Yeah! I say do it! Throw that padding to the sky! Oh boy, that would've been a sight... if you'd actually done it right then and there.

[strongirl]

Woohoo!!!! Yay!!!

Do it, Karategrrl, put away the padded top and flaunt your sexy little titties in a skimpy, revealing one that amps up the sex vibe in the air around you and inspires other small-breasted hotties to do likewise! It'll make the world a better place.

[karategrrl]

I saw this unbelievably gorgeous teen girl in a bikini at the beach last night. The best was, she had tiny boobies and no padding in her top (while I had my mucho padding suit on!). I also noticed another good looking woman in a halter top--no bra--who was small as well. It was a proud moment! And I was so tempted to throw out my padded top!!

[karategrrl]

haha, love it
Im pretty sure it's possible after seeing this in the news boobs... although preferably minus the "increased cancer rates, partial facial paralysis, miscarriages, ear infections as well as depression, asthma, migraines and dizziness". Even so I'm sure they could come up with something if they tried hard enough

Let's all lay out in a crop field and get sprayed, ha. "Look, Farmer Brown, you planted corn but I grew boobs!"

[starship]

"Yes, ten grand will buy me a pair of fake boobs, but all the money in the world can't change the fact that you're a genuine asshole."

haha, love it
Glad you're feeling better about all this. I think I am too..or at least I've been thinking about it less, which can only be a good thing.

Note: This is where I find myself saying, "C'mon, scientists, we have iPods, pocket computers, vaccines against disease and pills that make men hard...where is the daily "add-a-cup size" pill? Or monthly injection to stimulate mammary gland growth?

i recently totally crushed out on a girl at wholefoods, she was tall, and very small breasted, and the nips were at full salute. she was wearing sweet high heeled mary janes and dressed like a sexy secretary. small breasted and oh. so. hott.

HOT. Thanks for sharing! One of the sexiest women I ever saw (also in Whole Foods!) was a woman with her head shaved. (Which so totally flies in the face of people who think women are only sexy w/long hair.)

I've been feeling much better about me and the whole breast issue, no small thanks due in part to all of you. It's been awesome to talk and think through all the thoughts I have on the issue. I agree with what knorl said about putting emphasis on your best features--this is what my focus has been lately. It's probably what consistently makes me feel better when I feel down about this (which has been less often).

BTW, I thought of a great comeback to anyone who suggests I get breast implants. Feel free to use it, ladies:

I've become a little bored of dwelling on my boobs

I think there is a difference between wishing for breast implants and wishing for naturally bigger boobs Vendetta. We all do things every day to push ourselves closer to our own ideals of beauty. Whether it be painting our faces, chopping off various bits of hair or eating certain foods. Most women do it as we all have an idea of what we'd like to look like. However the line has to be drawn when we start to feel the need to let someone cut open our chest and stuff in foreign objects- not to mention having to fork out our life savings for the pleasure. I don't see anything wrong with wishing your breasts were naturally bigger though. Its the same as wishing you had curly or straight hair and should be taken to similar levels of extreme and no more. For example, if you want straight hair- you straighten it.What you don't so is get a bloody scalp implant. I don't think I'm making my point very well but at least I know what I mean:/

I wouldn't want to be a girl with fake boobs. I see someone with implants and I can't help but imediately associate them with various stereotypes. I see a women proudly showing off her small breasts (not literally) and I can't help but assume she is a strong, interesting and intelligent women who I want to know more about. And before anyone jumps in- I'm not saying that women with big boobs look stupid/unrespectable/any other foolish assumption.

[purplestain]

Yes, I know, the problem is all of us wishing we were bigger. But I don't even want to be "big," just enough to make bra shopping easier.

This, as I'm sure all of you can attest to, is a major problem. Media stereotypes, the porn industry, advertising - they all try to dictate to us what looks Good and Normal, and they profit off it. But bra companies? When they ONLY offer products that conform to the popular image (e.g. super-padded small bras) and/or completely ignore the demographic of consumers that need products that actually FIT THEM... that's just bad business sense. There are enough of us out there to warrant our own special line of bras, our own unique marketing scheme. There are very few circumstances under which I would consider buying a $55 bra, but supporting a company like Itty Bitty Bra (and getting a cute bra that fits!!) is one of them.

It's so frustrating to go bra shopping in vain and wish that you could change to fit the bra; but in reality, designers should be changing the bra to fit you.

[neurotic.nelly]

mr nelly says, that boobs are boobs, so it's important that boobs are different cos' if all boobs were the same size that'd be boring. boobs are attached to bodies. the body is the substance or the vehicle for our consciousness or the spirit. so, if they are going to judge you based on your boobs than that main stream is polluted. do you wanna go fishing in toxic waters. your gonna get some six eyed fish or a pervy assed guys.

eta: we both support all small busties finding their way, whichever path they choose. i wanted to give you gals my guys perspective.

i think it has a lot to do with how we are told, as women, we are supposed to be "perfect", with perfect meaning this very specific ideal. sure, it may be primarily force fed to us in the mainstream, but because most people choose to swim in those waters, we've got to deal with their predictable response to our unique form. again, i dont want to be bigger for any other reason than to balance out my body. not to be more "normal" but just so that i wont be less than "normal". i can honestly say, with my friends, the people i choose to associate, they could give two shits how big my tits are.. the less perfect i am, the better - because i'm a real live human person, like karategrrl said. and i could care less how big my friends' tits are, because they truly are more beautiful the more unique they choose to look. so part of the reason i've not been in this thread is because my beliefs about boobies have pretty much been established already. i love others' perspectives and experiences with this issue, but i personally dont feel like putting any unnecessary attention to something that is not changing about myself. the only thing i can do now is simply accept myself as i am. small boobs, thick legs, unusual form and all. i've found that, for myself, less emphasis on the things i dont like about myself, and more emphasis on the things i do.. is the healthiest way to go.

much love and respect to my fellow busties.

[Vendetta]

That's what I was saying yep

[neurotic.nelly]

Sometimes, I have contradictory feelings. Once in a blue moon, I wish I were a little bigger. For the most part I am glad that I have small ones. I am soooo glad that when I wear a low cut shirt, I have no cleavage bc I do not like the attention that comes with it. I get enough attention for my sexy back and ass, but I do not have to see it as much because usually my back is turned.

crin, you made some excellent points. Main point, the messages that we all receive about being incomplete or not good enough. I say enough already. Unplug your mind and think for yourselves.

karategrrl, i love this..."I'm, um, human".

[karategrrl]

I don't think it's that people are against "wanting to be bigger", I think it's that people are against a society that MAKES us feel that way. A society in which it is normal and accepted for women with perfectly healthy breasts to undergo major surgery just to fit into some ridiculous ideal. I've discovered that that particular ideal is just not for me. No more than the ideals of being tall, tan, and thin are.

Thanks for backing me up, crinoline.

Yes, I know, the problem is all of us wishing we were bigger. But I don't even want to be "big," just enough to make bra shopping easier. I also wish I had narrower feet--it would open up my shoe possibilities in a huge way.

And I do see a difference between major surgery and something noninvasive--as we've discussed before, it's a matter of "how far are you willing to go?' there's a huge difference between dying one's hair, painting one's nails, exercising to lose weight, wearing certain clothes, wearing makeup....and MAJOR SURGERY.

I'm the first to admit I may sound hypocritical at times. Yes, I love myself the way I am, yes, I wish society were more accepting of all body types, including those with small breasts...yet, I am a product of my environment to some extent and, yes, I have my moods where I just wish I were bigger--just the same as some men might wish they were taller, some women might wish they had different color eyes, some people with disabilities might sometimes wish they did not. I'm, um, human.

I don't think it's really the same to become bigger through some hypothetical natural means as it is to get implants (and even if that was available, I'm not sure I'd do it- what would I say to my likely small-breasted daughters?). My father is a physician and he has told me that all breast implants require lifetime maintenance and repeat surgeries, no matter how advanced or if they're saline/silicone. It is still a foreign body implanted in your chest.

I don't even want big breasts, I just want to be allowed to accept my body as I am, without being (subliminally) told that I'm somehow incomplete.

[Vendetta]

What's the difference between wishing breast implants or wishing some "natural" method, besides risks? I know some women that never had problems with their implants, were said that they last forever these days unless some problem happens and have them for years and say it was the best thing they have done to themselves, cause these days, they don't think about their breasts anymore. In terms of "societal" stuff, to go bigger with "natural tissue" would be just the same as " I am wrong the way I am so I wish I was bigger" as it is in breast implants. We all wish we were bigger. Not having breast implants is an ideal we all have but ladies, the problem is to wish we were bigger. Not the breast implants itself. People do what they can do to feel better about themselves and at the time breast implants are the solution. The problem is why do we all wish we were bigger. Of course breast implanted girls wished they could be injected with natural breast tissue... as you do. Then being "implanted with natural breast tissue" would be as wrong as it is to be implanted with silicone, they would still be fake. We want natural solutions to our "problem" but there are never going to be any, they'll always be fake, never yours truly. Are you against "wanting to be bigger" or against " breast implants"?

[little kat]

Ah Karategrrl I loved your post, thank you so much, wow it really feels good to talk to people that feel the same way as I do. Maybe we could create a new street and if we all lived in it then us small girls would be the norm lol.
Your views on surgery are exactly the same as me and you have just made me even more determined not to do it, I guess it always looks like roses but like you say I bet the majority of those women have problems with their implants at one time or another but they're not going to go round shouting it from the rooftops are they cause then everyone will say 'I told you so'. Maybe one day those scientists will come up trumps for us.
And yeah I do try to say to myself that some of those women could be wearing a hefty padded bra like I do!

[karategrrl]

I'm sure this topic has been done on here but how many of you have considered surgery? Why am I so jealous when I meet someone who's had a boob job when if I really wanted to I could do it too - I just don't want to. I don't want fake ones - I'd know they were fake and so would everyone else not to mention the risks but when I see how happy people are with the results I get so jealous and wish I had the balls or stupidity to do it. ...I am so fed up of looking like a boy and starting at other women and wishing...
Do you know the other day I went for a walk with my son and I thought I'd play a little game in my head and count all the woman that were as small as me and do you know what - not one person had a small chest - everyone in the world is normal except for ME! Why did God make me this way? It's not fair and yes I know I sound self pitying and I'm sorry for being such a moaner but I really need to get all this anger off my small little chest :-(

Ahhhh yes, I know only too well exactly what you are saying. Yes, when I see others with fake boobs I, too, must deal with my conflicting emotions:

1. Disdain for the procedure and the fact that altering one's body so drastically to fit some idiotic "ideal" has become so unbelievably mainstream and acceptable.

2. Being jealous and wishing I could be dumb enough to do it. After all, then I'd have bigger breasts, even if they were fake! After all, having fake breasts is now so very mainstream and acceptable!

3. Longing for some safer, less risky procedure whereas I'd have larger--yet REAL breasts. (I don't want bigger fake ones, I want bigger REAL ones--with my own tissue, not foreign bodies.)

Note: This is where I find myself saying, "C'mon, scientists, we have iPods, pocket computers, vaccines against disease and pills that make men hard...where is the daily "add-a-cup size" pill? Or monthly injection to stimulate mammary gland growth?

4. Etc. etc. etc.

Remember, little kat, that yes, many women are happy with the results, but for how long? Eventually, EVERY set of implants must be replaced. Actually, about every ten years. So, one is guaranteed tons of pain, more scars and surgery at least a few times in her life--and that is assuming all goes well and no corrective surgery is needed. (Just a side--both women I've known who had it done needed corrective surgery.) Also, one must wait several months after the procedure for the implants to "fall" and look more natural and less like softballs glued to a wall. AND the implants must be massaged EVERY DAY FOR LIFE to help prevent capsular contraction (which could very well happen anyway). Being happy with the results also means dealing with all that, and I think that's a lot.

And yes, I do feel your pain too with walking down the street and noting not one other small-breasted woman. Then again, don't assume all those women you see are natural!

Go ahead and moan away, hon. This is the place!


"get all this anger off my small little chest"

I am NOT making fun of you, but that was a cute comment!

[little kat]

Meant to say thanks for the welcome and Vendetta I too remember many years ago when I first met my husband that he wished they were a little bigger and boy don't I just love to remind him of that now so when he tells me I'm fine the way I am I know he's lying. My hubby can't even grab anything - I am literally like an ironing board. I wonder if I could just have 100 babies so I could permanently have boobs

[little kat]

Hi all
Ah God I am feeling so depressed, just been trying my tankini on for my hols and I look terrible in it. How many minutes a day do I spend obsessing about my body - ALOT! It's not healthy..what is wrong with me? Why can't I just be thankful for what I have, I'm healthy, my family is healthy, I have a beautiful baby - I should be happy.

I'm not even an AA cup! Honestly I look awful - especially after having a baby where they ballooned to a huge D cup and now there is even less than what I started with and they have gone south too. I am so fed up of looking like a boy and starting at other women and wishing...

So there we are, being intimate, and he is paying way more attention to my boobies than he has ever had before. Probably because we talked about it a few days ago. And he's grabing and grabing and I change my position so that he can grab a little bit more, my boobie is slipping from his hand and he keeps trying. My skin is turning red and I'm kinda hurt but too ashamed to say anything, so he grabs my two boobies in one hand and I feel even worse. Both of them fit perfectly in just one of his hands. But then he hurts me even more and I have to ask him to be more careful with them, so he goes back to just one boobie that keeps slipping away from his hand, constantly. He comes. I look in the closet mirror and I still don't recognize my reflection anymore.

I can't force him to love' em. He says he loves them, that I'm perfect but he has once wished I was bigger. So he can't convince me that he doesn't anymore. I know that when there is love, those things don't matter. But I've seen his eyes glow with a glance at a big chest. His eyes never did that with mine and never will. I guess I'm just gonna have to learn to live with that.
