.1. Have you ever worn a bra? How was the first time? nearly always wear one. First time was about age 13, when I tried on my Mom's bra she left in a hamper. It was exciting and compelling. I kept returning, trying hard to quit but never succeeding.
2. Do you have your own bras? How many do you have? Yes, about 50
3. Do you wear a bra every day or just sometimes? Nearly every day, aside from days I may be meeting friends, family, or doctor visits aside from my endocrinologist, for whom I always fully dress. Sometimes wear a bra under my nightie at night.
4. Have you ever worn a bra under men’s clothing? Nearly always
5. Do you wear a bra only crossdressed or on other occasions? nearly always, dressed or not
6. What is your favorite style and color? most of my bras are unpadded... some underwire, some not, some part of bra/panty sets... various colors..white, black, red, blue, pink, beige mostly. A few are convertible. I prefer bras that clasp in the back, at least two columns of hooks and preferably 3. Generally 38B but some larger and some 36C.and some 38A when I don't want boobs to show or when I just want to enjoy the ability to fill the cups without enhancers or forms. With B cups I usually wear breast enhancers rather than forms; recently bought a couple sheer bras that look real sexy with the enhancers, and feel very sensuous. I usually wear forms with C cups...don't care to be larger than C. The style and color depends on the blouse or dress. Colors of my panties and bra go with my outerwear.
I first wore one of my mother's bras when I was about 14. For some reason she had left it hanging over the banister and I felt this incredible compulsion to put it on. It was the start of my crossdressing journey.
I own over 20 bras: from Calvin Klein racer back bralettes to see-through mesh underwired bras. Like nearly everyone else I love bras.
I wear a bra maybe 2/3 times a week obviously when I'm dressed but also under male clothes. For underdressing. I normally wear a bralette of some sort but if I'm going somewhere not too near home I may say sod it and wear a more structured bra.
My favourite bras at the moment are Intimissimi soft cotton triangle bras. They are incredibly comfortable, all-day bras and since the cups are quite stretchy I can wear them with and without breast forms. The other advantage of these bras is that they can be converted into a racer back bra with hooks on the straps at the back of the bra. I have sloping shoulders and I find that bras straps on conventional bras nearly always fall down but not with these bras in their racer back mode. I'm not now so interested in how sexy a bra is. I'm more concerned with trying to mirror what most women wear on a daily basis and I have noticed that more and more women seem to be abandoning underwired and padded styles, turning instead to non-wired, soft-cup bras. With modern fabrics, these less structured bras now offer almost the same level of support as underwired bras.
1 -Yes, it was when I was young and it was exciting, put it on out of curiosity and liked how it felt
2- Yes, 9
3- I wear a bra most days, I usually dress in the morning and sometimes during the day or evening and most always wear a bra when dressed. I do have a couple dresses that are off shoulder that I don't wear a bra with.
4- I do occasionally, mostly in the morning taking the dog for a walk under my male clothes. I don't at other times as I worry about "bra bumps" or people giving me a hug and feeling the straps. May sound silly but my wife and I have an agreement that I keep my dressing in the house so that is another reason.
5- almost always when dressed, as I said occasionally when I take the dog for a walk in the early morning under my male clothes.
6- I own a variety of bras - 1 red lace padded bra my wife gave me (my first one); 2 front closure one in black with embroidery and the other blue; 2 t-short bras, one grey , one lavender; one pull over in beige with convertible straps and the other a lacy maroon racer back; 1 black bralette and a white camisole

1. Have you ever worn a bra? How was the first time? Yes. It was magical. At that point in time, I knew I wanted to do my best to develop my breasts. Started with progesterone cream and supplements. Was able to develop them to respectfully fill a C cup.
2. Do you have your own bras? How many do you have? Yes. Maybe a dozen or so.
3. Do you wear a bra every day or just sometimes?
First thing I do every morning is put on a bra.
4. Have you ever worn a bra under men’s clothing?
yes. Almost every day, but usually not all day. Depends on how visible it is under whatever drab top I’m wearing.
5. Do you wear a bra only crossdressed or on other occasions? I wear a bra as often as I can and with whatever clothing I’m wearing. But always wear one when I dress.
6. What is your favorite style and color? My favorite style is underwire push up bras. They give me the shape and cleavage I desire. Most men and some women have wide set breasts. A good fitting push up bra with a wide band will push the girls front and center the way they should be.
1. Yes, the first time was 32 years ago when my late wife took me up to the highest level and transformed me into quite a passable woman with the full works: started with full-scale depilation, lotions and creams, ladies' underwear, full outfit of dress and heels, make up and wig (and even feminine perfume and some costume jewellery). [She was extremely talented in the make up department and also mixing and matching accessories].
This was the first time I had on a bra: it was exciting but also scary as it made me feel "trapped" in the feminine identity. I knew I could eventually go back to being an average man, but it would somehow be a "process" and something deep inside of me would ever after remain female - rather like a loss of virginity.
2. For years, I used my wife's bras when dressing up with her, but she was a smaller size so they always felt restrictive, unless they were older and worn and stretched.
In recent years, I acquired my own bras in the correct size and they feel really affirming; I have only three, but intend expanding my collection to around 10.
3. I don't see the point of putting on a bra unless I intend using my breast forms and getting properly dressed up as a woman, so that's definitely not every day.
4. See Point 3.
5. I wear a bra only when crossdressed (and only when wearing dresses, blouses or other ladies' tops). .
6. I prefer wireless, padded cups, two or three back-fastening hooks and lace trim. Preferably an unambiguously feminine colour - not loud or floral though - usually something like burgundy, violet, mustard or teal, etc.
Love,
Katherine
I'm intrigued to hear that you've been able to develop bigger breasts (and slightly envious, too).
Years ago, I studied the thing (diet and herbal supplements and creams, etc), but at that stage of my life was not ready to take such a bold step.
My life situation has also changed since then: my very accepting wife passed away six years ago and the new lady in my life seems to overwhelmingly like everything that is masculine about me.
I may have missed the boat.
Hugs,
Katherine
1. Yes, amazing
2. yes, too many
3. Yes
4. yes

It was when I was very young and I am sure I was thrilled and scared I would be caught
2. Do you have your own bras? How many do you have?
probably 15 or 20
3. Do you wear a bra every day or just sometimes?
Most days

My favorite bra style changes but lately, i luv a black, unlined mesh demi balconette. I am blessed to have two real b cup girls and like to let them breathe and peek thru the top I’m wearing.

1. I wear bras every time I get dressed which is not as often as I would like, but at least once a week on average. I don't particularly remember the first time I wore a bra, but the first bra I purchased was just ...a tad too small. I leaerned quickly how to accurately measure my bra size and have been able to purchase far better fitting bras
2. Yes, I have my own bras including a braselette/cincher. I have maybe 5 or 6, but when I do dress, it's usually a choice between about 3. Do you have your own bras? How many do you have?
3. I only wear a bra when I have time to dress which isn't nearly as often as I would like, although there are a few times here and there where I do go braless.
4. Yes, I have definitely worn a bra under my male clothing, but it's been some time now, and I don't have much reason to do that anymore.
5. So, yes, I pretty much just wear a bra when I dress.
6. My favorite color is a deep blue (for which I have matching panties). I also like black (for certain moods) and my beige one is the best fitting one.

I have not the right bra for me yet. But I do enjoy wearing a slip which has a more comfortable cupping effect and doesn't bind. However, if I'm going to wear my forms, I have to wear a bra
Just my thoughts......
I always feel that wearing a bra is 100% a fetish unless you are also wearing breastforms. All other items of female attire serve a function but a bra doesn't unless you have boobs to put in them.
Bras are also often incredibly uncomfortable partucualalry in warmer weather or climates. When it's not for practical reasons why wear one whenost women are saying to take theirs off .
Any thoughts?
I am always fascinated by comments like yours as it reminds me how different we all are. I do not consider wearing a bra a fetish, even though I have very little to put into one. The term "fetish" has a different meaning, psychologically; it is more than just a preference and is generally associated with a sexual need. I see other articles of female clothing, makeup, and expression in a similar way. While I realize that sexual needs may be met or aroused by all of this, in different degrees or perhaps not at all, I think there is something far more than that for most crossdressers, something that increases over time even if the sexual part of it decreases.
I don't find a bra uncomfortable. I WANT to feel the tightness of the band and straps and everything that reminds me I am wearing one. I realize I am not like most women because I realize I am still a male, even if fully dressed, but I want to experience to the extent able what a woman experiences. I may not fully understand why it is necessary for me to wear a bra, but I do know that the reason is not the same as that of a woman.
The point of my recent survey was in part to examine how we differ, with no one item gathering even 30% of the votes for what one MUST have if limited to one item. When one peels the onion, our differences are more pronounced than our similarities. That is hard to assimilate, since I think everyone has a tendency to project onto others the experiences and sensations and needs they can personally relate to. The worldwide community cannot even agree on the definition of "crossdresser."
1. Have you ever worn a bra? How was the first time?
Yes. The first time was when I was 11 or 12 and I wore one of my mother's bras I found in the hamper. It was so exciting that first time I could hardly breath.
2. Do you have your own bras? How many do you have?
Yes, I have eight. Most are full-coverage, rear-closure, wireless in size 42 or 44 B, depending on the brand. All are either black or white, although I prefer them in black.
3. Do you wear a bra every day or just sometimes?
I don't wear a bra everyday, however, I wear them frequently while lounging around the house in the evening. Fortunately, my wife is very tolerant and doesn't object.
4. Have you ever worn a bra under men’s clothing?
Yes, a couple dozen times over the years, but I mostly wear them just around the house.
5. Do you wear a bra only crossdressed or on other occasions?
I have only been fully-dressed four times, so I mostly wear them at other times.
6. What is your favorite style and color?
My favorite style is a full-coverage Playtex or Bali wireless bra, size 42 B, in black.
