Make Your Own Boobs

Yes girls, I know you have all heard about all the ways to make your own boobs and I'm here to tell you another way. But take heed, this one may be of interest to you because they feel natural.

Although I own a pair of the expensive forms, I've been intrigued with making a pair that feels the same as them, but costs less. And no I'm not talking about those fishing worm variety. There are full coverage enhancers on the market that sell for a fraction of what the full forms do. The problem with them is they are meant only to cover natural breasts and make them appear larger inside the bra. They are made of silicone and have the same soft case as the expensive ones, well maybe not as thick, but still silicone.

The ones I chose were sold be Lerner through their catalog and sold for about $45 for the pair after shipping was added. They have a nipple bump also. The problem is they have a cavity inside them to contour over the natural breast. I decided to do some experimentation in the Diane Kaye testing laboratory to see if they could be used, with a little coaxing, as a substitute for the full forms.

I tried two approaches to providing a backing for them. First I made a foam core out of some moderately firm packing foam. This is the type that looks like a sponge. I took a scissors and snipped on a chunk of foam until I got a shape that fit inside the enhancer. Next I put a slight hollow on the back of this foam shape to contour to my natural breast shape. By using a 36 B/C enhancer and the foamed core, I got a very nice fitting form for a B cup in a 36B bra.

The feel was soft but firm enough to approximate a true breast form's feel. The trick to achieving this feel lies in the density of the foam core, so experiment. The next experiment was to try some RTV caulking. To use this, I first placed the enhancers in their plastic case, so they assumed their correct shape. Next I lined the inside with Saran wrap so the RTV wouldn't stick to the enhancers. I then filled the cavity with RTV until it was about 3/4 full. I also scooped the center out slightly as I did with the foam to allow for a fit into my chest. Now when choosing an RTV, avoid the bath tub caulk as it has a chemical that kills molds and may irritate your skin. To be safe, I suggest you place a piece of soft cloth gently on top of the RTV so it sticks, but so as no RTV comes through the weave. Again, some experimentation may be in order and you will need a large tube of the RTV. Allow two days for it to cure before moving. A sharp knife or razor can help trim off bumps and rough spots. For those of you who live in the city and have never caulked a seam in your life, RTV stands for Room Temperature Vulcanizing rubber and is a silicone rubber.

I suspect the smaller sized enhancer would give a nice A cup for those who don't want to look pretentious. Well girls, I hope this has proved worth reading and offers yet one more way to make nice boobs.
