To think that the West is seriously fucked up on the bosom front?

[Hullygully]

Bags of poison sewn into our infant feeding parts.

How fucked up is that?

I am chilled katy just found your post rather funny...

that's good lol... think I may have pissed off entropyglitter tho :S

Oh good grief no! I am not annoyed at all....see I look like this :)
When I am annoyed I look like this

Im just pointing out that wanting to feel 'feminine' is a bad idea when the concept of 'feminine' is not only a rapidly moving goal post but determined by popular consensus and the media...

I dont think there is any difference between saying I want to have bigger boobs so men will find me more attractive and saying I want bigger boobs so I feel more 'feminine'.

Its just a way of rationalizing your desire as being for yourself rather than being imposed from outside peer pressure....but we will not be fooled ooooh no.

I also happen to agree with entropy in "I dont think there is any difference between saying I want to have bigger boobs so men will find me more attractive and saying I want bigger boobs so I feel more 'feminine'. "

other non-feminine traits are: being intelligent, out spoken, spirited and liking sport. Or at least they were in the Austen era......

I didn't feel less feminine with small boobs...in fact, I have no idea what feeling feminine is. I just feel like me.

We all express ourselves in different ways with different language. We need to remember that too.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Om Shanti

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its the pornification of women. False this and that. Devoids us of personality and intelligence.

And we save to pay for it! Bee-zarro!

I am a B cup and have no envy at all of anyone with bigger boobs - they would just weigh me down and get in the way.

I am very sad to live in a society where so many women aspire to having fake boobs.

I can understand reductions though.

Your nickname is very ironic here Ciccolina :)

I have breast implants and love my breasts. DH prefers smaller breasts but I am very happy.

My breasts were very small, an AA cup if that and I always wanted breasts, I love the way they look and they way they feel. I don't think this makes me any 'less' of a woman.

I'm a D cup now by the way

In response to an earlier question no it has not affected my ability to breastfeed and if there had been a chance it would I would not have had them. I've breastfed three children with no problems at all and am still breastfeeding DS3.

As far as I know no one has intentionaly had poisinous sacks sewn into their chest, and as for PIP's (which I have) there is no evidence that the silicone is poisinous.

I dunno Potter, I suppose I just want to ask why did you want them done really?

Like I said, I wanted breasts. My mother and Grandmothers all has large breasts and I felt quite 'boyish'. I assumed they would eventually develop but never did. I love the way full breasts look and feel, soft and curvy, I never wanted to look like I had implants, I just wanted breasts. That was 8 years ago and I still love them.

I have minature boobs too. To add insult to injury, one of them was removed and I was offered a replacement because the operation was basically disfiguring... so... I have a rubber tit. Had I been older at diagnosis, I may have decided it was too much. I would not normally have chosen a major operation to alter a functioning body.

I really hate the way women are still being vilified & judged for choices they have made about their own bodies. I love my breasts, I don't care if they are part silicone so why should anyone else?

Im not some idiot who's life's ambition is to look like a Barbie doll and I thin kit is utterly ignorant to assume the majority of women who have had breast augmentation are. It really boils my piss, if you'll excuse the phrase.

I had a mastectomy. It does give you a different view of boobs. I think these women are very feminine. Damaged perhaps, but definitely beautiful.

Me too Trice - the Scar Project is brilliant.

potter, am with you. I had mine done last year having bf 2 children for over a year each. I was small beforehand, but completely flat chested after bf. I loved bf but hated how I looked afterwards. I have no regrets about having surgery, I don't have PIP ones and did a lot of research into the surgeon and type used, and I had them put in under the muscle so that I would be able to bf again, which I intend to. I can honestly say that for me it was the right decision - like potter, I am no Barbie doll and I don't think you would be able to tell they are not real - I went from an AA to a C cup so hardly massive, but I am really happy with them.

Thank you for that link trice. I don't think I would have dared to wear nipple tassles had I not got a rubber boob! It's a bit lumpy as it's meant to have more than 25ml saline, and it can go up to 250ml. It's quite entertaining to see your front rise and fall!

@ katykuns "having virtually no boobs makes you feel less feminine"

What a ridiculous comment.
I have have no boobs at all (following bilateral mastectomy) and I can assure you that I feel just as female as I always did.

I don't normally comment when I haven't read a whole thread but I can't do 16 pages

I was always pretty flat chested 34A/32B and it never bothered me and I carried it off as I have always been fairly slim.

When I was pregnant I loved my boobs, I went up to a D cup and I felt much more confident in my self in clothes especially. I Breastfed my twins for 12.5 months but hate them now, they are too small to be saggy, probably an A cup but are like jelly in texture, and I would love a boob job. I'm back to a size 10 but my stomach isn't flat anymore and I can't wear tight clothes as my stomach sticks out more than my boobs!

Wow, Trice - that site is really fabulous - what great photos, thanks.
