-One of the disappointing things about breastforms is that they're noticeably—not actually part of your body.

+
+In contrast, this bodysuit featuring fake breasts _and_ a fake vulva, all in one piece, seemed like an appealing thing to try out. Compared to breastforms, the bodysuit promised to offer a "bottom" experience, and, not a more _seamless_ transformation on "top", but rather to put the seams in a potentially less conspicuous location (at the neck/arms/legs, rather than on the chest where they interfere with the illusion of actually having breasts).
+
+It only comes in one size, but according to the sizing chart, I ought to fit given my 37½″ underbust measurement.
+
+... it did not fit. I did _substantial_ damage to the suit just struggling to get it on: ripping a huge tear in the back to the left hip, _and_

+(In retrospect, I should have taken care to heed the direction to apply talcum powder to my skin and the inside of the suit, before stuggling so much.)
* I could not get this on, at all: huge rip on the back side, and the zipper came off; the former seems unambiguously like "my fault", but the zipper actually seems like low-quality product?
- * breasts hang too low, but that could be due to broken zipper
+ * should've listened to the baby powder direction before trying to squeeze it on
+
+
+
+
+The breasts hang significantly too low—but
+
+
* hard to fit member in urination option, I swear it leaked urine out side?—not sure how the hydraulics worked there
- * customer service was very nice and helpful, offered glue for zipper
+
+
* cleavage is nice
- * should've listened to the baby powder direction before trying to squeeze it on
- * purple fake rose petals in box are a nice touch
- * overall effect I would describe as cartoony
+ * also: can't masturbate with the bottom on!
+
+I would describe the overall effect as "cartoony."
+
+Customer service was very nice and helpful when I wrote to them about my experience.
+
+The product page had already warned that all sales of this item were final (would _you_ want to buy one of these used?)
+
+
+ * customer service was very nice and helpful, offered glue for zipper (I assume they don't hire actual women for those jobs)
+
* I ended up cutting it in half to try to wear the pieces separately, but the cut was a little too below waist for the now-"shorts"
+
+(The fake purple rose petals in the box were a nice touch.)
+
* I like the idea, but overall, do not recommend

**Cost:** $600
**Rating:** ★½

- * really good; it actually looks like a woman's face!!
+It really looks like a woman's face!
+
+The skin color and texture is much more realistic than the cartoon beige of the Gold Seal bodysuit reviewed above.
+
+(I wonder how much it helps that Crea FX are visual-effects artists by trade—makers of male masks and monster masks for movies and plays—rather than being in the MtF business specifically like the Breast Form Store. They know—I assume they _must_ know—that a lot of their female masks are purchased by guys like me,

+
* somehow looks worse in photographs than it does in the mirror?]
* worst nonrealism: visible eyeholes; fix—sunglasses?
* going to reprise Ens.-Sylvia-Tilly-wearing-sunglasses at Fan Expo 2022 to see if I can pass at all
Why write about this? Why write about icky erotic stuff on a blog that also has Science and Philosophy stuff that's _unambiguously_ safe for work? Well, in the current year I think there's actually a public interest in being clear that—if I'm the kind of person who becomes a trans women in Berkeley, which no one seems to dispute—this is the kind of thing people like me spend a lot of time on. And—it just, doesn't really seem like something actual-females would relate to
* I didn't masturbate from Sat. until Wed. in anticipation of trying on the mask in a hotel room; I was delighted that I came a little bit (entirely flaccid) while shitting—that's a sign that I had succeeded in building up, and yet somehow I didn't feel very horny or get as much pleasure when the time came? Maybe I'm getting old?
