Help - I am obsessed with my small breasts...

[LittleDorrit]

Not sure if this belongs on here, or on style and beauty.
Basically I guess I am just looking for some opinions/advice...
I am just really obssessed by the fact that my breasts are too small and keep thinking that if only I had cosmetic surgery to make them bigger I would feel so much happier about myself. I am quite petite and before having a baby I was a small 32B but was reasonbly happy with that - I would have preferred to be bigger, but it was never an issue for me. But post pregnancy I have gone down to 32A and I feel that no man could ever find me attractive because of the size of my breasts. I did think about having surgery, but I know that there are risks associated with it, and complications, etc. so that puts me off - I guess I am concerned that if I go ahead I might regret it. I made a decision a few weeks ago to just forget about the surgery and focus on my "good bits", but it just keeps bugging me. What do you think??

LOL MP at the priest story!!! And at the tummy-bigger-than-boobs! Recognition on both fronts - our old Parish priest was quite pervy don't think he's been de-frocked yet though...

Was v disappointed with pregnancy and b-feeding - that I only went up to a B cup. And they're now virtually concave since finishing b-feeding.

I used to always wear padding etc but am now embracing my flatness - there's so much pressure to be super skinny with big plastic boobs - and why? Most, decent, men aren't into that at all. I'm much happier knowing my DP loves me for me and not just my mammaries! I remember being in pubs with big-chested friends and not being able to believe the amount of men that would talk straight to their boobs - I've never had that thankfully!

I am tandem feeding and still almost norkless.

what a party!

[BananaSkin]

Me too. Too ashamed to admit my actual size on here! I'm still breastfeeding and love it as it gives me the boobs I'd otherwise not have. Tempted to carry on expressing for the next 10 years or so actually

[morningpaper]

I seem to recall that were at a mutual friend's ordination

the wine was flowing

and the newly-ordained priest was shouting "Celibacy? Shit! I thought it was a vow of celebrity!"

how we laughed

[SheWhoBlushedTwice]

I cant for the life of me imagine discussing my norks (hairy or not) with my vicar. Must be down to type of vicar.

[BroccoliSpears]

Erm... so if I'm an F, my belly should probably be smaller than my boobs, you say?

[pointydog]

I would be very unsettled if I found myself in that situation. You sound so blase and cosmopolitan about it

[morningpaper]

I can't quite remember how they came up

It wasn't in the confessional or anything

[pointydog]

mp, why were you talking to a priest about your breasts? How did they come up?

[berolina]

I love my so-small-I-never-wear-a-bra norks. I find they disappear completely under wrap dresses, which then look rather odd, but that's the only downside.

LOL in recognition, though, at 'It's so annoying when your belly sticks out further than your chest'

[SheWhoBlushedTwice]

I think you should be pleased with your chest. It sounds delightful.

[themildmannneredjanitor]

i am a 36h and trust me-big boobs can be a bloody nightmare!
i would love to be an a cup. to be able to go braless! bliss!
to able to wear round neck t-shirts without looking about 5o!

at least if they are small you can wear a padded bra or stick chicken fillets in!

Did the pen run out?

[morningpaper]

there was a generous amount of boobage to be signed, IIRC

[BreeVanderCampLGJ]

MorningPaper autographed my boob at the Christmas party.

[morningpaper]

I hve a big array of fabulous padded and wired miracle-bras

I would spend money on that first

[Hannah81]

My boobs are lopsided! I BF DS1 for 15mths but only on my left side, so that one is considerably bigger than the other, but so what - I fed my DS for 15mths! I'm now feeding my DS2 who is 11wks old.

For me, breasts are for feeding babies - big small, lopsided (mine), pert (many moons ago now), gravitationally influenced (mine)! They provide a very important service and even though they are mishapen now, I'd never do anything to them, I'm proud of them for what they've done for me. I wish others could feel like this, I am truly blessed.

I do hate that people oversexualise them - and maybe reducing this will help women feel happier about what they have.

My thoughts are with you, but try to love them for what they are - it's a lot cheaper and a lot less painful!

[lazaroulovesleggings]

I used to wear a padded bra and then one of the padded bits came out and the bloke I was talking to said 'What's that?'

[LittleDorrit]

Thank you ladies - you have made me feel much better ! I guess I just needed some moral support and confirmation that going under the knife might not be the answer.
I will start doing some pilates to tone all my other bits and, as Orinoco suggested, get some nice and well fitting bras.

[morningpaper]

I wear PADDING

the only trouble is that you have to have a lot of padding at both top and bottom, otherwise you end up with a shelf effect where your bra stops and nothing starts....

[cheesesarnie]

id feel silly going to be fitted for a bra with nothing there.

[LittleDorrit]

I like to have a slightly padded bra, but not too much, so that I don't feel like I am being dishonest with everyone !
