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!

"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

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!!!!

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.

My boobs are getting bigger again, now that I started taking the pill again! I hope it doesn't mean that I'm gaining weight, dang it. Boob size apart, I loove my boobs (34b or C, depending on the time of the month haha) the only thing that I dislike is that when I lay down to tan, they like get a little droopy on the side. I mean, argh I don't know how to say it! like when I lay down, I look as if I had a plain chest, because all the boob sort of "slides" to the side. Do you girlies understand what I'm saying? If so, is this normal? If you don't understand please say so so I can try to explain it better! (its 7am and my english sucks!)

[dj-bizmonkey]

I have had the exact same problem with with cupsize vs. band ratio thing, and I only just now figured out that a 34AA fits me way better. Before, I was trying nonpadded 34A's and finding the cups too big, but if I went to the 32 it just pinched into my skin way too much. I hardly ever wear bras anyway, but in the winter, I like to have something underneath my sweater that gives me shape. Even though they are expensive, Calvin Klein makes awesome nonpadded underwire bras for small-breasted hotties, like us. I personally don't like wearing a super padded bra, i don't want to try and be something i'm not, ya know? but i've found some great designer bras at outlet shops like marshals, tj-max and ross. despite all the other bullshit it propogates, high-fashion always has a place for women with small breasts.

i'm also feeling the waist to hip ratio thing. i'm so small on top, but my stomach is tiny and i have a huge ass. but i'd rather be disproportionate in that way rather than the opposite.

fuck victoria secret, however, their bras are so cheaply made/overpriced and i can NEVER find the right size for me. i've never tried ordering online, but even super stores like target have a better selection than vickies. i was shopping in victoria's secret once and i asked the saleswoman for an a-cup bra that didn't have padding. she looked totally surprised and said, 'i'm not sure we even make one like that, and besides, are you sure you don't want a bra with padding to give you some help?' Help? excuse me, saleslady, but i am perfectly happy with the body that has been bestowed upon me. jeez, i don't want their pity, i don't want to be something i'm not, i just want to be me, with a little lift under my sweater, is that too much to ask? thank you calvin klein, for at least allowing me to be myself in your underwear.

[edie52]

Yeah, I don't even bother with cup sizes. According to my measumements (34-27-37 on a good day) I'm an AA or less (because my band size is larger than my waist size, it's probably a 29- making me a 34 band, cuz you add 5, right?).

It's nice to hear about others with similar measurements. I like that even though I'm small on top I still have a girly waist-hip ratio.

I haven't tried the teen girl section in a while, but I'm not opposed to it. In the past few years all of my bras have come from either Urban Outfitters (which is kinda like shopping in the teen section) or Calvin Klein. Both make cute little triangle numbers that don't scream "training bra."

[karategrrl]

rosita - the problem might be that the cups are just in a different place than your breasts. in many bras the cups are very close to each other, and at least my breasts aren't. and since there's not that much to drag into the cups, the breasts kind of keep pulling the cups to the sides. i hope this makes some sense:)

Yes, SO true! Thanks for mentioning this--I thought I was the only one who ever noticed this!!! I have a lot of space between my boobs. After a lifetime of 34A's, I realized I'm better off with a 36 band size--the cups tend to be more widely spaced.

Rosita, I'd suggest trying to find a brand that fits you, and sticking with it. Manufacturers very WIDELY in their fits/designs. I mentioned this once before, but it bears repeating--I buy everyday bras in the teens girls section of Target. (Embarassing, but at least the bras are cheaper than the "grownup" ones!) You might try the teen section of your local store. I find these fit me better than any of the "Adult" A cups--I don't fill those up. The teen bras have just a tad of padding to give me shape, but not so much it looks like padding, ya know?

PS: Rosita, love your new song: "I want a girl with a long neck and a wide torso!" Can you write one for me titled, "Girls with long torsos, small boobs and short legs are hot!" ?

[lux]

i admit, i spend like an hour yesterday trying to figure out what my bra size is. i got cup sizes from AA to B. i'm quite sure i don't have a B-cup. confusig... but i did find out that i should stay away from 34 badwith. i don't really order anything online, so it's not that big of deal for me. now i'm trying to get courage to go underwear shopping. now that i've gone up in weight, and there's a slightly bigger chance finding a bra that fits. but i did find out where they sell princess tam-tam her. they have suchs pretty-pretty things!

rosita - the problem might be that the cups are just in a different place than your breasts. in many bras the cups are very close to each other, and atleast my breasts aren't. and since there's not that much to drag into the cups, the breasts kind of keep pulling the cups to the sides. i hope this makes some sense:)

hurray! for all the nice boyfriends, and you crino:)

[opheliathemuse]

hey rosita =)

I have very similar measurements! 29-32, depending upon my weight of the moment (I fluctuate a few lbs a lot!), 25, 34.

I too have always been confused about the whole bra measuring thing. I have always wanted to order off of figleaves.com, but I can't figure out what size I am! I know I've got to be a AA, but the number tends to elude me.

Crin, what a strange thing to have happen! Glad J is such a peach. =)

[rositachiquita58]

Hi to all my small-boobed sisters! I remember this thread from the old bust lounge...SO helpful! Glad to know it is still going strong.

DJ biz and knorl---SO right--and glad you mentioned that explanation cause I wouldn't have thought of it. Crinoline, congrats on having such an awesome boyfriend.


I have been having serious confusion over my body lately. I took my measurements yesterday and I'm 29-26-34...which to me seems incredibly weird. (I'm 4'10 1/2, so I'm not as skinny as it sounds). I have this fear that someday my waistline will be the same as my bustline---and it looks like it's coming true!! Also, I'm 23, so it's not a puberty issue.

Also I was on the Victoria's Secret website (I know, bad idea, right?) to find out how they do bra measurements. You measure around your ribcage, add 5 inches and that equals your Band Size. If your boob-circumference is 0 inches more than your band size than you're a AA...but mine is three inches LESS! What the f*ck does this mean?? Not only that, but I have a bra that makes a gap between itself and my chest, which is supposed to mean that your cups are *too small*.

Has anyone else had this experience? I feel like such a freak of nature...not only that but I play the violin and recently got some custom adjustments made to my instrument because my neck is so long.

It could be a new song: "I want a girl with a long neck and a wide torso!"...sigh...

[knorl05]

crino: that sucks. what a prick. seriously immature. objectifying you like that as though women are made to order. i agree with dj biz for sure. dude was just pissed and his ego was bruised times past when you shot him down. i've noticed they do that... "well she's not ALL that" as their protective mechanism when dealing with being rejected. and since they felt stupid they have like this vengence to do the same to us. idiots, the ones that react that way.. guys that i try to avoid at all costs.

[dj-bizmonkey]

Thanks for the story, crinoline. It sounds like that dingus,'K,' was just trying to find a way to jab at you because you probably rejected his advances in the past (and with good reason!) It also sounds like you've got a keeper and the fact that he came up with a perfect answer without batting an eye shows you that he actually believes what he says. Where does this guy get off thinking these men are some kind of minority? I think if you could poll the entire earth's population of men that the ass would win out over tits, hands down.

[crinoline]

Hey all!
I just got back from a few days at the beach with Crinoboy and friends. Last night, as we were walking along the beach, this guy K., who has hit on me many times in the past, and even commented on my breasts before, had this conversation with J. (Crinoboy). As I was standing beside them, mind you.

K: So tell me, J, are you among the minority of men who actually like small breasts?
J: Sure, small and perky are the best.
K: Yeah, man. Forever young. I dig that.

Ok, how is that an okay thing to say right in front of me? Firstly, he implied that Crinoboy could not possibly be really satisfied with my small breasts. And secondly, my private parts are not up for discussion! This convo really bothered me, and made me self conscious in a way I haven't been since high school.
Ugh.

I am proud of Crinoboy's immediate response, and he made sure to tell me later on how much he appreciates all of my body, just the way it is.

[lux]

haven't really talked to my girlfriend lately, she's been abroad because of work for over a week now. her beeing away makes it easier to focus on the compliments i get from others:) feeling a bit better, i'll se what she has to say to me, when i see her tomorrow.

i always find it very hard to see someones implants as a part of her body, the way "natural" breast are. i get this foreign object feeling from them. like wearing glasses.

[dj-bizmonkey]

oh, and i forgot to ask, lux, how are you feeling now? you hangin' in there? i'll check back in once i return from this round of the census.

[dj-bizmonkey]

oh paris, how the gross and disgusting have fallen.....more so. it makes me sad, even though she is far from a role model, she was quoted in maxim a few years back when she and nicky did a spread as saying, 'fake boobs are so stripper, i would never have surgery.' i'm not surprised she took the plunge, however.

we've kind of covered this before, but it's worth saying again, the kind of people who are attracted to gargantuan fake tits aren't exactly high up on the evolutionary scale, if ya know what i mean. i don't think we should be concerning ourselves with their opinions.

back to my question from before, can you guys think of any celebrity that is filled out and has small breasts? sometimes i feel like a freakazoid because of my figure, i've only met two other women in the world who have a body similar to mine, i know there have to more out there....

[karategrrl]

Hey, I forgot to mention, in this month's Glamour magazine (USA), there is a body image section with a quote from a guy who says he likes small breasts because they are "cute as buttons." Made me smile.

And ugh, it looks like Paris did the deed. I am SOOO disappointed. I never liked the girl, but (as long as she didn't open her mouth and try to actually SAY anything) I did think she showed just how beautiful and sexy SMALL could be. At least you can still find old pics of her.

[karategrrl]

there's a certain class of people who fawn over fake tits. they're superficial. is being superficial really the ideal? not in my opinion.. i value things like character and talent and intelligence and soul, but hey that's just me. having fake tits does not automatically lessen a woman's quality, but i do feel it brings attention to her body and may make it harder on her to get people to take her seriously.

I couldn't agree more! I personally cannot understand when people value quantity over quality. I once worked in a gym. It was a very unique place to work, rich with people-watching opportunities. There were quite a few women there with the obviously fake boobs, and the guys would just fawn all over them. One of the women, I will never forget, had a TERRIBLE job done. Her boobs looked swollen and rock-hard, and worst yet--one nipple pointed skyward while the other pointed to the left. How do I know this? She was showing them off in one of those thin Hanes "wife-beater"-type tank tops that was pretty much see-through. I was practically gagging, while -of course- all the men were gawking. Ick. I wouldn't want to feel a pair of fake boobs, or sleep with a guy with a fake penis. Gross.

[knorl05]

i know it lux. i hate hollywood bullshit.. but you are right, it is disappointing. like why bother, what does she need to prove? i cant help but wonder if these hollywood people do half of what they do simply for the power involved behind it. kna what i mean? not only will this bump her celebrity status up further, but there are also tons of people looking up to her questioning their own worth based on her actions. i think a lot of these hollywood types have a god complex.
