They might, but it's not likely if you're on hormonal birth control. When I lost weight, I lost 4 inches off of my band size and nothing from my cup size--I'm now a 34C. I think losing the weight actually made them look bigger. I'm not really complaining.

Firstly, good god I go away for six months and everything's still the same around here


Secondly, I just bought a 38DDD bra for the first time this weekend and I swear I don't remember them being that big....

My hubby likes them just the way they are, but I pine for the days when I was 16 and a 36C and they were just as perky as all get out... I wish they could be made perky again without having implants but I realize that at this size that's impossible.

I was buying a bra to replace the Vanity Fair model (size 38D thankyouverymuch) that I have had technical issues with and found Bali's line of "minimizers" which come in hugemungus sizes and were on sale for 40% off. I think Bali sizes those weird so women will be all "I have huge boobs i need a reduction i must buy a minimizer!!!"

I am beginning to wish mine were a teensy bit smaller... although I work with a very sweet, beautiful gal who is a 34G and is looking forward to her breast reduction next year.

I'm..uncertain about my breasts. I'm a 36C..round about, although I've been as high as a 36D when I gained all my weight in high school (I weighed about 150.)

I like having something to stuff into a push up bra when I want to look sexy for my man, but as far as walking around my college campus and going to class? I wish they were smaller. Sometimes, they're just more trouble than their worth, lol. I also having the problems with my sports bra, although I got a nice one at the Nike store recently that really hugs them, and they don't bounce. Hooray Nike. =)

Also, I don't know if it's their size, or just me, but they aren't sensitive at all. I'm all-natural, but I know a lot of women get extremely turned on just from having them played with/sucked on.

Is anyone else not sensitive like me? Is it size, or me, or both..or neither? Just curious.

I have a love/hate relationship with my breasts. A few years ago I tried for a reduction through my insurance, but they wouldn't go for it. They are heavy and huge 34G. It's hard to even find a bra that fits right much less anything else. I have back aches, neck aches, and that pms pain in them that goes into my shoulders as well. You drop things on them, they sit on the table or the desk (I'm short and the table is usually right at that level). And any average height person can see down my top.

On the other hand, my boyfriend absolutely LOVES them. He said he'd never cared for large breasts before but can't get enough of mine. When I told him I wanted to get a reduction, he said "No PLEASE". So now he has to give me back rubs when ever I want and he does. He is a good sport about it. We can do things that you couldn't do with smaller breasts which is a bonus. Plus they don't really sag much at all. You'd think they would be to my knees by now! I used to even sleep in a bra for fear of saggage. I guess it's worked. Don't so much since my boyfriend came along. (no clothing permitted in the bed, lol) And if I ever decided to wear one of those push-up corsettes(sp), I would have a built in pillow!

As for the clothing...it costs a bit more, but if you are willing to buy good clothes and want them to fit, it works. Yes, go up a size or two or three and have the rest of the top or dress tailored to fit the rest of you. For t-shirts, well i just stretch them out. I have to make sure there isn't much of a picture on it so it doesn't get distorted though.

So there is my love/hate. At the moment I hate them, because they are not being enjoyed. My boyfriend and I are long distance for a while. So no fun and no back rud either. :-( In due time, I will have it all back.

diddagirl

KRM- I am also not very sensitive...for the most part I could care less if my boobs are being touched....and I am between a B/C so not sure if its a size thing at all....

anyway... that is all... carry on being your awesome selves...

Great topic, sweetpea! For the past 10 years I have had a love affair with my breasts, they are one of my best features. I love having them touched, grabbed, jiggled, sucked on, all of it! They are very comforting to me and probably the most erogenous part of my body. I appreciate and admire their symmetry, their fullness, the color of my nipples (a light tan) and how firm yet soft they are. They are pure heaven!

I didn't always love them so much, because I, too, was a late bloomer. Was only an A cup in high school but I really filled out in my 20's and now they are full C/small D cups. I LOVE going bra-less around the house because my shirt rubbing against my nipples feels so nice but I can't get away with it at all in public. I feel self-consious if the girls get outta control LOL.

My favorite bras are the thin, cottony underwire bras - just barely there but enough to support me and allow my natural shape to show through.

I just remembered that I wanted to post here after I got back from our US trip. I went to Victoria's Secret to pick up a couple of bras for a cousin of mine (much cheaper there than in Europe), and I had never really shopped around there for anything before, because it was too expensive to me. I only ever bought lotion there (Love Spell, mm!).

Anyway, so my bras have been failing me lately, and ktspktsp recommended that I get measured. He tried to measure me once, using a guide online, but it didn't come out right. So I asked the VS woman to do it for me... the word came back that I was 34... DD. Yeah, DD. For as long as I can remember, I have been wearing 36C, so this was a shock. I suppose since I started hormonal birth control, my boobs jumped up in size, but it didn't register to me at the time to get my size checked and buy new bras. So my girls had been poorly supported for at least the last FOUR YEARS. Jeeeez!!!!

I decided then and there to buy myself a good-quality bra from VS, in my size, that would last me for a long time. It still feels weird to me, to know that I am a 34 DD, but I guess in the end it's just a size. I kind of wish I could get them back down to C through exercise, but that's going to take most of the summer, if it happens at all (big boobs run in my Icelandic genes, so I doubt they will get smaller). No wonder they've been so uncomfortable when I'm running...

It feels WONDERFUL to wear the right size bra now (the VS bra is awesome--best nipple coverage ever, which I need badly). When I've gone back to the 36 C, it's all wrong... can't believe how long I went without getting measured. Gotta take better care of my girls in the future!

Hooray for getting measured! I've been impressed with the durability of my VS bras--definitely worth the money.

Yeah, I really don't know why I didn't get measured before. It took all of 5 seconds, literally... and she did it on the spot, with my clothes on. I never used to think that bras were worth that much money, but the VS one has convinced me otherwise... especially since I'll have a hard time finding good DD's in normal stores, from now on.

I had never thought much about my breasts until the last 5-7 years. Previously a pretty average 32C, never drew much attention or caused any issues. Never caused pain or overly sensitive. I bought any bra I liked, never trying it on or worrying about fit. Seems shocking now.

As controversial as this is going to sound, I never could get into the breastfeeding thing for a few reasons, not the least of which my breasts are sexual to me. Breastfeeding was also extremely painful, though I did make it 30 days...

Now I am a 34D, getting older, wear more fitted clothing (as is the style). Breasts seem to draw more attention, in many ways look better, I can appreciate more now. I am very particular about daily bras (sexy, wear for short time bras can fit poorly and I can spill out ). I am careful about clothing choices, some shirts make me look like I am "all boobs", not attractive or the look I am going for. I would like my breasts reshaped, (and, like many, one is slightly larger than the other) but not enough to consider surgery unless I win the lottery or it's important to my man. I tend to think growing old somewhat gracefully is important.

Oh the things we ladies ponder...

Acetylene

For most of my life I basically hated being "gendered" - not that I didn't want to be a woman per se, but that I wished gender didn't matter or even exist. I would wear very androgynous clothes and play online games and refuse to tell people that I was a girl (but didn't say I was a guy either). I didn't like anyone to flirt with me or look at me anywhere but in the face.

Especially when trying to have fun it seemed like gender got totally in the way. It doesn't help that I like to hang out with men as friends, either - I like games, and exciting movies, and playing outside, and hate having to walk funny in fancy shoes or avoid touching my face because of makeup. I guess you would call me a tomboy. But when you are a teenager you can't hang around with boys or they get all funny and treat you differently.

My breasts felt like an annoyance - an inconvenient, superfluous body part that served no purpose but to get in the way and force me to wear uncomfortable underwear. My breasts aren't held up very firmly and they move around too much to go without a bra most of them time. They'r also a bit of a non-standard shape; they naturally hang pretty low, but the nipples point straight up, so NOTHING fits right and half the time my nipples will spill out of my bra when I lean over unless I wear a full-coverage bra, which I find uncomfortable. I also have "puffies" which I used to think meant something was wrong with them.

As I got older and had a great boyfriend/fiance/husband I didn't care so much about being looked at and started enjoying the comfort of tank-tops and more stretchy, form-fitting clothes. I also don't feel like I have so much to prove anymore. I will cook and clean and knit and enjoy it. Going along with that I haven't worried about my boobs much in a while. When I wear a bra and sufficiently stretchy clothing, they look pretty normal and proportionate and shapely. Also I saw online that puffy nipples don't mean I am some sort of freak :P

I would never consider having them surgically altered because (can you tell?) comfort is far more important to me than beauty, and I wouldn't want to experience the discomfort of surgery when my breasts are pretty much fine the way they are as long as I wear a bra most of the time.

It still drives me nuts that when I go to a meeting with my (male) boss, the person we meet with gives his business card to my boss but not to me, and that male business associates will shake hands with my boss but assume I am inconsequential when in reality I manage the entire website and retail arena of our business. It also drives me nuts when I am setting up a canopy to cover a booth at a market or show (a job which is supposed to require two people, but which I can do by myself due to practise), any passing man will assume that I cannot do it myself and try to help, often trying to physically take the canopy away from me. Once someone actually broke a leg off the thing trying to "help" me and I had to buy a new one.

But I no longer think this is my fault for being female or that I should be wearing different clothes to prevent this. In fact it can be very useful to be pretty because men will hold the door open for me when I'm carrying something heavy. Also I can get away with wearing skimpy clothes when it's hot when the men are all wearing their huge baggy sweaty outfits. And if someone looks at me, I don't notice - men look at women all the time and it doesn't make a difference if it happens to be me.

Mine are smallish, but I wish they were smaller. I really hate em sometimes. I get real self conscious and think they're too big...

ametc

Mine are uneven. My right breast is probably about an ounce or two bigger than the left one. I don't mind them.. I just wish they were more even.

My breasts are D cups and they tend to sag a little. Other girls with large breasts have told me that they have the same sagging problem.. so I'm guessing that as breasts get bigger.. they tend to sag a little lower. Along with the sagging comes the sweating... so I always needs as much pushup and support as possible in my bra to prevent as much sweating as I can.


With my large breasts.. I find demi cups hard to wear. Full coverage uplifts are the best for me. It needs lots of padding to prevent showing off my nipples.


I've gone braless a few times... I prefer going with a bra, though because I'm afraid they might be saggier than I thought or something. >_<

~Melee~

I'm not a huge fan of my breasts because I feel like they make me rather disproportionate and make my torso look short. I'm a 36DD but I am a very tiny person overall (during blood drives people are always asking me if I even weigh enough to give blood and not a day goes by without one of my friends making a short joke about me), and I have a lot of trouble finding shirts that fit right. Swimsuit shopping is pretty much a nightmare.

lostgirl

I love my breasts, they are very nice little C cups.

I've become used to my body.. at least right now I am.

My breasts are nice and plump and oh-so-soft. Like a baby's skin kinda soft. My nipples darken and lighten depending on whatever the hell hormones in my body.. and right now they're nice and dark. Not black.. haha.. but a nice pink-brown color.

I'm saving up to buy them a nice, new pushup bra from Vic's Secret. Several, maybe. haha

Ami

I like them, but ever since I started ROTC they've gotten smaller. I dropped an entire cup size in two months and now none of my bras fit me.
I need new bras but don't have any more for them...

Shell

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's and
shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said,
'I'd like to buy a bra for my wife.'
'What type of bra?' asked the clerk.
'Type?' inquires the man, 'There's more than one type?'

'Actually, there are four types of bras to choose:
Catholic type supports the masses.
Salvation Army type lifts the fallen,
Presbyterian type keeps them staunch and upright, and
Baptist makes mountains out of mole hills.'

...oh, and the German bra....the Holtzemfromfloppen
