I've been umming & ahhing over silicone breastplates for years now but with the new year sales I thought I would take the plunge & go for it.
There are so many to choose from but I decided I wanted quality over price if I was going to do it. This narrowed the choices down to Roanyer or Eyung which looked to be the best that I found. I eventually went for the Eyung one as it had free shipping & was slightly cheaper. I would say at this point that there is no way I would have paid full price for this & I don't think that they can ever be worth £400 plus.
So what was the whole experience like? Firstly, the dealings I had with the company (through Amily Dong) were exceptional. I ordered the 9th Gen long neck, size E. I Initially ordered the wrong colour but a quick E mail & they changed to the right one with no fuss. Placing the order was a bit of a faff but that may have just been my system or maybe how it interacted with the Ali Express system so I can't fault Eyung for that. Sizing is a bit tricky as there are no guidelines on the site so I contacted them for advice. I am a 39" chest & they advised the size XL.
The shipping time was also very good & it arrived a week ahead of schedule which, considering it came all the way from China is impressive. I've ordered stuff in the UK which has taken longer to get here. The packaging was sufficient but not impressive though. I have seen things online which apparently turn up in a nice box which can then be used for storage. This was just a plain cardboard box with a plastic bag in it. By no means a deal breaker but that may be because of the heavily reduced price so I guess that's fair enough.
Onto the breastplate itself then. First thing I noticed when the package arrived was the weight. These are HEAVY! They are silicone filled with an air pocket to reduce the weight for comfort but picking the box up I was surprised just how weighty they were. Once I had them on though they weren't so bad as the weight is a bit more spread out. As for the fit, I think that the XL was probably about right for comfort although I can feel it pull off slightly when leaning forwards. Perhaps the L would have been snugger but then that might have been too tight to wear for any length of time so overall, it's a thumbs up on that. The only real issue is the neck which is a bit too floppy in places making the whole thing look a bit weird so I may have to trim that down & cover the neckline with a scarf or necklace. This particular model has a "flocked" inside which is supposed to reduce heat build up which seems to be one major complaint with breastplates. I must say that I didn't experience any overheating so this seems to be an effective if not complete solution as taking it off at the end of the day was a bit challenging Even with the flocking it does tend to stick & eventually I had to ask for assistance to pull the back up & over my head. Colour wise they are a pretty good match for my skin tone so I'm glad I made that change.
As for the size E, Blimey! My previous experience with forms has been that they are usually a bit smaller than advertised. I have a pair which are supposedly a C cup but are really a B. Wanting to go bigger this time I went for an E expecting to get something closer to a D. Not so. These are definitely an E! They aren't quite comedy breasts but they are certainly BIG. For drag use they would be great but I'm not sure I would want to go out wearing them, they would certainly attract attention. In retrospect I should have ordered D's but that's my fault not their's. I'll leave it to you to decide whether you would want that attention but it would certainly get you noticed. There is an impressive amount of jiggle available with these & they look pretty realistic & with their perky nipples I have to say I love the look, with the exception of the neck issue I mentioned earlier. Going up & down stairs they bounce very well (so I have been going up & down the stairs a lot today)
In conclusion then, would I recommend these? Absolutely, with one condition, choose your cup size wisely if you want to venture out into the world wearing them. I have had it on for 6 hrs & it hasn't been a problem at all so if you feel the need to go braless then these could be just the girls you are looking for.
I hope that if you are considering buying a breastplate that this will be of some help in making your decision a bit more informed & I would love to hear other opinions & experiences on the topic'

Hey Sasha, interesting and informative post, although I'm currently just looking for my first set of forms. But what happened to the panties bit of your post? xx
@chrisfp99 I knew this would happen but it was just a play on the album title. TBH I don't think that a review of panties would have much to offer though anyway LOL
Sasha
@sashabennett - great album and quite apt because he purposely stood otuside a shop that specialised in “TV and Stagewear”. Very progressive !
He also has a line that I love and always use “ All I want for my birthday - is another Birthday"
Very informative post and thanks for sharing
Jillian
@justjillian Thanks, I hope it helps. I'm kind of over birthdays though. Already had far too many for my liking
@sashabennett I was actually thinking of doing a breast plate. Mainly for the cleavage that’s easier to get with one of these. I appreciate your advice and I’ll be sure to watch the cup size. I don’t need a black eye 😂😂😂
@sashabennett I find there is nothing better than "word of mouth" endorsements from satisfied customers...as well as unsatisfied, when it comes to products that could be expensive, yet so desirable to own...thank you so much, Sasha, for writing about and sharing your personal shopping experience. I've done my own "online" research and know I would definitely LOVE to purchase a set and enjoy all the benefits that you have described, and yet, what exactly is holding me back....??? I can count on "one hand" how often I've been able to "be Tiny", over the last several months; the privacy I require and the opportunities available for me to take full advantage of ownership, at this time in my life would make it so difficult to justify this purchase. For now, my lovely forms will have to do...but please know, I envy you, and all the others here who are happy to have their breastplates and wish you total "heavenly" pleasure when you are out and about with them on....ENJOY...!!!
@tinytinkerbell It is something of an investment & if you are unable to use it then perhaps an unwise one. For some it would add a certain realism that is otherwise difficult to achieve but I must admit that it's more of an added extra for me. My forms are much more of a natural size but only useful when covered. It's great to have the option for cleavage & go braless from time to time though & I have very much enjoyed them. I hope you get the opportunity to try them out one day.
Sasha
@sashabennett the thought of going braless "makes me crazy"...feel like getting one is a MUST now...hahaha...I have this perfect sundress that I would LOVE to show off in...but for now, it remains just that...a "DREAM"...again, I'm so envious...enjoy yours to the fullest...!!! 
@tinytinkerbell I just use a simple breast form from e-bay with breast form adhesive from dress tech and after 20 to 30 minutes I can go braless for as long as I want. I use a b cup form
@rholtman96 Thanks for sharing your suggestion, Lacy....my problem might be the weigh of my silicon forms, I'm plus-size and they fit my 48c-size bras perfectly and well as compliment my "total" look in proportion...I've tried the Hollister brand #7730 spray adhesive recommended by many breast form stores but was not happy with the results, so for now, I'll just have deal with the status quo...!!! To purchase a plate, or even a lighter, smaller pair of forms at this time, is an expense I cannot consider...fortunately, I have what I have and "life will goes on"...!!!
Hi Sasha - Thank you for informative article - I've no experience with plates so very interesting for me 
Vivien
Hi Sasha,
I bought the Royaner E cup breastplate. It is a challenge to put on and take off, but I have done it twice. The cleavage is impressive but the neck rolls down a lot. You need either a large necklace or scarf to hide the edge. I haven’t worn it out in public yet but it should be interesting when I do. I have a low cut blouse to wear with it. Hope you have fun with yours.
Kerri
Hi Kerri, I found the neck kind of bunches up & looks like a bit of a turkey neck rather than rolling up. I think I will probably end up cutting it down but I'll leave it for a while & see how I feel, once it's gone there's no going back so I want to be sure. It does give good cleave though as you say! & I will most certainly be having fun with them. You are braver than me if you are going out in it though. I wish you luck with that.
Sasha
Dear Sasha,
I am too an advocate for breastplates! I am thankful you decided to splurge and purchase the silicon one, as my first 2 breastplates were cotton filled and far from ideal. I faced a similar problem with the over sizing, especially with the cotton variety. They barely filled the cups as they were overly perky and ironically were closer to breast with silicon implants 😆 The silicon filled ones are much better and mold into the bra cups nicely. The 9th Gen ones are more pricey, but definitely worth it! The silicon is much more stretchy and runs a lower risk of tearing.
Just a note for fellow sisters whom are reading and contemplating buying a breastplate:
Choose one size smaller as they run larger.
Purchasing via aliexpress as it is much cheaper than most commercial sites, for both forms and breast plates. Please do drop me a direct message if you need advice and help with navigating the confusing layout.
I didn't want to size up all my (cute) lingerie, so I ended up sizing down my girls 🙃
Thank you so much for sharing Sasha, I feel many crossdressers do not have good experience with breastplates because of lack of information before making the hefty investment.
Gracefully and Glamorously,

@bluestbelladonna I found that real information was rather thin on the ground. There are plenty of "reviews" on youtube but they mostly consist of just showing them off with no useful content. As there is no way I am going on video I hoped that I could make some small difference here.
I never really considered the cotton option as I'm all about the bounce & I couldn't see how that would work with cotton. Now I have them I think it was the right choice. I hope yours works out well too
Sasha
Dear Sasha,
Yes! I struggled greatly on that front too. They seem to be promotions rather than reviews, or maybe tutorials at best. I agree the bounce for me was the deal breaker, especially if one is upgrading from forms. I believe the cotton breastplate would be good for theatrical performances due to the lightweight nature.
Thank you for creating this topic, im sure our information has benefited many to make a better purchasing decision.
With all my support and appreciation,
The Bluest Belladonna
Trust me when I say I have had my experiences with breastplates. I started with a D from Eyung on aliexpress and I was hooked. I have always loved huge boobs so I went for it - jumped to a G cup. Talk about bounce but that wasn't the end. The journey for larger breastplates continues. All were bought from aliexpress BTW. I went for the K cup and I was not unhappy with the product - far from it. They are my go-to forms for around the house. Not done yet. I wanted even bigger ones - just for fun and boy is it fun. I went and got S cups that were cotton filled - they stick straight out so I have to wear a bra to make them look 'natural". Of course I decided to drop some $ and got a marvelous Z cup breastplate on sale for $250. Talk about heavy - they weight 25 pounds! What a magnificent set of boobs though. I have never ventured out wearing them - still in the closet - but I have great fun getting dressed up!
@danielad Lol the more cleavage the bigger the smile. with Z cups you must look like the grinch smiling ear to ear. Did not know they came that big OMG.. 🙂 Cheers RC
@river They look fantastic but unrealistic - I don't care about the realism - I can wear my D's for realism. I love the way they bounce and jiggle. I have some pics of me wearing them but I haven't read up on rules about pics. Better go do that now.
@river Finding a bra - tough - but Amazon came through. As for tops - thank heavens for elastic. Being a closet crossdresser means I don't have a lot of going out clothing - most of what I wear are sexy lingerie with my high heels.
Hi Daniela, I have also liked big boobs for ages which is why I went for the E's but a Z!!!!! good grief. How do you even get through doorways? I keep banging into things as it is so I can't imagine how you cope with those puppies 🤣 Venturing out in them would certainly get you noticed alright so I can see why you haven't. I just hope you have a large & sturdy closet. As for the fun factor, that's what it's all about so you go girl
Sasha
There were a few instances where I turned around too fast and knocked things all over the place. Wearing a nice supportive bra - they don't quite bounce as much 😪 but I can "control" them better. It is my fantasy to get dressed and go out wearing these girls to my nearest Wal-Mart and watch the shoppers crash their carts trying to figure out what they just saw walking by. 
As others have mentioned, the neck does tend to roll down but I have found some nice chokers that hold the neck piece in place.
Whitegirl, i dont have breastplate, my bra goes to DD, did not went out yet, but my wife is very supportive and accept my clothing in the house as often as i want
