If you don't want to wait a minute longer to have breast forms of your own, for pennies apiece, this might be for you!
The back story:
When I started dressing, I found I really wasn't that interested in filling a bra with socks till it was "out to here." Through my male life, I was always partial to small breasts. Big breasts were not that attractive to me. I found the few women I dated who had large breasts to be a bit awkward, almost intimidating. They didn't seem erotic to me. Maybe that was an indication of my desire for my own smaller breasts.
I dressed in a skirt or dress several times a week (for release) through most of my life. Rarely did I have an interest in breasts or breast forms or stuffing a bra. Even after I allowed myself to explore my full cd experience (starting about 3 years ago) with wig and bra, I was not interested in the silicone breast forms that I saw on CDH when I joined here. Then I went to the Breast Forms Store and looked around one night. I decided that on this one particular evening I NEEDED breast forms. I didn't want to spend oodles of money, and I didn't want to wait for deliver. I wanted them NOW!
I'm a handy kinda guy (even in a skirt) and I decided there had to be something in the workshop that would work as breast forms. I walked from the house to the workshop and began snooping around. I found some sponges to carve up, but they did Not work into a decent shape with a pair of scissors. I tossed them into the garbage. I found a spray can of expanding foam, thinking they would hold a good shape, but I didn't have a form to squirt them into. Besides, the foam becomes stiff, and I didn't want to wait for it to dry.
I kept digging and dragging things out into the light until I hit paydirt. Dust masks.
Think about it! Dust masks are the right shape and the right size! Actually, I trimmed them down a bit to get rid of the metal part, but it was most of the mask left to fill out the form. I took them back to the house, found some old socks to put the mask into, put another sock inside and in the hollow of the mask, slid the upper of the sock inside as well, and VOILA! I had breast forms!
I have since purchased two pair of silicone breast forms (one pair of A and one pair of B cups), but I still have my homemade breast forms and I'm wearing them right now!
The huge advantage of the mask breast forms is that they are firm but lightweight. I love to wear stretchy camisoles that have a bra shelf, and I can just slip these mask breast forms into the cami and they stay pretty much in place, without sliding around or falling out.
The disadvantage is that they don't jiggle, but you can imagine that A cup or B cup is not going to jiggle all that much, lol. So not an issue for me.
You can replace the socks with knee high stockings for a lighter affect, but those are a bit tight and can distort the shape.
I've also bought some bra pads that are used in swimsuits that cover the ribbed surface of the mask, and provide a beautifully smooth appearance no matter how clingy the top. They also add almost a full cup size
I still want to try the expanding foam in the mask at some point, but in the meantime, I have my delightful homemade breast forms.
Anyone have another alternative to silicone breast forms? If you read this, and you try making your own, tell me how it works for you!
I have tried a few things. The first thing I did was try to find the larges balloons I could use and then fill them part full of water. Was great worked and where fairly flexible and jiggled. But would leak a little water out. I work in a lab so I found some thickening agent for water it is the same thing that was used in the toys kids get that make the water turn to gelatin. Any ways I used this in the balloons and it worked great was my solution for many years. I have heard later that some people get the gelatin ice packs you can purchase at the store. They used the gel out of the packet to fill a balloon or a bag. My biggest problem was to find a proper sized and shaped balloon. Then online I found the solution from a you tube video. This way does not cost a lot about 40 US dollars. I purchased the adhesive silicone bra woman use for backless and strapless gowns ( I get at Walmart or Target). They work great to pull what little skin you have together and give cleavage. Then for a larger size since that will only give you about an A cup, I use the silicone enhancers you can get at like Walmart or Target. Woman use them to give and extra size. If you look at a couple of my pictures you can see my cleavage is done by this. I have also heard some use a couple three pair of the Adhesive bras stacked up and get a good cleavage and a nice size C or a little more with like three pairs. I now have a pair of silicone breast forms now but I use the adhesive bra and silicone enhancers anytime I wear a low cut top. Hope this helps you girls out.
