    Does anyone have tips for fake breasts? I know there are replacements called Bossom Buddies for women who've had mascetomies, but I'd feel a tad weird going to medical supply asking for breasts when it is costume related. I imagine they might be more expensive since they are 'medical' instead of for sexy.

    Has anyone (or claim a friend has) tried the other version put out by lingerie places? Are they hard to stay in position? Do you need a real breast under them?

    Well I've seen those jell filled bras at JC penny's. But I would imagine that you would need something under them.

    Is this for a costume a man is going to wear or something?

    I agree. Frederick's of Hollywood is definitely the place to look for that.

    Sadly I have some knowledge in this arena. I used to sell them at a Bridal fabric shop I used to work at. There are different types of "fake breasts" to fill up your cup. The kind you would be most interested in is the kind that actually look like real breasts and even have a nipple!!! They come in different flesh tones (mocha, suntan, ivory, etc.) and they are a type of material that is compact but "squishy" The back of them is kinda concave so that it can sit upon your real breast. They will sort of cling to your flesh within a bra or swimsuit-but if you want to use them nude you would have to use double stick tape or a roll on body adhesive. They sell for around $30.00 a pair ( hey it's cheaper than surgery :) ) Honestly, I have never seen them in a big cup size--probably the biggest I've seen is maybe a C cup. Fredricks would have them--and so does this place Click Me

    Another option is those huge fake boob sets they sell at costume shops. They are like molded out of plastic and are usually HUGE and look realistic w/ their details. I think they work like a bra and tie around you.
    Try Here for those.

    Ferd :)

    Holy crap, I am not spending $179 per pair on fake boobs! It's just for a party next weekend, no interest in are those breasts screen accurate? types. I thing going with the Joann's padding might be the cheaper alternative. :)
