I like mine when they don't hurt. Which isn't very often lately.
I've had to switch birth controls several times and the only thing that made them hurt less was depo, but everything else got screwed up.
I like the way they look in clothes and when I lost a lot of weight, I definitely liked them more... but the stretch marks remain and they've dropped quite a bit, so I actually prefer them with a bra on these days.
The padding does help the tenderness and soreness, so I wear lined, but not push up bras. And nike sports bras at the gym.
I was a 36 C in the 6th grade and got up to a 38D at my heaviest and I'm back down to a 36C now. Actually a B 1/2 and a C.
Someone once asked me in a gas station if I'd had surgery that made them uneven.
That just makes me laugh, not self conscious.
