Inflatable Breast implants?

Purely to satisfy my morbid curiosity
How come there are no Inflatable Breast implants?

They present obvious atvantages over the silicone ones…

The right size for the right Occasion… Right?

What obvious advantages? Needing a selection of bra sizes? Having a hole in your body someplace to get the air from? Requiring a pump mechanism to be implanted?

Right but you could be a b cup at the office and a D cup at the bar after work…

:stuck_out_tongue:

…overzealous boyfriend causing a blowout? brooch pin causing embarassing leak?

Although, if filled with helium, could cause a nursing baby to cry in a Munchkin like manner…

Well, Helix, many breast implants - particularly the saline filled ones ARE inflatable to a certain point.

The woman has the put in and gradualy increased in size over a period of weeks until they are the size she wants. Subsequent to that she can have them either enlarged or made smaller should she find her inital choice is not the correct one.

That being said, I would assume the that lack of availability of your teenaged fantasy boobs is because skin just doesn’t work that way. The woman would wind up with nasty drooped out boob skin - that’s just not pretty.

Not to mention the fact that an air-filled breast just wouldn’t feel like a real one. Silicone isn’t perfect either, but it’s better than air, in this regard.

Except for the stretch marks, ewww!

And imagine the weird sensation of having balloons inside you (OK, it’s not as if I’ve got breasts, but bare with me). I mean, it’ll feel weird having two lumps on your chest without any inertia. Come to think of it, it’s better then chronic back problems though.

And the oh so comical aftermath of an exploded implant :smiley:

Imagine how funny foreplay would sound. (Oh, yeah, baby, your ti… BANG… whoops…) Also, if she rubbed her boobs against someone’s hair, would she stick to the wall?

AH-HAHAHAHAHA !!!

:smiley: :smiley:

This thread has definitely satisfied my daily reccomemded dosage of Humor… :smiley:

The possibility of having a blowout is something I’d expect to see in a B comedy…

But humor aside… Im sure that some where … the must be a market for this…
Las Vegas Maybe? :smiley:

Skin doesn’t stretch like that. It stretches slowly (ie, inflated over time) and doesn’t spring back once the implant in deflated.

Taking this seriously for a moment and applying my abundantly twisted imagination, AFAIK the only way one could possibly “inflate” a breast from outside would be to pump saline into the mammary glands through the nipple to engorge them as they would be during heavy lactation. Naturally this would have do be done slowly over a period of weeks.
(I swear this is the first time I ever gave this serious thought)

Don’t be silly. Obviously, you’d just stick your thumb in your mouth and blow real hard.

Could be very handy if you found yourself cast overboard unexpectedly. Built-in PFD!

I thought that gave you a cartoonishly large fist, capable of punching anvils, most villans, and the like…

Yes, but by squezzing the fist the air can be pushed to any part of the cartoon body.

See… Another atvantage…

We would have had much less casualties on the titanic disaster if this was around a century ago…

If women are going to become flotation devices, then I want one issued to me on my next cruise.

But it would make snorkelling nearly impossible

This idea isn’t a new one; I saw a work of fiction with this very plotline a few years ago. The absurdity of such a procedure is evidenced by the publication in which it appeared: A “quasi-indie” mens’ magazine that quite possibly did not have a large readership in a few states.

I doubt there would be a demand for inflatable implants. There are easier methods on the market, such as inflatable bras and bikini tops. Not to mention practical joke devices.

Well, for that you just need the inflatable ass.
