Tonight as I was doing laundry I cam3 across the first bra I ever owned. A 46C simple little thing. Back then I didn't have the heart to go back to Walmart and buy another, so from 1997 to about 2004 it was the only bra I everhad.

At first, I wore some foam falsies given to me by my friend Steph as a birthday present. Once I started hormones, and my breasts started developing, they managed to fill out the falsies, and then the cups on their own.

Being trans, I'm incredibly lucky. When I finally decided to get some new bras, I measured myself...many time...because I couldn't believe the tape. 54D.

My father's mother was very very well endowed, and it seems that I inherited those genes. They still are rather conical and not teardrop shaped, so thet DO have a ways to go yet. Although walking by my bathroom, and seeing my shadow on the opposite wall, those things sure make a nice shadow. I'm not proud of much on my body, but at least I got hair and boobs (not necessarily n the same place).

I've still got a few years growth, and what's going on now is more "reactivation" than new growth. But lemme tell ya - that poor old 46C bra has seen better days, and I'm retiring it.

Is there some kind of WomanLaw about this? Does it need to be burned at sundown with Taps playing?

I like to stick the few bras I've ever been able to wear with a knife and keep the tatters around for a few days to recall fondly the days I was a C-cup, but I think most people just huck 'em in the trash.

I'm a 42 DD, and it's not pleasant. Particularly since I actually have a nasty latex allergy, and most bras have latex in the elastic and don't entirely cover said elastic. Yuck.

I'm going to ask for pictures. I'd show you pictures of my first bra, but I gave it to my little sister (who's about as big around the waist as I am at the thigh) who used it to get someone to leave her alone, and it got confiscated.

Pictures of the boobs? Or the bra? Or the boobs in the bra? :)

The bra, silly. If I want to see boobs, I can just look down. ;)

I sort of just keep them around and forget to throw them out. I don't know if Goodwill or anyone takes them or not--if it's clean and in reasonably good shape, probably. Otherwise, it might be kind of grody.

I think part of me is terrified that I'll wake up and there'll be a horrible bra shortage, so I keep my spares just in case.

*considers*

Nah. I'm just lazy.

I wear 'em till they pop a wire or something, then I throw 'em out with little conscience. By some horror I found myself becoming a D cup this year, and despite losing 20 pounds this year I'm still the same size. Hopefully at some point my boobs will realize "Hey! We're supposed to be a C ... no, make that a B cup!" so in anticipation of that blessed day I keep my smaller-cup bras that still show signs of viability. Being androgynous at heart, the smaller the boob the happier I am ... too bad I'll need to lose another 30 pounds to get them where I'd like them to be (at least, that's how it's always worked before).

Oh the trials of being a D and trying to pull off androgyny. :X I got a rather rude awakening when I found a strapless bra for wedding that was a 42 D :X

You're supposed to drape them over two tiny icebergs and send them out to sea, like Eskimo grandparents.

Gosh, with the post title, I was expecting to SEE the boobs.

You DO have magnificent hair. And apparently boobs as well.
