You need to order 6 more bras so you can have a fresh one every day. It would feel better because the fabric stretches as you wear them like underpants do. I wouldn't want to wear the same pair of underwear every day. It would get stinky and start to chafe me when I went a couple of days when I was driving semi truck and needed to do laundry

Good luck getting an endocrinologist to help you I've been off testosterone for a month now and feel great but am having mind fog issues I just got a call back from the pa and he said no to estrogen and wanted to see me. I see him Thursday. I hope you have better luck getting your wish.
I'm seeing an endocrinologist shortly and hope she'll write a prescription for estradiol and hopefully also progesterone. The mind fog is real on low T and easily dealt with using estradiol. It might also resolve by itself given time, but don't count on it. There is no legitimate reason to deny this option to you. I'd rather not self-medicate, but will continue to do so if that's my only option.

In Ontario, where I live, hormones are available on informed consent. I told my doctor I wanted them and was referred to an endocrinologist. I had a chat with him about what I wanted and the health issues and was given the prescription.

arrived today. While it is very comfortable, the one I ordered is a little tight. I’m going to order another now. Thanks again for the heads up.

I wore this bra all day today. I stacked a truckload of firewood today and it was very comfortable. I’m starting to much appreciate wearing a bra everyday as tight t-shirts are not as comfortable as they used to be. Thanks, again.

Hey, mine arrived a couple days ago. As suspected, the XL was a bit too snug, but the 2XL fits pretty well. I tried a number of shirts on over it, and I don't see outlines of it under almost anything. The stretchy breast area seems to stabilize them good enough. I'm still wrapping my head around wearing this garment, though that is all it is. Guys wearing these has been so thoroughly mocked, derided, ridiculed, portrayed as unacceptably deviant in our culture, I'm struggling with it. Though of course I've been castrated, and that's way out of the mainstream too!

How do you know when you need a bra? I have over a handful.

Millions of men have gynecomastia and never wear a bra. My decision was based on the initial teasing from my wife and then her suggestion we buy one and try it. So in the end it's strictly up to you, for even if it's not an absolute necessity you may find it comfortable and supportive. Some guys get a sexual rush from it and some women do as well. Many men wear one to hide their man boobs in public. Other men wear a bra to actually accentuate their breast. There is no right or wrong, just do what you like.
I've been in a bra now for about a week and I think it's going to be a permanent part of my wardrobe, especially as I am anticipating more breast growth since beginning estrogen. I like it, my wife likes it and it really makes me feel comfortable.
For round $15 you can get a bra from Walmart or Amazon. Try the one I suggested earlier and see if you like it then go from there.

I’ve been growing boobs for about four years. I’m kinda stuck at a B-Cup now. I don’t wear a bra every day. Certainly not through all my growing years. But I’m at the point where I have enough projection, that a t-shirt tucked in tight, has a flattening effect that is very uncomfortable over an nine hour work day. So, I wear one now a lot to keep from feeling this uncomfortable feeling all day.

Well, there is the Ann Landers pencil test (
