So I went to look at strapless bra's tonight. I only had 30 mins and was NOT enough, I should have known better. I tried on 32C and it cut my breast tissue in half, seriously! WTF? I tried on 34B, same. I laughed and tried on the 34C and WAAAAYYYY too big (as it should be no way on this damn earth am I a 34C!!). Why is it so fucking difficult to find a decent bra? You find one that fits, but if you want one with/without padding you need a different damn size! Then in a different store, different size. I came out the store today thinking that bra manufacturers are obviously men. Cos no woman on this earth would put another woman this crap surely?

Oh that reminds me- I got curious after hearing some of you talk about how much pleasure you got from your breasts/nipples. even thought Im not with anyone right now I gave it a little try myself and wow, i can definatly see what you were all talking about. It felt a little strange at first because I usually try to just ignore my boobs and touchign them reminds me of all the issues I have and totally puts me off. But I kept with it and turns out small ones really are sensitive lol. Can't wait til I'm with my next partner to experiment with that one. I also imagine it could help me a little being more confident sexually- yknow like if I told him how much it turned me on he'd probably like it as much as me and that would turn my breasts into a positive thing sexually rather than a negative one like usual. so yeah, once again thanks ladies:)

Definitely keep experimenting... I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered what I could feel whan stimulated the right way. And experimenting is all part of the fun!

Bra fitting sucks... it's so complicated, yet one can rarely find a really comfortable bra. I agree there should be more half cups or something... it would make more sense and would be way more comfortable, especially non-padded bras!

[angie_21]

I've always hated 2 and a half men, but that story really takes the cake. Wanting his girlfriend to go through back pain and unhappiness just so he can look at big tits.. all other things about size and beauty aside, how is anyone supposed to watch a show that disgusting and shallow? also, how is people looking as your butt supposed to be a deterrent? I love that people check out my ass. it's awesome, they should check it out.

I'm going to be away for a week or so for a school related trip. Keep on rockin the tiny titties everyone! big hugs and postive vibes all around!

We need pics, we need names Gotta give the respect to another hot smallie!

Speaking of movies, I don't know if you guys have seen the newest Fast and Furious movie, but I looooove it for the main girl in the movie. She's just about the tiniest girl I've seen in movies, and she's portrayed as the 'hot chick' in the movie, instead of a sad moping whiner. It made me so happy when I saw that movie that a really tiny-breasted girl was the eye candy. All I kept thinking was GO HER! And in the movie, she never wears a bra, so her nips are poking out the entire time, another detail that made me cheer! She certainly wasn't ashamed of her little assets.

re: american pie, yeah I think they've done a few straight to DVD sequels. Funny yours had small boobs in it, the one we watched was the opposite and the girls were meant to be younger!

Re: bra fitting. One woman I spoke to who is a "fitter" for a major bra store in England said that measurements are just a guide, never take them as a rule. Like you I'm inbetween sizes the 34B rides up my back and I have to have the shoulder straps tight and it's a little "roomy" but the 34A is quad boob city, hehehe so funny to say that when we're small but it's still quad boob!. The 32B I bust out in the left boob (again major double boob) but it fits nice on the right one but I don't seem to quite fill a 32C on either. Plus if I am packing on for my cycle then it's a whole other story! I wish they did nearly sizes. I think playtex did a few years back, but it didn't seem to take off. I have to say having worn this 34 the past few days (my 32 need washing) I prefer the 32 band. Now if they could just do an inbetween cup. Like a B 1/2

I wear those bra tops all the time to work out in at home. Not like we need much in the bounce protection department I also wear them under tees etc sometimes, so comfy!

Go you on the sensitive nipplage

Ugh, yes, that girl's mother in True Life is a troll. What a hag of a human. Her daughter is beautiful and I'm so glad she didn't give in to her mother's stupidity.

wow so much great stuff to read lately <3

Fake breasts are like fake fruit. They photograph well, look perfect (sometimes) but if you try to manipulate them, the magic is gone.

and not as juicy as the real ones:)

there was an american pie movie on tv last night (where they went to college- id never even heard of this partic sequel. prob cos it was pretty crap) and the whole film was literally one big long attempt to show as many girls boobs as they could, linked together with some kinda vague storyline. Buuut, i did notice quite a few of them were small boobies and in all different shapes & types too by movie standards. it's weird because even though I'd love for more varied breasts to pop up in the media like this and offten complain about it- I actually found it kinda strange seeing them and thinking they looked odd. I think it's because i'm so used to seeing the big round fake boobs that are usually in this sort of film (there were plenty of those too) that my brain got a little confused. btw, it wasn't the particular boobs that looked odd too me, just those particular boobs in that particular setting. Even though I know what 'normal' breasts look like I feel pretty brainwashed and can only imagine how confused young boys must be when they finally see some breasts on a real life girl. We're all being forced to believe that any girl who is remotely hot has boobs that look a certain way. Anywayy...I'm not a fan of those teenboy-type films either. It always just ends up being a boob-fest

someone said they'd never had a properly fitting bra- me neither! It depresses me a bit because by the time I've found something that fits acceptably I'm not left with much choice style-wise. I'd love to walk into a shop full of pretty lacy colourful sexy underwear and be able to just take my pick, sighh. Most of my bras are a 34a but are a little big and i only get away with it because the padding disguises any gaps. I couldnt wear an unpadded 34a- as much as I'd love too. I also have some 34aa's but if im towards the end of my monthly cycle they get slightly too tight and I end up with a mini version of that 'four boobs' problem you see with a lot of larger breasted ladies. and finally I have a few 32as- but they band digs in a little and i usually end up adjusting myself all day. So no size seems to work for me! argh. I often fantasize that I'd be one of those people who goes to a professional store and gets told I'm a 30b or some other obscure size and thats why I've had so much trouble. not gonna happen though, I've measured myself every way possible and tried all reasonable sizes

i was wearing a stretchy bra-top thing to work out (at home) the other day and totally thought I looked hot. I had nipple-age! something i usually miss out on due to all the padding, I can see why you all say how sexy it is. I even took a quick picture on my phone so I could look back for a boost on down days haha.
I then jumped around during my workout pain-free:)

I wish so many people wouldn't lurk in here! The people who pop out always add so much to the conversation and it's a shame to think all these people are hiding away and keeping their fab input to themselves. Even if they don't have much to say (although they usually do) it's nice to know there are more people out there who've shared similar experiences to me

Hey all, I remember hearing about the Shacole episode of "MTV True Life." I believe it's scripted (like most of MTV):

http://www.watchingmtv.com/parental-control-is-scripted/

Hey MTV, why don't you put me and my mom on the show? We have a better back-story. Now, I'm plenty sure that there are mothers out there who would say something like that, but her behavior (on camera) was too over-the-top for me. So OTT, it made me do a quick search. I'm sure MTV will kill anything it can like wildfire, but it makes you wonder.

Desperate Housewives is a terribly shallow show. It's funny to me, because if you google "fake vs real boobs" you're going to find an overwhelming response of men yelling "NOOO, DON'T DO IT. AAAHHHHH!!!" In fact, lets parse 'fake boobs' and 'real boobs.'

Fake: 318,000 results
Real: 3,090,000 results

Some notable quotes from THE INTERNET:
"I like natural ones...big or small."
"Absolutely ANY size real ones over any size with implants. The aesthetic is horrid, but even worse is the idea that a woman would mutilate her body like that. Complete dealbreaker for me."
"Hate to be judgmental, but I will be: fake ones are indicative of quite a few negative personality traits...."
"I don't care what size as long as there real. I like my boobs like I like my women, REAL....
"I love em all ... especially sensitive ones. *grin* They win, hands down."
"this is a really lame subject. shit, whatever makes the woman happy and therefore a better person to be around, thats what i like."
"...Only for re-constructive surgery."
"It's not about the breast size, it's about the person."
"small real over large purchased for sure"

I noticed more female avatars said "Yaayeee fake tits!" Than males. Fake breasts are like fake fruit. They photograph well, look perfect (sometimes) but if you try to manipulate them, the magic is gone. I'd rather stay the way I am, thankyouverymuch.

[chicaloca]

Especially the part where Eva Longoria's hubby tells Lynette he wants her to get her boobs done.

Yeah, the worst part is that he talks about her breasts like they're his property. I wonder if that is how men feel about breasts in real life, I hope not. I mean, thankfully, I haven't met any of that kind yet, so I guess I find that type of talk a bit shocking and really fictional. I can only hope it's just fictional.

Also wanted to say that after receiving so much support from all of you lately, I have honestly noticed a change in my behavior towards myself and really feel like I'm starting to come around. You all make me feel really good about looking this way and you definitely normalize it for me, which is something I desperately need. I haven't woken up hating my breasts in about 5 days or so, which is a lot for me! Never knew other people could help this much, but I guess they can *hugs *

I'm so glad to hear this. I haven't participated a lot, but I remember when you first joined the community, and it's amazing how you've been progressing. Yay buttercups!

[chicaloca]

Oh Lord, I would also slap that woman! I mean come on, putting pressure on her daughter like that. A very beautiful girl, by the way. So what if she can't "make the team"? Why can't her mother encourage her to have other priorities? Like getting good college education, or hell, if she wants to do something related to her looks, then encourage her to be a model, she has the body!

But the most awful part is when she says something like "She has no boobs, what is there to love?". Honestly, that woman should have never had kids, how awful of her to talk like that about her own daughter. I guess it's like what Issy said... that woman probably has some serious issues with herself that she has the need to exteriorize them by putting her daughter down like that.

And this:

Everyone in this episode of “True Life” referred to breasts as “boobs.” Every time, the entire time. Maybe if these women saw their breasts as part of their bodies, rather than ridiculously nicknamed accessories, they’d be happier with what they have naturally.

How true... as time has passed, it seems like every body part has become an accessory rather than part of the human body!

Oh, and about that magazine, ugh. I mean, they should send a more positive message on how to emphasize the perkiness, the shape. And I think deep V necks look damn well with small breasts! No busy high neck tops for me!

And about the American pie movies... I dislike them so much! Am I weird, lol? Again, I know it's supposed to be ligh hearted entertainment, but the humor is so crass sometimes. I don't really like that type of movies. I mean I just cringe at some supposedly funny jokes... and I remember watching that type of movies with my boyfriend and it's been awkward... I can't keep some thoughts to myself, and he thinks I need to lighten up... gah, men! Lol.

[spot-on]

Holy crap I wanna slap that girls mother! Seriously? Way to destroy your daughters self esteem (if she has any left). I think she has larger boobs that me, though it's hard to tell on the video, it says she's a 32A but she looks bigger than that IMO. Mother should have a brain transplant before the girl gets breast implants!

Reasons not to buy Lucky magazine! Seriously why are people obsessed with covering up these "flaws" they are what make us who we are, regardless of whatever the 'flaw'.

Can't comment on the desperate housewives thing, never watched it don't know who the people are, lol!

[karategrrl]

They implied that small breasts are a flaw! WTF??? Since when are small breasts a flaw? How stupid is that? Especially since it's a show geared towards women. I mean honestly, it made me really upset, especially since Felicity Huffman has a rockin' body as it is.

OMG, I also had a similar "WTF" moment this weekend, and I am pissed. In December's Lucky mag (USA), they had one of those features where they show what to wear for a certain body type. Okay, fair enough. But the piece was all about how to HIDE a small chest (yes, they used that word, along with "conceal," I think). They totally approached it like a FLAW and made no apologies about presenting it that way.

They covered this woman's chest with a busy, high-necked top, and dress with a big cowl neck, and something else which obviously was so unimpressive I do not remember. The only complimentary thing was about the dress--that from the waist down, it was fitted to show off the woman's nice figure. They even had a quote from the woman (of course, who knows if it is a real quote or not?) where she is complaining that she can't find any tops that aren't low-cut. (Gasp! The horror of not having enough cloth to HIDE those two AA-DEFECTS!!) The woman was totally cute (and I use that word in a complimentary way, not "cute" like a little girl).

Total WTF!! I don't try to HIDE my chest. I love V-necks. And hi-cut busyness is totally the WORST look for me. And wake the fuck up, world--small breasts are NOT a flaw to be covered up. I am writing them a complaint letter, which I hope they have the balls to publish.

Rant concluded.

Random musings:
1.
I want to slap this girl's mother. Her daughter is totally beautiful and incidentally has larger breasts than I. I guess her mom would say I am concave.

2.
I was looking (unsuccessful) for the Lucky mag feature online, so I could link to it, but found many other interesting things when I Googled "lucky small breasts." Some of it was really nice.

[buttercups]

Hey guys, just poppin in quick to see whats up, plenty of great stuff as always! Thanks Anarch, your posts are great and you're awesome too! : )

ASC, you rock, congrats for being you and accepting it! You are so much braver than I've been able to be yet and I am 100% cheering you on now! Sounds like we are pretty much the same size, and it inspires me to hear you tell the world to "take it or leave it!" bc that's what I'm looking to do too! I want so much to be like "if people don't like lookin at this than look the other way!" and I am like that inside, but you are helping me to bring it out! You should def start posting regularly, you make me want to take on the world, thanks!

Chicaloca that is so funny that you mention that episode, bc I've seen the exact same one and thought the exact same things not long ago! I was offended and it triggered me into a bad case of feeling bad about myself. Especially the part where Eva Longoria's hubby tells Lynette he wants her to get her boobs done. I'm like excuse me?? Eva Longoria is drop-dead gorgeous and wayy prettier than what he should be getting in real life or on a show! I think her body is perfect and it really pissed me off bc I look to her as one of my small boobie role models and there the show was with her average husband saying he wanted beautiful Eva to get implants! And yeah the part with Lynettes husband made me angry too in the same way. You're right it's really annoying that a show geared towards women pulls out such anti-women messages. Glad someone else notices these things too!

Also wanted to say that after receiving so much support from all of you lately, I have honestly noticed a change in my behavior towards myself and really feel like I'm starting to come around. You all make me feel really good about looking this way and you definitely normalize it for me, which is something I desperately need.

[spot-on]

and that's why we need more small women to stop having implants! The reason we're "flawed" is because we do shit to appease the media's portrayal of the "ideal woman". To quote Issy in her recent post

You DO NOT have the right to tell me how my body should look!

On a side note, we watched American Pie: Love book (or something, not sure of the title). Since when did all 17 yr old high school students have breast implants? Seriously! Almost EVERY damn actress on that movie had fake tits! I mean I get it, they are obviously all older than the part they are playing but DAMN! 17 year old tits do NOT look like that naturally! No wonder men have a distorted image of the female form!

[chicaloca]

Delurking...

Ok, living in Latin America and all, we're pretty late with American shows and all, so we are quite a few episodes late... and out of boredom I was watching Desperate Housewives (not that I'm a fan, but there was nothing else to watch). And in the episode I watched, Lynette (Felicity Huffman) was struggling because he breast size had increased due to pregnancy. Anyway, her husband was really happy about it, and so was her boss, her coworkers, etc. And she was puzzled as to why men are fascinated by large breasts, so she talks to her husband and he tells them that he loves big breasts. She asks him why did he marry her then? And he says that he isn't perfect, and therefore, needed her not to be perfect, he needed her to have a flaw.

They implied that small breasts are a flaw! WTF??? Since when are small breasts a flaw? How stupid is that? Especially since it's a show geared towards women. I mean honestly, it made me really upset, especially since Felicity Huffman has a rockin' body as it is.

Flaws have nothing to do with physical attributes! A flaw is being lazy, selfish, shallow, narrow-minded, short-tempered, a liar, manipulative, etc. NOT something that's genetic and has no impact on how you treat others! How dumb!

If big breasts = hot, then small breasts = hot, because BREASTS = HOT!!! It's that simple!!. Of course boobies are not just there to be hot, but they sure play a big part in sex, especially because they can give us really awesome sensations when handled right!

It makes me sick. Just like I was watching Two and a Half Men the other day and in that episode Charlie's fiancee wanted to get a breast reduction because of back pain. Charlie was desperate, trying to talk her out of it. Finally he manages to getr her to desist by telling her if she makes them smaller, then people will focus on her butt, and just because she doesn't want people to do so, she decides not to get the reduction. But well, that's a stupid show altogether.

I mean, I know it's just supposed to be light hearted entertainment, but why put down certain body parts? Maybe I'm too sensitive and take things too seriously. But still. I hate how these matters are treated in the media.

Anyway, rant over. I guess the message is still to just ignore whatever the media throws as gospel. But it still sucks that they give these messages that just because a certain body part is not of a certain size, then it's a flaw.

Relurks.

Re: underwire/padding - the verdict is out on this regarding whether or not it's bad for boobs or not. No scientific proof either way. Just an FYI

Headlights, Oh yeah I like the sensitivity but not my man looking my way every 2 secs going "are you cold? or...." lol!

So I've worn a "BRA" for the last couple of days, you know a proper bra, well fitting etc. I've covered myself in stuff the whole two days, and I mean covered my boobs lol! First it was dust off a dusty shelf when we moved a tv, total dusty boob area on my Tee. Then later with flour, then B noticed I had food down my top due to boobage. Seriously I don't have much as it is, I'd be a nightmare with big boobs and having to change clothes every hour or so! lol!

Hi ASC! I love that bralette in black! I might even order it online...

I having a similar bralette problem - mine are over the head, cami style, and it's so nice to not have hooks and straps digging in everywhere, but I feel the band isn't tight enough since it has to be stretchy enough to go over the head.. nothing's ever perfect, I guess. I need a nice, non-underwire, unpadded or lightly padded bra. That's all. why the hell does every single bra at la senza have to have underwire in it? who actually likes that? It's supposed to be bad for your boobs because it blocks some circulation or something (same goes for the push-ups, unfortunately)

OK, I know headlights can be a problem, but am I the only one here who loves wearing unlined bras because you're suddenly walking around with twice as much, um, sensitivity to the outside world? every time I accidentally brush my arm against my boob, or my jacket, or whatever, I'm reminded that I have these nice cute, sensitive nipples that have been hiding behind padding for way too long now.

Oooh if anyone has info on this I'd be interested too! I use the fruit of the loom ones for sports bra's sometimes, but headlight city if there is a slightest chill!

Great post ASC hope you post more often!

Has anyone found pretty bralettes that have slight padding - more than an extra fabric layer, but less than a molded cup? That seems like the ideal bra to me, something a lot of women would love, yet it feels like I'm asking for the stars when I see the options that are actually out there.

[ASC]

Hello ladies! I am a long time lurker who loves this forum. I posted once before, almost 2 years ago, asking for help finding small nursing bras. You ladies came through for me and I'm happy to report that I was able to get 3 bras that (mostly) fit and served me well.

My daughter recently weaned, just after her 2nd birthday, and, well, a combined 39 months of nursing 2 children has taken a toll on my little bobbies. It's not true that little boobs don't sag. They just start pointing up instead of down. I've never worn a properly fitting bra, since I just went with what I could find (cheaply) at big stores, and I decided that it was time to get a proper fitting bra. I'm 32 for goodness sake! Yesterday I went to Lula Lu, which I found through this forum. I was excited and nervous, since bra shopping always leads to tears. I was measured and had to face the reality that I'm acutually a 32AA. *sigh* It was nice shopping at a place where 1) they didn't look at me like I was abnormal when they discovered my size, 2) I wasn't directed to the childrens' area, and 3) they actually had things that fit me. Unfortunatley I still didn't find many bras that worked. I'm short (not quite 5' 1") so the straps on a couple were too long; some styles looked good initially, but made my boobs look squished in weird ways when I had a shirt on; I'm not comfortable having my nipples show, so I need some padding to prevent headlights, while on the other hand, I'm finally at a place where I'm ready to give up the padding I've always worn. Public opinion be damned, I'm not going to pretend I have something I don't when it just makes me uncomfortable and makes me feel like a fraud. I have a husband who loves me the way I am and have nursed 2 children - I shouldn't be ashamed of my little boobies!

That's me talking on a good day though. Buttercups, I could have written just about all of your posts, word for word. Though I haven't had quite as many people be so damn obnoxious and rude (& abusive, imo) to my face. Sometimes I think you're actually posting for me. I'm here silently cheering you on in your positive posts and sending you silent, empathetic hugs on your bad days. That really goes for all of you!

Anyway, the shopping experience was better than usual, and I didn't even cry until I was out of the store. I only found 1 bralette that I fet was good enough http://lulalu.com/search.asp?Mode=Product&...1&PageNum=2 It's amazing how different a bra that actually fits feels! This one will be good for my everyday life, running after kids, etc. but I'd really like to find something that looks more like a proper bra, and less like a tiny cami (this one goes over your head, which doesn't make me feel very grownup). I discovered that I really like bralettes (didn't think I would since I'm used to padding), so pretty! But, they were all too thin for the headlights. Has anyone found pretty bralettes that have slight padding - more than an extra fabric layer, but less than a molded cup? That seems like the ideal bra to me, something a lot of women would love, yet it feels like I'm asking for the stars when I see the options that are actually out there.

Big hugs to you all, to thank you for the support you've given me, without even knowing it. Maybe someday I'll start posting regularly....

[spot-on]

hahaha too funny, I'm going for a strapless bra soon. The one I have barely fits anymore, too loose in the band. I bought a few boob tube type tops that I need a decent strapless to contain and lift whilst the tops flatten. I am in the process of throwing out a load of older bras that not longer fit.

Can't really tell about that bra, but I know similar things that you mentioned happen to me when I'm laying down etc. the boobs shift in the cups. I wonder if this is a sign of the band being too big? It seems to happen more in my 34's than the 32's

any bigger boobed ladies got any advice?
