Acceptance / Re: Attempting to be New Around Here

« Last post by NoWorries25 on Yesterday at 10:16:22 PM »

Hi, KV.  Welcome to the club.  I can identify with your hesitation to go for a fitting, but it is well worth the discomfort to do it.  (as you have no doubt found by now) My own trip to Torid was just over a year ago, and was completely worth the abject horror that I felt before going.  The trip resulted in purchasing several bras so that I could rotate them throughout the month.  Then I discovered that I could use my newly found knowledge to order bras from online sources with a high degree of success. I am having an absolute blast now.  (or should I say "hoot?")

I would never have admitted this a year ago... but now....  I kind of welcome the moderate projections when they occur.  Of course, not being a 'G' cup helps.  Darker clothing with little or no pattern seems to 'project' less, but  A seatbelt shoulder strap passing between my little hills doesn't bother me in the least - even when on amusement park rides.  I believe it is all about what we consider 'normal.' 

The more we try to hide them, the more they make their presence known.

Acceptance Garments / Re: Push-up bras

« Last post by oldguy on Yesterday at 03:07:47 PM »

I bought one a while ago without realizing it, and I never wear it because it makes my boobs look even bigger. I'm not looking to add any more volume than I already have, so I usually go for lightly lined or unlined bras.

Agree.  Beyond the pencil test.  Sharpie now.

I have noticed that the harder one tries to hide, the more obvious it becomes.  My personal method of dealing is to hold my head high, my back straight and shoulders back in natural posture.  This posture also places the weight distribution more directly over the feet making balance better, the walking rhythm more natural, and with fewer pains in the neck (literally) and back.

Swimming creates a whole new set of problems, but all can be dealt with relatively easily.  In the beginning, I thought that swimming would be a lost art, but I have found that you just have to be comfortable and not wear anything too .... interesting.  Tankini's (courtesy of Birdie), bold cover-ups, and some courage is "all" that it takes. The normal now is the new normal forevermore.  Enjoy!  Don't let it steal your life!  When in Rome..... or....when a B/C (or more) enjoy the ride.

I regularly swim at the YWCA because it is an indoor pool that is open the year around.  Just don't show up topless - there are usually children present. 

When I walk, usually 3 miles a day, your method is correct and what I do.  For all the same reasons you mention, especially my back.  Of course, that does cause more projection no matter what sports bra I am wearing.

The senior centers that I use, when the weather is bad, have multiple pools for swimming.  It's hard enough for me to use the machines without some visual discomfort.  After 72 years, swimming is too far a visual stretch for me now.  First started swimming at the YMCA at age 3.  Lifeguard certification at 12.  WSI at 15.  When in Mexico and Hawaii, I will swim in the ocean, topless.  No one know me there.

Gynecomastia Talk / Re: Hello; newly dealing with this

Hi all, just want to say thank you for your responses. I really appreciate it. It feels good to know that I'm not alone in this.

I have indeed read up on Couvade syndrome (and also that the science is shaky on it). If it's that, then there's nothing I can do but wait and see what happens after the baby is born. Not long to go now (wife is due in May).

Sensitivity has basically been at zero for the past few days but it may just as well come back tomorrow; it hasn't really been consistent over the past 6 months.

Welcome.  I know this is a tad stressful now for both of you.  Focus on your wife and child.  This is urgent.  The rest will be important later.  Your wife, and you, will have a lot more things to keep you focused over the next 6 months.  We had 3 daughters over 6 years.  The estrogen was everywhere in the house.  I had an office that minimized the emotions.   They have kids and now understand the need for quiet time.

Those feelings only became more amplified after the orchiectomy. 

Anticipating this was a normal response due to my medical background, I never noticed the effect until about 6-7 months after the procedure. 
My wardrobe has moved more towards ‘ peacock’ than it was in the past.

Getting compliments from my wife on my presentation. Feels good after spending a lifetime in scrubs & uniforms.

...  I find myself unexpectedly more accepting of wearing bright colors and more feminine styles.  Does anyone else have that perception?

I find that mindset to be most liberating.  I can harly wait to see what happens next.

It makes perfect sense to have our feelings more in line with women now.  Liking more color in our wardrobe and softer clothing is natural and not a problem for me.  I feel it's all a part of the journey and freeing. 

This.      ALot of changes emotionally and perspective on many things alters.
