Dare To Go Braless: Breast Form Adhesive
Well girls, if you have been reading my articles, then you surely read about using the inexpensive full sized breast enhancer’s for a more natural breast. Well, while they work fine when properly padded inside, I started to think about how well they might work when attached with adhesive. Now we are all told that this is a no-no. We simply just don’t go gluing breast forms onto out bare chests. One of the main reasons is that your run the risk of damaging the forms. And at upward of $500 a pair, this is a costly mistake. But at $40 a pair, hey, if I rip one, I go out and buy two more.
Some time ago, I had been surfing the web and ran onto Tanya Brown’s Breast Emporium at
www.ruralamerica.net/~tanya/. She advertised an adhesive that she claimed was safe to use, on occasions, for breast form attachment. After some E-Mail questions (tanya@ruralamerica.net) I decided to order the "glue".
Now the traditional approach is to use the full breast forms and attach them to your chest. My concern is that they are held onto your body by your chest skin only. And a full form is quite heavy. An article by Kalina Isato some time ago in TG Forum about her experiences dancing with forms attached to her chest and the consequences, makes my shy away for this approach. Now the enhancer’s are considerably lighter. With some foam stuffed inside and cut to fit your chest, they feel very natural, but lighter.
Any way, to continue with my story, the wheels in my head began to turn. If I glue the enhancer’s, I get natural feeling breasts, but less weight on my skin. While I usually wear a "C" cup, a "B" cup is still satisfactory. As you recall, the enhancer’s made for a B/C cup size, gave a nice fitting "B" cup when properly filled. Putting 2 plus 2 together gave me the idea to glue them on directly. The enhancer’s have a nice feathered edge which should add to the fit. First I contoured the foam insert so the enhancer’s laid on my chest with all edges not quite touching my chest, with no external pressure, but at the same time did not collapse when touched. In other words, I made the foam inserts as near a perfect fit to the inside shape of the enhancer as I could so that they also fit my natural body contours.
Next I glued the foam into the enhancer with this same adhesive (optional). Then I removed all traces of skin oil and any nuisance hair. A word of caution here, Tanya suggests you shave at least a day or more before applying the glue. I believe this is because the glue will irritate newly shaven hair follicules. I then put on a bra to further check the fit. That being done, it was time to mark their location. I laid on my back (bra off), and positioned the enhancer’s to where I wanted them. While still on my back, I marked their outline with the lip liner pencil, being careful not to move the enhancer’s in the process. Next I stood in front of a mirror and checked the alignment of the markings and made appropriate corrections. Now it was time to apply the glue.
The glue has a consistency of Elmers Glue and is white. The glue is a special skin adhesive made for colostomy bag attachment and is made be Smith + Nephew called Skin Bond. You can find it usually at a drug store that is located with a hospital. Most neighborhood stores don’t carry it nor know how to get it. Tanya also sells it. There is also a remover which you must have called Uni-Solve. Cost was about $25 for a bottle that should last a lifetime. Keep it stored in a cool place though.
I applied the adhesive on both sides and across the top of the marked area with about a 3/4" wide strip of glue, leaving just the bottom open. A also applied it to the rim of the enhancer on the same areas. Per the instructions, I waited about 5 to 10 minutes for it to dry. Now this stuff is a contact adhesive, so you only get one chance to get it right. Do Not try to pull it off and reposition as you may rip your skin or the enhancer’s. With the lines located, I held the top of the enhancer and the nipple, and positioned one side. Then I pressed down on the other side to finish the attachment. The glue should extend a bit beyond the form.
Once the forms are attached, you can merely dust the exposed adhesive with talcum powder, or it you really want to show off your breasts, try carefully removing the exposed adhesive with a Q Tip and some Uni-Solve by brushing the solvent away from the enhancer, starting at it’s edge. Be careful not to use too much as it may loosen the glue under the form. Then take some foundation that matches your chest skin color and apply it over the enhancer’s and the surrounding skin. The attachment line should be barely noticeable at a distance. Quite dramatic I think.
I have worn mine this way for 6 hours with only minor itching. I’ve noticed that the skin quickly returns to its normal appearance with only minor redness. This is the advantage of using a light weight enhancer over a full weight breast form. Under a thin stretch blouse with no bra the appearance is breath taking and feels great. No visible sign of a connecting line. A deep plunge blouse likewise is great. In fact being braless was more fun than wearing one.
Once the ball is over and Cinderella has to turn back into a maid, you must carefully remove the forms. I suggest using a Q Tip dipped into the solvent.
Start at the point where there is no glue and with a gentle sawing action remove the attachment points. You will need to pull very gently on the form while sawing the glue. Keep the Q Tip moist. Eventually the from will completely release. Now you need to remove all the excess glue from both the form and the your skin. For this I used a paper towel or tissue dipped into the solvent. Once done, wash the form with mild soap and likewise for your skin. Apply some moisturizer to your skin.
I tried all sorts of lingerie and bra styles with them attached. I tried bending over braless and bouncing around. At no time did I feel discomfort to my skin. The feel to my hands was very nice. And of course the look was fantastic. All in all the effort to achieve the look was worth it. Bear in mind this is not a process you go through for a short outing. It took me about 30 minutes to set up and apply the enhancer’s, and about 45 minutes to remove them and the glue. When removing the glue, you will notice it comes off in gooey balls. So watch where they go, they will stick to things.
Well, in my opinion, this approach works just fine. The really nice part is the glue goes a long way, the enhancer’s are relatively cheap and there is minimal stretching of the chest skin. Well girls, enjoy your new look. Drop me an E Mail at diane923@tgforum.com if you have any questions.
