Does anyone know where I’m can find cute bra/bralette and pantie sets? I really want cute comfy matching sets and the only place I’ve found is warriorsandscholars.com and they have like no stock.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

    I bought my tucking underwear from tcomfits. They’ve even sent me free samples for upcoming products over the last year! They are functionally amazing, but not necessarily the cutest. For my bras, to save money while I figured out what worked for me, I purchased different brands and types from Nordstrom Rack.

    I super recommend using this calculator for bra sizing. They even have a setting for transfems which was exactly what I needed as other methods of measuring weren’t really connecting me with the right bras https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php

        Just want to add my support for LeoLines, just know that different listings are only available on certain days, so check back throughout the week. They’re expensive, but they’re handmade, designed specifically for trans women, super fucking cute, and when I’m wearing them, I literally have no bulge. I can wear leggings, skinny jeans, etc and no one could possibly tell what parts I have. Without pants on, u can see the padding (make sure to get the padded version), but even without pants it’s hard to tell! All u need to do is push the “stuff” down so it’s like horizontal and underneath if u get what I mean. No tape tucking required! U will get used to the feeling of this kind of “tucking” with time, and honestly at this point I feel uncomfortable when I’m not tucked down there. Just be aware that it does cause more sweat lol. I’d get the cotton version personally, but iirc they have Lycra if that’s ur jam.

        They also sell handmade bras, but honestly I’d just go with some bralettes from somewhere cheaper to start out. U don’t usually need to know ur band and cup size for bralettes, and they’re usually available as small/medium/large/etc sizes instead of band and cup size. By design, they can accommodate a range of cup sizes, so u don’t need to keep buying new bras as u grow! Personally, I got my bralettes and T-shirt bras from Pact bc they’re a very environmentally friendly brand, and their stuff is all cotton (my skin doesn’t like synthetic fibers). But just shop around and see what there is. U don’t need bras specifically made for trans women unless u want a lot of padding to increase how large they look.

          I have a bit of a personal question, so PLEASE feel free to not answer:

          <spoiler title>

          Are you on hrt? I have been having a lot of dysphoria surrounding my bulge day-to-day (not out, still boy mode unless I’m in my section of the house) and some of the underwear I’ve tried are either meant for “showers” that can tuck fully underneath without fear of shrinkage, or smaller ladies/people on hrt who are small enough to “push in” if you will.

          I’m a grower, not on hrt (yet) and almost nothing short of taping has worked more than about half an hour, except a single pair of panties I have that’s a little too small in the legs for my thighs. And taping every day is not only expensive but probably also not healthy for everything. Tape keeps it all smooth and in place. The underwear leaves enough space that the girls shift around and cause a bulge to appear and I can not only feel it but I can see it every time I step even if nobody else notices.

          So I’ve been on the lookout for something to help me out there.

            I’ve been on HRT since January 15th, 2024, but I started wearing my LeoLines before HRT. I am also very much a “grower”, but I’ve never really had problems with stuff moving around in my LeoLines. It’s a compression garment, so it keeps things in place pretty well, and the added padding helps smooth things out underneath so it looks smooth. The only problems I had before with moving around were mostly due to spontaneous events, which no longer happen to me on HRT (thankfully; that was the worst). I ofc can’t guarantee that it will work for everyone, but they worked beautifully for me. I just recommend going the breifs option instead of bikini, bc its easier to keep things in place, and when I sleep, I do move stuff back up bc I sweat a lot there if I don’t and it gets uncomfortable.

              Thank you so much for replying, I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable with the question or it’s phrasing.

              I’m glad to hear it should be better than what I currently have!

                Oh don’t worry, I’m fine talking abt it to help out another trans woman! Also, I had 0 problem whatsoever being asked if I were on HRT (I’m very happy about my journey with HRT, but I know it’s a touchy subject for some folks). I will say to make sure you measure hips and such for sizing, and use the LeoLines sizing chart, as they aren’t standard sizes (I’m usually a women’s small, but was an extra small in LeoLines). And yeah, they’re expensive. I forked out the money to buy 10 pairs, and the only regret I have is that 4 of them were bikini, and I definitely prefer the breifs. They’re machine washable with delicates and hang dry. They’ve held up really well for the 2ish years I’ve had them!

                Also, I will say that I had issues with it not lasting when I used regular panties (not LeoLines). Wearing 2 panties layered helped a bit, but I still had to readjust occasionally. LeoLines are set and forget for me. The only time anything comes untucked is when I either take them off (like when I have to use the restroom) or when I purposefully move stuff (like I do right before I sleep to give my stuff the time to not be sweaty lol)

                  Yeah, I know a couple women who don’t like talking about their current situation, so I try to be respectful of others boundaries.

                  I took a quick look at their page and I like what I see, and it’s not much more than I was expecting to spend honestly.

                  In the morning I will have to go do some measurements, I am woefully neglecting my sleep…

                  Thanks for the response!

    Depends, what are you looking for? What have you tried so far? If you specifically need tucking underwear, that’s going to limit your choices. If you can instead tuck while wearing one or two pairs of underwear sized a bit small, then your options open up.

      Interesting, I never considered Duluth and buy all my work pants from them. I’ll have to take a look
