most my bikini tops i've had have been halter neck type (i've no idea what you call them). i like them because they lift my boobs from my armpits and you don't have to worry about the straps falling. but i think i should try a bandeau top, because they're so cute!

my mom always says, that it was freaky beeing pregnant/breastfeeding, because she suddenly got the things on the front that were always on her way. i would imagine jumping from a to c is a bit of a shock for anyone.

dj-bm hope you and your boy are still fine. he sounds fantastic!

i used to have this awesome baby blue bandeau bikini that i LOVED and now the top has vanished. i wore that thing since i was 16. sigh. they do look ever so hot on ladies like us. that is a really cute top, anonymoose, thanks for sharing!

I recently discovered that shirts that have this kind of cut on top http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/im...mp;op_sharpen=1 actually look good on small gals. I didn't think it would because of the v-neck but the way the fabric criss crosses up there and the ties that many of them have under the bust actually shows off what we have rather nicely! Even more on the upside, since most of us don't really have much in the way of cleaveage they don't have more boobage sticking out than would be appropriate for work, they just look really nice! I'm just excited about my discovery and wanted to pass it along

Knorl for some reason bandeau tops look fucking fabulous on small breasts. That just reminded me of bra shopping with my friend recently for strapless bras and I tried on a bandeau and she said she couldn't wear them because her boobs were too big. She then had to try on something with underwires and padding galore so she could get support. So every time I feel bad about how I look I just remember that I don't have to wear those horrible underwire bras ( I hate them! ) or even a bra at all.

hi small busted busties,
i haven't been in the lounge for quite some time now and wanted to stop by and see what's going on. i wanted to relate how funny it is that at normally 34AAs, for the first time (i'm 6 weeks post partum), I've got 34B-Cs and now it just feels like they get in the way! it doesn't help that i'm breastfeeding obviously, so they are leaky and sore somewhat, but I was laying on my stomach and my boob got squished. obviously, i don't know if normally bigger boobed gals feel this way, but possibly it's just when you've got a particular way of moving in the world, all of a sudden, there are these things on your chest.

but i love that being tiny boobed to begin with, i just have perky boobs now. and you really get the sense of what these things are on your chest - to nourish your lovable new beebob baby! all of a sudden (not as if it didn't occur to me before) there is something even more shallow about women with their fake silicone silos. i do respect ppl's choices about their bodies, but that's just how it sort of feels - that if you can't do anything with them other than look at them, well what's the point?

[knorl05]

ps. bathing suits. i just bought a new one. it's bandeau top and small bottoms... white with blue trim and fishnet overtop. no padding really but because of the cut it gives the illusion of more curves up top.

[knorl05]

dj biz: glad to hear you've met a rad guy who finds everything about you sexy.. makes you feel so much better about yourself and about getting down and dirty with him. i know when i am comfortable with someone, i can be less inhibited. and that makes it more fun for everyone. luckily, i've only dated one guy when i was 18 who told me i should get my boobs done. other than that guys have been more than content with my perky titties. in fact, many of them have told me i could be a stripper if i wanted, so that tells me they think i'm sexy despite the fact i dont fit the feminine ideal. they are more than willing to offer compliments when they come to mind. but again i think it's the type of guys i date. they're real passionate and expressive and like me for who i am. what i've learned is the more sure you are of yourself, the more guys will be attracted to your style.

this whole suicide girls trend just proves that guys like lots of different things about women, but mostly they just like women. i've said it before and i'll say it again, unfortunately i think women are more critical of other women's bodies than men are of women. i think if more women challenge the ideal of feminity and accept themselves as they are, we'd start to notice that carry over to the media and into society as a whole. i think if more women realized how immature it is to determine their worth based on their bodies, they'd be more successful and overall contented with their lives.

that's just my piece. hope you ladies dont mind my rant. *descends from soapbox*

[edie52]

Some triangle tops look good on me, others, horrid. I have one great bikini that is made of a thicker crochet material. Because it's thick it doesn't pucker or look weird when it gets wet, and I tie it real tight halter style so I almost have cleavage, and everything stays put.

[dj-bizmonkey]

just got back from an utterly amazing vacation with my now, after some serious discussion, boyfriend. i had my buddies back in the states mail me some cute bra and panty sets since all my underwear here is for working in the field (read, stained and full of holes) and not appropriate for long nights of hot jungle sex. but, of course, the bras they sent me were super padded and my boy said the sweetest thing, 'sure, they look all fancy, but they feel like shit.' he kept trying to feel me up and getting frustrated that he couldn't get to 'the soft, tender part,' fast enough. he ended up just poking at the part of my breasts that were being pushed up at the top and reaching in under the cups. in the end it was 'take that silly thing off and let me see the real, gorgeous you.' long story short, he adores my breasts and can't keep his hands off them. i've been with guys in the past that just skipped over them entirely. not this one, he makes me feel confident and sexy, thank goodness!

yes, yes, yes, knorl and sassafrass, fuck vickies. and if buying a bra that gives you more shape makes you feel confident (regardless of false advertising) then you should do it! knorl, totally with you on the type of guys, if he gets pissed off or disappointed that you're wearing a water-bra, he's obviously way too superficial to be worthwhile.

as for being tiny on top and more blessed on the bottom (pun intended), do y'all get totally frustrated shopping for bikinis? this makes me insano, especially when the mix and match sizes selections cost $20 more than the pre-paired ones. ugh. i just bought a super skimpy costa rican suit, mix and match, for only $15. of course, it will probably melt once i get it in the ocean, but it looks good.... i recommend tiny tiny, tight triangle tops for us, at least for my A's, it makes them look super hot, almost, dare i say, modelesque.

[knorl05]

false advertising ha. yeah. i could be accused of that, and i dont really care. waterbras and turkey fillets are some great inventions. i figure, any guy who i'm gonna let feel me up isnt a guy who likes me for my breasts anyway so i'm not too worried about it. it's our little secret.

re: grown up clothes. that's a tough call. i was working in sales for a while so i had to buy a bunch of suits.. and i could not find any OTR that fit me well. i never had the money to have them tailored so i would be swimming in the size 4 suit coats. it looked "nice" but i just felt like i was wearing my mommy's clothes.

re: viki secret bras. hate them. not only do they not fit right, they do not hold up long either.

[fantaz]

You all seem to have the same body I do! My measurements are like 33-26-37 or something like that!
Do any of you all have a hard time finding shirts that fit you? I want to dress like the adult I am, but since I am so small on top (and have a long torso and stick arms), I can only fit into the junior section stuff! does anyone know of a place (that is CHEAP!) that makes nice clothes for peaple like me?

[sassafrass]

dj-bizmonkey: YES!! I hate Victoria's Secret, too. Their stuff does not fit well. Not the panties, not the bras. Uhg. It's like it's all designed by a man who has no concept of how the female body really works. I feel the same way about padding: sometimes I want a little---just enough to shield my nipple-nubs from the world---but not enough to be accused of false advertising. They're hard to find...

i went through my teens taking comfort in having a great butt, since the breast appartment was kind of non-existing. i'm all for focusing on the positive sides:) you can probably be self-conscious about anything in your body, from your toes to the back of your head (and, no, i'm not making these examples up). but i think breasts are one of the ways people are divided in the society to gender categories, in the same way as it's thougt that beeing a mother somehow makes a woman. i don't think many people consciously think this way, but we all have been brought up to associate this way. breasts=woman, the bigger the the more of a woman you are. i'm not so sure if gender should be the most defining thing to build up ones identity, but that's the way it seems to be today. and there for the elements that emphasize that part of ones identety seem to have a great significance to people. when you walk down the street gender is one of the first thing you notice about people, i don't think anuone honestly can say that the first thing they think about seeing a stranger in the street is, is what their favorite pastry is.

but does anyone know why breasts have become one of the thigs that signify a woman? i meen, there are other things like hair, and especially facial hair, that have the same "purpose".

i'm of to taking pride in my long torso, broad shoulders, long arms and my nice butt:)

[rositachiquita58]

I had a thought recently: Some women are probably self-conscious about their butt being too flat or something, but there isn't any Flat-Butt Support Group in the lounge. Is it because butts aren't as important in our society? I think it is. I'd choose a great rack over a great butt....then again, I *do* have a great butt. "The grass is always greener," eh?

[greenbean]

The bra I got was on sale for $25. Normally I think they run up into the $40 range, which I think is a lot but, you know, I'm used to the $10 training bras at Mervyns! This bra is my first "adult" bra that cups my breasts properly. I have a couple other adult bras but they all have space between me and the cup, like if someone hugs me it might indent!

[crinoline]

Regarding the sliding-to-the-side effect. When Crinoboy first saw me naked lying down he was shocked to discover that my breasts did not hover over my chest like hard little half-spheres. I think that comes from seeing too many fake boobs in porn, that do not move like a natural body should. Now, however, he loves the way my chest looks from any angle, and he knows that all he has to do is reach to the side and scoop him up some boobies, lol. I'm a 32A (would be 30A, but they don't make those in my part of the world) so when I lie down I really am completely flat. If it really bothers you though, then yes, an underwire top is the best answer, although I find those hard to find in my size. I'm sure many styles would be available in 34C (which is NOT small, btw).

greenbean- what is the price range for that brand, Intimissimi? (which I first read as "Infinitesimal" lol, how Freudian of me) Your new bra sounds too cute!

[greenbean]

"Girls with long torsos, small boobs and short legs are hot!" --Karategirl, thats totally me, but add 'broad shoulders' to the list!

I adore this model simply because she rocks the short-legged, wide shouder, small-boob look so well: http://lithiumpicnic.fotki.com/prints_for_...nearedroom.html

[greenbean]

I just wanted to pop in and say that I finally found a cute bra that fits me!!! I'm a 34AA and I usually have to shop in the training-bra section...which is cool cuz its cheaper, but the styles tend to be real dull and you know, I've always longed to be able to wear a sexy lacy bra that they only make for the big girls.

Anyway, the brand is "Intimissimi" and they are Italian. I found it at Victoria's Secret (I guess they are starting to carry other brands?) and the only reason i was there was for the underwear sale...I agree Victoria's Secret never has bras in small cups unless there are lined with gi-normous pillows. no thank you! I mean yeah, what the f*ck? Is it so shocking that us small-busties just want to enhance our natural shape rather than fake it entirely? Oh, and is it so wrong that maybe we want somehing cute too? Or is that only for girls with cleavage? I used to think I was sol,..

But now!! I have my first pretty bra! Its pale pink with delicate eyelit mesh, embroidered brown straps and a brown bow in the center.. and only minimal padding for form! Yeah!!!!

[dj-bizmonkey]

dani, i think that 'droopage' happens to all ladies, big or small. believe it or not, alot of your breast tissue is contained even in your upper armpit (your supposed to check there when you do you monthly breast exam). i guess gravity just drags them down. i wouldn't, however, classify a 34C as 'small' in my book. if that's small, then i must be microscopic! i don't know if there is a cure for the side sliding....maybe try a bikini top with underwire so you get some support? i'm sure you have the same problem when you're having sex in the missionary position as well. i've found that girl on top not only feels empowering, it makes your breasts look even more gorgeous from above, big or small, bouncing wildly around. if you're feeling less than sexy in the bedroom due to droopage or size, that position can help restore confidence.
