Try buying breast forms!!! I did this pre hrt and it helped soooo much to alleviate chest dysphoria and everything. It can be a bit difficult to search for them and to find a good pair, but if you just search mastectomy breast forms you should find some good ones. I got mine off amazon but I’m sure there’s a bunch of other places you could look. Good luck girl!!!
I'll look into but I'm still quite closeted about this stuff though so I'll have to hide them somewhere when I end up buying them. *edit* I'm only out to one friend about this as they went through the same feelings I went through when it comes to identity.
Breast forms are great, but can be expensive depending on budget. Cheap and effective option I suggest buy some nylons, fill with dried rice, and tie it off. You can experiment a bit with size (amount of rice), firmness (doubling or tripling over the nylon once it’s filled), and the knot you tie it off with provides a pseudo-nipple.
Also as you are closeted if found and questioned about them, they’re some home made re-useable heating/cooling pads. To further sell it, keep the ones you don’t like in the freezer.
The OG way of balling up some socks or underwear work but are a bit firm. You could also look into thick bra paddings and put it in the bra. (Not sure how great these are as I haven't tried them yet) Also don't know if a brick and mortar store sells them or if they are like only found online.
I just acquired a few sports bras with removable padding, took 3 per side and stacked them so it looks like I have small boobs when wearing a Tshirt. But breast forms are a great option since they can be larger size and not look fake.
Roll up socks and stuff em in there. It's not perfect, but people are likely not gonna notice. Padded bras are also great; before I was able to afford some breast forms that's what I relied on. They can't make you have massive badonkadonks or anything, but they can enhance the shape a bit
One small tip to add: removable padding or light mastectomy inserts in an A or small B size usually look more natural under everyday clothes than overstuffing. Softer materials help with shape and movement, and sticking to subtle sizing keeps it believable and comfy.

Would a spare pair of tights work as the shops I live buy sell packs of tights, I'm thinking that could also work in a way.
Yep tights should work too, there just would be more extra fabric to trim off at the end
What size are you going for?

I'm going for an A or B since I wanna match it to what I'll most likely get when I get on hrt later on.

i always just use socks personally, it's not exactly realistic when you've got nothing else on, but underneath a shirt it's pretty convincing tbh
I just tried the sock method earlier, it deffo looks convincing. This is the happiest I've felt like I'm showing like a genuine smile for once :)

A cheap and quick option is using a sock, just fold them and use it as a padding, but yeah a real breast insert/padding would look and feel better.

I'm happy for you op but what is this color scheme?
my mind went to butcher vanity after seeing that color scheme
I just booted up photoshop then went with my gut tbh haha
I’ve found that the best way to pad a sports bra is with oodles of estradiol. :)
The estradiol will have to come later so I'll need to work what I have
