Hi, just writing this post as a sort of vent but also to ask since this is a first for me.

Since the start of my transition I quickly noticed that I can’t easily wear womens tops. Since they can fit tighter and sometimes be thinner, there’s sometimes a couple destracting problems on my chest. I’ve started HRT now and even my mens fit tops are a problem since my nipples are even more prominent, and I’ve basically just been wearing sweaters or hoodies to hide them. Currently I’m wearing a coat, and in general wearing two layers all the time is uncomfortable and complicates my outfit choices. This would be easier if I’m boymoding, but that’s kind of difficult for me given I’ve thrown away that possibility, and generally look queer no matter what I do.

Anyway, I thought it would be a bit too early to start buying bras (there’s still basically nothing there), but clearly I have to do something. I’ll ask my Mum but I think I may as well ask here too, what should I do? and if the answer is to buy one what should I be looking for? (I literally have no idea what I’m doing)

    Super LPT: Get some KT (Kinesiology) tape! Its body safe elastic tape that is used for things like wrapping joints to support them after an injury, but has many other uses.

    My GF has small tits and a lot of muscle so she doesn’t fit in basically any bra ever made, at all. A single strip of KT tape vertically keeps the nipples from showing or being rubbed raw all the time, but retains the titty shape.
    And you can keep it on for a couple days per use, without needing to remove through showers and exercise since it is breathable, meaning one roll of tape goes a long ways.
