What would you rather be?

[Crankin]

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....

[luvmyguys]

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.

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'm with you...34C here and wouldn't want them any bigger, especially being a smaller person in general. The padded/pushup thing is silly IMHO--false advertising! As for bra shopping, try Target--I just found some non-underwire, non-padded bras there that are pretty comfortable. I hate underwire too.

LMAO...Amen to gravity!

[emily_in_nc]

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.

[jyyanks]

I'm actually fine with what I have --36C. I'm curvy for my height (5 feet) but whenever I lose weight, the girls are the first to go

LOL - my mistake. I meant a padded bra. Like ridiculous amounts of padding. The other problem with those? I felt like I was lying!

Also, I probably wouldn't skip the bra if I were in my cycling clothes at work! That would be a different story!

I have mixed feelings about having a small chest. A lot of time, I would indeed like more. However, when I participate in fitness classes and see women who are doubled up on sports bras, I think it's not such a bad thing being small. I can honestly say my breasts have never, ever gotten in the way of doing anything! I just accept them now that I'm in my mid-30's.

I'm holding out for pregnancy. Maybe then I'll have some boobies! For a few months anyway....
