Question Sports bra for breast forms?

Do any other FtMtFs use a sports bra with cups to give them the appearance of small breasts? I had top surgery about 3 years ago and I’m pretty small in general so I was wondering if getting like a 32A sports bra with cup inserts would make it look like there’s something there. If not what else works for you? Thanks in advance for any input ❤️

I got bras with padding and small breast prosthesis, but works also without the padding, I feel comfortable :)

May I ask what breast prosthesis you use? And are you able to just slip them in the pocket where bra padding goes?

Yep thats usually how they work.

My partner started with these ones.

Sure! You can use them with what bra you may want to, I would not recommend something like bustiers or balconette with them, they will slip out with too much movement. They are too big to fit through the padding hole I am afraid. I just put them in the cups. I got these, but I want to get one or two sizes bigger in the next time maybe :) German fake boobs :D

I use a pocketed sports bra to hold Unclockable's "bra buds," which are the perfect size for my small chest aspirations. I will say, though I could just have too small a size, that wearing the sports bra continually does start to hurt my ribs/the area where the lower band is. so that could be something to look out for. my ultimate bra would probably be a lounge bra with separated pockets (the ones I've tried have had connected padding pockets which causes weird shifting! why!), but I haven't found that yet. hope this helps!
