Feeling feminine is as easy as slipping into a beautiful bra.
However, it’s not always easy to get the right fit since most bras aren’t designed with crossdressers and transgender women in mind.
But fear not, because there ARE solutions!
In this blog post, I share how to solve your 7 biggest bra problems. Discover how to find the perfect fit and style, so you and “your girls” can look your absolute best.
Problem #1: Wrinkled Or Gapping Bra Cups
Bra cups that don’t lay smooth are a common problem. Fortunately, there are two easy fixes:
- Go down a cup size. The main reason for wrinkles is that your breasts don’t fill out the bra cups. Try going down a cup size. For example, from a 38B to a 38A.
- Choose a demi bra instead of a full coverage bra. Full coverage bras often have extra space at the top of the cup. A demi bra that’s cut lower eliminates this problem.
Problem #2: Can’t Find A Bra My Size
If you opt not to wear breast forms with your bra, it can be tricky to find the perfect fit. Crossdressers and transgender women often struggle to find bras with small cups and large band sizes, as they are not commonly available.
Luckily, I’ve curated a list of bra options specifically catering to those with smaller breasts and broader body proportions:
- Bodycon Multiway Bra – latte – Band sizes 40-46, Cup Sizes B-G
- Flatter Me Bra – Band sizes 40-46, Cup sizes AA-B
- Leading Lady Scallop Lace Bra – Band sizes 36-48, Cup sizes A-DD
- Prima Donna Couture Bra – Band sizes 38-48, Cup sizes B-H
Problem #3: Back Bulge
Another common issue many face is back bulge, often caused by back fat or an ill-fitting bra. So, how can you bid farewell to this dreaded problem?
- Opt for a larger band size. Wearing a band that’s too tight can lead to bulging. Increase your band size by going up one size, such as from a size 42 to a size 44 band.
- Seek bras with flexibility. Look for bras crafted from smooth and stretchy fabrics. These types of bras are less likely to dig into your skin compared to stiffer ones.
- Give longline bras a try. Longline bras feature a wider band that aids in eliminating back bulge. This design provides additional support and helps create a smooth silhouette.
Problem #4: Wide-set Breasts
Wide-set breasts can be a common concern for crossdressers and transgender women due to having a broader rib cage. This can pose two challenges: finding a properly fitting bra and achieving the desired cleavage.
Here are four solutions tailored to wide-set breasts:
- Look for pushup pads. A bra with padding on the sides helps push the breasts together.
- Wear a wireless bra. Underwires can be uncomfortable if they’re not properly centered beneath the breasts. In this case, a wireless bra will fit you better.
- Choose a bra with a wide center panel. The wider the center panel (the triangle-shaped area between the bra cups), the better the bra will fit.
- Find a front closure bra. Front closure tend to have wider-set cups due to the center clasp.
Problem #5: Bra Straps Fall Down
Nothing is more annoying than straps that don’t stay put. Here’s how to solve this problem:
- Tighten the bra straps. Bra straps stretch out over time, so they should be tightened every other month or so.
- Look for silicone bra straps. Some bras have a silicone lining on the straps that helps keep them in place. You can also purchase silicone bra strap cushions that can be worn with any bra.
- Try a different bra style. Balconette and plunge bras tend to have wider straps that are prone to falling. Instead, look for a bra with a racerback or crisscross straps.
Problem #6: Breast Forms Don’t Stay In Place
When it comes to wearing breast forms, choosing the right bra is crucial. Here are five essential tips to guide you:
- Look for a pocket bra. Opt for a bra with built-in pockets specifically designed to hold the breast forms securely in place.
- Go for a full coverage. Another option is a full coverage bra. The cups should fully cover the breast forms for a seamless look.
- Opt for underwires. Select bras with underwires for added support and shape, especially if you are wearing heavy or large forms.
- Ensure a snug bra band. This provides support for the breast forms. To test, put a finger under the band between your breasts. If you can fit two or more fingers, the band is too loose. Tighten it or go down a band size.
- Avoid low cut bras. Low cut bras don’t have enough coverage to support the breast forms. Choose a full coverage bra instead.
- Avoid bras that are too small. Bras that are too small can damage your breast forms. Look for a bra that fits you properly.
Problem #7: Bra Shows Through Clothing
Just like visible panty lines, a bra that peeks through your clothes isn’t exactly fashionable (unless, of course, that’s the look you’re going for).
Here’s how to ensure your bra stays discreetly concealed:
- Look for bras with smooth cups and minimal details. Lacy fabrics and trimmings are pretty, but they often show through lightweight fabrics.
- Wear a black or skin tone bra. The black bra should be worn under dark clothing, while a nude or skin tone bra words best with light colors. Avoid white bras since these tend to show through clothing.

My only bra problem is that I don’t get to wear one as often as I like. I’d wear one all day everyday if I could.
Welcome to the club 🙂
Take heart Jackie and other ladies with this issue. Depending on your desires, you can wear a bra always. My wife does not approve in the least – we actually fight over my fem side, but I’ve decided for me, I’ve had enough – and I do what I wish. I wear a bra and panties every day. I have a drawer full of bras and several different sizes. When I wear a bra and want only me to know about it, I have a couple inexpensive b cups. I weat a t-shirt under my dress shirts so the straps don’t show up! Thru the times I’m not at work, I wear dark tees which help hide I’m wearing a bra. Myself, I don’t care who knows about my want to be a woman, but my wife is another story. I wear these things to make her at ease. If it were just up to me, I’d just flat out wear a bra always no matter what kind of shirt and I’d let it be known.
So would i wear a bra all day and every day of my life
Well at 5’8, 133Lbs, my 32A cups are more then good enough for more. Okay, B cups would be even better. My shoulders arent that broad.
I find that underwire, demi’s, push up bras best fit my breast as they behave themselves most of the time.
My problem is finding these smaller sized bras a pain in the rear end, and that the perfect panty and bra combinations aren’t always found because one store will have the most comfortable panties, and the other will have the bras I prefer. The biggest problem is, wearing a bulletproof that smothers my babies at work, leaving my back in pain, and breast screaming for freedom.
I’m a crossdresser and several women have been encouraged me to try larger breasts forms. My main bra problem is finding larger cup sizes in an appropriate band size (34-36) that are not minimizers. I appreciate that many full-busted women prefer to draw less attention to their breasts, but I don’t want my bra to force half of my breast forms under my armpits; I’d love to find some large-cup bras designed for projection.
I am 32 years old and just beginning to explore cross-dressing to see if I will be happier or even capable as feminine. I am hoping that many of the inadequacies that I have always struggled with while trying to pass as masculine (and seemingly failed) might actually help me to pass as feminine.
I am 5 feet 6 inches tall, 130 pounds. While doing my best to measure myself, it appears my measurements are 34.5″ bust, 32″ under-bust band, 34.5″ over-bust band, 28″ waist, 35″ hips. I have been very interested in buying a bra online for the last few months, but I haven’t done so because I don’t know what size to get. The fact that my overbust and underbust band measurements are so different makes me think that the measurement is perhaps unreliable due to potentially masculine frame. My first guess would be to try a 32A. However I have another concern, that my breasts may look slightly larger than they really are because of an illusion caused by a mild case of ‘pectus excavatum’.
Any information, advice, tips, criticism anything and everything is welcome and appreciated on this subject, but in particular I’d like advice on what size and type of bra to buy.
“Jonathan”…Just go get a “Professional Bra Fitting”…You won’t regret it !!! “Paula”
“Jonathan”…It is nice to fill a Bra with “Natural Breasts”…No matter what size they are.
Most of the time on line bra stores will have a size and fit section where you can find the proper fit for your breasts and frame. It will tell you how to measure yourself and how many inces to add or subtract to get the right cup and band size. Just find the size and fit section the follow directions. I hope this works fir you.
Try 32 B. A=1 inch bigger than band, B=2 inches bigger than band. You are 2.5 inches and a C cup may not fill out.
Great advice on bras. I wear a couple and thoroughly enjoy them. I’ve cut out the cups and let the underwire lift my little boobs. I am thinking of supplements to grow them…

How?
I just purchased a dress with no shoulders staps. What type of bra should I get?

I don;t need breast forums cause 2012 I had implants so I go fem all the time over 500ccs plus i am little over weight and still have problem bra fitting 42c
I am a male and has been wearing bra the last many years. Over the years my breasts have increased in size and nipples are perkier and cherry coloured. Some times I even wonder how can a male has such wonderful and enourmous breasts. I wear 42″ D cup bra. No need to put any thing insidethe bra to fill as my breasts itself is more than than sufficient to fill the bra cup. Nipples protrude through the bra. I wear light simple bra but the problem is nipples are clearly visible as it is protruding but I like the size and shape of the nipples with its cherry colour around. I wear some times T shirt and nipples can be seen though the shirts but I am really proud of it. I don’t find any problem in getting the correct size of bra as I am thin and my breasts are so big even ladies envy it at its size.
“Thomas”…Isn’t it great to have “Natural Breasts and Fill A Bra”…I’m a natural 46B/46C Bra wearer…For the last 4 months, I have been taking “InstantBust Capsules” to increase my breast size even more…So far, I am happy with the results.
Reading crossdresser fantasies makes me want to vomit.
