What would you rather be?

Small chested, or larger?
Speaking as a women with 36 GG being smaller would not be such a bad idea. I would be able to purchase bras at the mall vrs buying bras at speciality stores. Buying a suitable supportive bathing suit would be easier than my current options. I'm very aware of my chest and always have the girls locked and loaded rather than jiggling, and I'm paying premium prices for that locked/loaded support.
Hopefully getting clothing to actually fit across the bust would be easier. I know bending down doing up my road bike shoes would be easier with smaller boobs. And apparently finding a waterproof cycling jacket would definatley be easier. And before anyone asks or suggests.....I'm not getting a breast reduction. They may not be perky and perfect, and yes at times they get in the way, but they are mine and are part of who I am as a woman......that plus the simple fact the hubby would never go for it :)

Once in awhile I've thought I'd like to be a little bigger; I've been an A my whole life, but recently was fitted and wear a B at times, but now that I have found the right bras, I could care less. I can't imagine having breasts large enough that they interfere with daily activities.
I once was at a luncheon/conference for a charity group I belong to. This was many years ago. The speaker was a plastic surgeon who was talking about breast enlargement and he was showing us implants (the actual thing that goes in your body). Someone started throwing the thing around and it landed squarely in my lap. I was mortified and decided I would would rather wear a padded bra. Of course, at that time I weighed about 92 pounds, so I really was small up top.

I'm happy as I am. Depending on the measuring device I'm either a 32C or 36A. :p

Murienne said it best, "healthy".

At this time for me, I'm fine with small. One appreciates that small is less affected by downward pull of gravity and aging especially past 50-60 yrs. But of course, every small woman often wants more. Until they come to their senses. And it takes decades for a small woman to recognize the advantages.

Healthy :) If I had my druthers I would be smaller - especially with that ever increasing action of gravity....

Healthy. I don't know that I would change anything, even though the girls are large enough to have contributed to the neck injury. My body is my body. I hear you, though, on paying a premium for swimsuits and bras that fit.

I'm fine with what I have. I certainly don't want more. The only time I am irritated is when I bra shop and can only find underwire. I hate underwire and refuse to wear them. I hate the confining feeling. Mine is a 36C and I find it hard to believe that there are so many padded/pushups in that size. It seems kind of odd to me.

I've actually seen bras that add 2 sizes for someone who is already a C or D cup...beyond the pale!

I'm a 34D. Pre-surgery I was a 34DDD. When I was nursing my son and at my heaviest I was a 40H-I. Yeah, that was a rude awakening. I was a 38D when I got pregnant and went up 5-6 cup sizes, not the 1-2 that the pregnancy magazines claim. :rolleyes:

I would have rather been a B-C after my reduction, but because I have a very wide breast base my surgeon explained that I would end up with "pancake boobs" if he took me smaller. My "girls" start in my pits and meet at my sternum. I need to wear very "full figure" or "full cup" bras (Lunaire have been the best for me and don't cost a fortune, even though they come in cute styles) or else they cut across the tops of my breasts and give me quadraboob, even if I'm not fully filling out the "tips" of the bra.

I've been both. At my heaviest, I was wearing a 40DD or so. Nowadays, 32A. I much prefer being smaller. A lot of tops are made for a bigger chest than I have, but it's not a big deal. There are plenty of bras out there that'll make you look a couple cup sizes larger, when it's needed...

And if being healthy and fit means being flat-chested for me, so be it. It's a very small price to pay.

I have been fortunate too. but i would never want to be BIGGER.

I don't mind being small at all. It was fun for the years I was breastfeeding to have boobs the size of large cantaloupes, but I prefer small for athletic stuff in general.

I've always been small on top and have never wanted to be bigger. Never understood the obsession some small women have with wanting to look like Dolly Parton. Would it have gotten me a lot of attention as a teenager, yeah - I had a friend who was my same height, but while a large T-shirt would come to my knees, on her it would have been stretched tight and barely a middie..... but I saw the kind of attention that got her and it wasn't appealing to me. I didn't think dirty old men leering at me in everywhere I went looked particularly fun.

Would clothing fit better? Maybe. Lot of things fit me like potato sacks, but just being bigger in general would probably fix that more than simply having bigger boobs.

lol!

I've never worried that much about my size. I suppose it would be nice to be a solid B cup, only because certain styles and types of clothing don't fit me all that well, and I've sometimes struggled to find bras that fit. But beyond that, I don't do care. Now if I only had was as apathetic about my leg shape and size.
