Yes I have, on the recommendation of a work colleague. It was a small Lingerie boutique in a nearby town, my colleague noticed the boutique Facebook page said it treats everybody the same regardless of age, size, shape, and gender! And the owner used to be a nurse, which my colleague and me are.
I emailed her asking what her feelings were about me making an appointment. She was happy to help, and gave me some advice about the appointment, which she would give me her undivided attention in the fitting room while her only employee looked after the front shop.
I rocked up in full Bianca mode. She complimented me on my appearance and bravery. Then asked me what I wanted. I wanted two things, a nice bra to fit with my forms, and a padded bra to make the most of my own little boobs if I wanted to show a little cleavage. I took my top off and again she complimented me on the bra I had on as it seemed to fit well, she said my bra fitted me better than a lot of her first time female clients who come with badly fitting bras.
I got two beautiful bras, one padded and one to wear with my forms. They were both so comfy. I also got matching knickers for both. Gladly paid more than I would in a supermarket, as they were good quality, and she just made me feel so at ease, as if I should be there, and was one of her female clients. She had fitted post mastectomy women with similar Brest forms to fill their bras.
It was another huge step for me, a great confidence boost, and I was just so happy at the acceptance and warm friendly reception I got. Some will say yeah good sales pitch, but she genuinely had a passion for her work. I also learned an important lesson from her, the labels on bra sizes are not always accurate, one make of 36B bra will not fit the as a 36B in another brand. I wore a 36C to the appointment but she sold me a 36D which was so comfy and fitted my forms perfectly.
