Please tell me I'm not the only one who keeps spilling food on my boobs

[ItsAnAbsoluteCasseroleDownThere]

I am rather buxom and my eye sight is not as good as it was. That's my excuse anyway. But I am always dropping food on my boobs. I guess because of their size they get in the way between my mouth and my plate when food drops but it's so tiresome! My sink seems to permanently be full of tops soaking to prevent them from staining 😩
Please tell me it's not just me....

Well I can honestly say I've never spilled food on your boobs? 👀

🤣🤣

But use Vanish gel, it's amazing and cuts out the need to soak clothes.

It’s a thing.

Me too! Napkins on my lap are a waste, it should be socially acceptable to put them on boobs.

Absolutely no way food is making it to a napkin placed politely across my lap. The grand Tetons are blocking the route.

when I am home alone, I’ve been known to place a napkin a bit more strategically in order to protect my clothing.

Have you considered specsavers OP???

I'm very large of bust but never drop food! Do you have a tremor or other medical issue meaning the fork can't get from plate to mouth without being tipped?

Use an adult bib at home and get closer to your plate if eating out. Try a minimiser bra.

There's always a squirt of Vanish before the soak. I do miss Biotex though, can you still get it?

If only I was a fashion designer. We would have pockets in everything and a fashion napkin around our necks.

You could not water board this information out of me irl.

I BF all my children until at least 1.
Past 6 months I could be BF them while I was eating and more than once they would come off the milk to eat what had appeared on my boob.....I eas some messed up all you could eat buffet.

All the time , so much that my teenage children and husband thought it was funny to buy me a bib for Christmas. A full on adult bib like you'd give to an elderly person . I was not amused and it hasn't been used! I try not to but always happens. I just sponge it off with a bit of washing up liquid if it is greasy.

All the time! Always get something greasy on there too! Went out for dinner in a new white shirt (I never wear white shirts for this reason) and had to wear my jacket done up over it! 😁

Today I wore it again and ate out but thought fuck it. I put my napkin over my chest area and looked like a toddler!

I always eat with a cardigan on at work, do I can remove it for the afternoon and still look presentable.

Yep. Large napkins or a large handkerchief has saved many tops. Even been known to wear a cleaners tabard not just for cleaning…in the privacy of my own home. The ‘G’ in my bra size must stand for gravitational force.

I completely agree and so do my many ruined tops. It's so hard to be elegant with bits of food on your books!

why can't you just lean forward and eat over your plate like the rest of us?

OP, your post resonated with me as this happens to me at home frequently but most definitely whenever we went out for a meal, to the point where I started to feel uncomfortable about going anywhere for that reason. Those paper table napkins they provide are useless, way too small and far too thin to serve any practical purpose. So, I bought some large cotton/linen napkins in lovely neutral colours and got myself a set of these from Amazon. If you scroll down the page you'll see they also come in stainless steel with coloured stones on the clips.

It's worth keeping in mind that no one in any restaurant you go to would know whether or not you have a disability or a simple hand tremor so wouldn't judge you for wearing a napkin to cover your chest (I used to take a second one and just lay that across my lap to protect my skirt or trousers too). On more than one occasion I was delighted to see other ladies wearing similar at their tables!

You can buy whatever colour napkins that most closely matches the clothing you favour when going out so that they blend with your outfit, and just wash them when you get home. Packs are great value and you'll always have some available if others are in the wash. Hope that helps.

Amazon UK offers these mixed colours cotton napkins with £5 voucher off at the moment. Mine have been fine and on a few occasions female visitors invited for lunch have asked if I have a 'spare' that they could use so now in addition to large plain white extra thick 'luxury' paper napkins - posh washroom hand-drying napkins really 😁being on the table - I put out a extra cotton one with a set of clips so my guest can choose to use just the cotton napkin or the clips as well. Almost always they use the clips with the napkin! And these are not all women as generously endowed as myself, so I think its just that boobs often just get in the way and we women simply want to protect out clothing.

Hope this helps.

The only way I avoid this happening is when I eat from a bowl held under my chin.

Because one of two things can happen - 1) the plate is too far away if you are short in stature but large of boob, or 2) you end up double dipping your food (iykyk).

Only on EVERYTHING ever wear!!! Unfortunately when it comes to washing clothes I sometimes forget about stains (how????) and of course when I get to wear it again, there it is!!

I need a pelican bib!

I have this problem and cannot even blame massive boobs ,I am clumsy.
If at home on my own ,i always stick a tea towel under my chin if sitting on sofa and eating!!
If at table I regularly tip something on clothes ….so embarrassing. Along with other symptoms I am seriously thinking I have dyspraxic traits.

I'm the same, just absurdly clumsy. I also have a lot of trouble carrying any kind of drink without spilling a bit. I've always been like it!

Always. I wear a dressing gown at home and it's always covered in food.
One of my most embarrassing moments was going to the loo after seeing the doctor and catching sight of myself in the mirror. I had three baked beans stuck to my hair 😅

MIL is that you?? You need to get vanish soap bar that will get the stains off your tops :)

Hypermobile joints here. It's a great day if there isn't food or coffee over me by the end of the day.

Only way to ensure there isn't to have a rice bowl in my more crap hand and fork in the less crap one.
