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, and I agree 100%.. but it is so difficult to get a good fitting bra, or finding a lingerie store that will help you in finding the right size. I must say that having a bra fitting by an expert fitter is a pleasure, but a rare occurrence.
Acceptance of the bra as an everyday piece of male apparel … bring it on, but I wont hold my breath.
Thanks again
Thanks!
Have you tried a small specialty store? I have found on in my area that will do fittings for males as well as females. I have gotten to know the ladies so well. I just call and schedule a fitting so they are aware I am coming in advance. They take me off into a private area in the store so I am not making the women feel uncomfortable.
I just Love your article. This is so true. Women hate bra’s because they are wearing the wrong size bra.. To answer your questions: Have you ever tried on a bra? Yes! How often do you wear a bra? Everyday How many bras do you have and what are your favorite styles and colors? I have so many different favorite bras. I have about 200 bras. My love for bras just continues to grow. I Love the Prima Donna Madison and Prima Donna Deauville bras. The Chantelle Rive Gauche. I have so many different styles that I buy and wear… Read more »
Great collection!
I forgot to mention my colors. I find a bra I Love. I buy it in every color I can find it in. I have the basic black, white and beige. I also have a rainbow of colored bras. My favorite color to wear is pink though. If it is pink with black lace. It is a definite must have item whether it’s panties or bra.
my fav colors is black, white and pink. I feel like a princess wearing pink bra.
It is essential to get a correct fitting bra and once done it is a revelation. I pop in my boosters and’Voila’ I have a cleavage. I have white and black daily use bras. Then something a little more lacy for a nice occasion.
Exactly!
I agree 100% about the feeling like you are being hugged! I would extend that to women’s clothing in general. Tights, fitted tops…all of it makes it feel like you’re being held.
And like you said, a bra is one of the most distinctly feminine things one could wear, and you can’t help but feel girly with one on! Only heels come close…
Yeah!
I love them, my 1st time was my moms
Mom’s (or sister’s) drawer is one of the best places of the World!
I wear a bra everyday. I know I have more bras than most GGs. (about 4 large drawers full) just about all of them have matching panties. I love all styles of bras.
I have just about every color you can imagine. I can’t resist a pretty bra!
Pro tip: You can get fabulous deals on really good bras at Burlington.
Men who wear bras usually have more bras than women!
Bras are my “cocaine or heroin". I’m happily addicted. If I see a pretty bra in a store, I immediately look for the matching panties, & don’t walk out of the store without them!
Hi Marie, Such a great and fun article. I wear bras a lot especially in winter with more layers on . My wife warned me that GG’s can spot a man wearing a bra easily,Im not sure though. I wear bras a lot especially to sleep in which is unusual for many GG’s. But they just make me feel pretty. I have way to many bras but they are all so pretty and feminine. I must say I have measured myself and I measure to a 38 A cup but I like a 36C bra(mostly padded of course) in several… Read more »
Thank You!
We have more bras than many GGs!
Me too on all this. I love wearing my bra to sleep in…
Right away, the idea of being hugged with a bra on put a big smile on my face. Thanks for a wonderful article. It took me quite a bit of nerve to order my first bra. I did it online. Torrid. And then picked up the bra at one of their nearby retail locations. I guessed on size but got lucky. Since then, I have ordered two more and love all three. They are underwire push-up and give me a lovely figure even though I don’t wear breast forms. I also have a bralette that I wear occasionally under my… Read more »
Thank you!
Hugs!
I try to wear bras as often as possible, much easier in the winter. I just now got done ordering 3 more bras online, Bali is having a cybra week. Paid less than 50$ for 3 bras. I love the feeling of wearing bras, after I get these 3, I will probably have close to 20 different bras, some basi6, some sports, and some sexy. Love to all you beautiful souls out there.
Nice!
Marie Claire,
It’s wonderful isn’t it. I love wearing a bra, usually about 3 days a week, one of which I go out and about. It gives me the ultimate feeling of femininity and a constant reminder of the woman I am underneath as well as outside. I use breast forms and have a number of bra’s to suit different outfits. I often feel a little down when I take it off but then look forward to next time.

Nice!
