Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rulesβ¦
- Women onlyβ¦ trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isnβt allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Donβt be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Donβt hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I feel so called out
But how, when this is the only comfy one?
Uuhhhh... thanks for the reminder π
I got lucky, I found a brand that fits me perfectly and their bras are only $20-25. So every few years, I buy 7 then wear one each day of the week and wash monthly. I also use laundry bags when I wash them and I hang dry them instead of using the dryer. I get a lot more time out of my bras since I started doing that.
Definitely longer
At the moment I only own two "real" bras and a handful of sports bras. The real bras are pocketed for prosthetics, so are quite expensive. I only wear the real bras for a few hours at a time, so I figure they can go at least two weeks. The sports bras get stuffed with one of the "knitted knockers" fiberfill prosthetics that I got in the mail a couple of weeks before surgery. They get washed right after being worn for exercise, prosthetic and all.
Guilty as charged. I've a bra I haven't washed in like two weeks... π
It's been so long, it's growing another strap.
I'm feeling called out
