My First Bra

[Dudewithboobs]

Spent a solid chunk of time on the breast life before finding this forum years ago. Glad to see it’s still there and active. The author of the site is wonderful and the commitment to the male breast portion of it really helped me accept the initial development of my chest.

I too found that site before discovering this site... but alas, though these threads about male breasts and brassieres are still available, they are all old.  The one John posts was written in 2015.  I posted on a few of them under a different username, but I noted no one had posted for years and no one responded to what I wrote.  I've no doubt that some of our friends on this board were active there.  Sophie even used the same username...    There are only so many places where conversations on this subject are found...

I just looked up the site but don’t see a forum or a male section. Just a blog. Am I missing something?

If you scroll down to the bottom of each article you'll find a great many comments from men.  It is many years old but the conversations are still worth reading.  You'll find Sophie's comments under the same username she uses here... A Boy With Girls.  I'm quite certain others from this site were involved in those exchanges.  If I recall there are perhaps three or four articles focused on men, breasts and brassieres... our friends...

Yup I spent a bit of time there and recall seeing some names here later on that were there. It was nice seeing that cause it felt like an actual community and not just a random stumbled upon forum of sorts. It was nice to find other guys dealing with or have dealt with or coming to terms with what I felt I was experiencing. Back then I was just budding and feeling the itchiness and seeing subtle projection and shopping immediately for a surgeon to remedy it. But between driving to consultations and spending time looking more in to other areas of guys with this issue I learned to just deal with it. 
Over the last couple years of here I’ve made some friends and have DMd with some, had a small chat group on kik with a couple others where we’d talk more directly off the forum and when they exited over some time tried again to no avail. But this forum has been great and breastlife started it for me so wish they had more activity than what I’ve heard it is now here but still a great resource I think to check in on even if the most recent stuff is quite archived.

It’s been a while since I tried a bra but today was the first time I felt like I really needed one.
I had surgery years ago and joined this forum when my chest started filling back out. It’s been quite a journey. I wish I had tried a bra before surgery.
I’ve experienced scar pain particularly on the side where the drains came out. I’ve always thought this was just scar tissue but I’ve come to associate this pain with boob growth.
I was having severe scar pain today and put on a bra. Total relief.
I’ve tried wired ones but only have wireless now. Regularly wearing them.

Sorry to hear your still having pain and discomfort from your past surgery.  I'm glad you found that you can get relief from wearing a soft cup bra.  Do what works for you and forget what others think.

Thanks Parity. Don’t have pain too often. I’ve been wearing lounge bras to bed this week and it seems to control movement.

I have been known to wear a sleep bra to bed. Having light support at night can be the difference from sleeping and not. Containing movement at night can be just as important as daytime containment for a host of reasons including pain relief.  I have been glad to have had a sleep bra at times.

So sorry to hear of the pain Ben but am glad you have found a bra is the solution. A soft cup wire free bra is my go to type and style as well. Or a comfortable pullover or tank top shelf bra you recommended awhile ago. They’ve been life savers. I hope you continue to find the relief is simply in support and not medical.

Benusa2 and Johndoe1, you are both quite full busted, so need to wear a bra for comfort and appearance, like full-busted women do.

I’ve been wearing wireless cotton bras that look like tanks and lately I’ve worn those in bed. At home I wear the white bra pictured. Starting to feel full busted.
