To be sick off getting crumbs down my top!

bethcutler13 · 14/08/2014 14:02

Please, does anyone else suffer from this? Everytime I eat anything remotely crumbly I end up with most of it stuck down my bra. It's pretty embarrassing going out for coffee and having the choice of sitting there with crumbs of cake wedged in between my boobs or stand up and shake the crumbs out which being a bigger busted girl usually involves lifting my boobs up and sweeping the crumbs from underneath.
My dp is used to the post biscuit procedure, poor guy but im starting to feel like a bit of a crazy person. Anyone else been here ??

You have the choice! Stop eating cake or wear turtle necks! (Or a bib)

bethcutler13 · 14/08/2014 14:05

Bib every time

Nope unless you're 5Grin

kinkyfuckery · 14/08/2014 14:10

Yup, me too! I just try to ignore it at best. AT worst, I'll just scoop them out Blush

farewellfigure · 14/08/2014 14:12

Happens all the time. And it's so itchy if you can't hoik them out (the crumbs not the boobs).

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 14/08/2014 14:13

Same here. I refuse to stop eating cake. Grin

My co-worker walked in on me fishing bacon crumbs (BLT for lunch) out of my bra cup yesterday. Maybe I do need a bib...

Yes- Sometimes I'm pretty sure my boobs eat more than I do.

bethcutler13 · 14/08/2014 14:18

Definitely wearing the wrong size cup... Pretty sure my left boob is a whole different cup size to the right but that's another thread!

Lean forward, and small forkfuls? Not ideal but less danger Grin

MyFairyKing · 14/08/2014 14:58

I've been eating a lot of ryvita crackerbreads. They are a right bastard for boob crumbs. I try to be healthy and end up with half my breakfast in my bra!

ADHDNoodles · 14/08/2014 15:58

I feel like my boobs are a crumb tray sometimes. Blush

loudarts · 14/08/2014 16:13

So pleased it's not just me who gets crumbs down there

WeirdCatLady · 14/08/2014 16:18

I dropped a whole meatball down my cleavage once. In the middle of chiquitos. Blush

Dh was happy to help fish it out, in between his hysterical laughter. bastard

Is it a big boob problem?

Maybe in smaller breasted women the mouth 'juts' out further than the boobs, so crumbs fall to the lap/table/floor, while in larger breasted women the boobs 'jut' out further than the mouth, and so act as a natural crumb catcher.

bethcutler13 · 14/08/2014 16:48

Good point about the big boob thing. Makes sense.
Glad to hear I'm not the only one

Can't you pop to the toilet and do your post cake de-crumb routine in private?

bethcutler13 · 14/08/2014 17:05

Yes, it's just a bit uncomfortable sitting there with the crumbs in my bra before hand. Probably easier to invest in a bib

NuggetofPurestGreen · 14/08/2014 17:06

YES! very annoying. And I can't wear turtlenecks they make my boobs look even gianter!

NuggetofPurestGreen · 14/08/2014 17:07

Although since I got bra intervened it's more down my top than in my bra Grin. There's a reason to do it OP.

ohmymimi · 14/08/2014 19:06

This is a fullsome embonpointe problem. I suffer too, now I'm a 38D; never happened when I was a 32AA, the only reason I fished around in my bra then was to locate my boobs. What we need are those modesty panel thingies my Great Gran wore to disguise her cleavage. I make one out of a bit of kitchen paper when I'm eating crumbly (or dribbly) stuff at home. -Classy--

ChessieFL · 14/08/2014 19:31

This never happens to me and I'm 34GG!!

WitchWay · 14/08/2014 19:34

Hold the plate under your chin or stuff it all in in one mouthful
