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

Same again about crumbs in bra and I always get bloody food round my mouth particularly marmite 😉Pretty sure I am dyspraxic because of other traits ad well!
Fine motor skills non existent and absolutely no spacial awareness!

Nope, I used to work in a place where the other team members called me "spunky" because I always had some blob of yogurt, toothpaste, porridge on my boob most mornings. I wear a literal bib in the am now as I am never awake enough to avoid these kinds of spills.

You could wear adult bibs. I use them on 16year old DD, some really nice ones out there, many don't even look like a bib.

It's not just you. I'm left tit, every time.

chindooly · 29/05/2024 12:12

Also I have dyspraxia, which is a handy thing to blame my spills on, get the bibs!

Pieceofpurplesky · 29/05/2024 13:02

Another dyspraxic here ... it's a thing. Add big boobs and we're buggered.

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

….poo in public …?
I don’t know anyone who’s poo’d in public!

I am not bothered about what I look like so I just tuck my napkin into my top when eating at a restaurant and use a towel at home. If the paper napkins are cheap and flimsy ( my favourite Indian restaurant, I’m looking at you!) I just ask for extra napkins.

Its a problem if I am wearing something with no collar or lowish neckline but then I hold the napkin up to my neck when I lift up my fork.

I might buy some of the cloth napkins an earlier poster has linked to and just pop one into my bag. I’m not sure about the napkin chains though, for some reason that seems a bit over the top to me but a scraggy napkin tucked into my blouse probably looks worse.

No one has ever commented or laughed at me - either very polite or just not bothered!

Ihateslugs · 29/05/2024 14:08

Right, just ordered napkins and a set of clips from Amazon! They somehow snuck into my basket when I wasn’t looking! ( I’m too mean to pay for postage or Prime so usually have a few items in the basket waiting to get enough to qualify for free postage)

I went for very unsubtle clips, not a jewel in sight, they look more like the cord ones used to secure your specs, and are adjustable in length so I can use them for my granddaughter as well. Im nor sure when I’ll be bold enough to wear them in public but I’ll take them with me and see!

MrsCarson · 29/05/2024 14:14

Clumsy me!
I spill on my boobs too. But not really that buxom.
Sadly Dh is notorious for this and has no boobs. He says maybe we should buy adult bibs.

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?

In the spag bol, of course, as one of my DDs once did...

I wear a scarf. Especially on holiday, when you can't wash things

Kilroywashere · 25/09/2024 00:25

You are in good company - I remember an interview with Princess Diana where she joked about how worried she was at formal banquets that she would drip soup down the front of her evening gowns when trying to eat it!

CherryogDog · 29/05/2024 09:56

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 😅

I did something similar. I had an errand to run at lunchtime and had a bit of a flirt in a shop. When I got back to the office I had a lump of cheese on my cheek.

I should have shares in vanish.

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

🤣🤣

😂😂😂 that reminds me of something I saw on tictoc... a guy is talking to a woman and says 'a woman who sleeps with 10 men would be called a slut - what would you call a man who did the same though' .... woman says 'probably gay'
