Not sure where to ask this but I’ve been enjoying my transition a lot, even with the period included (not the nicest but still affirming).
That said, I’ve noticed a mild issue: sleeping position. My boobs are now getting in the way of sleeping fully on the side.
Currently, the “solution” I’ve gotten is to basically sleep in a fetal position halfway inbetween that of “on stomach” and “on side”, with my arms in an L shape under the ergonomic head pillow. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than sleeping normally on the side, which sadly is a little difficult now.
I figured I’d ask other gals about here. Do you lot have any tips on this?
And do clothes help differently? Like I see sleeping skirts and pajamas, but I heat up easily and I’m not so quite sure if they’d help.


I’m pretty big (I think I’m DDD?) but I sleep on my side, no problem. Sleeping on my stomach was a problem because it over-arched my back. But I also have pretty wide breasts, so while they have a lot of volume, it’s quite firm and spread out I guess? So I’ve never felt the need to wear a sleep bra (though I often do when on vacation and sharing a suite with extended family or something).
