+Come back next month! We're not always like this; this is usually a blog about the _science and philosophy_ of autogynephilia, not the _practice_ of it. It's just—I need to host this page of product reviews somewhere, and because science and philosophy unfortunately require some amount of empirical data, this is the place.

+One of the disappointing things about breastforms is that they're [noticeably—not actually part of your body.](/2017/Sep/hormones-day-156-developments-doubts-and-pulling-the-plug-or-putting-the-cis-in-decision/#first-breastforms) There is an _edge_ between the form and your actual chest.
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 both 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.
-... I did not fit. It took a huge stuggle just to get it on at all, and I did substantial damage to the suit in the process, ripping a huge tear in the back (from the center to the left hip), _and_ derailing the zipper, _and_, somehow, detaching the sides of the zipper from the suit.

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, and on that count, I'll easily accept the rip in the back as "my fault", but the way the zipper derailed and detached so easily seems like more of an indicator of a low-quality product?
- The cleavage is nice

-The breasts hang significantly too low—but
+The cleavage is visually nice (no seam when looking own at one's chest!), but the breasts hung significantly too low—
I would describe the overall effect as "cartoony."
* hard to fit member in urination option, I swear it leaked urine out side?—not sure how the hydraulics worked there
+"The most jiggle and bounce imaginable"

* also: can't masturbate with the bottom on!
The product page had already warned that all sales of this item were final (would _you_ want to buy one of these used?)
* I like the idea, but overall, do not recommend

It really looks like a woman's face!
* 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?
