Can you advise me on my bewbs?

Or we can have a discussion of all types, but I particularly want a woman's take on girls with teeny boobies wearing little cami tank tops.

1. Do you make fun of us for our little bewbs?

2. Or should I just slap on the bandaids to avoid nipplage and go for it?

(My DH wholly appreciates small boob confidence, but my feeling is that women, or at least I, must dress for other women since avoid cami tops b/c I can't let go bras - they give me the bewbage I have).

Re: Can you advise me on my bewbs?

  • 1) most grown ups dont make fun of boobage size I dont think

    2) I would just wear a strapless bra with it. No matter the size I dont think grownups, or teens past puberty, shd go out without a bra meself. I feel like one can always tell and its usually not a good thing...

  • 1.  Nope - only if I can see nipplage.  Then I have a problem.

    2.  Personally, I'd go with a cami w/ a built in shelf-bra.  It seems like a good compromise.

    My boobs were once much smaller, so I totally know where you're coming from.  When I went on BC a few years ago, they grew a cup and a half and thankfully never went back. 

  • Do you mean cami tops with a bra?  Or with that shelf bra it comes with.  If the shelf bra is good and supportive and doesn't give me a nip preview go for it. 

    The only feeling I have toward little boobs is envy.  Be proud!  Wear a demi bra, padded bra, balconette bra, wonder bra - all the bras I will never in this lifetime I will be able to wear.  But for godsakes, do not go braless.  We do mock a woman who works at the school here who has small boobs and goes braless and it's not a good scene.  at.all.  She's the talk of the campus when she's wearing a particularly "blousy" shirt. 

  • I say go for it if you can.  Honestly, I'm jealous since I've got some major bewbage and can't get away w/ a little cami tank thanks to the bra straps.
  • I would see you and be jealous!

    Mine are no where's near small enough to go bra-less.EVER!

  • No I am jealous of people with small bewbies. Mine are unbelievably big. If I wanted to get intimate I'd share but all I'm saying is they've gotten bigger and I can't wait to get the chopped off!!Zip it!

     

    Also, I'd love to be able to not wear a bra. So those who can, I say DO IT! Take advantage of the fact that you don't have to wear bras! I will if I'm able to after a reduction... 

  • Duff, I hear ya. I'm flat as a board. I also NEVER go without a bra. I'd wear strapless bra. I hate headlights.
  • Ditto on the jealousy!!!  Though I don't think I'd go braless even if I could.
  • The shelf bra flattens them out so much that they stay even flatter after I take it off.

    So I'd have to go strapless. Which I also hate (hut, hut, HIKE!)

  • 1. No I don't make fun of small breasted women. It never even crossed my mind to since I'm so envious of you.

    2. like pp's said, if the shelf bra gives you support and doesn't show your nips then go for it. Otherwise, a cami with a bra is fine. I really only notice larger chested women who try to do this and end up looking obscene.

     

  • I would never make fun of someone for that. Honestly, I think the grass is always greener on the other side.  There are days when I feel like my girls make me look fat.  I never really feel little and petite with them.  And there are certain cuts of necklines that I should not ever wear (high necks).  They are so unflattering.
  • I wouldn't make fun of you, unless you were my sister, I've been known to pick on her a bit.  Pre PG I could have gotten away with it other than nipplage...but I chose to wear the bra to fill the shelf bra out...and to make my tummy look smaller!!
  • As someone with bigger boobs, I wouldn't make fun on you for their size.  Actually I would envy you.  You want some of mine....I hate them. Smile

    I think you should go the strapless bra route because like pp said, any woman past their tweens should wear one.

  • I'm pretty small and if I'm wearing a tank with a shelf bra I'll go bra less, as long as there is no nips popping, I've worn bandaids in the past. If I'm wearing a different shirt that doesn't have any kind of bra I'll usually put one on not for support but just for modesty.  But today I'm wearing a shirt with a big sweater over it and I'm not wearing anything and you can't see anything. The only time I need support is when I run and that's only since I gained weight last year... they finally bounce a little!

  • If I could wear a tank with a shelf bra & get away with it, I would do it in a heartbeat!!!! That would be sooooo much more comfy than a bra. I wish that my girls were smaller but they are not so you work with what ya got!!
  • as a fellow very small chested woman....I'd never make fun. ?I actually love my small bewbs. ?For about a year when I was in my 20's I wanted fake ones. ?But I quickly grew out of that stage and now have "small boob confidence" ?(Love that phrase!)

    ?

    Anyway, ?I have tons of tanks with the shelf bra but they make me look even flatter so unless I am going to a yoga class I always wear a bra out of the house.?
