Breast forms are one of the most popular, and most sought after gender-affirming products for MtF transgender women. Breast forms are prosthetic devices that can be easily worn in a bra or attached directly to the skin to create the appearance of breasts.

For many trans women, breast forms are a major game-changer, helping them to enhance their feminine curves and boost their confidence level.

MtF shapewear can be particularly helpful for trans women who have not yet undergone hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or who are not yet satisfied with the results of the curves achieved with HRT. Body shapewear and corsets are available in a variety of styles and sizes, and can be worn discreetly under your clothing.
