choosing breast forms

[Lysette]

I'm thinking of purchasing breast forms and I'd like some input. I'm 6'6" so I think I need somewhere in the neighborhood of DDD, or E to look nicely proportioned. I like the idea of the type that adhere to me, so that I feel the weight and bounce of the breast as naturally as possible, as opposed to the kind that go in a pocket bra.

My questions are:

Is that about the right cup size to consider for a woman my height?

Do the forms that you adhere to your chest give the most realistic feeling?

Are the claims of being able to go braless realistic, especially given the size I'm talking about?

How hard is it to create realistic looking cleavage? Do you use makeup to blend the forms with your chest?

What other considerations should I be aware of?

Here are a couple of sites I'm considering - any experience with these or similar sites?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks very much!

Dear Lysette,

Proportional chest size has little to do with height alone. You're very tall for either gender. A larger rib cage or shoulders could justify a big bust to blend in. Many women of your height tend to be thinner and smaller busted. My CD husband is near a foot shorter and wears the size you're considering. 'She's' broad shouldered and wears padded butt and hips.

With advice from my husband and CD friends:
Stick on boobs do not feel like the 'real thing'. They stick to your skin, not part of your chest tissue.
DDD women should never go braless.
My guy buys from Breastform, seems a good value. No product is totally 'realistic'.

If your goal is to venture out and blend into the public, breast size is the least of your concerns. Get your face right with a nice outfit. A height of 6'6" will draw attention by itself. Big, braless, bouncing boobies won't help one bit.

Lysette I think we need a bit more information. While you are 6'6" what is your build and weight, do you have wide shoulders, what band size is your bra. Like Eileen said tall thin women are usually small breasted and not large. You want more of a proportional look and something that looks good on your body. Also as has been pointed out, while going bra less sounds like fun, with large forms you are looking for trouble going bra less. That large of form will have problems sticking, and if you do get them to stick well that is a lot of weight on your skin surface. I am a larger person and often wear a DDD form and I always wear a good supporting bra. Also you need to look at what you want out of getting and wearing forms. If you are just doing it at home do what every you want. If you are going out and about and do not care what other think, than again do what you want. But most of us when we go out and about we want a more blending look. I never thought I would wear my DDD forms out and about, but with my weight gain i had my wife says they look better on me than my smaller ones. Again going for a blending and normal look for a gal my size and shape.

A good way to know what to get if you want a blending look is to go to the mall and people watch. Look for gals your similar size and build and see what they look like. Now you may not want to walk up to them and ask them what size boobs do you have, but you should get a good idea what you should look like if you want a blending look.

Good luck and have fun.

Good points! My weight is currently 290 lbs. but I find that the pink fog is helping inspire me to lose weight. I think 250 lbs should be doable in a few months, and ultimately 220. My band size is 44, and bust 47. Waist 42, hips 51. I guess those will go down as my overall weight does. I often get asked if I played football, so that's my build.

I'm glad to hear of others wearing very large forms. I must confess that a big part of the reason I want them that size is just the turn-on of big boobs, however, I think there is something to the idea of proportion too. I'm still very unsure of my ability to ever pass in public, but that would be my goal. I do not want to look like a drag queen. I keep envisioning myself as a gorgeous amazon some day.

Regarding the feel of the forms: which style typically gives wearers the most natural, realistic feeling? I would think that if they are attached to my chest they would pull at me in a similar way to a GG's breasts, no? It seems like if they are just weights tucked into a bra, without being adhered, that it would be less realistic.

Thank you again for your kind help!

With your height and chest size, larger forms might just work. 'Turn-on of big boobs'? Tell me about it! So many of you CD's are boob centered. It's not as much fun living every day with them.
Decent forms are expensive, so choose carefully. I'll assume you've done some dating with women and know that breast tissue is very malleable, forms are not so much. Which feel most realistic? I'll leave that for others to respond.
I'm sorry to disappoint your fantasy, forms glued to your skin is in no way similar to actual breast tissue. Many forms can be worn with or without being attached. With a good bra, no glue seems easier and less messy. A large form would have to hurt after some wear time if glued on.
'Just weights tucked into a bra'. Yes they are, but I can't take them off when a mind too.

It seems you want some natural sway in movement, not something every woman desires. Believe me, DDD forms will move on their own accord. You don't want your chest to look like two kids fighting under a bed sheet.

I just had a look at the first link, wow I never realised there were so many options !

I agree you need to think about your body proportions to get that natural look, one thing that strikes me is that if you are broad shouldered with such a big bust are you not going to find it difficult to get blouses and dresses to fit? Maybe a good compromise would be something a little smaller.

I imagine that if you are wearing forms then the choice of bra is just as important, sturdy full cups rather than push ups

Hi Lysette,

I just came across your query post and want to share some additional information with you.

As you can see in my profile photo I am a BIG bodied person and find lovey femme things in my size difficult to obtain.
When I decided to purchase forms to enhance my appearance (even though it's 100% closeted) I was told to be careful of the silicone filled forms as they had to be tenderly cared for or would eventually leak. That ruled them out as such items as this get stuffed in a box. I was tired of the foam ones I had as they kept flaking off little pieces of the foam. On a CDer chat room they were discussing brand new type forms that would last forever if properly cared for, and were brand named "Pals".

That had to be 15 or more years ago, so I checked out their site, http://www.supergelproducts.com/. I loved what I was seeing offered, no way near as much as they now offer, on their site. I sent them an email asking if they were crossdresser supportive and friendly. The reply was immediate and very positive requesting I give them a call. I did just that and spoke with a woman who was co-owner and developer of this product with her husband. We must've talked for an hour as she provided me with every answer I needed. Based on her suggestion I purchased the largest size they then offered as they truly looked like real women's do! They arrived within a week and are everything as advertised. They are so realistic looking and even make the proper protrusions when worn under a silky top in my see through bra! I still have and wear them whenever I'm in Berta mode by myself. (While my wife knows and tolerates, I try not to push it too far when we're together. She heads for bed a lot earlier than I do and that sometimes is my Berta time.) I think they have the weight and feel of a real female's, based on my caressing my wife's. Worn in a proper bra, I like and pretty much wear strapless ones, they bounce and jiggle just like real ones. The gel they are made of cannot leak as it's not a liquid. They can be covered with make-up to blend in with your actual skin tone and they are washable.

I do have a photo of me wearing them in one of my see through pocket style bras but the rules of this site prohibit me from posting it here or providing a link to it as it really looks like the real thing. If you're interested in seeing this photo send me an email at "bertacd_1@hotmail.com" and I'll gladly send it to you.

Hope this was of some help to you,
Berta
