(Also, please specify how you'd like to be credited/identified on this page.) Current Topic: Inexpensive Breast Forms. Elsewhere on the site I've advocated using water filled condoms as in inexpensive way to create realistic breasts. Until recently I've been quite happy with this method. In particular I like the shape and flexibility you can get from a condom (as opposed to say, a balloon) as well as the bounce and feel. The abilty to create breasts of varying sizes is also a plus. When I venture out in the public eye I tend to keep a lower profile than when I'm bound and dressed to the nines. Recently however it seems they're making condoms too thin to be reliable (I've been using the unlibricated Trojans without the recepticle end.) Perahps another brand/style would be order. Here's my method of creating them...
Several people have written suggesting the use of balloons, sometimes doubling them up. I've tried this approach but didn't like it nearly as much as the condoms. They seemed quite stiff and round so I wasn't happy with the look (shape) or feel (bounce). I haven't experimented extensively with balloons however so I'd love to hear of other experiences with this method. Another approach I've used is simple foam forms (the likes of which you can get at Fredrick's of Hollywood) which I find look pretty good but just don't have that same weighty feel to them. I also remember reading long ago about women using birdseed in a stocking as a masectomy form. Anyone tried this? I've also noticed that the choice of bra has a big effect on the result as well. Low cut, push-up and padded bras tend not to work too well as they don't hold the forms very well and they tend not to give a smooth finish either. Underwire bras work pretty well unless they're firm support bras in which case you might just as well use a couple of tennis balls. Sports bras and some non-underwire bras work surprisingly well and give you a real feeling of bounce when moving around. Ok, I've rambled on enough for now, let's here from you!

I am actually surprised that they don't work.
For a guy they work really good. No, there is no particular balloon except I
would take the normal 8" or 12" balloons, and remember to fill them with water
but you must slide the balloon over the faucet a little bit and hold them
there. I wish I could show you how it works. Let me know how you make out.
Just buy regular balloons you find in any Hallmark store or so. Don't buy the
really little cheap one for water balloons. Just buy the regular size
balloons. If you need more help let me know.

Hello, I use the latex ones that are specifically used for parties...I buy them in flesh color. They are amazingly durable (unlike the water balloon kind). They even perform well with warm water in them (though a warning: You can make the water just alittle too hot...not enough to discomfort, but still enough to leave minor burns on your skin...maybe it's just my tolerance to pain, but I've gotten the temperature wrong a couple times, and been left with very itchy minor burns...) If you go and look for these yourself, try a Hobby/Party Store...in Washington, we have Michael's and Ben Franklin as the major chains. Look for balloons with the what would feel like double to triple the thickness of a condom.
I'm intending soon to experiment with adding liquid latex to the
balloon, built up in layers to form a small nipple; my main
concern is whether the stuff they put into the liquid latex to
keep it fresh (amonia, usually), will react in an adverse way to
the balloon latex....Will keep you posted.
