I can't believe how much better my life has been since I started wearing bras

[guy with girls]

As a younger man (20s), I've had a fairly large chest for years now (36B). When I first put on a regular, women bra and then a sports bra, it was like a weight was lifted off of my chest (literally and figuratively). My chest felt supported and comfortable for the first time in years. I had gotten used to the discomfort of breast jiggle and bounce, but I never realized how much it bothered me until it was no longer there. Wearing a bra is like freedom, like I can actually live my life without being weighed down by physical discomfort. I never thought I'd say this, but wearing a bra is one of the best decisions I've made for my gynecomastia. Before, I was constantly uncomfortable with breast jiggle and bounce and thought I had to just live with it. But now that I've tried wearing a bra, my life has changed dramatically for the better. The comfort and support that a bra provides is honestly amazing. It's been so freeing to finally feel supported and comfortable in my own body. And the push up bra's even give me the perkiness I've always wanted - it's like I have a whole new body. I can't believe I didn't start earlier. Wearing a bra, whether it's a normal, push-up or a sports bra, has made such a difference in my life, it's almost unbelievable.



Ever since I started wearing bras, I've discovered a whole new world of wardrobe options. I love thinking about how to pair different bras with different outfits, such as matching colors and styles. I'm actually becoming a big fan of black and red, so that's my current go-to color combination for my bras. And here's the best part – I can now own more than just one bra! I can have a closet full of different types of bras for different purposes, like sports bras for comfort, push up bras for perkiness and form, and standard women's bras in different designs such as frills and lace edge as for personal viewing pleasure and aesthetics.


Can anyone else relate to this or have any similar experiences, I'd love to hear about this more.

This was me as well. I went years unsupported myself. And hated it. I hated the bounce. I hated the jiggle. I hated how my tops fitted. I hated the weight hanging off my chest. I hated the uncontrolled movement. 

Finally, after a series of events, I tried on my first properly fitted bra and found my true size, which was larger than I expected and explained a lot of my discomfort and anxiety. At that moment, I knew bras would be a part of my wardrobe from now on. And they are. 

And like you, I enjoy picking the bra out and then finding the top that works with it. I enjoy the feeling of my breasts nestled in the cups, lifted off my chest and held in place, providing shaping and containment and restricting movement. Everything feeling in its place. Comfortable. Worry free. 

Bras maybe intended for women, but some men benefit from them as well for the same reasons.

I think this is true for most now that they have experienced it.  I am still growing and I have reached the point that allowing my girls to run free is irritating and eventually painful. 
Plus the "support' or "grab' aspect is comforting to have them "held" in place.

I developed my breasts in my early teen years much like the girls in my class. Trying a bra on for the first time was initially a reaction to all the continuous "teasing" that I needed a bra and thus becoming curious if they were right and if I actually would fit a bra. 

I was immediately amazed how well I did fit one of my sister's bras and how it felt to wear a bra. I was amazed to look down at my cleavage held in the bra cups and how I looked in the mirror wearing a bra. I was able to quickly conclude that the comments in school were right that I did fit / need a bra. This realization evaporated any denial I was clinging to that I was not developing like a girl and in an unexpected way made me start to accept and enjoy my breasts when I wore a bra. Maybe a bit of a teenage fetish thing to have my own breasts to enjoy.

As I experimented with bras as a teen I also began to realize there was a purpose to wearing a bra; I felt physically better when I wore one with the support it provided. I continued to attend high school braless due to social concerns, but I was acutely aware of the subtle discomfort my unsupported breasts gave me. I began to want to wear a bra when ever I felt I could do so undetected, not only due to "liking" having a bra on, but also due to the comfort of the support it provided.

After high school and into university I eventually was able to transition into wearing a bra full time. I have a supportive wife that agrees I need a bra. I appreciate everyday putting on my bra in the morning and having the support. I have long learned to accept and even appreciate my breasts if they can be appropriately managed with wearing a bra. If I could have a talk with my teenage self I would suggest to embrace wearing a bra full time sooner as that was the only way to be fully comfortable with my breast development.
