Dear friends,
Time to dive into sweet nostalgia with a sharing of our: "first breast forms"
I am positive majority of us started with the convenient rolled up socks or stockings with bird seed.
I personally went on a long journey over many years to eventually ordering dedicated breast forms. Some of my notably comical attempts were:
Water balloons : Two of the radio host gave advice on entering a cross dressing college pageant, from how to speak to filling up the cups. Soon after receiving the advice, I got my hands on a pair of water balloons. Filled them up with a dash of water and blew air into each balloon, attempting to make them fit the bra cups as evenly as possible. I nervously tired the ends in fear of popping them, slid them into the bra (borrowed from my mom). The bounce was accurate enough but the great fear of popping them made them a single attempt.
Air dry clay: Another adolescent attempt, I sculpted a total of two pairs of breast from air dry clay. Yes, the heavy rock hard craft clay which dries over time. I scrumped up some of my allowance to buy a single pack: forming two small mounds. Following soon after by a second attempt by using two packs instead to craft some cup fillers. They were hard, heavy and fragile. I was fearful they would slip out of the cups and dent the wooden floor. I did paint them with flesh colored acrylic paint hoping to make them match my skin tone.
Cold packs: Yes, the ones from the ice cooler. I bought and stacked several gel filled cold packs into stockings. The cool gel felt great on my skin, though the shape and volume left much to be desired. I began to realize at this stage, some form of gel would work to make ideal breast.
I look forward to hearing your stories and where you have arrived to since,

@bluestbelladonna As many, I started with rolled up socks also. As I started again a few years ago I was using rice in a sock, that worked well for me for a while till I went to the Breastform Store and have been using them ever since.

Hi
in my early teens it was rolled up panties, then water balloons, bird seed. Water beads, back to bird seed and finally my bestie gifted me silicone breast forms. I now have two pair and I wear them daily.

Here are two quotes from 'The Lazy Crossdresser' by Charles Anders:
'Transgender beauty queen Serena Anderson found herself in need of a convincing pair of breasts when she was out and about. She cast about for decent materials and ended up filling two condoms with water. They looked decent inside her bra, but then disaster struck in the main elevator of a four-star hotel. One of the condoms exploded, and Serena was left to walk through the lobby trailing water with a "squish, squish, squish" sound.'
And:
‘Besides socks, I sometimes make breasts out of sunflower seeds. It’s nice to have something to snack on during those long evenings clubbing.’

I have been filling my bralettes. With foam/sponge pads 2 in each cup. They look great in nice dresses and are removable when washing the bras.
But I'm ready to try real looking breast forms & see 4 myself.
@tubbydullard I've got C cup and D cup breast forms. They look and feel amazing ... and I have to say that the way they move is also wonderful.
They don't quite 'move in mysterious ways', but it's still very enjoyable nonetheless.
Buy some. You won't be disappointed.

The breast forms I ordered were bigger than I thought they would be! They were too big for my bralette's, and fell out ! Went to local Walmart and purchased one bra , size 38 D,took it home, and "they" fit 💞 perfectly, even jiggle.So went on line and ordered 5 new bras in several colors
( purple 💜 my favorite color)
Awaiting delivery with happy anticipation!
@tubbydullard So glad there's been a happy outcome. Bra Arrival Day (BAD) sounds like it's going to be fun 🙂

@bluestbelladonna The bra holding the forms also is part of this, too.
If you buy silicone forms, they may fill in part of each cup, but there could be some gaps inside the cup, too.
If you use loose materials (seeds, water, filler material/ chips), they will settle to the lowest points. That may give an odd shape at the top of the cups (saggy breast looks?).
If you use a soft bra, such as a sleeping bra, it won't hide the nipple bumps on silicone forms. You might want to use a pair of thin fiber bra pads, to smooth your look. These lightweight bras may be good for you, to get a more natural look and bounce. I haven't tried these bras with homemade forms yet, to know if they give a natural look.
Dear Harriette!
Yes! I struggled with multiple breast forms flopping out and not filling up the bra cups nicely.
I absolutely adore lacy lingerie with heavy push up, but they never quite worked with forms as they just got pushed out.
Ive since settled for a breast plate (cotton) and it has been the closest to real girls for me. The weight of the cotton breast plate lacks the jiggle and weight of the forms though.
I am thankful we are both detailed and care greatly about our girls 🙂

@bluestbelladonna I want to get the look right which includes shape, bounce, and spread. I ask my wife for feedback, but, so far, that has been a lost cause. Looking in the mirror only goes so far and I don't get the honest opinion of a GG.
@bluestbelladonna the very first time I put a bra on I used a few pairs of panties in each cup. Over time I’ve used balloons, socks and in the later years I made a set with baggies, rice and cut pantyhose. They worked really well. After I came out to my wife I bought my first set of breastforms . Just last week I ordered a breast plate to try.
@bluestbelladonna I would like asked anyone.
Is there a more suitable bag that can be used to make homemade breast forms than stockings? Something closer in shape to a real breasts would be useful. The foot of a stocking makes more of a sausage shape than a mound. Making it loose doesn't seem to make much difference, so I think that a different bag would be better overall, but which one?
I know a few people have used balloons, but reliability has to be an issue, and I don't want issues with sweat.
Dear Harriette,
Im so sorry for the delayed reply. I'm considering a material which is less absorbent as it would come into contact with the skin. Maybe you could make forms from Nylon? You could purchase a small sheet and sew them up into circles to better fit the bra.
With all mu support and encouragement,

Socks for me lol, I just recently bought C cup forms, Love the way they look and feel on me.
Love to know where u bought & cost 4
C cup forms / nipples?
I'm ready. To try some.
@tubbydullard I bought them on Amazon I think they were about $60. How ever I just yesterday had a Bra fitting and the lady who did the Bra fitting said for my body size I should be wearing D of DD, So I ordered Jiggles teardrop size 9 which is DD from the Breast form store, With the adhesive and adhesive remover it came out to $179.85
Thank you Kimberly,
I think I'll try the $60 +/- range first.
I'm just 5'11,, and 150 lb. CD gal.
C , 36 Sounds bout right?
I look fwd. To some nipples on the forms cause now, I just wear bralettes with foam pads.
Bird seen in nylon stockings. Filled them to about a C cup. I was hooked on having breast immediately. Within a week I ordered some inexpensive silicon forms and wear them every chance I get.
lol, for my first attempt, I filled a pair of small plastic bags with baking flour! This worked pretty well for me for many years but I finally bought a pair of mastectomy silicone breast forms, a major upgrade!
First , was stockings or socks. Later the balloon route. Used good quality and experimented to get the right water/air combination. Used until coming out to wife, and obtained regular forms, 2 pair named “ the twins”.
In my early days of dressing, my mom would roll my socks into a ball. I then got the idea to use the rolled up socks and stuff them into my mom's bra. Kinda worked, but since each pair was of different size, the rolled socks also were different size so I had boobs that were mismatched.
Back then if you bought a vcr, they had these plastic nubbing things that covered the video/audio in ports. I kept some of these nubbings and used them as nipples.
I never did the water balloon or anything. I just stuck with the rolled socks for the longest time.
Over the course of years I migrated from socks to bunching up panties as boobs. I then saved up enough for breast enhancers, then breast forms (they didn't match my bra band size so they looked really off), then eventually proper sized breast forms.
It's always either rolled up socks or tights for me, too! I must admit to never having heard of using bird seed. I have tried water-filled balloons once or twice. They do give a lovely bounce, but I too was afraid they might pop.
I don't wear clothes with cleavage-revealing necklines, so I use full-cup bras. Recently I bought a post surgery bra from M&S. The cups are fully padded and have a nice shape. I bought a pair of forms to go with it, but they turned out to not be a very good fit, so I abandoned them and stuck with using socks and tights.
My first forms were rolled up panties. They actually worked quite nicely.
Hi Belladonna,
A great question! As others have cited I first tried water balloons. Then tried birdseed in a knee hi stocking.

I tried the socks method a few times when I was young. My first attempt that kinda worked before buying forms was fairly inventive in my eyes. I took a few of the pad inserts from padded bras and stacked them up. They had a pretty natural shape!
My first forms were rice in stockings. They worked well enough until the solidness of them didn't feel right anymore. I then bought inexpensive ($40) triangular silicone forms from ebay. That pair lasted me 5 years before splitting across the back. I bought a new pair the same and hope for another 5yrs out of them.
A few days ago, I read a web page of ideas for making my own forms. The reason that I was looking for something other than silicone forms was because I bought some bras with firm, built-in padding and forms didn't work well with them.
So, what I settled on was plastic hobby filler. Michael's has glass chips, too, which would have a heavy weight, but I saw that they also had sharp edges. The tiny plastic chips go into stockings well, but if they are tied up too tightly, then the shape of the stockings becomes a problem. I have to figure out how tight they should be, to fit in the cups without looking odd.
One thing that I don't like about teardrop breast forms is how they don't spread out at the bottom. I have one pair of triangular forms, which are OK, but they are small. Maybe these chips will solve some of these issues. The chips should also help with moisture build-up.
For such a long time I didn't use anything at all, but then decided I needed some shape and made myself some from rice in stockings. They were a revelation, I must say... I loved having boobs! Then I never dressed for the next 17 years!
When I returned to the 'hobby', I bought myself some asymmetric silicon forms which are good but in C-cup I find them too big. I have a pair of B-cup teardrop ones which are much better for size but are now starting to look a bit worse for wear after almost constant use this pas couple of years.
As I'm unlikely to replace them with the real thing, I am trying to decide whether to take the plunge (no pun intended!) on a breastplate or just new forms.
First up... Tennis balls in my mother's bras... Didn't 'arf itch a lot
Then when I began dressing in my own "gear" .Rice or birdseed in panty hose/stocking toes.. Then very cheap but rock hard forms. Finally onto silicon, which lasted many years. Then on to higher quality silicon C Cups from the Breast Form Store
Underwire bras have always been best for forms in my experience.

@ryan-paul I like many others started with rolled socks. I get great projection but that was about it. Tried water balloons but eventually got some foam breast pads and had my girls. Soon though I explored the internet and found some silicon breast forms, 38 B, and finally had some nice fitting and bob bouncing forms. Wear them whenever I can.
Like a lot of others, it was rolled up socks or tights for me.
I did experiment with putting them into two small bags to make something more permanent, but that didn’t last too long.
Eventually I bought some silicon forms.
I bought a D Cup, which in hindsight might have been a little large, but
I really love them.
I love how they warm up and eventually match your body temperature.
They look pretty good too
