"Tips & Hints".......Creating Breasts
In the solo pursuit of the feminine form for myself, I have tried a whole bunch of ways to create breasts. Nothing can beat a "proper" breast form, which range up to $ 500. However, when I had no one to talk to, and didn't want to ask any questions, I made do with what I could come up with, at a whole lot less money.
There are a lot of people who will tell you "Don't make them too big", and they are probably right. I believe as long as you are happy, then whatever the size really doesn't mater. Let everyone decide for themselves. Here are some ideas that I have tried....before spending the money on real breast forms.
The water balloons! Yes, I'll bet every T-girl has done this at one time or another. They do have a nice weight, and really are squishy enough*S*. However, there is always a possability of a leaker, which would be a bad thing during a sale at Sears!! Anyway, fill a balloon with a whole lot of water, to stretch it out a bit, then let the water out until you have about a half a cup or slightly more of water in the balloon. (Oh, do this TWICE*S*). Once you have the right size, tie the balloon, then place the balloons in the toe of an old stocking, and tie a knot in the stocking close to the balloon and cut off the excess. This will give you a nice nipple:-). You will be amazed at how nice this feels when you place them in your bra*S*. Plus, the weight of the water gives them a real nice jiggle too! Depending on your size, you can experiment with how much water to use to create the look you want. You can also use rice or something similar in the stocking, which gets rid of the possibility of a leak. Have fun experimenting:-)
For years I used foam as a breast form. This may sound silly, but many years ago, when the toy "Nerf Ball" came out, I got the great idea of cutting one in half, and using them as forms. They did work great for me, although they were not as big as I wished<LOL>. I did feel a whole lot more comfortable going out wearing them instead of the water, since the threat of a leak was not there.
Here's a great tip I received from a special sister, another "Charlie's Girl!", Kelly Garrett !....
"A tip you may wish to pass along to other girls who can't afford real breastforms. Take some plastic wrap from the kitchen, and set it into each cup of your bra. Take a tube of silicone sealer,(the kind you can buy in any home improvement store for under $4.00) and starting in the center of one cup, in a circular motion keep going round in a circle till the cup is full, then do the other side. Those girls who have large cup sizes may require two tubes. I personally had lots left over from the first tube, as with my build, a small cip size looks more natural. Leave the silicone to dry overnight. Next day the plastic wrap will peel right off the silicone. One thing, though, make sure you wrap your new breastform in something (I used the feet from an old pair of pantyhose) as the silicone may irritate your skin where it touches your body. This gives you a realistic fill for your bra, and also some weight."
Thanks Kelly for a great idea!! *HUGS*
