A girl can never own too many bras, right?
But with so many bra options to choose from, it’s easy to go wrong and wear a bra that’s the incorrect size or style for your body type.
Want to enhance your feminine curves – without wasting money on bad bra purchases?
In this post, I share how to flatter and feminize your body with the 7 best bras for trans women and crossdressers.
1. Pocket Bra
A pocket bra, or mastectomy bra, has pockets in the cups to hold breast forms securely in place. If you wear breast forms (especially large or heavy forms), a pocket bra is a must.
2. Front Closure Bra
Crossdressers and transgender women tend to have wide rib cages and/or widely spaced breasts. This can make it hard to find a bra that fits properly.
Enter the front closure bra. Front closure bras have a clasp in the front of the bra instead of the back. These bras have wider set cups, making them easier to fit.
3. T-shirt Bra
The t-shirt bra is every girl’s best friend. It’s a seamless, molded cup bra that’s designed to look smooth under your clothes – even the most form-fitting tee. Best of all, t-shirt bras come in a wide range of sizes.
4. Convertible Bra
A common complaint I hear from crossdressers and transgender women is that many bras have straps that aren’t long enough for them.
Convertible bras offer a perfect solution. Convertible bras have removable straps that can be worn in different ways – including crisscrossed. Because of this, they have longer straps than regular bras.
5. Balconette Bra
Balconette bras have cups that are cut horizontally across the bust. This is a beautiful cup style that’s particularly flattering to wide rib cages and/or wide set breasts.
Most balconette bras are padded, so they’re also great for giving “the girls” some extra oomph.
6. Wireless Bra
Underwire bras offer maximum support, so they’re ideal if you wear breast forms. However, they can be hard to fit if you have a wide chest.
Consider wearing a wireless bra instead. Wireless bras have a more forgiving fit, so they’re much more comfortable.
If you want to wear a soft cup bra with breast forms, look for a wireless pocketed bra or attach the breast forms to your chest with tape or adhesive.
7. Adhesive Bra
Adhesive bras are a backless, strapless bra style that’s attached to the breasts with adhesive.
These bras are fabulous for creating cleavage, so they’re a must for your femme wardrobe. (Click here to learn more about how to create cleavage with an adhesive bra.)
In conclusion
While you don’t need to limit yourself to these 7 bra styles (the sky’s the limit in bra land!), they’re a great place to start.
Now I’d like to hear about YOUR favorite bras. Is there a particular bra style or brand that works for you?

It’s rather difficult to use an adhesive bra on silicone prosthetic breasts, as the adhesives in the bras won’t stick to rubber or plastic. I also don’t have enough pectoral tissue to effectively use them, anyway.
I’ve also had very bad luck with adhesive breast prosthetics…despite doing all the necessary prep work beforehand, they just won’t adhere to my chest very well, nor will they stay “stuck” 🙁
I’ve had to resort to so-called “breastplates” and seamless “breast vests” in order to project a more realistic feminine image.
Next on my list is to acquire a so-called “gurl shirt” from RealDoll, since the relatively-cheap Chinese breast vests don’t hold up very well, or for very long (one of mine is starting to rip at the armpits, and the other is just too impractical to wear for long periods).

Its hard to find the right bra that fits comfortable
George: Try PLAYTEX 4693 FULL FIGURE BRAS ! You will love wearing them ! BRA wearing will never get any better !
I couldn’t agree with this article more. I have like 4 bras of almost every kind shown. Girls, just get the right size. If you want to make a good impression when you’re out, you have to have your clothes fit right and you can’t just have huge boobs. When you get a good size figured out for your frame size, make sure you have a great bra to wear along with your outfits and that your boobs are supported at just the right place and your bras should follow any way you stoop over, turn, twist, jump whatever. A good bra keeps you secure.
I mostly have Tshirt and balconette bra’s with a few lacy one’s all different colours ☺
Thanks for the great advice, Lucille. I live and work en femme full time. I’ve been wearing the Fruit of the Loom everyday bra available at Wal-Mart. It has underwires to gather but is made of comfortable, cozy cotton. They available in black, white and nude. It’s not a good choice for a hot date but quite comfortable for a long work day or doing chores.
