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

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....

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 have dyspraxia and wear a teatowel at home!
I am always finding crumbs in my bras.

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.

Lol....bet you never fart either

ticktickticktickBOOM · 29/05/2024 01:32

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

A question clearly from someone who doesn't have large boobs. 😆 I hear ya @ItsAnAbsoluteCasseroleDownThere although I rarely do it. (Drop food on my boobs!) I eat at the dining table now with DH. Rarely happens now.

Or have a poo in public, (or in the house when her DH is at home.) 😆

How you know someone hasn't got J cup boobs without actually knowing the person 😂

Try a minimiser bra.

They don't make minimiser bras in the sizes required by people who actually need minimiser bras! It's a bloody miracle if I can find any bra!

I always spill stuff down my front. The kids always laugh at me. It's when I undress at night and find crumbs in my cleavage that I know there is no hope.

Bringbackspring · 29/05/2024 10:20

My Mum and DSis every single meal! They are both quite buxom

Not gonna lie, I have taken my bra off at night a few times, and squashed melted chocolate is drying out against my nipple! 😬 I even discovered a smartie in my bra once. Also, discovered a tic tac in my undercrackers. Don't ask.

I'm @LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway I'm disgusting. Sad

(Quote from an episode of Friends.)

nb it doesn't happen often. 2-3 times a year. I don't need to live on a farm, and I don't have anything wrong with me! Shock

Mairzydotes · 29/05/2024 10:27

I'm exactly the same. I can't even have a drink without it slopping. I put a t-shirt/ sweatshirt on at home , which I suppose is more modern than wearing a housecoat.

I don't think my bust is that large , so that's not the reason. Sometimes food falls in my lap.

BingoMarieHeeler · 29/05/2024 10:28

I’m always spilling food down myself and I don’t even have big norks.

FizzyStream · 29/05/2024 10:32

Yep. And soil weirdly.
I am large of nork and was gardening when it was sunny millennia ago and found loads of soil in my bra Confused

msbevvy · 29/05/2024 10:35

This is why I wear an apron indoors when I eat, even if I haven't bothered wearing one for cooking.

Edited

I did ask the same question myself TBH.

I do have pretty big but not epic boobs - 34FF/G - but I just don't tend to drop or spill food other than back onto my plate? I.e. I don't tend to have food land in my lap or on the floor either. Maybe it's a technique thing but I've never really stopped to analyse why. DP always ends up wearing his meals.

Seeline · 29/05/2024 10:40

Even if I sit right up to the table, my boobs stick out a further 10cm or so. The plate therefore has to be at a fair distance away. And there is nowhere for anything falling/dripping off my fork to go other than on my boob-shelf. To be fair it is sauces, gravy etc dripping, or actual crumbs from biscuits/crackers etc that cause the main problems.

I have even considered getting one of these for when I eat out.

A pretty silver chain? Smile Was that the correct image?

msbevvy · 29/05/2024 10:52

In the plus side, if I am sitting eating in an armchair without a table my boobs can act as a handy shelf in which to rest my plate!

kolopolo · 29/05/2024 10:52

yes to this and especially annoying is toothpaste after cleaning teeth!

Yes, it is a chain that you hang round your neck and clip the napkin to it to act like a bib

It's to clip to the corners of a napkin. You then put the chain round your neck, and the napkin covers the vulnerable area 😁

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 29/05/2024 10:56

Food medals 🤣

Ihopeithinkiknow · 29/05/2024 10:56

Sometimes a weeks worth of shopping falls out when I take my bra off at night 😂 as for the poster asking why don't you just lean forwards 😂 and put my baps where exactly?

ssd · 29/05/2024 11:19

Im the same op. I never sit at the table either. I sit in front of the tv then feel stupid if something spills on me.

FairIsleCromartyForties · 29/05/2024 11:27

For me, getting food from plate/bowl is like trying to complete one of these. And failing. Every time.

Just to add, that's not the actual shape of my boobs and I don't have four.....

Please tell me I'm not the only one who keeps spilling food on my boobs
Polominty · 29/05/2024 11:42

Brushing my teeth is the worst I have to lean so far forward to avoid getting toothpaste/dribble on my frontage that I’m surprised the weight of my enormous boobs don’t tip me right over.
We have pasta bowls and plates in our house, DH always eats off a plate I always use a bowl, DH does most of the cooking and even plates it up that way now.
If we fancy a treat we get a takeaway rather than eating out as at least no one else sees the state I can get myself in.
Minimiser bras, if you can get them big enough, make us large of breast women look like we should be playing matron in a Carry On film, no discernible breasts at all just one massive bolster type shape.
