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?

Hi Lucille
As usual great article and very informative, in this picture I am using a wireless bra and I stopped using breasts forms 6 months ago because I start to developed my own breasts with HRT and right now I am a 38 B, I guess I am lucky because I have a good reaction to the hormones.
Much love Joanna xoxo♡♡
Thank you so much for all your great suggestions and help!! It is appreciated very much. For myself, I prefer a satin, non-padded bra. I am not large by any means, but I don’t see why we would wear forms or padded bras to show something that we don’t have. I have what I have and am proud of my girls and their progress, so far. I feel that what they actually see is what they get!!! Lol
Another great article! I have, through the years, experimented with different styles of bras. Now that I’m on HRT and actually developing breasts, I prefer non-wire, unlined bras for comfort. Otherwise I go to a t-shirt bra most often.
I used to have a set of black unlined, non-wire bras I bought from Walmart which I found very comfortable, but time alone and many wearings has diminished them. I can’t find them anymore! They had spaghetti straps and a single back hook closure, the cups were nearly triangle shaped too. Any suggestions?
I also have some hard to find Walmart bras that I love. Had good luck at Walmart.com.
Thank you soooo much for your advice!! I’ve never even thought of buying a pocket bra for some reason. Would make my fem life much easier!!
I love my FLower Bali bra. It fits perfect and feels heavenly.
I love wearind T-shirt bras they feel so comfortable and make my breast more presentable.
