Enhance them without paying for surgery as I can't afford it

They were bigger before I had DD but decreased in size afterwards, they seem to be getting smaller and I feel really self consious. I would love to be able to fill a nice top iykwim.

can anyone recommend anything apart from getting pregnant again LOL.

There are some great 'booster' bras around. Go to your dept store lingerie dept (not M&S, I don't rate them) and they will be able to suggest things.

HotCrossGoober · 12/04/2009 20:18

I bet mine are smaller than yours!

I usually just wear what they call a "T shirt bra". Anything else just looks unnatural.

LoveMyGirls · 12/04/2009 20:19

I got a fab bra from debenhams for when I want more norkage

The sad thing for me is that I used to be a G cup then I had a breast reduction on NHS due to the back pain and heaviness and they took them down to a C even though I said a D would be fine, then I had dd2 and now it seems I have more stomach than boobs, I thought if I lost weight I would have a smaller stomach but I'm 9.9 and though my boobs are slightly bigger than my tummy it's still not as much as I'd like but maybe with enough sit up's I'll get there!

No mine are smaller. Actually I haven't got any[hmm} a cup, possibly smaller even!!!!!!

have you heard of those herbal things that you take and they make your boobs grow??????

MaureenMLove · 12/04/2009 20:21

I have been norkily challenged for many years Muggle! Lots of padding is the only answer. Peacocks do some good padded bra's and the old chicken fillets are a must!

TBH though, there is as much nice top envy for those with big boobs, as there are with little ones.

NancysGarden · 12/04/2009 20:23

try gel bra from primark - just like a wonderbra but using gel pads, which mould themselves around you and feel more natural, good support too. (And best of all, only a fiver!)

Thanks - trouble is with me the bottom of the boob is quite full its the part above the nipples where there seems to be nothing, so doesn't even fill a bra properly iykwim - I barely wear a bra esp in the summer I have no need.

Kitty do the herbal things work?
My GP put me on my particular pill as they are supposed to help breast growth, its been a year or so and doesn't seem to be working, i seem to be putting weight on my hips and thighs

Mo - Chicken Fillets I need to purchase a new pair lol, mine have gone amiss.

first thing you need to do is get great fitting underwear... then go for fitted or semi fitted tops. do not wear baggy t-shirts, you will look like a boy in them. i wouldnt bother with "chicken fillets " either as they are crapolia and can fall out. nothing beats a good ultimo .. but look on the bright side of things you'll never have to worry about them sagging or hitting the floor when you undress..... pendulum norks is sooo not a good look! better to be small and perky!

Really Nancy mould to you? trouble is with Primark ours is always so busy and a mess I don't have the patience to go in there very often

OP posts:
mrsmaidamess · 12/04/2009 20:26

Mine are flatter in the top part too, I wear a (not cheap) bra but it really lifts and gives a fuller shape. Its ssoooo worth getting fitted and trying on loads until you get the shape you want.

MuppetsMuggle · 12/04/2009 20:28

DrLove - I generally wear tight fitting tops etc. I like the brightside of them not hitting the floor tho LOL

My DP says he's happy with the way I look which is a good thing - for me its a self consious thing esp as they got smaller after pregnancy

MrsM - where would you suggest for fitting?

OP posts:
NancysGarden · 12/04/2009 20:29

there's a layer of fabric between you and the gel pads, but IMO they are fab, tried one a year ago and never looked back. (I too once had proper big boobies, but breast feeding/ weight loss will sort that out for you, eh?)

Nancy - I've always had a small frame but my boobs were a good size before. I'm going shopping in the week, as going on a much needed girls night out - first in I can't remember how long lol, will have to step into primark and have a look.

drlove8alltheeastereggs · 12/04/2009 20:33

loads of places do fitting.... i am fond of debenhams because they've a huge selection of lovely frillies to try on! muppetmuggle your dh loves you the way you are ! and anymore than a handful is a waste dont you know! . another great thing about being petite is no backache!

MuppetsMuggle · 12/04/2009 20:35

DrLove He says the same tbh anymore than a handful is a waste - but I don't feel I've got a handful. I go into Debenhams alot as La Senza is in our one.

Muppets I have always found John Lewis good (well, my branch is).. Also there is a huge department store in my town where I always get my bras. I usually seek out the oldest member of staff, as they have been fitting bras since time beagn.

MuppetsMuggle · 12/04/2009 20:45

John Lewis is in a different town to me, although not to difficult to get too. anywhere else you recommend?

cositjustisok · 12/04/2009 20:47

Right MuppetsMuggle...I so so have the answer as i have just had mine..previously a minus triple AAA cup boobs non surgically enhanced..... it worked for me and am willing to share the info...interested ????

cositjustisok · 12/04/2009 20:50

Jsut to give you more info...after my fourth baby I went ot M&S to get measured for a bra to "help" me with my boobs that looked like a few mini eggs were sitting in the bottom part of my boobs but only breast bone above my nipple area...think this is what you are now having. Anyway the lady was lovely but did tell me my boobs looked like an 80 year olds...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cried for weeks. Same lady would not say that now if she seen me in the buff!!!!!

MuppetsMuggle · 12/04/2009 20:52

I sooo want the info

I don't want to look 80 - I want to feel the 26yr old that I am hehe

cositjustisok · 12/04/2009 20:58

Well just to add to my details ..I am nowhere near 80...think i was 38 though and years of breastfeeding and pregnancy had played havoc with my boobs....so saggy with nowt in them..honestly they where hideous looking and I spent a small fortune on gel bras, chicken fillets, air filled bras..you name it I tried it, it consumed my life, thinking of my crap boobs and what I used to have where so good and i was left with 80 year old boobs....(but 4 great kids did help with the pain) ...now i just go "au nauteral"..(Sp)...Anyway what worked for me ....as do not want to put you through any more waiting was the Mirena coil......I am now a good BIG FULL B.......YES a B cup....might even squeeze into it at that. They are perky and full and I now have breast tissue above my nipple...granted not to my pre baby boobs of a young 20 year old but they are fab for me and I did not even know it was a side affect.......they just happened after about 2 months after I got the coil put in......happy to answer any more questions ...

drlove8alltheeastereggs · 12/04/2009 20:59

aw muppets ! your only 26 bless your wee self ....there's still growing time left.... everyone knows you dont get norktastic until you at least 30! unfortunatly it seams to come with a big arse too! .

MuppetsMuggle · 12/04/2009 21:01

The coil hmm, i'm not allowed to have a coil fitted not allowed the injection, not sure about the implant tho, so will look into it, surely its the same type of thing?

OP posts:
cositjustisok · 12/04/2009 21:02

DrLove...."norktastic" is a great term ..but I did not know that we still developed until we were 30..are you kidding or is this true?....Boobs are just so important to us women, i was so unhappy a year or so ago about my boobs but have to say I am norktastic about mine now...not perfect by any standards but good enough to make me not be consumed by them and constantly sweating in chicken fillets.
