    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.

    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.

    32C here and would not want to be larger. For athletic endeavors, I think smaller is better and tends to make one look a little thinner than the opposite.

    I'm pretty flat. Mistaken for a boy in college. A little more now, in my late 30s, but I'm also 20 lbs heavier than in college!

    But I realized early early on that I didn't want bigger boobs. First or second year I was in college (definitely under 21) I was wearing a pushup bra, and I was playing pool, and the bra was getting in the way of lining up a clean shot!

    I generate ridiculous amounts of heat when I exercise, especially from my core, and I enjoy the fact that I can bike with no bra under the jersey. If anyone wants to stare at my nipples, let 'em. Not my problem!

    Clearly some of us have never experienced this..like me. Alot of push-up bras on me just make me giggle. I seldom feel sexy, I feel somewhat silly because inevitably for me, it means some padding...or nowadays because of bra styles, too much padding. Ah well, pretty slim line bras are ones we can wear since we don't need so much support.

    Climber, I learned a long time ago to wear a bra..especially walking around in my gear into the office and out. I still have get the rest of my stuff from my desk after changing into cycling gear in the workplace washroom.
