Place them gently in your bra??? Huh??
I clasp in the front, turn it around and lift it up and over.
I must be the exception-I breatfed, have always been a bit large and they're still pretty "bulbous", if only a tad lower( I can't suck my own tits anymore, but then again, my neck is a wreck these days
)
They certainly don't sag at all, though. I don't think my nipples ever pointed up, but they don't point down either, more like outward/sideward.
My doctor did recommend doing upper body exercising to keep them as they are, but I'm sporadic at best with that.
I think all those massage things are not so much what you're putting on them, it's the massaging itself. Breast stimulation fools them into thinking they might be put into service so they stay at the ready, meaning full and bouncy. I remember in my wilder sex days, after any sustained time of sexual activity, I'd even start to lactate.
