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.

I love to wear bras. Bras are, in my opinion, the most feminine clothing to wear. I have only three right now but I have had many in the past. I went through many purges, sadly. My wife excepts me dressing now so I don’t plan on any more purging. Thanks for this article, I enjoy reading these and all the comments from the girls.
I also love wearing bras. I also enjoy writing and interacting with all of you!
I agree with your statement referring to the wearing of a bra as a “permanent hug". I consider my bras to be my most intimate piece of femme clothing and I always put it on first. My favorite is the traditional white lace!
I also love the hug of the bra and a cute white lace bra!
I first wore a girlfriends training bra in grade school playing dress up. I have loved wearing bra’s ever since. I currently wear a bra every day during waking hours, except when bathing of course. On the rare occasion I am not wearing my bra I feel almost naked. I absolutely love wearing a bra.
I also started with a training bra – but my sister’s. And I loved it!
I tried on a bra for the first time when I was 11 or 12 and found one of my mom’s in the laundry hamper. Since that first time 50+ years ago I have worn bras regularly, mostly around the house. Fortunately, my wife is accepting and doesn’t object to me wearing one in her presence.
Mom’s bra is an unforgettable experience! I’m glad you have a supportive wife.
How things have changed going from not own a bra for years to don’t know how many I own. Unfortunately I’m stuck in the closet but every time I have some alone time, out comes the bras. The worse thing about being in the closet is that I have to take the bras off later. One thing I found one I can discretely wear an unlined bra or bralette and hopefully no one notices or care
Oh how I know what you are feeling . I too am in the closet and have very limited Debbie time but when I have some private moments as you say out comes the bras and of corse some other lingerie complements.
Congratulations – and more and more bras to come!
I love this article on bras. Thank you. I think I will start with a sports bra. I already notice movement there when I jog. But I welcome it.
Thank you very much. Sports bra is a great place to start!
I am hooked on wearing a bra everyday too and even in male drab. Nothing reminds us of who we are when in a bra or heels. I adore the sensation
I also love the feeling. You can’t remain indifferent to a bra when it hugs you!
I don’t have any, yet. Just checking around now. But there is something alluring about them. I love the look of them. I’ve never tried one on, but can’t wait for that first delicious experience.
You will love!
I also love wearing a bra. I have I think 28 of them. I have mostly unlined underwire bras. Of corse I have some others. A mix between full coverage and demi cup. I like to buy them to fit me no forms or padding,I love the feel of a nice fitting bra. It is a challenge sometimes to find that nice fitting bra and as soon as its found it seems they are discontinued for the new line and style. There is such a difference in size and cut between makes and models . I have some 36B and… Read more »
