I'd like to say welcome to another fellow Southern Boy. I'm in the Southeast, too.
I can't offer specific advice on growing your nipples, but many people here use the supple-nips, or the equivalent. Hopefully some of the other members with knowledge in this area will chime in. Mine quadrupled in size when I hit about the 18th month mark when using PM/BO. I was on NBE for about 4.5 years, and then I switched to HRT and I'm almost at the 18th month mark with that now, too.
My areolas also grew in proportion with the size of my nipples, too. I personally attribute this to the use of BO & PC, as I think there are some anecdotal evidence of that affecting their growth. With anything I say here is not advice, but just my experience. There are a few knowledgeable members here on BN, but if you want to know the science behind the things you ask, then I'd say to do a deep dive into the Project-X thread by Lotus. She put an enormous amount of time into sharing her research with us.
If you want Montgomery Glands, then you're going to have to grow breasts. I'd say that a very large percentage of NB/MTF never get beyond a B or C-cup, but I'd also say that if you do, hiding these puppies is very easy to do. However, like you, I used to be a regular at nudist beaches and resorts, but I don't think I'll be going to another one anytime soon. The wife and I do go to the beach every year, and I can get away with laying out and even playing in the surf. I've just got to be stealth about it.
I personally got a huge ass and a pelvic tilt around the 18th month mark when using PM. I had used BO for several months around this time, and it's said to give you nice curves around your hips ass and thighs.
While I should have addressed male function a long time ago, NBE/HRT put my dick in the dirt for several years. Only recently did I start taking Viagra regularly, and it helped. A couple of months ago I started taking 5mg of Cialis daily and holy shit! I stay hard constantly now. That's my personal word of advice there.
When it comes to adding PC, I think it's been said to wait until you reach Tanner Stage one or two, as it could inhibit future growth down the line. After that, bioidentical progesterone without a doubt helps breast growth and overall feminization. Lotus has demonstrated this numerous times with studies posted. It definitely works. As far as PC goes, I believe the brand Lotus used to recommend was Smoky Mountain Naturals. I've used it before and it's very good.
In regards to Phyto/Estrogen Creams go, BioLabs Bi-Est 5.0 actually contains Estradiol. You can get it, and Smoky Mountain Naturals cheaper on eBay vs Amazon. Also, look into the research Lotus posted in the Project-X thread about DHEA Cream. That works, too. It's also cheaper on eBay vs Amazon.
Lastly, I'd personally recommend starting HRT over PM for feminization. I took PM and buckets full of herbs over a 4+ year period and HRT is vastly far and away more better than PM when it comes to achieving your goals. PM is something like less than 10% of the strength of E2. You'll get the results you desire so much faster with HRT vs PM.
Also, HRT is so much easier on your liver than taking tons of weak herbs for years, and your wallet will thank you, too!! Plus, liver health greatly benefits feminization. Active and healthy users have a much higher rate of success than those who don't focus on their physical health. I'm speaking from personal experience. Plus, the science backs this up, too.
Before you get worried, (like I was for years), that HRT means instant transition, don't be afraid. That's not the case. Also, you can do this DIY like I do, too. Just get regular bloodwork done at a local lab. You can check Reddit /TransDIY for advice on how to go about it this way. You don't have to do the insurance thing unless you want to. I'm not sure how things are in your State, but getting HRT prescribed for a "non-binary" is pretty common.
I'm 62 years old, and I still hang out at redneck biker bars drinking beer and such, and I never get a side-eye. Plus, I was a NASCAR photographer for a motorsport magazine, and I'd attend full race weekends at Talladega, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Monster Trucks, Dirt Tracks and you name it, and no one ever looked twice at me. If you want to hide it, you can.
One thing that Lotus once told me really rings true, that starting this process later in life, is that Testosterone has had decades to lock in its effects on our bone structure. This is one reason that younger people have such a higher rate of success with full feminized transition.
I will say that if you continue to progress with E2 Tablets -> Gel -> Injections, then injections are very powerful and it does speed up that process. I started with Tablets for two years and then switched to transdermal gel after that.
Sure, you'll get a softening of your face and friends will marvel that you're getting younger. They'll ask you if you're losing weight etc, but no one will know unless you let them know.
Remember, if you have any specific questions regarding specific topics, do a keyword search in the Project-X thread. At the bottom of each page in each thread on this site, you can search for keyword terms. Chances are, the answers to all your questions are located in the Project-X thread.
Best of Luck to You.
