Any shirt big enough to fit over the girls without gapping is way too big everywhere else. Couldn’t you just wear a shirt underneath? But don’t, please. I love the accidental halcyon days when the light and gravity meet just so, and a large breasted girl’s shirt gaps open and I catch a glimpse of it. Just do us all a favor and show off the twins! ---

> [@Lamia](#): > > 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. Tell me there’s a point to moisturising them, because that shit is expensive for a tiny tub. And it smells bad and is horrible to sit in the cold with goo taking ages to dry in. ---

Try Palmer’s cocoa butter. Cheap, available at most UK supermarkets, smells awesome and it’s just as good a moisturiser as the expensive stuff. I’ve tried a lot of moisturisers- having chronic dry skin/eczema, and there’s not much real difference between the cheap and the _£20 for that?!_ bar perfume. No idea if it really helps with droopiness though- I’m not personally convinced anything does- though it does appear to help with stretch marks. ---

Hm, I’ll check for that next time I order groceries, thanks. I went and bought a £17 tub of stuff supposedly specifically for breasts from Lush. ---

Cripes, I guess I’m really lucky after all. I have small boobs so I don’t have to wear a bra, and I have oily skin so I don’t moisturize them (or anything else, actually). If only I could go back in time to when I was 13 and the small boobs and greasy skin were the biggest tragedies of my life . . . ---

Men are attracted to these things? There were so many that I thought were unattractive! Speaking as a hetero male I agree, I found quite a few of those unattractive. Some _very_ unattractive. As for the main subject; as far as my tastes go as long as she doesn’t outright look like a boy a larger size is just a nice bonus, but IMHO a good shape is _much_ more important. ---

A saggy breast in micro gravity wouldn’t magically become perky. Gravity makes thing point to towards the ground, but it doesn’t make the skin too big… ---

I have done extensive breast size studies over the years and I have one conclusion: If you’ve seen a million, you’ve seen them all. I would attempt ongoing studies but the conditions aren’t favorable. ---

> [@midnight-dreary](#): > > A saggy breast in micro gravity wouldn’t magically become perky. Gravity makes thing point to towards the ground, but it doesn’t make the skin too big… But it does pull on things. Logically, I’d expect breasts in zero g to change shape a bit due to the lack of anything pulling them down against the natural elasticity of the skin. They’d reach a new equilibrium, although I don’t know how “perky” it would be. ---

It’s as if they come with little signs that say, “For Display Purposes Only”. In the interest of fighting ignorance, some guy compiled statistics of 10,000 porn stars to create this [amazing infographic](http://www.boobieblog.com/img3/DeepInsideInfographic.jpg) (warning: it’s hosted on a site called _boobieblog_ which is definitely NSFW) which provides some interesting facts about the **average porn star** : Most female porn performers are **brunettes** and the most common bra size is **34B**. > [@Daylate](#): > > I just wish that they grew on women’ backs instead of their fronts. Think of how much more fun dancing would be. I remember seeing a cartoon once with a spaceman embracing an alien with four breasts, two in front, two in back. Quite (ahem) handy. ---

It’s good to see (mostly) support here. I feel a lot better about the issue. I guess you don’t understand, Ciero or tim-n-va. I personally don’t care about a man’s size, but I’d be glad to see one that _isn’t_ worried about it. That’s what I wanted to express with my thread. I am comfortable, nay, _happy_ with a feature that’s often described as a “flaw” that needs fixing. Just look in any swimwear or fashion article. Small bustlines are often spoken of as something that needs to be hidden, not accentuated. The goal is always to make the woman appear to have _larger_ breasts, not showing off the neat, trim lines such a bustline creates. I resent that, since inevitably, if a woman has larger breasts, their section of the article is about showing them off in a tasteful way. Why can’t I show mine off? Why am I asked to add ruffles and frills to give the illusion of a larger size? Why am I asked to wear a padded bra? Why is there always a note of sympathy involved? It’s insulting. I really think all women need to be making the most of what they have, not conforming to some tired standard. I feel that goes for every body part and facial feature. If that’s bad or weird, well? I’m bad and weird, then.
