Breast Buds and the "training" Bra


- I really don't think breasts as a female sexual part didn't become popular until the WWII era. I'm sure big breasts were preferred long before then. So I don't know where she's getting her information. - I'm sure cleavage was popular too! I mean the female characters in Gone with the Wind and Pride and Prejudice! I've seen paintings of women with cleavage! Where is she getting this idea?

- I mean, women with very large breasts usually have back pain because of they heavy weight it has to support. You can't tell me women didn't have anything to hold their breasts up to help fix that problem until the 1930s?

- That's interesting that homemade clothes are simply made to fit you, but store-bought clothes are made to fit a norm that girls feel they must fit into. Buying clothes is always a trigger for me to feel fat if I don't fit into my normal, small size.


- I asked my mother for a bra when I was seven years old! Talk about pressure to be feminine at a young age! For some reason, I really thought I was growing breasts and needed one! She bought me two and after experiencing how uncomfortable they were, I was done! I can't believe I thought that I needed a bra when I was that age!


- I think training bras are terrible! That's such bullshit what they doctor says about needing them medically! I can't believe mothers actually measured their daughters' breasts. That's completely ridiculous. - I don't understand how they convinced thin girls to wear a girdle- there's nothing to hold in or hide!

- My mom taught me to bend over and lean into my bra! I never thought anything of it. I thought it was just so my breasts were completely in the support of the cups!
- Wow, if this stuff is true with the calorie-counting booklet, it's really disgusting. No wonder girls are still dealing with the implications of this shit from way back then today and are now cutting their bodies or starving themselves to keep their "junior figure control."

- As embarrassed as I am do admit it, I once spent a lot of money on breast-enhancement pills and cream and it was a complete waste. They just promise you so much and I've had many issues with being unhappy with my body. I was willing to do almost anything if they promised me larger breasts. I was soooo stupid. Part of it was also because guys I had dated had commented on my small breasts so I didn't feel like a real woman unless I had them. I looked like an adolescent girl. It brings up lots of negative thoughts again and makes me very bitter that things I did to my body and my ball-and-chain still to the unhappiness connected with it.

Geez, that's so horrible that the media had you convinced at one point that you weren't beautiful because your breast where/are small. People obsess with beauty but don't seem to truly know what it is. It's annoying. Please be happy with yourself :D i'm sure you're beautiful.

don't feel like you have to have larger breasts to be attractive,
[well, obviously you don't, and that's why you wrote this,]
i tend to lose interest in girls who have cup sizes larger than a C,
most girls with breasts that large don't like to do anything active,
i am an athlete, so naturally i want a girl who likes to go bike riding or jogging, or just anything that requires exercise,

girls with large breasts don't like exercising because of the discomfort i guess they feel when their breasts pulse,

because of all of this, when talking to a new girl or even a friend, i only consider dating girls with C-cups and smaller,
it's easier that way,

i'm probably giving you WAY more info than you wanted, but i just wanted to let you know that there are people out there [like me] who prefer smaller breasts.
