    Headlights seem to matter to only some nations in this world and I'm happy I don't live in one of them....
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    Headlights are annoying when one is small-breasted.

    Enough said. Nevertheless I try not to worry too much. For cycling it's just not worth it. You're breezing by!!

    Haha! My ex used to say they were so pointy they could cut glass! I'm getting to a point where for the most part, I've stopped caring. I wear a bra. If they point, they point. I have boobs. Get over it.
    Be yourself, to the extreme!

    I think it has nothing to do with self-confidence. This topic is just not present in some countries, you don't need "self-confidence" to ... have nipples (?) in those countries. I never even thought about this at all.

    To be honest, I'm quite happy too that I don't have to worry about my nipples or the lines of my underwear showing through clothes. And I don't mean this in a "patronizing" way at all. It sounds really stressful to think about all those things!

    I wonder if this is something "new" that came up in the last few years in your country? Or something you grew up with? (I hope it's not a "trend" that will affect me at some point. I wouldn't like to go through such hazzle.)

    I deleted my previous post. I regret getting into this discussion; this is a private hang-up of mine and I should have left it as such.

    I understand that in other countries, this is seen as having a "hang up" about natural body parts.
    I am not very modest, but I really don't want my nipples showing in any professional situation, just as I don't want my azz crack showing, or any cleavage. In my job, I have to be aware of what might be "triggering," but I would be like this in any work situation. And I don't want others to see my underwear, either.
    This may be cultural, and that's OK. Jobob, you didn't need to delete your post; I think everyone understands that opinions on this issue differ in different places.

    It's not earth-shattering news that there are cultural differences regarding this sort of thing. Learning about attitudes different from one's own is interesting to me.

    I admit the term "headlights" makes my skin crawl a little, but that's just me. I hate "buns," too.

    I ordered some of the Bezi bra discs this morning. Will report back. Shipping is ridiculous ($8.50 for tiny little things?!), but with the $10 off promo for signing up for their mailing list, I was willing to give them a try.

    I'll be interested to hear your opinion Emily. I wonder how they will feel in hot weather. I envision an unbearable urge to rip them off...but it would be nice to have something that worked.
