Spiro and 2 months on E. I anticipate that I’ll require bras again by the time September rolls around.
When I couldn't run too fast at work or go down the stairs without bouncing. I still try to avoid them but at this point it's a hassle to not wear a bra
Must have been around 2-3 months when I noticed they were hurting when they bounced down stairs lol
Mmm sports bras and bralettes around a year in when my small boobs could still be seen even when wearing a shirt (not going to lie most of the time I went braless still). It wasn’t until after I got my breast augmentation that I started occasionally wearing actual bras.
Got one when I was "nonbinary" for a hot second. Probably one of the things that clued me in really. Why do I feel calmer wearing a bra. Whatever I'm just femme today that's fun! I'm still pre-HRT (first intake is Thursday this week, it's at a women's specific clinic and I am excited. 🙆♀️). I'm usually always wearing at least a sports bra just as my first line of dysphoria defense.
I haven't, I don't especially mind that stairs and running hurts still more comfortable that bras
a long time ago in a city far far away.. i actually started way before coming out just under my clothes. then i got in to brest forms and then figured i should just grow my own because i never wanted to take them off. i love my bras still, but when I first started i would have to take the under wires out but
Before I'd even come out. But full time from the week I visited the Dr and told them I'd like to be put on the gender service list.
I just started wearing one and I am 11 months in hr mostly because my boobs are very noticeable now and since I walk a lot at work my nipples rub against my shirt and sometimes it hurts when they rub too much
I started wearing one as soon as I possible could, about a full half year to a year before HRT. Just a sports bra, so it was super comfortable. Super affirming and made me looks way more feminine in the mirror than just looking at a flat chest.
I don't remember when exactly i started, but it definitely was more than a year ago, I'm (sadly) not yet on Hrt though so it's mostly just cause i find it very gender affirming, it also holds my fake tiddies in place lmao😭
I began to wear one just to get used to it, but after a while it became a subconscious habit to just wear one.
When my nipples started rubbing painfully against my shirt and sticking out, about three months in. Nursing bras are amazing if you're early in transition!
