I’m thirty-four and I am sized as a 34AA bra. An acquaintance of my husband’s (his brother’s ex) just had an augmentation done because she had self-esteem issues, but I met the girl once and I thought she looked great. Sure, she was almost flat, but she wore it very well. Navy girl, so she had no body fat, but she was toned without being mannish. My sister-in-law? Same story. She used to pester me endlessly to go in for a “two-for” augmentation job. I would always roll my eyes. Then she actually went and did it. Conveniently _after_ she and her husband got back together. It disappoints me a little, I suppose. I’ve yet to meet a small-chested woman like me who actually -prefers- her shape. Sure, my breasts are small, but they’re well-shaped and I know they won’t sag horribly in twenty years. They’re cute. I would never want to change them. Are there any other women who take pride in their little busts? I can’t be the only one… ---

Lets get this out of the way so we can move on…pics or it didn’t happen. Anyway, most men are not hung up on the size. There are good and bad big ones and good and bad little ones. Shape is more important. ---

Not so much pride, but I consider my small breast growth a fair trade for the ridiculous sensitivity I have. So I’m relatively happy with having small breasts. ---

As a woman who’s never been small, I envy the small-breasted their ability to go braless under all kinds of fabulous eveningwear. Enjoy! ---

I used to be a DD before my weight loss surgery. Now I’m a C. I love being able to wear cute bras now 🙂 ---

I am also small breasted and have always been happy that I am! I’ve NEVER understood why a woman would want bigger ones. And of course when you do have small ones you get to hear all the jokes growing up but it never bothered me. Luckily, I am small because I hate bras!!! Seriously hate them… I’ve almost always worn some sort of stretchy chamisole. Much more comfortable to me. I’m 5’ 7" and weigh around 115 lbs. and wear a 34A. So…add me to list of ladies that don’t have much up top. 😃 ---

> [@Sevencl](#): > > You don’t like strapless ones? Like Filbert said, they don’t work past a certain bra size; there has to be a certain common proportion or else the top acts like an umbrella and w/o a created waist built in to the style of dress (belt, sash), the look is not flattering. I’ve seen some strapless, belted dresses that are very cute, though. Not for the short-waisted (like myself), but pretty nonetheless. OP, I don’t know how old you are, but a little advice is coming your way; yes, we’re smaller and less inclined to gravity’s harsh affects, but there will be a day in your mid-40’s when you’ll need some lift to return them to their original position. You can stave off that day by finding a comfortable bra to sleep in, one of those unstructured ones where it’s essentially a sports bra. Gravity doesn’t shut off when we’re asleep. Also, moisturize from your neck past your ribs as regularly as you do your face. ---

No one’s ever told me to do either of those things… definitely have to start. ---

Good for you (no snark). You can certainly wear an…enhanced bra if you want to look bigger for some reason, but there’s not much you can do if you’ve got flesh that you have to put somewhere. I’m always impressed with stars who stick with what nature gave them, instead of giving in to the pressure to participate in the bubble-boob fad. No back pain, no shoulder pain, no dents in your shoulders from bra straps, no (well, fewer) guys talking straight to your chest, your choice of tops and dresses - what’s not to love? 🙂 ---

You can stave off that day by finding a comfortable bra to sleep in, one of those unstructured ones where it’s essentially a sports bra. Gravity doesn’t shut off when we’re asleep. There’s actually no evidence to support the notion that wearing a bra does anything to prevent the sag that comes with age, and a few studies suggest that _not_ wearing a bra actually does more to delay drooping. The only gravity-defying effect one can expect from a bra is that it will keep the breasts up while it is actually being worn. ---

I am a 38 DD, and I hate it. Plus now that I am pregnant I am getting bigger, I may be closer to an E right now ☹ ---

What Loach said. It’s more important how they look than their size. Besides which, in terms of sexuality I’ve always considered a woman’s breasts to be there for her pleasure not mine. After all, none of the nerve endings there go to my pleasure centers, they go to hers. I can fondle, nibble, squish or caress all day (and hey, what man wouldnt?)and honestly I’m doing that for the effect it has on her far more than me. So if they’re tiny little cuties or big old tight implants it really makes no big difference. In the OP’s case I’d much rather spend time with a woman that likes herself the way she is than one that constantly feels a need to make herself appear different just because she can. ---

Speaking as a male, I’ve always found small breastage to be hyper-attractive. ---

Well, I always had 36A boobs until a 30lb weight gain and a pregnancy put me in D-DD area. I prefer it this way myself, I always packed a serious trunk and now I feel more balanced. ---

I have a friend who referred to herself as she used to be a 38C…now she’s a 38 long. I’m feeling the effects of gravity after weight loss surgery and a 90lb weight loss. I’ve decided I will just never be naked again. do they make spanx that start at my chin and end at my ankles?
