Has anyone actually ever worn those expensive latex body suits designed to make you look like a real naked woman would look --- except made of rubber---LOL? Also I have seen similar vaginal prosthesis designed to give us girls the look of female genitalia. I have never gotten those items my self because they were too expensive and seem too difficult to put on and then remove. I also thought they must be a nightmare to wear for any extended period of time. But that's just me. Perhaps you have and had a good experience?
@maureen76 a body suit is definitely not for me, I do have a breastplate but it can be quite tricky to put on - especially in warm weather. It can also be quite uncomfortable when it's hot. The one advantage is that you get amazing cleavage.
Another problem is that they do tend to rip around the arms and sides. I have recently reverted to using breast forms just inserted into a bra which although don't allow me to wear v necked tops they do have a lovely natural feeling bounce.
@blondie747 Hi Gina---that is true--the big advantage of a breast plate is the natural looking cleavage you get----but then weighed against the disadvantages it would seem to be a wash---Hugs Maureen
I have recently reverted to using breast forms just inserted into a bra which although don't allow me to wear v necked tops they do have a lovely natural feeling bounce.
Have you tried taping to get cleavage? Depending on your moobs, it can be very effective and realistic.
Look up some useful tutorials on-line.
@maureen76 I haven't worn the body suit, but I have worn some of the latex dresses and tights to see how they feel. They are form-fitting and difficult to get to move past the wider parts of the body like the shoulders for the narrower parts of the garment. One thing I learned right away is to talcum powder the entire inside of the garment, so you don't have to fight it sticking to your skin. If you have any body hair, as I do on my back, it gets pulled as you are putting it on. Once I got it on, I was comfortable in it. I think it might get hot inside if you don't watch out where you will be wearing it. I have only had one of the dresses on for about an hour which was not bad, but I was at home in the air conditioning.
@maureen76 the price is the biggest drawback for me. I've browsed for a few online, and they look fantastic. The price does range quite a bit and like all things you likely get what you pay for. I would love to see these in person first to see the quality, and also try them on to see how they look before buying. But i suspect for hygiene reasons they wouldn't let you try before you buy. So, i guess i'll just have to keep up my exercise and diet and try to mold what nature gave me.
@maureen76 I love my breastplate though after 6 months of careful use I finally tore the back. So I cut it to only have the neck and front. though I need to use a bra or corset all the time now its much cooler as they do get sweaty. I use alot of body powder and that helps alot. but a whole body suit OMG no way. Cheers RC
@river I've repaired my torn breastplate with body tape and also use my leg makeup to give them my skin tone.
@firefly Thats great advice thank you. I will need a new one as I already cut it but next time.. Body Tape. excellent! Cheers RC
@maureen76. I have purchased a few of the breast plates and I love it.. it's comfortable and a little bit of talc powder it will slide on, . . I'm a D cup but I go for an E with certain dresses. The skin tones are always off on most silicone forms, I can fix some of it with makeup but that is only for a special occasion since it takes awhile and it is hot once you commit to it especially if your moving around a lot but cloths do fit better and it makes everything more uniform and .. it's worth it when you look in the mirror. I can't get it off off if my nails are on though lol ... bodysuits are definitely a struggle in any hot weather but perfect for photoshoots or comicon conventions if you can stay cool.... Def have a great night out there!
@rightheel2024 Thanks for the detailed feedback May----alot of good advice from a girl who had "been there"---Hugs Maureen
@maureen76 I don't think I will try a bodysuit. I have one breastplate and three different breast forms.

I think I know the body suits you are talking about. One I bought is silicone.
To be specific, the one I have is not a full body suit, but upper torso with boobs and the lower torso with a penetrable vagina and a pee catheter.
I don't have anything good to say about it, I wasted about $500 for both and I wish I had my money back, as I could've bought alot of skirts or swimsuits for the amount I paid.
As for putting it on, you have to take your time, you can't rush it as the silicone is very grippy against the skin so you have to put it on slowly.
Does it get warm ? You bet. If anyone insists on buying and wearing it, do it when it is -30 out because it is like being encased in thick rubber, not breathable. It does have golf ball dimpled on the inside and the claim is it helps cool you down, and I did find it does help to some degree.
Taking it off it also a chore, especially the top torso. Again you have to go slow.
The colour of the silicone is another issue. Most cases these things come in 3 shades, and it is either too light or too dark against your skin tone so it is very noticable. Plus depending on who you buy it from, the thickness of the silicone is noticable too.
The pee catheter was also difficult to put on, I assume it works as intended because i poured water thru it to make sure it worked. But wrapping the catheter itself was a challenge unless you are super small, and even then it maybe too small (the catheter).
Save your money, don't buy the suits.
I do have a silicone vagina pad which works very well and I can slip that in easily in panties, swimsuits, ... and was way cheaper then the suit.
BTW, the one I bought has been sitting in the basement closet for over 1.5 years collecting dust. Big time regret buying it.
@wendyswift Hi Wendy, Thanks for the detailed response, Your experience was pretty much what I had thought might be my experience had I bought one. The appeal is to look as much like a real woman as possible even before clothes but the reality seems to fall far short. Hugs Maureen
@maureen76 An individual with a clothing fetish may be aroused by the sight of a person wearing a particular garment, or by wearing the clothing themselves. The arousal may come from the look one achieves by wearing the clothes or the way it feels while it is being worn. In the latter case, arousal may originate from the way its fabric feels (see clothing fetish by fabric type) or from the way the garment feels and functions as a whole (restrictive clothing being an example).
Wouldn't appeal to me at all.
@chrisfp99 Hi Chrissie, I figured that it wouldn't appeal to most. Yet often when you go to CD sites you find advertisements for such things so there must be some appeal. I was just curious as to the experience that some have had. Hugs Maureen
The sound of something like that doesn't appeal at all to me, I just envisage them being a struggle to put on, worse to take off and extremely hot to wear
Hugs,

@annaredhead Hi Anna---Wendy bought one and said all those concerns are true---which just confirms the reason I have never gotten one on top of the expense of it all---Hugs Maureen
@maureen76 My right arm is pinned and doesn't have full shoulder movement. I suspect I'd find it impossible to put one on,
Hugs,
Anna x
@annaredhead yes---that would be another drawback---I suspect person would have to be pretty flexible to put one on and at my age---flexibility is something I lack---LOL--Hugs Maureen
@annaredhead well Anna---you beat me in that category--I can still do bra but always had trouble with back zip---Hugs Maureen
@annaredhead Anna, I just secure the bra at the front then swivel round. A back zipped dress is more of a problem for me as I have some issues with my upper arms but you can get a zipper puller on Amazon for peanuts.
Hugs, Chrissie xx.
@chrisfp99 I have to do that with a bra too, or generally I wear one without a fastener.
The zip puller sounds brilliant, thanks, I'll have a look for one.
Hugs,
Anna x
@annaredhead both of my arms worked just fine and I’ve never been able to fasten a bra from the rear lol. I am in the fasten in front and turn it around club lol
I do have a really pretty lace front closer with a standard back and it’s quite nice. I’m not a fan of racerbacks at all and it seems like most front closers are made that way.
@juststevie On the plus side, my left arm works as nature designed. I've bought a couple of new bras today which are rear fastening, I'll see how I get on. They're a brand that I have several seamless bras from so I am confident the fit of them will be good.
Anna x
@annaredhead I have a number of pretty Cacique bras, but I’ve honestly found the $18 vanity fair minimizer from Walmart to work best for me.
of course, if you go to Kohl’s here in the states, they sell the upscale version of the same bra for over twice as much, but they have a lot of pretty colors lol. I don’t know what it is about them, but they’re really plain and I think they seem to make me look more natural than anything else I’ve worn. the molded ones I have make the forms project a lot more than I want and although they look really pretty, they make my chest look way too big at least to me.
@juststevie I tend to keep to a fairly moderately-sized form, generally a C. Brand-wise, I get on well with Danskin, Adrienne Vittadani and Marks and Spencer.
@annaredhead I have four sets of forms. A couple sets of them are about the same size and they fit good in a 44 DD. They look good, but I think they have a little too much projection. I honestly prefer my 44 C ones or the smaller ones which would probably be more 44B I want to get a pair of huge ones. I have a 46 C Bra, I’m sure I could put some very big ones in.
My forms aren’t anything super expensive but the real big ones get pricey fast
I wish I had some of the second skin Victoria’s Secret satin bras I bought for my first wife back in the early 2000s. They command a very high price now on eBay and I’m sure cross-dressers. Seek them out more than anyone lol
@juststevie I vary from a 38B to a 40C. I choose size according to the cut of the outerwear. I tend to go larger size with an A-Line dress and smaller with a vest top or jersey dress. I am not so sure anything larger would work for me.
I've got fairly large shoulders from sport, hence wearing a larger dress size
Anna x
@annaredhead I’m 511 and I weigh about 215. I found right around the same size as you works best for me proportion wise. I really like the subtle and natural look that an every day woman in her mid 40s would look like. I definitely don’t like to stand out. I keep my make up subtle and have a fairly conservative taste in clothing. An 18 women’s seems to work best for me as far as a dress size but Lane Bryant dresses, a 14/16 fits nice and snug.
I have broad shoulders myself so usually going with the larger size prevents getting jammed up around the armpits and the chest. I have a number of Ralph Lauren Chaps dresses and even their XL is a little snug on me. They also make them in a woman’s line that have a bigger cut, I have One in a 20 and it’s a little big
I’ve definitely moved beyond the phase of buying something just because it’s pretty. If it’s sloppy on me, I don’t want it lol. It has to have a good form fit had to put back some great stuff I found at the thrift store because it was just too big.😥
@juststevie I'm just over 6'1" and about 180lbs which is weight I've put on over the last year since I stopped running long distance. My race weight was about 160 and waist 29"
The shoulders mean a UK dress size of 18 - 20 to fit shoulders. If I wear a skirt, it's a size 12 skirt.
I can pad out hips and wear a butt lifter if not wearing petticoats and clinch waist.
@annaredhead Oh my, you are fit and slender lol. I haven’t weighed that since I was in my 20s lol
My partner has a lot of long tall Sally clothes, which are all UK sizing. They seem to run two sizes smaller than US sizing does. It’s funny I wear an 18 size dress most of the time, but I can fit into size 12 jeans as long as they have some stretch to them
I bought a set of dress tech brand hip pads in the spring of this year. They are made of a medical grade silicone with a mesh molded into it to keep them rigid and from ripping. Oh my God, they are heaven and probably the closest thing I will ever get to having real curvy hips. They were just under $200, but they were worth it lol
@juststevie Unfortunately, I still eat like I'm marathon training!
I have a lot of LTS shoes, but none of their clothes. Their shoes are great, I've not got round to buying their clothes as I've found 3 brands that size and fit me consistently already.
I've had most success with butt lifter pants, so with built-in pads and a nice fabric. Equally comfortable with tights or stockings and suspenders.
@annaredhead I have seen some of their shoes on eBay and Poshmark. A size 12 M normally fits me OK. Sometimes the 12 wide is a little loose, but it just depends on the brand. If I can’t try them on or return them, I won’t buy them.
At the beginning of the year, I bought a beautiful pair of 12 1/2 Manolo Blahnick BB red heels. I wanted a pair of Manolos since watching sex and the city with my first wife back in the early 2000s lol. Unfortunately, they just did not fit my feet at all. Fortunately, I had discussed this at the onset before I even purchased them from the eBay seller and she was the sweetest lady ever. I just covered the cost to ship them back to her and put a McDonald’s gift card in the box to thank her for her time. They were such lovely shoes. I was really bummed they didn’t fit .
They do make them in a size 13, but you don’t see those around very often at all, they are all Italian sizing so it’s a rough translation size to size. It’s too bad they didn’t fit because I absolutely loved them. They were expensive, but if they would have fit, I probably would’ve bought another pair of them lol
@annaredhead If you fancy it, take the plunge and buy some of those hip pads. I think they’re fabulous and they feel so good once you have them on and adjusted.
It’s kind of like when you have your forms in and you feel them. They are the closest thing to the real thing we will probably ever have lol
They make three sizes and I should’ve bought the middle size but they were more money and these were already expensive. I think I will buy the middle size anyway though. I had concerns that my jeans and pants might not fit with them, but it’s no problem at all.
Now I just need to find something for the rear end lol I don’t have much of one
A bodysuit is definitely a no for me: my one try of a breastplate was enough to tell me I don't want to own anything of that ilk. Ironically it's in the best photos of me on here, but only because the neckline was edited out.
@finallyfiona Hi Fiona---I had thought that the breastplate might have been better than the bodysuit---but had forgotten about the problem of the neckline---good point---Hugs Maureen
@finallyfiona I assume you'd have to wear a choker or a scarf to hide the join?
Anna x
@annaredhead Yes, on most, although the one I tried had the collar right up to the jawline so you could alternatively try and hide it with makeup ... but it then tended to roll down anyway back into scarf/choker territory 🙄. Given that, probably better the scarf.
Thanks Fiona, I'd always been curious about breastplates. Interesting to hear your thoughts.
Emma x
@finallyfiona I tried one with the collar, absolute nightmare. Firstly i had to put it on then take it off again to trim the neckline as it went up to my jaw. Then i found it very restrictive for moving my head whether up or down or side to side and to top it all it was so hot to wear.
Also you had to put it on before doing any make up as it passed tightly over your head so smudges!!The one i have now fits lower down the neck and so requires some sort of disguising - a scarf or choker, but as I've said elsewhere I'm now favouring fit into bra breast forms, they're more convenient and rather jolly.
Gina
Something that has no appeal to me. I think it may be extremely hot, if I need to cinch a bit here and there, I prefer a cheaper more comfortable option.
Yeah, I definitely think those bodysuits are well into fetish territory. It wouldn’t do anything for me. I have had some curiosity about trying on a breast plate, but I wouldn’t spend the coin for one.
I just pop my forms directly into my bra and call it good
@juststevie I do hear the breast plates can give you realistic cleavage though
@maureen76 Yeah, I think if you get lucky enough to get a decent match with the skin tone, they will work OK. I saw some when I was down at Janets cross-dressing store earlier this year, but they were expensive and I don’t think they let you try them on.
The only way I would drop any coin on something like that is if I could try it on first. I can understand the logistics behind, not allowing it though.
I wear a breastplate and I can assure every single lady reading this that if you were to wear one of those full bodysuits, you would drown in your own sweat!
I think I would pass out! It would be an interesting problem for the ambulance crew!!
@lauradevon In spite of the sweat--do you like the results of the breastplate? I might consider one
I have a cleavage and I get the big boob bounce
I absolutely love it!;
@lauradevon Laura I've got both breast plate and breast forms. I used to swear by my breast plate because of the cleavage it gives you but I found it a bit awkward to wear in hot weather. I've recently gone back to wearing breast forms which can just slip into a bra and find that I get a much better bounce with the breast forms, I think it's a more real bounce than with the plate. But I've got to agree I too love the boob bounce
Gina
Totally agree with you there hun.
I haven't been able to wear mine as it's been so hot and humid over here. You break into a sweat if you wave at someone!
If anyone wants to try a breastplate, I'd recommend buying some talc as they can be a bugger to get on!
This has been a very interesting conversation---it seems almost all think bodysuits part of fetish community and some have tried breastplates with mixed results
I used to think about getting something like that but ever since I started taking estrogen I have got the results.
@denisemichelle1979 yes---the real thing always better than rubber---Hugs Maureen
I've got a pair of the Vagina panties, and I really like the way they fit. The Vagina looks Nice with panties over it, and it's actually comfortable to wear! I've worn it out a few times, and I've had some nice comments.
@leelove Others here have said they can be hot and uncomfortable---but in your experience not
I have a pair of those panties as well. I agree with Lee Love about how comfortable they can be. The only downside is getting things situated with the sheath when putting them on.
I also have a breastplate that is great to wear (except for how hot it is) - however I think it was mis-sized as a "C" when it fits more like a "D". Just wish I had more opportunities to wear it.
@rdarkside01 yes, getting things situated could be a problem when there isn't much space in the panties to situate anything
