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?

Wonderful ideas. For myself I am still in the closet and will wear absolutely anything as long as its feminine. I want one day to transition though
I would add a good sports bra to the list. I’m a 34B with hormones but find that for dancing and gym especially my VS Pibk is a must. The salesgirls are very understanding too and really helpful with advise about the best bra styles for MtF. My favourites are balconette, bralettes are wireless
PLAYTEX BRAS will help any figure ! I am a guy, but now look like a woman thanks to PLAYTEX 4693 FULL FIGURE BRAS ! I just love wearing PLAYTEX BRAS !
I wear T shirt and unlinked both underwrite and no wires but am at a 36 B with hormones
Unlinked, underwire, boy hate suggested text.
Unlined, underwire, T-Shirt, and no wires bras. Oh boy do I hate suggested text.
I just love Soma Memorable Full Coverage Lace Trim Bras!! I get a great fit, they’re comfortable, and I can wear matching panties.
I found this one that close in the front ast Walmart it has a matching panties . Fits great for a XXL as I am a 42B border C cup. . I normally look for ones with underwire for more lift but this is doing great. had it one wile trying on the dress.
Kay: Looks nice ! I have bought some of my PLAYTEX BRAS at Walmart.
I wish they carried the full line of the Platex Bras. none the sexy one or underwire ones.
Hello Everyone,
Yes, a bra that fits properly and is comfortable is a a must.
My suggestion is to go for a professional bra fitting, you will not believe the difference it makes. If you have enough breast tissue that’s great, but make sure you have a bra that controls the sleevage.

http://shop.hommemystere.com/ is a store that produces bras and lingerie for people with male proportions. I have one of their bras, and it’s my favorite. The cups and straps match my physique, and they have quite a few really cute styles, and they’re reasonably priced.
I use bras by Victorisa Secret o 18 yrs., all shapes, etc. C OR D Cup,
w/ breast forms or not. ‘Have found , for whatever reason, they stay firm,
hold forms in smug(no slipping), and give appearance of cleavage if worn with appropriate top.
‘WAITING FOR EPHRAIM to take affect so as to see what type of bra to wear whrn i have cleavage….Toodles!
Totally agree Roxanne. The VS bras are really good quality and if you wait for the sale to stock up are good value too.
I think you get what you pay for really. vS may be more expensive than say Walmart but I find their bras are well made, well fitting and are really confitmetde to wear even at the end of a long day. Great support and so pretty
