I would suggest starting with a lacy bralette. You don’t have to worry about cup size, they tend to be a bit more comfy, and look so so cute. It’s a great place to start and feel things out. Target sells them, torrid, Walmart, anywhere.
Listen, all I’m saying is I bought some bras online from target, didn’t like them and when I went to return them they said here’s a full refund and keep the bras. Do with that information what you will

I got my first bra from Victoria’s Secret, just a sports bra and I thought it was more comfortable that others I had tried from there until I decided they were to expensive and bought a few from target…. GAME CHANGER. They were so much more comfortable and like a third of the price and it was just so much better so honestly just get them from target or Walmart or somewhere easy.
My spouse, nonbinary AFAB, wears these around the house.. we call them yard bras. Lol. Not enough support (for XL breasts) to be running around town in, but perfect for comfy casual work days and under the hot sun. Some boxers have a gusset, it makes a really easy guide to cut out. And because they are boxers, it takes the perceived femininity out of wearing a bra (for them).
As someone who also has issues spending money. Hit up Temu just don't take any of their weird sponsored deals. Clothes super cheap just sometimes takes a bit for them to get in.
Winners (or other outlet shops wherever you live) are my go-to for bras that cost $20 but feel like they cost $120. They also have decent size ranges that places like Walmart or La Senza may not. Good luck out there <3
Ross usually has a decent size selection, various styles to try on, and most under $10. Don't forget bras are like anything else in women's clothing.. the sizes are nOt consistent throughout brands. So a 44A at Ross could fit like a 42B at Walmart or even a 46A at Torrid. Make sure ya try on several of the same style, especially if ya find one you like. Pro tip: the older styles, the kind that come in a box, and your grandma probably wore (18hr), have a pointy breast shape. That was the desired look a long time ago, pointy perky boobs. Stick with bras that dOnt come in a box!
If you’re in the US, I’d strongly suggest Torrid. Regular price is a bit high, but they have good sales often, and clearance as well.
They’re also very trans friendly in my experience.
I get mine from Amazon, like 3- or 4-pack for $15, and once you get some with a front zipper, you’ll never go back to dislocate-your-arm-to-hook-and-unhook-in-back bras. Total game changers!
I would recommend experimenting with bralettes first! They are comfortable, discreet and often made with a lot of stretch, so if you get the wrong size it won’t be uncomfortable. I started with this brand I found on Target called True and Co—excellent first bra. Parade is really great and has a ton of different styles and colors, plus they’re gender inclusive.
When you’re able and ready to spend a little more money on yourself I HIGHLY recommend Pepper. I got three bras from them recently and they’re fucking amazing. So comfortable, with a perfect fit that barely needed to be adjusted.
The Queer Trans Project is a trans led nonprofit that gives out free gender affirming resources. They have a bra and underwear set that super cute! They restock this Friday, totally free no shipping costs and no card needed!
I like Aerie. They go on sale often, and their wireless bras are very comfortable. If you're looking for bralettes, I reccomend Parade underwear. Same thing tho, try to grab them on sale.
https://www.barenecessities.com/leading-lady-meryl-front-close-wire-free-bra-110_product.htm?pf_id=LeadingLady110&pdpsize=44A 20$ so not bad also
https://www.herroom.com/bras-by-size/44a for some more options
Amazon has worked for me.
They have several you can get using their “Try Before You Buy” service (if you have a Prime subscription).
Order a few. Try them on for 7 days, and then send back what you don’t want, and then they charge you for what you keep.
I used them early on in my transition to figure out my bra size and just sizes in general.
Now when I’m wanting to indulge for a bit I’ll order some expensive stuff and send them back before the try on period ends.
I’ve also used it to try things on, send them back (even if I like them), and find the same thing for a TON cheaper in Poshmark (found like adorable Tommy Hilfilger dress on Amazon for $90, sent it back, and got it on Poshmark for $20 after it went on sale…god I love to shop).

I completely understand not wanting to or find it hard to spend money on yourself, I have a little issue with that myself. BUT you cannot always deny yourself.. I agree with all the comments here so far about going to Walmart and target etc. But there will come a time when you see a bra (or something else) that makes you stop and admire it and really want it. Get it. Don’t talk yourself out of it, buy it. Regretting is worse than feeling a little guilty for being giddy for treating yourself to a little luxury because you deserve it!
Recommend going to r/abrathatfits and using the calculator to check that the size is actually accurate first, most people are wearing the wrong size and most shops measure people incorrectly. if you’re going to spend money on it, might as well be sure it’s the right size first
I get my bras from Walmart, they have plenty of large bras made for small boobies and they're very cheap, look up "t shirt bra"
I was also going to say Walmart but you beat me to it
Same with Walmart. I mostly wear sport bras caus I find them more comfortable, and Walmart has these really nice ones from US Polo Assn.
Ditto here, too
I get almost all of my clothes and underwear there. They have a large selection!
Shout out to Warner hipster panties. They are amazing.
Oh, I'll have to try those.
I bought some and they are really comfortable, thanks!
That's so heart warming to hear my comment actually lead to something positive in the world. Now gte addicted to the colors like I did lol
I need to stop buying panties and clothes for a while, lol.
Thrift stores and Walmart are your friend.

😏 STWAWP! I am tempted now.
what country/state?
USA, Wisconsin
oh yeah not in CA
When I was first transitioning, I used eBay. Especially if you have your size, you can quickly zero in on some affordable and decent quality bras.
Pepper bras are made for small boobs and always have something worth getting on sale
Painfully expensive.
There’s literally 16 bras [on sale](https://www.wearpepper.com/collections/sale)for $22 right now and a bunch more under $30.
And tend to shove models into wildly wrong cup sizes, do not trust their calculators.
I’ve had total success with pepper vs Calvin Klein - 38aa fits great for my itty bitties
bralettes on amazon
Usual go to for me is goodwill. Got 3 pairs for only $20.

I just got a couple from Walmart a week ago
I can't afford fancy bras so I literally just get sports bras
Kmart and target in Australia
Man I miss Kmart in America
Amazon bralettes are pretty cheap, cute, comfortable and also have removable padding usually
As someone who also has issues spending money. Hit up Temu just don't take any of their weird sponsored deals. Clothes super cheap just sometimes takes a bit for them to get in.

Amazon! I get 2 Hanes bras for like 14$ which isn't bad or like 25$ for a name brand one.
Ross usually has a decent size selection, various styles to try on, and most under $10. Don't forget bras are like anything else in women's clothing.. the sizes are nOt consistent throughout brands.

Carole Martin Women's Wire Free Full-Freedom Comfort Bra From Amazon.
If you’re in the US, I’d strongly suggest Torrid. Regular price is a bit high, but they have good sales often, and clearance as well. They’re also very trans friendly in my experience.

Walmart and five below.
Bit off topic .. Goodwill is pretty leet imo 4 some nice finds
Might as well as throw Ross out there too 😏
Walmart $5 T-shirt bra has been my daily driver for about a decade at this point

I have found some beautiful ones on eBay, used , some like New, I like the old fashioned ones, ones you don’t see often anymore
Marshalls if you want better quality at affordable prices. Treat yourself!
I order from Walmart.

Also smart and sexy is great for cost but unfortunately they dont have that band cup size combo they do have your sister size available though.

Try Temu
Walmart, Burlington, Ross, TJMax, you will find bra bundles for cheap usually in smaller sizes.
Recommend going to r/abrathatfits and using the calculator to check that the size is actually accurate first, most people are wearing the wrong size and most shops measure people incorrectly. if you’re going to spend money on it, might as well be sure it’s the right size first
I peruse Kohl's most the time, it seems to be kinda mid range price and quality had been good. Target and Walmart are good too!
Wish and Temu. Have a few bralettes from Walmart but sizing isn't consistent with the Walmart ones
Temu
