Do you wish you had bigger boobs?

I was floored when a very petite friend told me she has literally never felt female because she's not quite an A cup. I guess as a B/C (depending on which boob you're looking at on which day) this is something I never thought about. While I might wish I matched more closely, I certainly never wished for *bigger* ones - it's already a PITA to strap down the girls when I go running!

Clearly SOMEONE must want bigger breasts, or breast augmentation wouldn't be such a popular choice. I know a handful of girlfriends who had a lift and pop after breastfeeding, or after breast cancer to balance themselves out. But they're very defensive about it for some reason, and I'm not sure why.

If you do want larger ones, or you don't, why or why not?

I actually wish mine were smaller. I wear a 34D and being a tad shortwaisted I would like littler girls.

No but I sometimes wish for smaller thighs!

No, I use my small frame and bust to my advantage a lot, when it comes to dressing. Would not change a thing.

Well, let's get right to it : no.

I refer to mine as "man-boobs" and we have had a lovely relationship ( it got a little rocky last year but we are working through it ).

I have to agree with Sveta : smaller thighs, nose, better legs.....all priorities over the boobs.

not at all

No way!

No! I could have, because I had breast reconstruction after surgery, but I wanted close to my original size B/C-ish.

I have on occasion wished they were smaller.

But like Sveta, I think way more about my thighs. Waist is second. Shoulders third.

They are on my list as well as a tummy tuck. Saving up for a few years, hopefully it will be a present for myself for my 40th.

The opposite. I've had envy of friends who can actually go braless. I have to sleep in something supportive. At a 34DDD it makes me feel big, matronly and frumpy at times. But I nursed both my DC so they did serve a purpose at one point. I wouldn't change them surgically unless they were causing me back issues (they aren't) If I lose some weight they will lessen a bit, but they've always been larger than most of my friends' of the same size. Wanting different hair, stomach and smaller feet I can relate if someone is not happy with what they have.

Yes, but I don't want surgery. I do wear a maximiser bra.

I do like small breasts, but it makes carrying off my pear shape trickier.

No. I had a medically necessary breast reduction and still feel big at 32DD. I have friends who want bigger boobs and claim to feel less feminine because of it. My sole issue was feeling physically held back by my boobs, while wanting larger breasts is an aesthetic rather then physical concern. Not knocking (haha) those who'd like to be well-endowed, just saying I'd be happy to be flat.

I have, for much of my life. I toyed with the idea of geting implants in my late thirties when a few of my friends were doing it, but the expense and health risks kept me from having surgery. I've worn a padded bra for years and they recently discontinued the style. The other day I had on my bikini top, which isn't padded and I decided that I was going to look for a new bra that is "regular" and not padded. I'm coming to grips with some body type modifiers that I used to see as flaws. I also want to send the message that my body is perfect just the way it is to my teenaged daughter, who is starting to compare herself to others. I want her to start out with a healthy body image.

Are you crazy? I'm flat and happy. Or (sort of) as the saying goes "f(l)at and sassy."

ETA: If I had to accomodate boobs AND shoulders, I would have nothing to wear.

Claire, you rock. I would like to be in the mindset you are in. I have been, but that was before motherhood. Maybe one day...

Kelly, welcome to my world! And I'm practically a midget on top of that!

My little cupcakes are aging well and still perky at 65, so no. Sometimes it would be nice to have cleavage but, like Claire, I'm not wanting to wear augmenting bras anymore unless needed for a dress to fit properly.

@Una: LOL! You are too funny.

I want boobs like the lady in the current YLF background picture ^_^

Oh my gosh, only all of high school and half of college! I've been a scant B my whole life and it took until I was about 20 to finally realize that there is nothing wrong with that size and that larger-breasted women might want to wear my tank tops and trangle bikinis (at the time) without worrying about support.

The experienced just a bit of the troubles of large breats during breastfeeding, when I peaked at a solid D. Now, I'm happy to have my Bs back but sure wish breastfeeding had left them firmer. TMI?

Nope. I was much more endowed while I was pregnant and nursing, not to mention overweight. It was a relief when they shrank with the rest of me. No way do I want them to grow again.

Fruitful

Veteran

Not TMI to me Jenny Anne! Most of my life I've been a scant A (not quite filling out an A cup), currently a B but still breastfeeding and carrying extra body fat.

If it's any consolation, I've heard it said that pregnancy changes your breasts anyway, so avoiding breastfeeding wouldn't save them. I still think my sons have sucked the life out of them though lol. I wish it didn't happen but breastfeeding them has been worth any cost to me. If I could get my wishes without surgery, I'd have my tight pre-kids As back in a nanosecond.

If anything I would love to be smaller and able to go braless sometimes. I would say I am medium and never wanted to be large. But I have plenty of other fantasy body parts - like a waist for example - so I can certainly understand how others would want this.

No- I have trouble finding shirts that don't pull across my chest as it is.

Good grief, is this a loaded topic for me. I'm trying to imagine myself as a "small" woman and wanting larger breasts...I suppose it might be the grass is greener effect (though I've met plenty of women who were grateful not to be that well-endowed).

It is tough to have large breasts particularly when your body overall is very petite. They just take over the entire upper body. Argh. I think they present the biggest fitting issue of all the different challenges I face in getting clothes that fit. Be grateful for what you've got!

Good grief, NO! I have always wanted smaller boobs, and I wear a minimizer to do just that. TMI alert: I really wish I had smaller, less prominent nipples! I can't wear lots of tops (e.g., a thin silk sweater, or a silk top without pockets in front) because I would look scandalous in the classroom. I can't wear a padded bra because I wear a minimizer to flatten them... I always have to think about my nips whenever I'm shopping for shirts for work :).

Okay, I am officially comfortable here at YLF!

I would say in my early 30's I did but somehow I got over it and am now pretty happy with my smallish chest. I'm in proportion anyway as far as sizing charts go so maybe I was just overly scrutinizing my chest during those years. Am SOOO glad I never thought of surgery. I never knew it had to be done more than once, either. Yikes.

Jonesy, I got a strapless bra recently (that didn't fit - sigh) but it had built in modesty petals. Maybe give the line a look? http://baliintimates.com/bras/.....oncealers/
