Different types of bra

[Dudewithboobs]

Never thought about it like that...just cause no one says anything don't mean they don't notice it is pretty sound logic. My wife tells me my chest hasn't gotten worse when I ask periodically when I notice it has become fuller and I'm tempted half the time to just ask her to feel them as a if you don't see them then please tell me my chest feels normal to you cause it sure doesn't feel like pecs to me lol. I know body's are different, but curious with the talk of being noticeable, at what point did anyone who cares to share here find that their chest was no longer able to be hidden as breasts? I know some guys have the man boobs and some cushion, but at what stage of things did it beome apparent that this was different than that?

How many people have we seen here try a bra and can't believe the difference,  physically as well as mentally from being braless. Obviously size and weight plays a part but not all women wear bras for vanity. Many wear them, hell, put up with all the headaches associated with bras like price and the endless search for the right bra because of the comfort factor in supporting and containing the tissue projecting off their chest. How are we any different? We don't have a vagina? Boobs are boobs no matter whose chest they are on, boy or girl. Bras don't change who you are. It's just clothing like tops and pants. Remember,  Womanhood is not defined by breasts, and breasts are not indicative of womanhood

In my early 20s when girls I dated started comparing their breasts to mine.

[Dudewithboobs]

Agreed. Just wish others realized that instead of thinking it is just a guy wearing a woman’s fashion item. 

[Busted (and happy)]

That, Dude, is the whole point.
We need to keep saying it and more importantly, keep dressing as if we believe it,
If any are too thick to understand that simple fact, then they are idiots who should just be ignored 

[Dudewithboobs]

Dressing and believing is easy peasy lol it’s convincing that’s tough. The 25 and under group will have it much easier as that generation is trending well on the body positive stuff. I’m 36 and people my age are pretty embedded in their notions. 

[Johndoe1]

Luckily not all older folk are locked into a thought.  Of the few women know of my need to be supported and contained, about 25% are 50+. The rest are under 50 and under 40. There's hope. 

[Dudewithboobs]

I’m sure there is. I don’t see it for self but for others I hope they have it easy in the argument for support talks with their circle of people or self or significant other.

I wasn't talking easy peasy - more relentless dogged determination. I am 76yo
I find people of my age and more well able to cast aside prejudice and are more able to process sensible reasoned argument than many who are much younger.

OMG yes!!!

I lived as a man with significant gynecomastia for decades and wore a bra for support, comfort and shape. Now, as a woman, my chest has changed very little. I never wore a bra because of what I had or don't have between my legs. I also never went braless because of what I had or don't have between my legs.

Whether gynecomastia is idiopathic or brought on by medications, it's usually not a choice. It just happens. Sometimes it's welcome and sometimes not. A bra however is a choice. I personally feel that it's also the best choice to deal with breasts. It makes them look and feel better. 

Being a woman doesn't mean that I have to wear a bra. Being a man shouldn't ban you from wearing a bra. It is still a choice and like I said it works.

Love you guys

That's it!  Bras aren't just for women there for breast.  They are marketed to  woman because in general only women have the need for them and have ample breast in need of them.  I think its that simple.  Some girls and women wear baseball caps.  It holds back hair and perhaps for a bit of warmth and some times their melon just looks good in one.

  Buy / wear a bra that fits and shapes  the way you feel and wish to be seen.

[Dudewithboobs]

Absolutely. A bra not only makes me feel better about my chest but makes me less aware that they are there. They may be a bit more out there but not noticeable, not to me at least. But it’s much better than feeling them pressed against my shirt or jiggling or getting in the way anytime I move my arms.

Exactly!

Absolutely. A bra not only makes me feel better about my chest but makes me less aware that they are there.

I am far more aware of my breasts if braless for some reason.

I usually forget I am even wearing a bra most of the time.

When I first began wearing a bra, I ordered several different bras.  All were wireless and non-padded.  I chose one because it was comfortable and my breasts filled the cups.  I also liked the 2 hook back.  I bought two more of the same bra in different colors and have been wearing them since.  After my recent growth, the bra seems to sag in the front.  It could be that it's getting old or the back needs to be tightened, although it seems firm around my chest.  Since I still had the bra that I liked but didn't fill the cups and had 3 hook back.  I tried that on this morning and it is perfect.  Thank goodness it is winter here, so I don't have to worry about exposure.  February, in Mazatlan, will be an issue.
