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?

Well Lucille,
As a transgendered woman I have all those type of bras. The ones that I find work best for me are: front closure bras, and under wire bras with no padding….I am currently a 38 A cup. I appreciate all your help in trans and CD community.
Thanks, Jessica
Jessica: I am male, but loves to wear PLAYTEX 4693 FULL FIGURE BRAS ! I am 46B/C cup BRA, so I need to wear a BRA !
Since then my breast have grown into a B or C cup bra now.
Over the years I have bought every kind of bra. I have a draw full, and another half full draw, plus bra’s still in their boxes! I bought them because I liked them, not because they did anything for me. Most of them sit in my draw. I wear about three or four bra’s that suit me. When I think about the money I have wasted, why? Because I wanted that bra!
The Nubra is probably made in China, where the same factories clone products and sell generic versions through EBAY.com for a lot less. The opaque clone of Nubra can be had for 4 for $10 on Ebay.com, and the Silicone version is 2 for $10 if you look hard. Key search terms are::: Adhesive strapless bra.
They don’t stay in place by themselves, not at least until the flesh has been fully stretched to pull the boobies into the center of the chest facing forward as proper headlights. Some over-bra needs to be worn until the chest surrenders into the female shape. A clone version of the “AHH Bra” can also be bought on Ebay, up to sizes 3X, three for $10 if you look through lots of listings.

What abouI pocket bas, in which a breast form fits into a pockr in each ba cup? I believe Glamour Boutiqe carriest pocket bras.
I love my push up bras from Victoria’s Secret. It helps me in giving an extra cleavage.
Holy smokes !!! You are definitely passable !!!
With an eyebrow trim and a little makeup I’d even say you’re hot <3 And wow your boobs look nice.
Sorry if that sounds crass or like I'm trying to pick you up, but OMG you've done an amazing job of MTF. I'm a little jealous and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'll bet you'd look better than most cis girls.
I'd like to know how you managed to look that feminine. Please tell us and post some full length pics so we can see what kind of miracles you managed to pull off!
I just love my lacy bras where the lace extends beyond the cups slightly …i find it makes me feel so sexy and is a little flirtatious ..hehehe
I love such good advice from Lucille. I have grown my boobs to B-cup which is what I wanted to fill this gorgeous Wonderbra 2Up push up bra.
This bra brings by breasts together giving them much more prominence. The feeling is out of this world!
Myself I have found that the underwire bra are best for me with my 42DD that makes for a bra that needs to have the ability to handle my girls.
I have found that Bali maked an affordable and a real comfort with the uplift to be glamorous.
The Playtex 18 hour Cross your heart bra is another of my staple brassiers in my lingerie drawer.
As always with love,Denise
Dean: You are so Pretty ! I’m glad you also wear PLAYTEX BRAS !
Thank you Paula and thank everyone else who comes out to say how much I enjoy being the woman I have so long dreamed of becoming just to be able to wear makeup and lingerie and I am comfortable with that fact.
