Is there any article of clothing that is more associated with being a woman than the bra? Kilts are the same as skirts. Togas and kimonas are somewhat like dresses. Shirts are like blouses. Men and women share many clothes that have different names, but look quite similar – except for the bra.

That is why I think that – for a man who is growing breasts – the moment when it makes sense to wear a bra is such a milestone. Whether it is a physical or emotional breakthrough or a psychological or symbolic moment – putting on a bra to support your new breasts, for the first time, is special. The little piece of clothing states, upon its wearing, that you are someone new.

Just as for young women, the first bra marks a coming of age, for a man enlarging his breast or other feminizing action, a bra can also mark that moment of true change…

For me, even after several years of wearing bras, I still get a “psychological boost” from them. Which is one of the pros of wearing a bra. Other pros include keeping me warmer in the winter – just another layer of cloth to keep away the cold air. In the summer, my bras do get damp from perspiration – which leads to a nice cooling effect, when a breeze hits the front of my body.

Of course, bras also support your breasts, which is important. And depending upon what you wear, a bra can actually de-emphasize your breasts – if your desire is to not let the general public know that you are a man with breasts.

On the con side of wearing a bra. Since my variation in gender is private, I generally wear clothes that obscure my breasts. There are some shirts that I cannot wear under those conditions because a bra will show through.

Additionally, the straps sometimes come loose or off my shoulders and need to be adjusted. And the straps sometimes bug my shoulders a little bit – comfort wise. And I do have to make tugging adjustments on the cups. But I suppose that any set of clothing needs adjustments from time to time…

I guess the only real con about wearing a bra is taking the time to put the bra on in the first place. Sometimes, I feel rushed when getting dressed and putting on a bra is one more step I have to take to get ready for work. And I do find it necessary to wear a bra at work or when I know I will be doing particular physical activities. Otherwise – my breasts will hurt, if they go unsupported.

In general, I love wearing a bra and I love the fact that I need to wear a bra. So what about you? How do you feel about wearing a bra? Leave a comment…

i am a male with breasts. I wear a 36C/38B depending on the make. I wore sports bras while growing my breasts because the wife wasn’t fully on board with the idea. As they continued to grow she finally relented and allowed me to start wearing regular bras. That was the day I realized how big my boobs had grown. A sports bra will not allow you to gather up all of the side/under arm boobage. The first time I strapped them up in a well made under wire bra…..WOW. Could not (still don’t) believe how big and firm they feel in a bra. I am going through another major growth spurt at the moment and sometimes my new bras feel tighter. Good advise, don’t spend too much money on really good bras until you have reached your goal because you will grow out of them faster than you think.

  There is something liberating about wearing a bra. It is a statement that your breasts are growing and you are now more of yourself. Even years down the road, a little pop of inner satisfaction comes to me!

  Yes, your breast size should be permanent, especially after two years of taking the bovine ovary extract.
  
  The general rule of thumb is that breasts become permanent at around six months and generally have reached their potential cup size by the end of a year or so. Although you may continue growing after the first year.
  
  I should note that most men who use bovine ovary extracts for as long as you have are in the process of transitioning into a woman – a goal that involves more than just growing breasts.
