Concerning Small Breasts
Boobs, tits, jugs, knockers, hooters; also known as breasts. They are often considered the defining part of a woman's body, or, at least, a major part of the definition. As a woman with small breasts, I have felt insecure about my chest size on various occasions. I'll find a cute top, but when I try it on, there is excess material where a woman with even a B cup would not have a problem. When I see a woman who looks good in a halter top, I'm jealous. But what can I do? I do not have any moral reservations against breast implants, but I do not like the idea of surgery, and breast augmentation operations are not exactly cheap. And even if those herbal supplements work, I'm not about to risk weird side effects that give me diarrhea or even more serious health problems. Apparently BRAVA (the vacuum-pump bra) works, but that is too pricey for me, too. And I cannot even use a push-up bra because I do not have enough breast to push up.
So that leaves me with padded bras and gel inserts. I have never tried the inserts for a variety of reasons, one being that I'm afraid they will fall out at an inopportune time. So when I need to fill out that shirt, I go to my padded bras. For a quality padded bra, I suggest using the air- or water-filled ones. Of the ones that I have tried, the air bras have a better shape. The only problem with the air bras is that they make a faint rustling noise when you push on them because of the plastic surrounding the air. The noise does not bother me (who is going to think my breasts are the source of a faint rustling noise?), but it is a consideration. In any case, both air and water bras feel a lot more natural than traditional padding.
Issues with "False Advertising"
Some women feel uncomfortable wearing a padded bra or other enhancement because they think it is "false advertising." A woman with this concern is worried that her partner will feel cheated when he discovers that her natural breasts are smaller than he originally thought. My personal opinion is that most guys are so happy to become involved in a sexual interaction that they really don�t care that much about the woman's breast size. Honestly, I have found that guys care more about the nipples than the size of the breast. If you do find a guy who does have a problem with your breasts, just consider the situation. Do you want to sleep with someone who thinks differently of you because of your breast size? I honestly feel sorry for guys who have this problem (although I have never run into one), because breast size has absolutely nothing to do with sexual ability or sensitivity.
The Positives of Having Small Breasts
Another thing that is important to remember is the benefit of small breasts. I do not have to wear a bra if I do not want to. I do not have back problems or poor posture because of the weight of my breasts. And I can wear a padded bra to make my breasts look bigger if I want to, but it is much more difficult for women with larger breasts to make them look smaller. Jogging, riding horseback, or riding in a car with stiff suspension does not hurt me nearly as much as it would hurt a woman with larger breasts.
Sometimes when I look at the Victoria's Secret models, I get kind of bummed out because I will never look like they do in their underwear. Then I look at Kate Hudson or Gwenyth Paltrow, and I remember that you can be absolutely gorgeous without large breasts. Sure, they are a physical marker of womanhood, but there is so much more to being a woman than having breasts.
