I was just having a sort of argumentative conversation with someone and they said "Were you born a boy", I think it was a joking way of saying have you got any secrets. but for some reason it just hit all my insecurities and I had a total breakdown on the bathroom floor type moment. I can't believe over such a silly little comment, which probably had nothing to do with the way I look anyway. I feel awful.

I'd rather boob job discussions were in here- it's the only thread I check regularly, and I can imagine the surgery thread ending up getting derailed into small booby discussions.

There has been NO link between implants and the immune disease etc women have attributed to implants - the FDA did HUGE studies on this, and anyway the implants are different now to 10 years ago so it's comparing apples and oranges imo.

Hey spot on, do you have any references to this you can share? I found lots online about all sorts of links between implants and scary autoimmune things--would be interesting to read otherwise.

I for one support you and would LOVE for you still to share here. I am very interested in how it goes for you! Or at least post somewhere (if not in the "small-breasted supoort" place and let us know where.

I totally agree, Koffeewitch, your mom was/is right on. I feel the same way about my mom and her mom and sister, I'm very grateful that they taught me to appreciate and compliment other women. Espcially now that I'm older, I recall when I was a teen and twenty-something, they always enjoyed and complimented MY looks - never being resentful or critical of me for being young and attractive. So now that I'm older, when I'm around teenage girls (which I am often because of my son), I also go out of my way to compliment them and build them up, rather than being a bitter old hag, LOL! I also realize that even though they look incredibly beautiful to me, they all undoubtedly suffer some of the same insecurities we all do - whether it's boob size, cellulite, body hair, you name it. A sincere compliment never hurt anyone. Pay it forward.

[koffeewitch]

nbdx: I think it's really sweet when a woman compliments another woman's appearance...I guess I got that from my mom; she would always say something positive if she saw another beautiful woman. When I got older and met the other kind of women, the one's who start nasty catty slandering everytime they see an attractive woman, I appreciated my mom's influence all the more.

AP pulled up a previously buried thread. I don't feel like I have much to post in it, but I'm going through the backposts. Thanks AP.

I pulled together an 80's punk rocker costume at last minute. I wasn't able to pull off the flapper dress because I was too tall for it. Overall, it was a really fun Halloween party. There was some boobie talk but it was nothing bad (I got really, really drunk last year and told my buddy that his wife has phenominal breasts...oh man, I'm still super embarrassed about that...) His wife was super appreciative for my compliment, though. Phew! The other women mentioned when they developed, one in 3rd grade and the other in 5th. I was worried they were going to turn to me and say "and she never did, ha ha ha!" but that didn't happen. And even if it did, I'd tell them I started developing when I was a freshman in high school. I gotta ease up about boobs around others, seriously.

Also, my buddy's wife is pregnant, and he's reveling in the fact that her previously-big-boobs are now ENORMOUS. A two men congratulated him. There was the little moment of "hooray for big boobs" but it was there and gone in a second. And their big boob talk shouldn't diminish the fact that small boobs are awesome. His wife wasn't present -- I wonder if she would have liked that commentary about her.

[buttercups]

Yes nbdx, I think a plastic surgery thread would be a great idea! I'd love to hear from people who have gotten boob jobs and the like.

Watched the movie Splice last night at a Halloween party-the women who plays the creature def has small boobies and I was waiting for people to comment but no one did-made me happy because I was afraid of the potentially dumb comments that people were going to say.

Well I hope everyone is having a Happy Halloween. Seems like the sluttier the costume, the more cleavage that is required to wear it. I chose not to dress up this year for the first time ever, but mainly cause I was too busy to come up with anything. Hope you're all rockin the small boobies in your costumes tonight!

<3 buttercups

[nbdx0645]

This conversation makes me wonder -- should a general plastic surgery thread be introduced if one doesn't already exist?

[strongirl]

On the flapper and 'twenties costumes, I think I've mentioned in here before that my grandmother was a wild woman and a flapper. She was very large breasted and used to "bind" her breasts, as did her friends, to look good in those awesome clothes.

[discowombat]

hope you continue to post- big boobies or small you've got a lot to share!

I agree. You should definitely stay for awhile Spot-on!

[buttercups]

Yes nbdx that's it, thanks!

Haha spot-on guess I'll have to buy a few more and rotate-and yes they do get stretched out in the cups so don't think you're boobs got smaller or anything they just stretch and then gap out, ugh!

I really want to find a good 1 cup size padded bra that doesn't look pointy or too too small- what are everyone's favorites??

Wish you all the best spot- on and yes please do update. It's part of the little boob process seeing all the options that we might have. And I also like to hear information from people I've come to know aren't fake and respect, so of course your opinion would be most valued. And I also hope you continue to post- big boobies or small you've got a lot to share!

[spot-on]

Thanks Buttercups. Yep the risks are scary, but really when you consider how low they are it's less than the risk of having a car crash, yet people drive every day. There has been NO link between implants and the immune disease etc women have attributed to implants - the FDA did HUGE studies on this, and anyway the implants are different now to 10 years ago so it's comparing apples and oranges imo.

The VS bra, I dunno I don't tend to sweat much in it as I never wore it in summer, but the other VS one I have with the gel inserts always makes me sweat. I just wash them more often, switching them out. With the padded bra's I have I go from regular, to +1 cup, then +2 cups! I wonder what people think sometimes lol! I will say that that bra that adds 2 cups sizes has been annoying though considering I bought it 2-3 months ago and now it;s too big in the cup I still wear it though...

I will try and pop by and keep you posted if you want info. I don't want to share too much as this is a small boob support group and getting implants kinda goes against that? But I guess it's the flipside to the coin right? If anyone has any objections to me updating you all, let me know

As of today I am penciled in for surgery on the 7th December

The reasons below is exactly it right now. I am sick and tired of wondering and wishing and hoping. It's just time for me to consider other options...

Depressing. I want to be happy with myself though. Gotta keep working on it somehow. This is where I feel your pain Spot-on and I'm not sure if I want to go through the rest of my 20s and into my 30s feeling this way. But like I already said implants scare the crap outta me and I have this fear like Strongirl mentioned that if I need to get them taken out then I'll look even worse than I do now. *sigh* Damned if you do, damned if you don't!!

[spot-on]

Thanks Strongirl for the suggestion, but I have been hanging out an an implant forum for the last 2+ months. I've asked a TON of questions and made some friends who were similar sizes to me (weight, height, original breast size) to check their photo's (before, during & after), ask opinions, etc. Honestly their answers have been very helpful, sure some are just like "do it" but others are asking questions, working through my issues etc. I honestly think I feel very informed about it and more confident in making my decision.

There's a website with similar forums to this, for women with or considering implants, I don't have the link but if you google "Yes, they're fake" you should find it. I have issues with the whole thing and some of the posters turn me off but there is good info and it is nice to see women there being supportive of each other and sharing medical info, much like we do.

Buttercups, I am a documentary junkie. This is the ep you saw: True Life: I Hate My Plastic Surgery

Anarch, the costume sounds fab. I was thinking about being a flapper this year.

[KeraBear]

Spot-on, I'd miss your comments here, but you gotta do what's right for you, so sincere good luck wishes from me too.

happy belated birthdays to nbdx and KeraBear!
I rented a 1920s/1930s gown for a Hallowe'en party. The bodice is designed rather nicely to show off small boobs.

Nice! From what I understand, small boobs were all the rage back then, so i guess that makes sense. Ahh... to have a time machine!

First and foremost: Happy Birthday KeraBear and nbdx!!! Love to you both!!! xoxoox

And now on to the implants...

Spot-on I fully support you too, like everyone else is saying it is your decision and your body and I truly hope you do what makes you the happiest. I guess implants just freak me out because of the risks of surgery, and then all the chronic pain conditions and crap that many people report who have had implants. I saw this one show -it might have been on BBC or MTV, I forget, where a super active women like you got implants. They gave her some sort of arthritis/chronic pain syndrome and she could no longer exercise or be active like she always was. On the show she was getting her implants taken out in hopes that she could return to her normal, active self. I would just hate for anything like this to happen to you and I'm sure you are aware of all of the risks, etc., but that story just reminded me of you because she was in such incredible shape before the implants gave her chronic pain. But I am not trying to influence your decision one way or the other and if you go through with it please keep us posted. I would like to know how it went and everything in case I end up leaning in that direction, which is entirely possible.

(And another quick, kinda embarrassing question haha! I wear those VS mega bras too and how the hell do you keep them from smelling?? Mine always reek cause it's hot and sweaty in there and the pads just absorb all the sweat-gross! Do you do anything to clean them? Just washing them doesn't seem to be enough!!)


And I would once again like to reiterate to all you girls who are full A/B cups that someone over here is truly envious and there are people (*cough * ME *cough*) who would KILL to look like you. I've been way down on my little boobies lately and I think it's because of how freakin little they really are. Can't even reach an A cup to save my life. Depressing. I want to be happy with myself though. Gotta keep working on it somehow. This is where I feel your pain Spot-on and I'm not sure if I want to go through the rest of my 20s and into my 30s feeling this way. But like I already said implants scare the crap outta me and I have this fear like Strongirl mentioned that if I need to get them taken out then I'll look even worse than I do now. *sigh* Damned if you do, damned if you don't!!

[strongirl]

Spot-on, a huge hug to you - ultimately this is your body and your decision and the whole point is being able to enjoy your body and your life, so if implants help you do that, then get implants.

I'm rushed so this may be a bit random.

There's a website with similar forums to this, for women with or considering implants, I don't have the link but if you google "Yes, they're fake" you should find it. I have issues with the whole thing and some of the posters turn me off but there is good info and it is nice to see women there being supportive of each other and sharing medical info, much like we do.

Re. post-puberty size changes, I'm 49 but when I was in my late 30's and joked with some older friends about getting implants, several of them said "Don't! Wait till perimenopause and you'll gain a cup size or two." Well, mine have always gone up and down but I must say in the past few years I have gained - at the peak of my cycle I'm now about a mid-B and have even hit some large B/small C days (at the same weight/body fat as before). I'm normally pretty much a 34A and at biggest a small B. From what I've learned, this is common. For what it's worth, my life is no different or better for this change, including my sex life which was already awesome.

Have you considered Macrolane injections to get a couple of cup sizes without permanently changing anything? I know we've touched on them in here before and many people had a strong negative reaction to the idea, but I think there's a case for 1) it's not permanent so if you decide you don't like it, you're not stuck 2) hyaluronic acid is naturally present in all soft tissue, rather than a large foreign body in you 3) it's not so extreme and is natural looking. They're not available in the US but you can get them in the UK and Canada.

One last random note: I've had a couple of friends who got ex-planted and man, it is not a pretty thing. They're much happier without the implants and I grant you, it was a coin toss as to which was uglier but still - think hard before you do this. You can't truly "go back" to what you now have.

[KeraBear]

Thanks! Happy Birthday to you toooooooooooo!!

I almost forgot to mention that I ran into two young woman that were rocking some small booblets this past weekend. One was at a customer rep at the AT&T store. And the other was a waitress at a Lone Star restaurant. I was in awe because they radiated such cool and confidence. They could not have been more than a AA cup too. Gals like these always leave me feeling good about myself and inspired to rock myself out too!

This made me observe that whenever i run into another girl, I ALWAYS find myself taking note of her boobs. Always. Like with these gals i just mentioned, and then i made a judgment about them even though in this case it was super positive, it was a judgment all the same. Which makes me think that other girls are always taking note of MY boobs and making a judgment about me - for better or for worse. SOOOOOOOOOO.... now i am feeling super self conscious. Am i making any sense?

[Allison-Shine]

This talk reminds me of what my mum said to me recently. I'd been shopping and bought a new bra set, and said how my 14 year old cousin had also got one (as they were on offer). My mum asked if she (cousin) had 'overtaken' me yet (even though it's pretty damn obvious) and I said yes quite matter of factly without getting embarrassed and her reply was in a pitying voice "oh, never mind, you'll catch up one day". I was like no mum I'm 22 and have no intention of getting fat so I doubt that's going to happen. She went on about boobs always changing etc. She made it out to be some kind of competition/race...that I was losing. Which is exactly the mindset I'm trying to avoid. grr.

Ahh the comparing and its subjects of "overtaking" and "surpassion". I have gotten that from family and friends of family that have those "blooming" girls as daughters, sisters and freinds but thankfully I don't get any of that from my own circle of friends.

And that is the age range when these girls start overtaking us, anywhere from 11-16. And this still happens to slender B-cupped women like myself.

[Allison-Shine]

(((spot-on))) You're an intelligent lady who's thought about this for a long time. I'm sure you'll do what's right for you.

KeraBear, you might still develop more. My younger sister grew a cup size in her mid 20's, with no weight gain! On the other hand, i spent a long time hoping mine would fill out more. I'm pretty comfortable with them now, though. Maybe if I ever get pregnant or something...

spot-on's comment about sports bras reminds me: they all mash you down some, but i bought this bra from Title Nine, and it is much better than the others i've tried. very little compression, definitely avoids the "uniboob" look, and it's nice and wicking.

I agree as I have told KeraBear myself that she could still develop more. I was an A cup until a few months after I turned 18 and developed into a B. I still call it "my little miracle" I was not really counting on it happening but I was glad that it did. One can still develop a little more in adulthood.
