So here's what I'm wondering: do I go forward with breast forms and a pocket bra, or try the so-called herbal remedies for male breast growth? Does anyone have any experience using these herbal supplements?
I've been doing herbals for almost a year now.
I can just fill an A cup, though that may be due to flabby pectorals. long it takes to naturally go through puberty.
Hi Penny: How are things developing? Any luck with the herbals you've been using? Any new remedies that you've tried? I know this sounds silly, but I have been doing daily massages with a nice body lotion, and there seems to be some nice (but barely noticeable) development. I'd say I'm now between an A and B cup, but of course, this is probably just wishful thinking and/or flabby pectorals. It is fun to massage them, though.
Congratulations on your success, Melissa! Between A and B sounds like more than just flabby pecs. How do they feel when walking or wearing a bra that fits? How do they look on you? I sort of fell off the wagon for the summer as far as massaging goes, due to burning the midnight oil on other projects. I am getting back into it though.
Judging by shape and feel my boobs aren't flabby pecs anymore. They fill my bralettes pretty good and are very noticeable if they have padding to help. So I guess the herbs work and I agree that massaging feels real good 😁. I just wish they would grow faster. It has been a little hard this summer as both my kids are home and underfoot. Very little opportunity to dress though I still underdress almost every day. Now that the school year has started I'll have more time to enjoy. And with their schedules overlapping in a convenient way, there might even be some hope that I might be able to venture out en femme. Especially when I have my weekly visit with my therapist. I want her to meet Penny in full form, but until now the logistics of doing that with stealth have been nearly impossible. How are you otherwise?
Hi Penny: Thanks for the update. I sometimes wonder if I'm just imagining real woman's boobs, as opposed to flabby man boobs. My wife thinks it's the latter. Funny you mention going to see your therapist dressed en femme. Our marriage therapist suggested that I see her next time fully dressed. I'm reluctant to do that only because I have not yet gotten rid of my neatly trimmed beard, hence no makeup yet. I would, however, visit her fully dressed and made up (wig, makeup, dress, undies etc) once I can make the move and get rid of the beard. Hope all is well with you. XXOO Melissa
About a year now off and on, It might be just wishful thinking but i feel some glandular growth thats soft so its not muscle. It makes my nipples tingle and want to be rubbed. And there is some validity in the research. But very slow. Forcing gynomastia. (Spelling?)
At least i like the tingle and rubbing. A very small amount of overhang as well with a simple
Elastic waist band sewed and placed under them really makes the girls
Look ok.
Hi Shirley: I'll have to try that. I must admit that, while my goal is to see if I can increase breast size and shape with massage, it feels really good to be playing with them and in particular rubbing the moisturizer into my nipples.
I have been trying a liquid rub on oil.....it seems to make them swell a bit when applied but I don't think they are actually growing. Would like to know and hear from anyone if this idea works. I think that proper meds from a doctor would be best....working up nerve to ask my doctor.

I understand that real gyno in men is easy to detect by a doctor. That manual exam will put to rest the debate.
I see this is a fairly old topic, But I cannot find anywhere else to share my experience with this.
I started with some online Products here. I was a flat 38. I used them for for 6 months. I cut out caffine as they said and followed the instructions on the bottles.
Observations:
Conclusions: VERY expensive option. I went from a 38 to a 40 using this product over 6 months. Cost was close to $700 (2 $150-3month packs and about 6 extra liquid bottles)
I am not looking for instant bust, because my male self would have too much explaining to do, but the changes to date have been less than impressive to me. Going from a 38 to a 41,75 circumference may sound impressive, but the projection from the chest is less than .5". For a visual, take the tape you measure with, Measure your chest at the nipple line and then add 3.5" to the tape and push out the tape at the nipples until the tape is as tight as it was when you started the measurements. Most bra sizing charts will tell you that a difference of 5" between the nipple measurement and the below bust measurement is an "A" cup. I was hoping to get to that in about a year. I am at 9 months and only slightly above halfway.
Hi Patrichia,
At the risk of sounding like a broken record (think wonky streaming service, you youngsters),
if any of these supplements were really effective, it would be all over this forum, with multiple rave reviews.
Hasn't happened.
And it's usually expensive.
Still, as they say "You pays your money and you takes your choice"

Agreed. The catch is that they promise the world and there are very few honest reviews. Unfortunately the site sponsor is one of the most expensive options.
long and short of it is that they do seem to work, but the results are neither fast or dramatic. The 4-6 month time frame for about 2” of circumference seems to be about what I have seen from two products. I’ll update on the third one.
To stimulate breast growth, you need to use products which act as androgen blockers (stop testosterone production, or conversation into its active component).

Hi Melissa!
Good question. Never hurts to ask, no matter how many times it comes up. There's always something new to learn!
I don't take any supplements to promote breast growth. Don't need to. I'm naturally a 40 C/D. My band is 40" and my bust is just over 44". I'm now jiggling when I walk. Am I lucky?
Sure, as a girl I say "FA!". But as a boy, not so much. Funny, the more I come out as a girl, the more I closet myself as a guy. Ironic, isn't it?
My diet is probably the culprit along with genetics. There are many food that promote breast growth. There's lots of info on the Weeb about it and I can "tic" most boxes.
Also, some prescribed medications may add to my breast growth. I won't mention my personal ones, but my goodness! there are lots of pills that do this!
In all likelihood, I have gynecomastia. My doctor and nurse-daughter confirm the preliminary findings based on "The Squeeze Test". It has two parts and is a comparative test. The first, is to squeeze an inch of belly fat down near your side. You can squeeze quite hard and you shouldn't feel much pain. Part 2, pinch your breast about an inch on either side of your areola. It shouldn't take much pressure to feel pain. And it HURTS! If it hurts, then you probably have breast tissue. (Btw, me and my daughter had a hoot looking for bras!).
Sure, I love them! But I do need to examine myself regularly. Doctor's orders!
Good luck, Melissa!

I would encourage everyone to never take someone else's prescription medicine. That is playing with fire.
