On this topic, I saw a cute shirt over the weekend: "Big or small, save them all!"

Lol! I want that shirt!! Faaaaabulous, dahling karategrrl!

Guys I gotta tell ya, I've had every cup size...I started out a C cup and then got huge gajumbo DDDs when I was first breastfeeding, then my kids sucked me down to an A cup, then I returned to large B/small C averageness AND I am totally envious of smaller busted women.
Reasons...
1. Small boobies look cute and perky sans bra; bigger boobies just sag (unless they are fake).
2. So many cute tops look great on smaller busted women and trashy on large busted women.
3. When I have my milk engorgement DD's going on, I get way too much attention from the jerkiest men in the entire universe. (Like calm down dumb asses, it's just MILK)
4. Smaller busted women age much better... and look better naked. (that sagging issue, again)
5. Models and actresses are usually smaller busted...that "cleavage" you see in the movies is painted on or created with tape.
TRUST ME, small perky boobs = sexy; do you really want tits that will hang to your belly button someday??

I had to post this here. Being that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month (at least in the USA), this is timely.

breast cancer awareness ads

I don't agree that they're putting male sexism to "good use," but it's interesting how they are playing off of it. Bottom line is (and this is sad), men only care about breast cancer when the threat of it means fewer nice titties for their entertainment. Or at least that's what the ad industry thinks.

I'm a little late replying here, I'm in a situation where I can't get on the compy alot.

Aithinne- I love the outfit! Open back tops were made for small busties, what a smokin' hot ensemble!!

I just got a dress (geez it's so short, almost a tunic) from forever21 that is top to bottom black fringe and looks best au natural, I got it for my brother's "speakeasy party" but it may double for halloween. I'm wavering between fishnets and thigh highs. I want to be sexy, not trashy, what do y'all think?

here's to looking "un-cute!"

[Aithinne]

Furbabies!!! How cuuuuuuuuuute!! Lol. I think I'll go out and pet my kitties now.

Birthday party was the most fun I've had on a birthday. Although, my throat is really raw now because drinking and being around people who smoke tends to do that to me. I'm pretty positive I can call the time with Mr. Yum a success. He sort of dragged me up to the front of the bar where the musicians were for a dance. And I'm fairly confident that I felt something a little stiff against my leg during the dance. *Happy yay-ness!* I looked very un-cute in my getup, and it accomplished what it needed to accomplish. But unfortuantely, I didn't take any pics.. I wanted to share with the group the awesome small boobie sexiness! But, *sigh*, I forgot to grab my camera. We also crashed at his friend's place and I got to snuggle/sleep for a long time with him. *comfy*

Yay, I'm happy today. Don't quite have the hook set yet, but I think I'm well on my way...


Yippee, I'm a hardcore bustie now!

[karategrrl]

Aithinne - that's some excellent advice on stress relief! My pets do it for me too.

Me too. My furbabies are like little pieces of Heaven.

[strongirl]

Well said, Karategrrl. I'm a Bettie Page fan, too. The camera loved her and she loved it right back.

Aithinne - that's some excellent advice on stress relief! My pets do it for me too. The other day my bf was having a stressful day and went to lie down on the bed then called one of our dogs, saying "Get up here, I need to pet you and lower my blood pressure!"


Have a happy birthday, Aithinne! I meant to tell you I think your lace top is WAY HOT!!! You'll look fabulous! Have a great time! That male you mentioned woud be very lucky to have you flirt with him.

[karategrrl]

strongirl, I hear ya on the Bettie Page thing. Now, SHE was freaking beautiful. And SEXY. I'll always love her. But by today's inflated standards, she is now considered "small." My ex had a collection of pinup art (some was art, some was trash). He had prints of Vargas paintings modeled after Bettie page (with boobs inflated) and a couple of actual autographed photos (one topless). Her breasts were fricking beautiful just the way God made 'em, not the Vargas way.

Long live Bettie Page (at least in our hearts).

Well, I think you should sit down and think of the things that make you really happy and take stress away, keep them in the back of your mind, and then utilize them when you start feeling bad about your body. For example, do you have pets? I think pets are probably the #1 stress reliever. Whenever I feel bad, I go out and pet my doggies and kitties and it never fails to make me happy. Got a hobby? Maybe if your hobby is something that requires a lot of concentration, you could work on that. Or maybe if you have artistic talent, you could draw something... Just think of things that you could do so you don't get stuck in the negative cycle. The more you practice, the easier it is to shut off the cycle and not give the negative train momentum.

My b-day is today, but we're going out tomorrow. I think there is something to be said for going out dressed in the classy version of sexy. So many chicks go out and let it all hang out- the skirts barely cover their ass, their shirts may as well be pasties for all the cleavage they cover, and all this in one outfit... Women dressed this way for a night on the town are a dime a dozen, so maybe I'll stand out by not giving everything away to the viewing public.

I've got a certain male in mind that I'm trying to grab the attention of, so we'll see how it goes. I think my chances are good for tomorrow night.

[buttercups]

Awww thats great Aithinne! It's def true that some tops actually do look better on us smallies (Not to diss our bigger busted sisters bc there's plenty of tops that look really hot on you, just us smallies need to know we can look good too)! That outfit is so sexy and you must look sooooo hot and gorgeous in it!! What day is your bday? You're going to have such a great time and all eyes are gonna be on you in that lace top! I can't wait to hear about all the men youll have to fend off!

Thanks for making me feel better and for the stress-relieving tips. Going for a run is something I really should do next time.

You rock! <3 buttercups

[Aithinne]

Scapegoating your breasts is not a good idea buttercups. Sounds like perhaps you need to find some healthier ways of dealing with stress? Maybe go for a run or a brisk walk or something? I know that exercise is a big stress-reliever with all the feel-good hormones released when you do it. I use a distraction method, which is effective most of the time now for me. Although, sometimes it doesn't work, like with the 'cute' incident.

One way to relieve stress (which I do not recommend doing all the time or your wallet will feel the punch), is to go shopping. Like your bf, buttercups, my b-day is this week. I went shopping today after work to find some more nice pants for work, and also an outfit I felt hot and sexy (NOT CUTE!) in for going out on Friday for the b-day celebration. I found this shirt in black (which I got a black cami to go underneath, and this pair of pants to go with it), and I got to say, I think this shirt was made for small boobie women. It really hugs the curves you got and makes the small boobie body look very streamlined. It is pretty dang sexy if you ask me, but in a classy, not trampy way. But I will have to wear a strapless bra under my cami because the fabric of the shirt lays better and flatter if I do. The cami sucked everything in so that I looked like an AA, and man, it looked smokin hot. So, I will edit my thinking that only large-busted women look best in every article of clothing ever made. Because honestly, this shirt I think really would look best on a small-breasted woman. Go figure, eh?

Buttercups, I swear I actually thought of you while I was in the dressing room looking smaller than I am and thinking it looked hot that way! I wanted to tell you about the shirt because I know you've been having a hard time with your little boobies. I'm sorry you're having a bad day and week, but I'm glad you come here to talk and get support!

Two thumbs up to you and your teeny booblets! Everyone, *collective cheer*!!!!

[buttercups]

Arg ladies I'm having such a bad week body-wise ( and everything-wise) and i cant get it together. I'm on such a low and everytime I think I'm doing ok I have some sort of breakdown. It could be because I'm feeling extra stressed with school and my mom called me a "slacker" today even though I have always gotten straight A's my entire life and have always worked really hard to do that. I think when I am stressed about other things I start to really hate my breasts- I take my whole life out on those poor tiny things. I guess we all have our ups and downs and I need to try to get back up before the week is out- its my bfs bday at the end of the week so i want to pull myself out of this bad mood. It doesn't help that I saw a movie today with many scenes of girls with gorgeous figures and of course none of them resembled mine..sorry to be such a downer promise ill be more up later.

[strongirl]

Angie, I totally agree about women paying money to make their bodies uglier. When I was younger I fantasized some about getting implants and thought that if I ever had the money, it might be something I'd do. But the first time I used the Internet to look through bunches of implant before and after pics, I was shocked at how much better I liked the befores! It really turned my head around.

[angie_21]

When my mom had reconstructive surgery, there was an option to get the fat tissue transfer instead of an imlant.. but guess what, she wasn't "fat" enough for the procedure to be done safely. You need a lot of stomach fat tissue, and it has to all be the extra jiggly kind that sits above the muscle. I think most of us on this board wouldn't be safely having this procedure anytime soon.. and by the time we gained enough weight, our boobs might be a lot bigger than they used to be anyways!

I agree with Aithinne, the more popular implants become, the less interesting large boobs become, and the more exotic & beautiful small, natural, unscarred breasts are.

I saw that documentary strongirl, it was pretty interesting. Body modification is amazing stuff, and people have been doing it for a long, long time, long before surgical techniques existed, and even when it endangered their health. It would be foolish to underestimate the importance of the body in the "body-mind" connection. It's just too bad how often the health & condition of the body gets ignored for the appearance of the body. It's also too bad to me, that girls pay money to make they bodies (in my opinion) uglier, because they don't feel pretty the way they are. It's so rare that plastic surgery actually looks good, but the cosmetic industry fools people into believing that money can buy beauty and hapiness and self-acceptance. Somehow, people become so ashamed of their own bodies that they are willing to try anything, spend any amount of money, risk any harm to their bodies to achieve the unattainable goals of beauty that they've allowed themselves to believe in. All to help a few surgeons buy yachts.

[Aithinne]

Well, I think the body modification to look like a cat, etc is different (or coming from a different head space) than women who modify their breasts through breast augmentation. I think many women get a boob job to try to fit in with everyone else, and to feel normal and attractive, but I doubt the guy that got modified to look like a cat got it to fit in! He probably wanted to be different than everyone else!

I always try to think that maybe if a whole slew of women get breast implants then the smallies will become an exotic minority. Maybe then small breasts will be more noticable since no one would have them anymore! And if you really think about it, it would be awfully boring to see the 'same woman' everywhere you go.

[strongirl]

Buttercups, you are not being "labeled as inadequate by the world". Only by yourself, and only on bad days.

I've always had mixed feelings about the whole "change your head" versus "change your body" thing. There's just so much depth to this issue. Generally speaking I think it's healthier to change your head in most cases. At the same time, I try not to slam those who opt to change their bodies.

Has anyone seen the documentary "Modify"? It is NOT for the faint of heart nor weak of stomach, LOL, but it is a fascinating look at extreme body modifications, why people do them, and what it all means and doesn't mean. From Stalking Cat, a guy who has surgically altered and tattooed himself to closely resemble a human cat, to people who hang in the air on hooks through their flesh, to people who get their tongues forked, I came away with a renewed sense of the importance of letting people make their own choices about how to live in their bodies and being non-judgmental and accepting about the wide range of forms that can take. Mind you I would NEVER want to do stuff like that to my body! But I respect others' right to do what they want without passing judgment on them.

By FAR the grossest and most horrifying thing in the film was when they showed breast implants being removed - I actually screamed and hid my face in my boyfriends chest - meanwhile, he had his eyes shut tight. It was awful seeing those shiny plasticky blobs falling out of a split open breast flap that looked like a bloody fresh steak. Gawd! My bf said "Please don't ever mutilate your breasts like that!"

So while I support anyone who feels they can't be happy unless they have their upper lip split to resemble a feline, or who wants breast implants, at the same time I don't think that sort of thing is healthy for most people. It's not for me. And as a woman I resent the pressure to alter myself to meet some marketing ideal. Ditto the fat transfer thing. I agree, Buttercups, I don't want to see a "sea of massive breasts" and it is alarming how the bar has been set higher and higher on what "large" is. I might have mentioned in here before that I was paging through an issue of Playboy that had multiple pics of various women on one page and my eye went to the one that looked "small and natural". It was Betty Page, the 50's pinup model, who was at the time known for her voluptuousness. Next to all the fake boobs, she actually looked small-breasted! That's how much our visual standard has been warped by the social phenomenon of implants.

I'm obviously all over the place on this issue and rambling so Ill stop...but I guess what I will tell myself and what may help you, Buttercups, is that while I respect other people's right to alter their bodies if they so choose, I prefer to love and enjoy mine in its natural state and be secure in the knowledge that small breasts are lovely, natural, and healthy and as such, quite sexy.

Ugh i just read another article about that fat-depositing procedure karategrrl was talking about. I dont know why but it just made me feel really depressed. I guess that's because it seemed like women were finally waking up and accepting their bodies more and realizing implants were dangerous and taking them out, and now we're gonna have another surge of breast augmentation. Everyone is gonna be rushing to get this procedure done now and I'm gonna keep on feeling insecure in a sea of massive breasts. Although surgery would also be an option for me, i don't think i have enough fat on any other part of my body since I'm a small girl everywhere, and I am also terrified of surgery and wouldnt be able to fund it. I just want society to move towards thinking small breasts are beautiful, and with all these augmentation procedures out there it seems like I will keep on being labeled as inadequate by the world. blah.

I know that you are smaller than most but not all of us are busty collectively making up that "sea of massive breasts". I have my insecurites still but I do see a lot smaller women out there too.

I don't think a fat transfer would make a shapely bust. Since when is the fat on anywhere else your body flattering and toned?
