On our ongoing hunt to expand our range of gender affirming underwear and our mission to have styles suitable to everyone that visits our store (in our Melbourne lingerie store or by shopping online), we’re so proud to be highlighting our newest bra from Rubies Shine. The same brand who created the best selling smoothing underwear and the popular Brooke Bra, comes their latest creation, the Ava Seamless Padded Bra - the perfect mix of sensory friendly design and added boost for our male to female customers. We’re such a fan, we’re voting it the best trans bra on the market 🥇 (that we’ve seen anyways).
About The Predecessor - Brooke
To date, the Brooke bra has been one of our go-to styles for those looking for some light padded volume in the cup, easy sizing options and versatile design. The bra was designed specifically with trans girls, non-binary tweens, and trans women in mind so the removable padding allows for easy adjustment allowing for experimentation with bust size - perfect for those with no-little chest development. While loved by many, some wearers who were more prone to skin irritation found that the lace was slightly itchy - something that’s been changed in the new Ava style.
Introducing Ava - Seamless, Smooth, and Sensory Friendly
🥁 Drumroll please… Meet Ava, the next generation of transgender bras. Specifically designed for those with little to no chest development, the Ava bra features “buttery-soft” fabric (praised by all of our customers so far), no itchy tags and no seams digging in - a truely sensory friendly design. Just like the Brooke Bra, the Ava features two internal pockets to hold removable padding making it versatile to transition between a moulded and soft cup style. The bra has a smooth and seamless finish making it perfect for hiding seams under clothing and irritation-free for all day wear - just in time for your Melbourne summer outfits dresses 💃 The wide band around the back offers extra comfort and support, while the centrally positioned straps prevent any strap slipping.
We’ve stocked up on sizes XXS (great for trans youth) all the way through to 4XL in black and sandstone colours.
The Feedback So Far
Honestly, the fittings speak for themselves - everyone who’s tried the Ava bra on so far has purchased it without hesitation. Those who previously found themselves with irritation from lace or fabrics have expressed their happiness to have found a bra that caters so well to their body. The feel of the bra has been by far the biggest response - praising the bra for it’s SUPER soft feel.
