Wear a Bra as a Male Crossdresser

If you're a male cross dresser, wearing a bra can help you achieve a more feminine shape. Here are some tips for how to choose and wear a bra for crossdressing.

Steps

  1. Measure your size. The key to a flattering bra is finding the right fit. Using a soft measuring tape, measure around your ribcage about 2 inches (5 cm) below your nipples. This measurement determines the band size of the bra.
  2. Find your band size. The band size refers to the numbers preceding the lettered cup sizes, such as 34B or 36D. Sizes are even numbers typically running from 30-42. Sizes are generally grouped as follows:
    27 inches (68.5 cm) = size 30
    28-30 inches (71-76 cm) = size 32
    31-33 inches (79-84 cm) = size 34
    34-36 inches (86-91 cm) = size 36
    37-38 inches (94-96.5 cm) = size 38
    Past 38 inches, sizes are calculated by rounding up to the next even number. So at 41 inches (104 cm) you would wear a size 42.
  3. Choose a cup size. As a man without actual breasts, choose whichever cup size gives you the look you prefer, from small to large. Size AA is the smallest cup size while DD tends to be the largest that is easy to find. Choose a cup size that best fits your body type. If you are thin and petite, a smaller cup size would look more natural.
  4. Choose a bra style. Bras are available in virtually any color and fabric. Decide which style best suits your needs and personal taste, from basic white to red lace. Also decide if you would like a bra with an underwire or padding. This can provide a better shape but might be less comfortable. For best results, try on several bras to see what looks and fits best.
  5. Purchase a bra. Bras are available at nearly any department store or big box store that sells clothing. If you are uncomfortable buying a bra in person, consider ordering online or ask a female friend to purchase one for you.
  6. Choose how to wear the bra. Once wearing your bra, decide whether you want to stuff it for a fuller, more natural look. This can be done with tissues, socks or even silicone inserts.
  7. Find the right top to wear with the bra. Ideally, the bra will not be visible, helping to achieve a natural look.

Tips

  • A bra with an underwire and built in padding will hold its shape better for a more natural look without additional padding.
  • Bra extenders may make wearing a bra more comfortable if you have a large rib cage. They are usually sold in the lingerie section.
  • Try wearing your bra at home first with a variety of clothes to make sure you are comfortable with how it looks and feels.
  • Many bra size calculators are available online to help you find your exact measurements.
