Your Breasts: how do you feel about them?
 

After searching, I could not find a thread pertaining to this topic.

I could list a hundred body image articles on how we feel about our breasts, but what I am interested in is Your voice.

I am interested to know how You feel about your breasts...

do you love them? Do you hate them? Would you change them to be bigger or smaller? Do you like to show them off? How often do you take your breasts into account when picking outfits?

share your thoughts and feelings.

personally, although I wish I had larger breasts, I love that they are perky and that I can often wear shirts and dresses which my larger breasted friends do not feel comfortable in. I've never had the issue of people staring at my breasts because they are smaller. I like the color of my nipples. I think that breasts are all very unique.
I love my girlfriends' breasts, who are quite large, but I find she often feels insecure about their size, do other large breasted women feel that way?

anyway, I am curious and this is a truly feminine topic, perfect for our ladies longue... please share your thoughts on your breasts :)

I mostly love my breasts, and have only disliked them occasionally when I am trying on clothes (especially dresses) that fit perfectly everywhere else, EXCEPT my breasts. So then I have to go up to the next size, or even two (this puts me in XL sometimes, just for the damn breasts to fit), and that annoys me because the rest of the outfit ends up looking baggy or not fitting very well. I wish there were clothing manufacturers who specialized in small-waist/bottom, larger-breast styles, because that is what I need. So yes, I have to take my breasts into account when picking almost every outfit... not because I want to show them off (though my husband always appreciates when I do), but because I have to make sure they are going to fit decently and the buttons aren't going to pop off... which has happened before.

The other difficult thing is when I am going to the gym, or going for a run. I have had large breasts ever since I started cross-country/track in high school, and while it has never stopped me from exercising, I am a little bit sad that the skin holding them up has lost so much strength... in other words, they droop more than I thought they would, in my 20s. My mom always told me that it was my fault for running so much, which made me angry with her. My solution these days is to get a small, tight sports bra and basically smash the breasts down as flat as I can, so that they stop moving as much as possible when I'm running. I find that when I buy the bigger sizes, it just gives them more room to bounce, which hurts like a mofo. So I just smush them down as flat as I can.

I would not change them to be bigger or smaller, because I tend to think cosmetic surgery is lame. However, if they ever got so big (after kids) that they became painful for my back, etc... then I might consider it. I was slightly alarmed when I started hormonal birth control 4 years ago and they got even bigger than they had been... that was painful, and I could do without that extra boost, frankly. Big boobs run on my Icelandic side of the family, so I guess I'll just have to deal with them as I go.

I like them best when I am wearing a bikini and they fill out the top very nicely, or a low-cut top that shows just a bit of cleavage. I usually only wear those kind of things when I'm going to be around my husband, because I hate it when creepy people ogle them in public, so I try to avoid that if I'm just going out to run errands, etc. I love it when my husband squeezes them affectionately when I'm wearing those clothes, which often leads to more fun things... ;)

before my reduction.....absolutely hated them....I could never find anything that fit right

since my reduction....Im having a major love affair with my boobs....(having no migraines and back aches and indentions in my shoulders from my bra helps too lol) but its been a year and a half since my surgery and there is still not a day that goes by that I dont look at them and fall in love with them all over again.

I can run now....I have NEVER (since I got boobs) been able to run....I was a double D by the time I was 14....I can exercise.....I can wrap a normal towel around me now, I dont have to move them out of the way to shave my legs. I dont have to sleep in bra during my period because they hurt so badly (in fact since the surgery, PMS boobs have disappeared). I can wear a tank top without a bra and not have to worry about bra straps showing. I dont have to pick up my boobs to see my nipples.

I no longer feel that my boobs enter the room 30 seconds before I do. My boobs dont sit on the table or desk now. My seat belt actually feels like its supposed to. I can buy womens cut tshirts.

I could go on and on and on about the new life I have with smaller boobs but I wont bore you lol

just suffice it to say Im really mad at myself it took me SO long to get up the guts to have this done, and I have to thank the breast cancer scare I had, if I hadnt had to have a lumpectomy I'd have never gone to breast doctor on my own.

oh...one more great thing? Because it was medically necessary my 30k surgery cost me 100 bucks out of pocket :) cant get THAT with implants hehehehe

you want to seen before/after pics? (warning wont be safe for work of course)



I had 4 pounds of boobs removed.....and there is NO way in hell I regret not being large breasted anymore.....(I went from a F to a full C cup)

It took me a long time to come to like my breasts.

As most of ya'll know, I've had three kids. Breastfed them all. And it really took a toll on my breasts. I had stretchmarks for years, but they have mostly faded away. I was always self-conscious about their sagging, but (and Phillip has been very instrumental in turning my head around) I've grown to appreciate them. I'll even go out braless with a tank-top on now! And they do look pretty sexy. :p So it took accepting the fact that my tits will never be the perky, sticking-straight-out breasts they used to be. Now they are different and that's okay.

Oh, and I have large nipples that stay erect almost all the time and I like them, too. :)

I love'em. I've always had 'wide' boobs(34D); breastfeeding didn't change them at all. I see my elderly mom and mother-in-law and feel so depressed that they're gonna end up like that.
I love teasing my sister-she paid for her D's. :D

Yeah, mine are like pencil erasers... and my husband loves 'em that way. I mostly do, but they're EXTREMELY sensitive to temperature, so if they're not well insulated--they're very visible, even through 2 shirts and a fleece jacket. I have to wear thick bras... anything sheer can actually be painful (walking through the freezer section of the grocery store hurts).

I'm learning to like my boobs more. I get self conscious about them sometimes (I'm an A cup and sometimes would like to get up to a B), but overall I appreciate them. They don't get in the way of my riding, I can do virtually any physical activity without getting pain from them bouncing, and I don't get stared at very much. I like my nipples a lot; their color and shape is pretty intriguing. The man creature has pointed out that they have slight puckering at their tips. It's exciting for me to have him examine my breasts in such detail and pay so much attention to them, but it gets a bit distracting when I'm trying to listen to him or pay attention to something serious. ;)

I have started going totally braless, though. I haven't worn a bra since March 14th, when I got my tattoo. I'm not sure if I even want to go back! I just wear a tank top underneath my t-shirts, and that takes care of my fear of showing my nipples off constantly. I'm sure I'll go back to a bra for dressing up or maybe for working out (I have to buy kids' sports bras, they don't make women's sizes small enough for me to be comfortable), but I'm fine without one. Honestly, going without a bra has made me more comfortable with their size, appreciate their shape, and almost makes me feel like they're a bit bigger (I'm sure they're not). Even A cup bras tend to have a bit of a gap between the cup and my breast, so going braless eliminates that self conscious "ahh, I don't even fill up an A!" nagging thought.

(grabs boobs) I LIKE THEM!

I love my breasts. They were a bit of a pain in 7th and 8th grade--girls can be so cruel, as I'm sure you all know--but now they are a part of me I could never get rid of. They're the perfect size--though I need to have my band size remeasured, as I'm pretty sure it's shrunk. They're a touch saggier than they used to be, thanks to the weight loss, but I think I'm the only one who notices.

To remind all you ladies: to take good care of your girls, wear a bra that FITS (meaning if you haven't been measured by a professional lately, you should) and do your monthly breast exam.

Up until my mid-twenties I always hated how small I was (about a B cup) and of course one is bigger than the other. But about age 25 (and I too breastfed two children) I realized that although they are small they don't really sag, since they don't have far to go, and I have great nipples. Now I love them, I love their size, I love their shape, I love the color of my nipples. I just plain love em!

I don't care that they show. I refuse to wear those foam-y padded bras that seem to be so prevalent these days. I just want to know when nipples became so offensive that you have to cover them with 1/2" of foam? It didn't used to be that way.

This is the only bra I wear, Calvin Klein Nudes...I have it in black, pink, nude & white.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b2...inkleinbra.jpg

Vive la nipples! :lol:

It's not so much about being offensive... it's the fact that mine frickin' HURT when they are exposed to any kind of cold temperature for longer than maybe 3-5 minutes (and I mean, anything below, say... 60 degrees). When we go shopping in a cold grocery store and I'm not wearing enough layers, I have to walk around with my arms crossed in front of me just to keep the damn things from contracting very painfully... feels like someone is pushing thumbtacks into the top of my nipples, basically.

So yeah, I can't stand wearing padded bras either (the 1/2" of foam you are talking about), but I generally like the cloth on my bras to be substantial, just for insulation's sake. For the last several years I have been wearing Maidenform's One Fabulous Fit bra (the cheaper ones at Costco are fantastic), no lace or trimmings, and enough thick cloth to keep my nipples fairly warm. Doesn't anyone else have the painful-nipples problem?!

Oh, I didn't mean that you thought they were offensive, it's just that it's so hard to find bras without them these days. And I've heard comments from women that imply that allowing their nipples to be visible through their clothing is improper. I take exception to that and resent that I have to really search through the bra rack at Ross for a bra that isn't padded. Seems like it happened over night.

I love my ta-tas. I was always on the larger side of the scale, trending toward D and even DD while nursing. Now I've settled into a small D/large C. I haven't noticed a lot of droopage, despite having two kids and breastfeeding them into toddlerhood. I think the old girls have held up pretty well. As a bonus, the nursing gave me these perfect t-shirt nipples.

Yeah, there are probably more aesthetically perfect specimens out there, but l love mine best.

Right now? I like them.

They're just the right size! 32D is perfect because I have just enough to show off when I want, and yet when you really don't want them to get in the way, a sports bra does wonders.

Before Tt? I hated them.
I felt like they were always getting in the way when I wanted to work. Moving boxes, working a spotlight... I was insecure about my nipples. I cursed at my too-little-too-big size that I could never find a bra for (until I stepped into Macy's and tried on their CK and DKNY 32D's, which fit like a dream! Would have never purchased clothes at Macy's until Tt showed me I had enough money and I deserved quailyt clothing for every part of my body).

Yes, I love them. And I admit my love for them has everything to do with someone else's enthusiasm.

I have always liked mine and thought they were the perfect size. I never wanted to be bigger like a lot of smaller girls wish. I can't see the appeal personally.

They are a little different after having a baby and being so stretched during pregnancy.

Wow, excellent discussion ladies. Thank you each of you for sharing.

As a comment on nipples staying erect all the time, I don't have that, but my girlfriend does, which i find very sexy, but she often comments that ppl state quick a bit, so she tends to lean toward thicker bras to counteract them.

Nikki, as a smaller breast sized girl, I liked your comment that you feel yours are the perfect size. I think I only want mine to be larger when I am exposed to allot of media with larger breasted girls as being 'the perfect' breasts.... I wish sometimes that more movies, shows and other media would cast smaller breasted girls. I tend to enjoy Kira Knightely because she's smaller like mine and is still seen as 'just right.' But I am much less insecure about them now that I am in my mid-20's than I used to be when I was a teen. :)

thanks everyone again for sharing, let's keep this discussion going, because I think it's an important one to have. :)

Growing up I was always a bit self conscious about my breast size. I started developing early and was teased in school and even by certain members of my family about them.

By the time I was about fifteen I had gone from a C to a D... and eventually a DD.. the fact that I was an overweight teen also didn't help cause it only made them look a little bigger than they actually were. I'd always wear baggy clothes to try and hide my chest.. and at one time I even gave some serious thought about having a breast reduction.

But that never happened. I did however finally learn to accept myself.. exactly the way I am... breast and all. lol

She is "just right", in my book, and a common star in my fantasies. :surprised:

I was teased relentlessly in middle school because I was flat-chested. As an adult my breasts are good and afford me much pleasure in the sack. The trouble that I have with them is that I wear a 34 B-C so I have to shop a bit to find a the right fit, and I hate shopping. It just depnds on the bra. I have never been fitted for the right size. Is this something that most women do?

Most women don't, and as a result, walk around wearing the wrong size bra. Personally, I find bras that fit correctly to be much more comfortable than those that don't.

I was a late bloomer...I didn't get my boobs until I was 16 or 17 (2-3 years ago!) I was a major swimmer though so because I was rather flat chested it gave me an edge in the water. Of course kids were cruel...I went through many water-bras..the ones that move and stuff. Of course I only did that for a few months because I realized that when I took the thing off and put my bathing suit on people would know the real deal.
By my senior year I was around a larger B and smaller C. Recently since I had started BC almost two years my boobs grew to be a full C (which I really like) and now the irony is that even though I love the effect the BC has on my chest I hate that it has killed my sex drive.
When I go on my week break from the nuvaring my boobs lose a little oomph but not enough for anyone to notice but me according to James.

As for my nipples...well...I don't particularly mind my nipples. They are not the perky kind but they are pretty small and a nice shade of very pale pink. Overall I'm 19..(gonna be 20 in a few days) and my boobs aren't sagging and seem to be holding their own quite nicely. So I'm satisfied. James is satisfied. All parties concerned with them are happy and that is what matters. :)

Great topic Sweetpea!

I really hadn’t thought of it before. Do I like or dislike? I’d have to say I’m sort of neutral.

Looking back, I should have admired them more when they were supple and perky. But, as many of you, having two kids really took its toll on them. Before pregnancy I was a 34B and after, barely a 34A. As I’m nearing 40, I’ve put on an extra 10lbs and I’m right back up to a 34B, which suits me just fine. They’re large enough to be feminine, but small enough to not get in my way.

Another question: How many of you make sure they’re very straight in your bra, so that you’re nipples don’t look “cross eyed or askew” on the outside!?

*raises hand* I do!

...and here all these years I thought I was the only person on earth who actually thought of doing stuff like that. lol

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. :lol:
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.

I like my breasts very much. They are a nice pert shape with small light pink nipples.

34B, just enough to fill a hand as they say.

I used to wish they were a bit bigger, maybe a C, so they would have some extra oomph. But they are quite pretty I'd say and are still very firm and I am going on 28 now.

Even though they are small, I have always worn a bra, with underwiring too, and I'm pretty sure it's helped keep them as firm as they still are today - that and the fact they are small :)

My nipples get sore if I don't wear a bra most of the time (depends on what I am wearing though), so I kind of know what you mean. Though, most of the time I wear pretty padded bras as I am slightly small chested. I'm not really self conscious about it, I just feel that my shirts fit better when I wear a padded bra vs a non padded one.

Overall, I really love my breasts (I'm a 32b most of the time, but some bras are on the large sidel). They're very perky and since they're small I think they'll stay that way for a while. I love my nipples too and plan on getting them pierced pretty soon. Since my nipples are often soft I'm looking forward to having them stick out all the time. :)

I have come to appreciate my boobs. I used to use them a lot, show them off A LOT, too much. I was growing up and I found that they did wonders to grab attention. By the time I was 11 I had larger breasts than most women ever get.

I've always been self conscious about my areola size. My nipple itself is pretty standard, but I got the point that I was so embarrassed about them that I refused to show my boobs. I kind of did a 180 on my self-esteem.

Now, that my boobs are pretty much fully grown, they fit a lot better. I have very large breasts, and sometimes I wish I could have them just a bit smaller. I'm around a 38 FF-G and I'd go down to an E in a heartbeat. What I'm worried about is gravity. I know I'll have to get a breast lift by the time I'm 30 in order to keep my boobs anywhere near perky. But I really do like the color of them, my areola is a nice light peach color.

Dressing is hard, my boobs take up half of my torso. And I can never find a bra or anything that fits over them. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side; I sometimes envy women who can wear super low-cut blouses without looking scandalous. I remember back in middle school I was wearing a low-cut shirt and got called the principals office, but another girl wore the same shirt a few months later and no one said a thing. I thought it was really unfair.

Anyways, my boyfriend fucking loves my boobs. He has a boob fetish almost. So, that helps. And I really love my curves, and the hourglass shape I have. So, overall, I love them. They're really fun but they have their set of issues as well.

I used to hate them...I thought they were too small. I thought that guys were only interested in breast size, and I'd never find someone to love me for me.

I've finally found someone who tells me i'm beautiful no matter the size of my breasts, so I've come to accept them.

I find it annoying how women feel the need to have massive breasts...as that isn't always what attracts men.

Woot for small breasted women!! ;) :thumbsup:

thanks again to all the ladies who are continuing to share... keep the excellent posts coming! :)

Sweetpea

I was thinking about it...and James is always bugging me to go bra-less. The thing is, I hate not wearing a bra in public just absolutely hate it. I like having my boobs supported, they'll preserve their elasticity if they're supported right? I have been fitted for a bra before so I no what I need when it comes to buying one. Why do guys like this so much? I just don't.

I like the way a woman looks braless...but then I spent my formative ye-ahs in the 1970's when this was pretty common. I still remember seeing my mom back then go around braless when she wasn't working. Perhaps, subconsciously, that's why I like it now. :)

And I don't think it makes much difference, sag-wise, to go without a bra occasionally.

I'm 20 and one of my only two body hang-ups are my breasts (the other - stretch marks) They're 32FF (UK size) and the shape of them outta a bra has me most definetly self-conscious so i prefer to wear a bra when doing the "do" or jus in certain positions, like on top...but if im flying high or drunk - funnily enuf i have no worries

I've definetly thought about getting a breast reduction/breast lift for the future, but its not the size of them i have a major issue with, its the shape. They don't give me any health concerns - no back pain, digging straps and complement my hourglass figure and height. And when they're in the bra- i have mad love 4 them, then they're ma fav accessories!

But out...nah not so much, it's their shape that bugs me.

I cannot leave the house without a bra on... the idea makes me cringe, mostly because of the lack of coverage on the nipples, and also the fact that my breasts would be halfway to my waist and aching by the end of the day. I'll spend the morning bra-less around ktspktsp, but usually my pajamas still have a little "shelf" (camisole top) to give my boobs a little support. It's just so uncomfortable for me to be vertical without some kind of support on those babies.

It can, depending on the size of the breast in question. The breasts are supported by ligaments (the Cooper's ligaments), which do not bounce back over time--once ligaments are stretched, they remain so, and the damage cannot be undone without surgical intervention.

I am the opposite.

I never ever wore a bra until I was pregnant (so 32 years without) and I only wore one then b/c they got so much bigger. I was always very perky despite being braless for so long.

Now they are still bigger then they were before baby so I wear one all the time. For some reason going braless is no longer comfortable.

Well, yes, with large breasts. But for A-B-small C, I think they can get away with going braless occasionally without repercussions. The shape your of breasts is a factor, as well, though...right? Like, some women have breasts that stand up off their chests and some sag (overlap the ribs) naturally...this is how mine are...and I suppose that going braless would have more of an effect on these types of breasts.

Typing 'breasts' so many time reminds me of last week when I was with my mom and she referred to her breasts as 'bosoms.' I got so tickled by that. :lol:

Going braless means more movement, more nipple action, and more realism for many women. I think that's why men and women alike appreciate a braless woman. Personally, some bras just look unnatural so I'd rather they didn't wear one.

When I lived in Phoenix last summer I went braless a lot when I wasn't at work just because it was so damn hot. It really depends on what I'm wearing though, if I'm not wearing something that's somewhat tight the movement of the fabric will make my nipples sore pretty quickly. You ladies who live where it gets really hot in the summer should definitely give going braless a try if you have not, it's soo nice.

I live in Wisconsin, and my bra STILL adds to the heat. I hate it. I always said that if I didn't have to wear a bra, I wouldn't get hot. I have to wear one that's large with a lot of support so it really doesn't help! :mad:

Eh, once again, not for me... without a bra, in hot weather, I would get immense amounts of sweat and friction under my boobs... because yes, they hang that low. There is a significant amount of overlap, as MM was saying in her last post. Boobs standing up off my chest, on their own? Not since I started puberty. :( Sometimes I miss those days.

Yeah, I guess I am happy that I have small perky breasts. I could imagine it being uncomfortable to go braless if they were bigger.

Someone should design an actual self cooling bra. That would be awesome. :)

Even though my breasts aren't that big, I'm 34B, I know the feeling you ladies are talking about. Sometimes my bra becomes unbearably hot and irritating. I love that feeling of blessed relief when I finally get home and can take it off.

Well, I see your point but maybe it's just the way I was brought up but my mother NEVER went braless around me, she's also a DD. She has countless bras in every color imaginable.
I'm just uncomfortable about it.
My boobs hold them selves up fine, ie no bra and they don't sag at all. I hope that maybe with bra usage I make be able to help them preserve their elasticity longer. I wear a sportsbra at night.

When you've lived somewhere like that all your life, it doesn't really matter.

I always wear one because I want my breasts to stay pert for a looong time.

Funnily enough, though I love my bras, I often go out at night with no bra - usually because the skimpy tops I wear don't look nice with bra straps showing. Since I'm small, I don't think anyone notices if I'm wearing one or not. Unless my nipples start saying hello. I actually don't care - I kind of like feeling a bit cheeky.

My boobs feel pretty much the same with or without bra, except if I'm doing sport.

I know what you mean, I was raised never to let your nipples show and even today my mom gives me a hard time about certain shirts. You could do worse than offending a few people anyways.

This is starting to remind me of the episode of Sex and the City when the girls discover those fake nipples, lol.

I guess it is just a matter of where your personal comfort level is, but since the only thing that would hide my nipples is padding, I choose to reject that. Plus, I do not like the look of lace or seams under clothing so my only other option is a lightweight, seamless bra. Bras are uncomfortable enough as it is.

The way I see it, having discernible nipples is no different than wearing jeans or skirts that conform to the shape of your ass.

I think going braless when it is hot adds to the discomfort.

You RUN with full C-cups? Damn, you be brave, girl. I'm too self conscious about bouncing.

After having 3 kids, they kind of remind me of a couple of used cars. But I never thought much about them before then.

yes, my surgeon did a fantastic job and I dont feel them at all when I run.....I remember the first time I did it....I cried with joy for hours

I took a look, and I have to say that even so, they are still quite voluptuous. I cannot imagine how much your back ached lugging them around, no offense intended there does not seem to be a PC way to word that.

As far as myself, I am fine with the size of my breasts though I can relate to the nipple concerns. I feel that they are always protruding no matter what it is that I wear. You finally find the perfect bra that fits comfortably only to find out that they stopped manufacturing them when you return to make your next purchases.

lol No I understand what you meant. Actually I couldnt shop. I could walk in the grocery store, or walmart or home depot (basically anywhere that had concrete based floors) and with in 5 minutes my back would hurt so badly I'd have to take a pain pill when when I got home....I couldnt stand at the kitchen sink for long....(fortunately I have a husband that doesnt mind my inherit dislike for shopping and would do it for us)

Now, I can go anywhere and not suffer the back pain, its like I got, not just new boobs, but a new back as well lol

(oh and thanks for being the one person to actually say they looked at the pictures lol)

I am very proud of them now.....very

They called me "flatsey" in middle school. I went from an A to B cup between 8th grade and high school and stopped wearing a bra when I was 18.

Got pregnant and nursed when I was 25. After baby I was a C. Fast forward another nine years and two nursing infants, I was a D. I'd gained weight after the second baby (C-section got me lazy and depressed) and became a DD.

Anyway, I vary between a C and D, depending on the bra. My girls are in pretty good shape considering all that trauma :p They're definitely not as pert as they were when they were only 20, but they still function just as well as they always did. I figure if my nipples aren't pointing down and they're not anywhere near my tummy, I'm doing okay.
( .) (. )

As for the Victoria Secret bras, I wear them when I go out and need some sexy cleavage. I couldn't be comfortable wearing them all the time. Besides, I've been told that men like to see what they're getting.

I love my darling girls. :) Mine were a little late in showing up. My younger sister's breasts were larger than mine for years. She used to call me "tangerines" or "mosquito bites" and it was pretty hurtful. But here they are, 36D and nicely shaped. And my peeps love them, too.

THANK YOU to everyone who has shared thus far and continues to keep this dialogue going... I think this is important to talk about.

I go braless all the time. :) That is the one small perk to being small breasted. I have A cups, hence, I am part of the itty bitty titty club (a term I used to hate, but have now embraced)
Part of not wearing a bra is because of my fibro, bras often push on my rib cage, causing it to swell and be more painful than normal, hence I wear a camisole and call it good, sometimes my nipples show and so i'll wear a tank top underneath my shirt, but usually, not much shows.

As far as my worrying about sagging... with breasts my size, sagging is not really going to happen :lol: so I don't worry about it.
I wanted to comment that I think satisfaction with breast size has allot to do with proportion to your body frame.
I am a fairly petite woman and have a small bone structure, about 127lbs and have a small frame, so I think I'm fairly proportional. I like to think of them as perfection in minature form on good days :lol:

something I would suggest to everyone is this:

I love love love this documentary I saw yesterday: called simply "Breasts: A documentary" (Netflix has it. Actually it currently has it in the 'watch instantly category under 'doc.')
Overview:
"Armed with an all-female camera crew, filmmaker Meema Spadola talked to 22 women (many of whom agreed to appear topless) about the role breasts have played in their varied life experiences. Providing a nakedness in their responses that's difficult to deny, the film's subjects include a voluptuous transsexual, a stripper with implants, an 11-year-old on the cusp of puberty, a 420-pound comedienne and an 84-year-old grandmother."


check it out!

viva la breasts! :) keep the discussion coming ladies :)

I've seen this flick...and yes, I got it from Netflix...there is also a companion doc from the same director about men and their cocks...if anyone's interested. :p

I recommend them both for a healthy dose of sexual reality. :)

Sports bras are designed to absorb and cool.

My little ones (14 and almost 16 now) make me laugh when I think about sports bras. The older one loves hers, the baby wishes she didn't have them. The funny thing is that they wear their bras to sleep. I think it originated because they're at their dad's every other weekend --- stepmother with teen stepbrother and sister --- and weren't comfortable enough with their bodies when this began a couple of years ago.

Although I told them if they were shy, a sports bra would be a lot more comfortable for sleeping. They still sleep in the same damned bras. :lol: At least I know their breasts will stay gorgeous. :D

Thanks again for this post, SP. I do love my just less-than-perfect breasts.

ohhh, now that will be interesting. Thanks MM.

/me puts it in my Q.


I love that, 'just less-than-perfect' :thumbsup: Via la breasts! :)

Like some of the women who have posted, my breasts are too large to be comfortable. But when I was young, sexually they were a lot of fun (for me and him). They are just part of my body and I accept them.

I had to think about this as a wider issue a few years ago when a mate died rather than have a mastectomy. It made me realise that I am not so tied to my breasts as part of my female nature that I would die for them.

Speaking of boobies, it took me a long time to be comfortable with my breasts. I'm Asian and live in Vancouver, so it is really really awkward to see many plumper and fuller bodies of my ethnicities in my city. In fact it was down right horrible to feel ugly and fat amongst a crowd of toothpicks that call anything above a size 5 "obese". I used to wear sports bras to flatten them, when all the other girls stuffed their bras.

I'm a 36 F. I was a 38D cup, but when I went on birth control i grew to a 38D (I was so sure my boobs didn't grew but the sizes at La Senza just shrunk) but the band size was always too big. Then I went to CHANGE and they fitted me into a 36 F bra and my boobs have never been better looking.

I love my breasts now and I love the way my boyfriend looks at them and how he will sometimes (meaning: all the time) forget to make eye contact or when I catch him sneaking a glimpse. Sure, I find flaws here and there (my nipples are too small, I have small areolas, they are slightly lop sided and they don't push together naturally), but overall, i'm very happy about them. They make finding clothes a nuisance at times, but they have been relatively perky for their age.

Yeah, so when I go shopping at the asian malls with my aunts and they go "oh, that won't fit you because you are too fat" (they are mean)
I say, "yeah, I guess my luscious 36F boobs just won't fit in the chest"

What a great account, creepysusie!

What a poignant comment.... well stated.

thanks everyone for great posts!

Sweetpea

good for you! :)

my gf is Thai and I am often shocked by some of the comments her family makes about her large chested cousin, i find their standards for extreme thiness and non acceptance of larger breasts a bit shocking.

the asian idealism of beauty is more like malnutrition than anything else. I think I heard of some study saying that breast sizes in China is actually growing because of better nutrition.
Many of them are so caught up in being thin, that "slim centers" are one of the largest growing industries in china. And these places focus on restricting most food groups and malnutrition to achieve slimness for already slim girls.

It is sickening.

I love my curves

Oh dear, that is depressing, creepysusie. Malnutrition? So that's how they do it. I was wondering if there was some sort of trick. Plenty of perfectly slender asian women here at Berkeley. Thanks for letting me in on the secret. I think I'll stop coveting those frighteningly petite frames.

Much of it is malnutrition.
If you look at the typical chinese menu of families in China many years ago, the diet consisted of boiled vegetables (that are later stir fryed), white rice and very little meat.
There are barely any vitamins left in boiled vegetables. White Rice is all carbs without the whole grains for fiber. Tofu, arguably, is only a partial protein. It doesn't form a full protein unless paired with something else (which i don't remember, but Bill Nye taught me this a long time ago).
I mean, i'm not saying that all thin asians are like this, but eating disorders are definately not foreign to any culture in the world, but it is definately more prominent and less spoken of in other countries

yay, for healthful fats. :)

There's definately a limit to all things in life. Just as it is unhealthy to be 5'11 and only 90 pounds, being 4'3 and 600 pounds is not a healthy option either.
In my opinion, you have to love your own body to change it for the better. You can't lose weight because someone said something or this person said that. You have to do it for self-motivation. You love yourself, that is why you are exercizing. That's the best mentality to go with, in my opinion.
That's what's so great about this thread! It's women coming together being happy about themselves. We already get this negative influence from advertising and media telling us how imperfect we are, but i think it is the imperfections that make us human, real and lovable.
If we change ourselves because someone else says we are fat, then even when we become thinner, we still won't be happy.

I love myself for having curves. I have parts that i love less than others, but hell, even the most perfect humans will be like that.

Oh, I believe it. My Thai family has often called me a "giant" when I'm visiting... having a curvy figure doesn't mean anything to them. Thank goodness for my Icelandic genes and what they added to my boobs (and the rest of my body, which I like).

quoted for just plain being what women need to hear every Single Day.... :)


Every set of breasts is different, just as no two women's bodies are the same... we need to realize... we don't need to measure up to anything or anyone but our unique selves :)

thanks,

sweetpea

I'm...satisfied with my breasts at the moment. My boyfriend LOVES them, and that helps to give me confidence boosts often. But it is my weight gain that makes me only feel satisfied with them. My weight gain has changed my bra size from a small B cup to a full C *sighs*
But I'm slowly changing my eating habits, and getting back into the sports I used to do. Who knows, once I drop the extra weight, I might love my boobies!. :P Hehe.
I was surprised to hear some ladies in here say Victoria's Secret bras are uncomfortable! They are pretty much the only bras I wear now! So comfortable, I love them!
The only time I hate bras is when the strap adjustment "falls down." I have really sloping shoulders, and my straps are always falling off. Once they fall, the whole bra has to be readjusted again. I hate my sloping shoulders, they can't hold up backpacks, purses, bags, anything! Damn things... :(
I wish I could like sports bras like you ladies as well. I cannot stand the feel of a racerback bra on me, it makes me feel..too secure I guess, and like I'm strapped in or something. I dunno, they feel awkward and uncomfortable to me. Maybe i need to keep looking for a better sports bra *shrugs*, I've been searching for the perfect one for 8 years now! -_- Oy vey... haha
Ah well, to each their own. I've always been uncomfortable with fabric too close to my neck or too secure by my collarbone like turtlenecks, racerback bras, those high-collared t-shirts. Most of my shirts are v-neck, or at least loose at the neck.

If you're still searching, sports bras don't necessarily bind you down or have racerbacks. A couple of examples:

I don't like Victoria Secret is because they never have my size. I often have to venture into the 38D section, but after less than a total of 5 wears, the band drags and it is so uncomfortable. When I try on bras, I put it at the tightest snap so there is no room for it to stretch and once it does, the bra is useless to me. The 36DD are sooo uncomfortable because the cup still isn't the size of the 38D. The cups are smaller and sometimes they don't point in the right direction. That's just me though. Victoria Secret fits some body types and some not so much. The strangest thing is that it is not all exclusive to thinner people. I know a girl who's just hugely boob-tastic and she fits in there just fine. I'm not as big as her, but they don't fit my shape.

C'est la vie, eh?

I love my breasts most of the time. If I had the money, I don't think I would get implants, but I might have them lifted. That's probably about it. I like them well enough to post them, so that's saying something.

I like my breast when they are in a bra. Otherwise its noticeable, to me anyway, that my right breast is larger than my left. I've jokingly said I'd get half a boob job and have them lifted slightly.
I can't go bra-less for one I'm a 38D and for second my nips just feel chaffed after awhile.
And finally I especially like my breasts since I have add some bling to them, tho I swear its like a lure to a fish with my fiance.

Also, Victoria Secret bras just don't seem to fit me right. But I do love me some Frederick's of Hollywood the extreme cleavage collection. :thumbsup:

I have to disagree that breasts that are very small don't sag. I have seen it and don't think it's as bad as with larger breasts, but no-one wants their breasts to sag really. Just thought I'd share that.

Also, I was wondering, after reading mixedmedia's post mentioning the documentary on guy's cocks, whether there has been a similar thread for the guys, here on TFP? I am a little curious. If anyone remembers would be interesting, if not we could open one.

I hear ya! I have a love/hate relationship with mine. I'd be happy if mine were a C instead of what they are now, which is enormous!

Some words of, uh, support from one of our male TFP'ers:

Ain't that nice? :hearts:

So I posted earlier that I am very fond of my breasts. Then I got my nipples pierced this week, and now I love them! :)

Though I do kind of wish they would fill out a a B cup better. They're on the small side but I don't worry about it except when I'm looking for bras, then it's annoying.

And I definitely agree on the proportions thing, my breasts are fitting for my body size so it works out okay.

I like my breasts very much, I'm 6 feet tall and my C cups fit my general stature nicely, they make my clothes fit better too. They aren't too saggy even though I'm nearly 60. Ain't nobody putting rings in the nipples though!:no: I guess I'm just too damn old to appreciate the piercing business.

I’m in the same boat, abaya. I rarely buy dresses. Even with alterations, most just won’t fit. No one designs for those of us that have large boobs and not much of a butt. Especially if we're also short. There just aren't very many of us. Most women tend to have the opposite problem. I go with separates (or a business suit,) so I can buy to accommodate my chest, (size 8-10) and choose smaller (size 4) pants or skirt. I’m sitting here writing this wearing a men's XL Red Sox sweatshirt, (been chilly all day) a 32DD bra, and a pair of BOYS size 14 Levis. It's been years since I bought an actual dress.

How I feel about my breasts has changed over the years. They've always been a big part of my life,:) (I try, like Dolly Parton, to keep a sense of humor) but now, at age 31, frankly, I’m ambivalent. :expressionless: I tend to vacillate between smugness (like I know what I've got) and a kind of embarrassment at my good fortune, and it kept me from weighing in on this thread earlier. I have exactly what a lot of men want. And I almost think I should apologize for that??:confused: I can stand naked in front of the mirror, and my figure looks --to me-- "unbalanced" because I have large breasts, and everything else is small. Small face, small mouth, narrow shoulders, narrow waist, small butt, small feet! Besides that, I'm short! :rolleyes: I’ve been accused of having implants:mad: and of being anorexic. Not true! I am lean, not “skinny.” I eat pretty much whatever I want – but most of the time I don’t want much. I just won the genetic lottery, that’s all! :thumbsup: What I have (great boobs) I have through absolutely no effort on my part. I'm grateful -- I think. They just sort of . . . appeared. And they still look pretty much like they did when I was seventeen. I certainly would NOT want them to be any bigger.

They’ve always been a magnet for attention, especially when they first “blossomed” :oogle: when I was about fifteen. Nothing to C-cup in about 3 months, and it didn’t stop there. I have to admit that I just loved the attention! Some of the other girls said I was a slut, and guess what? That just gave me more attention from the boys! I then proceeded to earn the reputation that I had. :shakehead: After a failed marriage and a divorce, I discovered in my mid twenties that I could make a lot of money shaking my titties! I won an “amateur nite” wet tee-shirt contest and by the next night --- I was no longer an amateur! They called me an exotic dancer. A fancy name for stripper. And the money was almost all CASH under the table (or under the G-string.) A girl with my body could always get on the schedule at the busiest times -- best for good tips.

But I didn't like that life. I loved the actual dancing, but the drinking, the drugs, the drama queens, the hanger-on pimps. :paranoid: The being constantly “hit on” :grumpy: that just goes with that territory. The aging girls who said that they would KILL :eek: to have my body. I think a couple of them really meant it! Sigh! I hated that. Talk about hostile work environment!
Personality wise, I’m really just basically a nerd. A pragmatic and sometimes opportunistic nerd. An intellectual, introverted INTP nerd with a pornstar’s body. I'm even somewhat religious, though not in any proselytizing kind of way. There must be some kind of injustice here. Maybe I should sue. Just kidding. But I've wondered :confused: more than once if this body wasn't wasted on someone with my temperament. I danced for nearly two years, then took the shoeboxes full of cash, and ran. Ran away to graduate school. So, my boobs (and a scholarship) paid for grad school at an expensive university. And that’s OK with me.
Anyway, having large breasts does affect the way I dress and the way I shop for clothes. At work (I manage an investment fund) I dress conservatively, wear little or no makeup, and strive more for elegant than stylish or fashionable. I’m so short (5’ 2”) that broad padded shoulders make me look silly, but a “draping” effect over my breasts doesn’t attract too much attention. Dark jacket. Boatneck tops. Dressy pants. Fairly short skirts. If I can draw eyes to my legs, my breasts will be less noticed. Maybe. But a breast man will take notice no matter what you do.:oogle: Trust me on this.
Casual dress for me is usually jeans (yes, sometimes I do wear boys size 12 or 14 jeans) or shorts.. With some kind of top. Tee-shirt, Western shirt, sweater, sweatshirt. Not too tight, but I do like the drape on the shelf effect. There’s that word “drape” again. It’s kind of a proud but not flaunting idea. Showing cleavage also helps keep me cooler and more comfortable in hot weather. I'll wear a tank top if I have to be outside and it's really hot. I hardly ever wear a dress except at work or church. Uh-oh. Sorry for going on way too long. :shakehead:
I started this on Saturday, and just couldn't finish. Better get it posted, warts and all. Looks like this thread is already starting to fade. Before I forget, I want to plug a great book.
If anyone is a reader, and interested in this subject, (breasts) I highly recommend Stacked: A 32DDD Reports from the Front by Susan Seligson. From Amazon, and the other usual places.

Thanks, TFP, for being here. I needed to get that off my chest. Groan.

Speaking of which, I got this bra in the mail today. I love it! I got a 38G but I think I might of needed a GG... oh boy.

http://scene.barenecessities.com.edg...or=221,221,221
http://www.barenecessities.com/Glamo...search,38G.htm

i feel mine are toooooo big :( i want smaller ones...and firmer :D...my mom says that if i lose a bit of weight they might go down, so i'm gonna try that first.

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.

Welcome back, Sage.
Geesh, triple D. That's gotta be difficult to shop for.

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 generally like my breasts and would consider them one of my features that I am most "proud of". They are firm and perky...although if they were like half a cup bigger, I would be thrilled!

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.

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....

just wanted to give kudos to the ladies for continuing this conversation... I mean, this thread is like sitting down with your girls with some cocktails (or coffee, whichever you like best) and shooting the breeze... I love it!

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 like them but sometimes wish they were bigger. My husband likes them how they are. I am the one who is upset about them. Especially with all the hype with bigger boobs. I am a 34 A

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. :p

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...

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...

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. >_<

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.

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