For myself it's the band. Feeling it all around the back, coming around the side and going across just under the chest. It's feels like someone grabbing me from behind, wrapping there hands around me and getting a nice big HUG. You know, the kind that might have been lacking as a child. I have one brand of bra in four colors that has five hooks, nice and wide.
Second are the cups, with or without forms. The rubbing on my boobies, the weight and the bounce of a good pair of forms.
Last would be the straps. I can't feel the straps so much on my shoulders . I mostly feel them on my back. I like leaning forward and twisting, then the straps and band are felt moving around the back.
What do you ladies like and why?
I didn't give a option to 'all of the above' because there might be a 100% response to that. It is given we enjoy the bra as a whole.
Hugs and Smiles,
Tiffany
Hi Tiffany,
You are absolutely correct, "all of the above" would certainly garner a lot of votes. Here's my take on the different parts of the Bra.
the band: as you say, the feeling you get as it wraps around you is marvelous. I prefer bras with back hooks. Out of the about 40 bras I have, most have two or three hooks, a few with no hooks (they must have been on a clearance sale), a few with one hook, and a couple with four hooks.
the cups: ah, the lacier the better. While I have breast forms, they sit unused the majority of the time. I prefer bralettes that encase my natural breast development (albeit pretty small). I prefer cups that have inserts with padding that can be removed and put back in depending on the top I'll be wearing and the loo0k I'm trying to achieve.
the straps: I do have a fondness for the straps. Especially if they ever so slowly start slipping off the shoulder and down the arm; that feels really nice. When I go for my daily walks, I do like the ability to catch a glimpse of the lacy cups and the straps.
So I voted for straps, because I couldn't pick one part and I felt straps might get the least amount of votes and they are deserving of at least some votes. I know a bizarre reason. But heck, this is just for fun anyway.
Have a great weekend, Hugs, Krista.
I love the feeling of the band the best, but a microscopic 2nd was the cups. However, I love the band because of the way it feels as it hugs my body. I love it.

At this time I've got a sports bra and a regular bra but the regular is for a cup D so that's not really helpful without filling. The sports-bra is tight and gives a nice feeling of presence, the regular bra is a bit too tight with a metal portion at the underside of the cup, not a big fan of those.
Personally I like the cup most, it makes me see/feel almost like I've got actual breasts.
My vote was band but the real answer is everything, and finally accepting myself enough to where one and enjoy it! With breastforms heavy enough to add just a little pull on the shoulder straps.

Lola,
I agree, everything. So you just started to wear a bra? When did you except yourself and started wearing?
For myself it was wearing a bra and forms before venturing out into the pink fog and getting lost, then finding myself in this wonderful world of crossdressing.
Tiffany
Felicia,
The sports bras do contact nicely with the chest. I wear one once in awhile without forms.
Kay,
My thoughts exactly, hugs the body. A free hug anytime one needs one.
Krista,
Yeah, we can't leave out the straps. They are important, they're needed to hold up the boobs. It is nice to notice a strap slipping and it needs a little adjusting especially in public. Oops, did that happen accidently or on purpose? Hmmm.
Jillian,
Yes, the bra is there for support and it is the total package that makes wearing one so enjoyable. My wife asks me 'how can you wear one to bed, I need to remove mine by the end of the day?'. I say 'because I don't have boobs all the time and I can remove mine anytime'.
It's a compression thing. Cups if I'm going for looks, but for comfort, the bands. So for compression, the best piece I have is an unshaped spandex sport top, something worn over a bra as there's no pads. Even though there's compression, I feel more free.
Hi Tiffany, interesting question! You make a strong case for the band! It does feel like a hug. I voted cups. I love the feel of the underwire beneath my breasts and the soft material covering them. So sensual. My fav go to bra is white lace with décolletage trim. So femme. So sexy to me. Hugs, Debbie Lynn (she/her)
Well, that's a little complicated. I gave in to a long time desire to crossdress and bought a few things last summer. I loved it and decided to buy a pair of breast forms and a bra. During this time in my journey I would dress and feel so good but after I'd feel so guilty for having dressed. The acceptance of myself as a crossdresser happened after I joined this group and learned that I am not alone being hetero and still enjoying dressing and being feminine occasionally. I don't underdress that much, maybe a pair of panties a couple times a week. And I only fully dress a few times a month but when I do I love it. I only dress when I can take the time to fully enjoy and embrace my femme side. When I do I love all of it, the bras, panties, stockings, shoes, makeup on my face, lashes wigs...all equally.
I voted for the cups, but it was a difficult choice. I love the whole feel of a bra, just like you described. But it is the look of the cups filled with my forms which I love the most. The look, the way they bounce is what makes me feel so feminine.

Hi Tiffany.
Everything!!!!....
For me anyway.....none of them would be any good without the other two
the weight in the cups, the hugg of the band and.....the twang!!! of those straps...they just all go together perfectly, and all do the most wonderful job!!!!
