Acceptance Garments / Re: Your Favorite Bra Fitter and Why?

« Last post by gotgyne on Today at 06:23:31 AM »

Myself sadly have only had one fitting and you could tell she wasn't interested .
She didn't measure me just brought me a random selection and told me to try them on.
All the other stores in my town have told me they would only do a visual fitting as men aren't allowed to try on in store.

This fitter is really lousy!

And that men are not allowed to try on lingerie in stores is just discrimination!

Gynecomastia Talk / Re: My story

« Last post by gotgyne on Today at 06:14:33 AM »

Some time ago I found a video on YouTube "Wearing Historical Clothing in Public: How to feel confident and manage criticism" by V. Birchwood. Although it does not refer to our problems the tips could be very useful for us too who are wearing a bra in public. Watch the video, it is very worth seeing!

Gynecomastia Talk / Re: My story

« Last post by gotgyne on Today at 04:55:58 AM »

I developed my gynecomastia since my mid-forties, thus I don't have any experience with gyne at school. Nevertheless I know from reading the posts of many other men here, that it is really embarrassing with gynecomastia during the teenage years and especially at school. Today I read in a psychological forum about a 12 year old boy who started a thread in 2008 and wrote that he had A cup breasts and asked whether he needed a bra. His female schoolmates had said to him "buy a bra" and his grandmother had already offered him one. Some of the members of the mentioned forum regarded this as a fake written by an older man. Of course there are fakes but I think it is not helpful and even offending to believe that all posts like this are fake.

Acceptance / Re: Do you like wearing a bra

The bra does its job so well I forget I am wearing one much of the time in contrast to a strong awareness of my boobs without one on. But when I am aware of my bra, I have a comforting feeling about wearing one. Feeling good about wearing a bra goes along way to create an acceptance of having boobs.

I believe that is the purpose of a bra and why it works so well for so many of us. Anything that can make us feel more comfortable and confident is a very good thing.

It was an ironic twist that after the initial embarrassment of being told over and over in school that I needed a bra, that I would come to prefer wearing one daily and would feel very out of place without one on.

Ask a Doctor / Re: Gyno after surgery and trt

The fact that you are having trt and HCG treatment can start the growth.  Nolvadex may or may not help. However, it is something you can try. You should be under a knowledgeable doctor's care to manage such a complex issue.

I have to admit I do quite like the feeling of a well fitting bra.  Things are held in place and I believe I have a much nicer shape.  The mental aspect or rather the comfort felt emotionally is another side of the coin I never thought I would have.
I would agree, function and fashion is also important to me as well.
  I do like how a different bra can shape things and change my outward appearance so dramatically.  I enjoy that very much.  That being said I do have some that are for an around the home day.  I'm inclined to think it satisfies my feminine   side.
