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)

Oh, if it's just your nipple outline you want hidden, anything with even the slightest bit of padding will do you fine! I would suggest pasties, but wearing anything that isn't breathable most of the time is a recipe for a fungal infection. I'm speaking from experience unfortunately. 🫣
