The bra is most likely the most feminine item that there is. It doesn’t mean that it can’t be worn by men – even if they (or most of them) don’t have breasts.
The bra has a specific charm about it. It can become a prop that boosts your self-esteem – As crossdressers, you and only you know that you are wearing a beautiful bra under your menswear.
Also, the feeling of wearing one is very interesting: it’s like a permanent hug through the band and the straps. In addition to ending a feeling of lack, it can remind you of a number of things – like maintaining your body posture. There’s no way you can ignore that you’re wearing a bra.
Many men who have gynecomastia can also benefit from a bra, which will not only improve posture but can also reduce pain. The increase in cases of gynecomastia in men could enable the bra to become popular in men’s fashion.
There are already types of lingerie made especially for men. They tend to be adapted to the male body, and there is less variety and higher cost to purchase than the similar female versions.
The bra has been a symbol hated by feminists because it is regarded as an icon of oppression. Don’t fall for this nonsense.
They say that for every woman who takes off a bra, there is a man who wants to wear it.
One reason many women hate bras is that they make a mistake in choosing the right bra. Right now, most women in the world are wearing a bra of the wrong size and/or model.
If they learned early on how to correctly choose a bra, things would be much better.
Many lingerie stores offer “fitting” services. Every day they measure and recommend bras to thousands of women. Some stores also offer this service to men. You can take your own measurements with the aid of a measuring tape and the measurement charts that each manufacturer offers.
If you want to adopt a bra in your life, you will need to have more than one. A woman usually wears the same bra for three days in a row, so I recommend that you have at least three bras for daily use.
Women generally own more than one bra, for two reasons: in addition to needing a replacement when one is in the laundry, a woman needs a suitable model for each particular situation.
It depends on each individual person. In the case of a man, he should consider having a discreet bra, one which is not visible to other people – after all this is still taboo for our society.
A sports bra or bralette in neutral colors without trimmers or zips to mark the clothes can be helpful.
Although at other times – such as at home or even outside, on cold days and full of blouses, you can use a traditional model, with adjusters, zips and even lace, pads, and bolder color. A traditional bra lets you feel the shoulder straps and the magic of buttoning and unbuttoning the bra.
It is recommended that you button the bra from the back, but if you are not so flexible you can button it from the front and twist the bra.
In addition to many colors (yes, you can still buy white), there is a variety of prints, such as animal and floral, and fabrics, such as lace and satin.
I particularly love lace bras. You should consider having at least one lace bra.
Daily bra wearing may make you feel the same “relief” a woman feels when she unbuttons her bra at the end of the day…but I’m guessing that you’ll still be eager to wear it the next day.
If you want to experience what it’s like to have breasts, you can buy forms to fill your bra.
You can also try wearing matching panties… the result can be wonderful, and many lingerie departments offer sets. The downside is the variance between some men’s upper and lower torso.
The best way to find your style is by wearing a bra daily. It will help you to figure out which option might be best for you.

great article. I typically wear a bralette daly as you cannot see the straps or lines like a traditional bra would show, of course with matching panties. As we get into the winter season, wearing a sweater can hide traditonal bra strap marks very easily. If you feel daring or risky…add a small set of forms as well.
Thanks!
wearing a bra 6 days a week, the 7th day I go to work and have to change at work.
around 20 bras, all different styles, love the longline type of bra and then my altimeter favourite bra which has some built in water filling giving a almost B size breast without breast forms, unfortunately I can’t read the label any longer and I bought it in a department store more tha 10 years ago so if anybody in here know where to buy a new bra with built in water filling then please let me know.
Do you only work once a week or are you a home office?
I decided to start getting my money back, having paid in on my retirement account for 35 years, an old school pal who was a bank executive told me tha the insurance companies who administer what I pay to my saving, they just wait for me to die early. So I decided go for the money now, start retiring and get a lot of girl time, that’s so great.

Nice!
Yes
Whenever I can

100% agree with your sentiment even for those of us in the closet who cannot regularly wear them. Pulling on the bra strap, hooking the back, it’s the first thing I put on each time. It signals the start of the transformation for me. I mostly like ones that are close to the skin as I don’t use forms yet. I’m curious to try them; gotta be better than water balloons (which I’ve tried a few times)

I don’t have forms, I prefer to feel the bra on my body.
@marieclaire2
i agree. I have forms but for a number of reasons rarely use them. Like you one reason is I want to feel the whole effect of wearing a bra. I like the feel of my little gurl boobies being snuggled in a soft cup bra. They even jiggle sometimes !!
@Melissa Stack I really like my breast forms. I am a plus size in everything like a 44D bra. Finding a nice bra for me is really tough. when I started wearing the breast forms it got even harder to find a sexy bra
I have 28 all different styles and colors. At present only wear them when I get dressed to go out.
I prefer wear bras indoor.
I sometimes left home with a bra under several blouses
Have i worn a bra, yes,
How often, when ever i let Roz out of the closet,
How many do i have, lots in all different colours and styles,
Would i wear one daily, yes if i could,
Hugs Roz X
Nice!
I wear mine everyday when I get home.
I have 5 at the moment and just love the victoria’s secret body by victoria demi. Have been favoring my lacy pink one lately.

I love pink and i love lace. So girlie.
I feel like a princess when I wear a girlie bra!
A bra highlights my breasts, even though I have a natural C cup. A bra strap that casually shows can be a real attention getter too.
But one of the best things about a bra, is taking it off after a long day and letting my breasts BREATHE!
A bra makes us enjoy our feminine side in every way
Wearing a bra is heaven for me and adding my breast forms makes me feel complete. I have five or six full coverage lightly padded very comfortable in various colors
Would wear one every day if I could.
Nice!
Fascinating analysis!

Thank you!
