Reply To: Breast forms or breast plates?

[Alison Anderson]

I have been wearing forms before plates were very popular.  I think the plates would be too hot, and too easy to rip, and hard to get on and off if I had to do it several times during a day (go out and appear male).  I had a friend who was allergic to rubber so wearing breast plates would not go well.  And finally, breast plates (and most breast forms) tend not to match my olive skin color, so even if I hide the seam it’s obvious if I have a pink chest against olive skin everywhere else.  I’ll stick with forms.
