There are two of them. They fed both my babies. They fed them until they were just over 2 years old. Two breasts that now look like two sacks of skin with stretched nipples on top. I don't love them. I don't hate them. I just don't like them.
Have you ever tried to find a bra to fit mini breasts? Have you ever been treated the wrong way because of the size of your breasts? I went shopping a few months ago with Karen, (my ace girlfriend from the UK), and the lady basically laughed at me, and told me there were no bras to fit my breasts. I decided at that point I would either wear no bra, or I would wear what I would call the new age training bra, the bralette, or a crop top.
Today I shopped. I wanted to feel sexy, and like a woman. I was helped by a lovely lady that treated me like a woman. I found one bra. And sometimes that is all we need, one bra, and one person that treats you like a woman..... {The thing is, I believe, you are as much a woman as you allow yourself to feel. It is not the size of your breasts, the shape of your body, or the way you look. It is within yourself; acceptance}.
What is it about breasts. Why do we feel like more a woman when we have them, and less a woman when we don't have them. Or am I the only one with shriveled up breasts, and an issue with feeling less sexy because of the new age training bra I need to wear?
Keely thinks they are "BIG!" They fed both my babies. Less weight to carry when I run. I can rock no bra. I save a lot of money on lingerie. Both my boobs are 10/10, and they received top grades with straight A's.
I am hearing you loud and clear and have only just been talking about how my boobies are really foam. Why do smaller cup bras have underwires? It's so uncomfortable and they just ride up all the time. Maybe this is our calling? To remedy this situation. Surely we're not the only ones rocking small boobie-lackas, and wanting to feel tres femme. x
ReplyDeletea fortune to be made...... lets design some tres femme brassiere for the little boobies! We have a whole heap of fit models to get the design right! x
Deletehave you been spying on me?!?! hahaha :) mine are exactly the same, fed 2 babes no worries, but nothing like someone saying "uh, we can't fit anything that small" !! I feel exactly the same.... I'm not greedy, I dont need/want big boobies, but just some that make me feel feminine, not a 12AA (which they dont make!) thanks for sharing :) Lauren x
ReplyDeleteIf I could write as eloquently as you, I could give you many reasons why large boobs are also no fun. Why can't we all just have mid-sized boobs?
ReplyDeleteI'm a 12A boobalacka girl, I BF both my girls til 2+ years, and I affectionately call mine "banana boobs", yeah, they're dead sexy. I wear CK bras as they make a really nice, well padded 12A that makes me look like I have boobage. So sympathies from me to you. Enjoy your new bra. I love wearing a nice bra.
ReplyDeletelove CK. have a few of their bra-lettes (saying that with a posh accent), and feel rather sexy in them, as they are lace. x
DeleteSame...
ReplyDeleteTiny little boobies that did a great job feeding my 3 kiddos. Finding a bra that fits and that doesn't try to squish those little tea bags into the middle of my chest is near impossible. I am not 15, my boobies no longer sit there. They have wandered off to opposite sides of my chest!!!
Ecobabe, I'm off to check out the CK bra range.
You are not alone! Mine have fed 4 babies wonderfully and are floppy and shrivelled, and the thought of bra shopping makes me cringe! My Aunty has had is worse - she cannot find a bra anywhere to fit her and when getting her breasts mammogrammed the lady (who of course would have seen thousands of breasts over years) exclaimed that my Aunts were the smallest she had ever seen! Poor thing!! Anyway - there is no easy answer but to just be thankful we were able to feed out kids and that we still have something - even if tiny! ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree...you do write eloquently Hayley and you have hit the nail right on the head yet again x
ReplyDeleteI'm concerned about my boobs and the journey they have taken throughout this pregnancy. And I find bras very constricting. If it didn't bother other people I'd happily wander around swinging one over each shoulder when necessary.
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same Haley and I didn't even breast feed! I have been paranoid since I was a teenager and I still really hate my boobs! And they are even smaller (if that's even possible) since having kiddos! The thing is, I'm a sonographer and I work in a breast unit where I diagnose breast cancer. It has made me appreciate my boobs more now because I am just glad they are healthy!!! Xx
