I don't know whether wearing a sports bra count as binding but I do only when I'm working out. Even if I do they are unmanageable at times. :oops:

I have D's and they really annoy me at times. I've developed more of an appreciation for them as I've gotten older, but they're still a pain in the ass.

I wear a B and I wish mine were bigger. I used to have C's, but after nursing babies they are now B's.

I actually have these little silicone gel bag things that I put in certain bra's that I have that push what I do have up and give me cleavage. I always wear a padded bra, and even have a couple of those 60's pointy bras, but I hate underwire bras.

Now that I'm in perimenopause, my boobs are very sore and tender for about a week before my period, during it, and a few days after. Not the usual soreness. This is sore the way it feels when you are full of milk and the baby isn't hungry. One of those times where you could scream if anyone touched them at all, even bumped into you.

Although they do get bigger while you are nursing, they unfortunately go back down.

I have DDs and I don't really think about them one way or another. I think they can look "dumpy" when your bra starts to wear out, for example, and they're hard to dress for/around (things that fit my shoulders will be too small in breasts, so I have to get things that hang on me).

I find it hard to get a really good sports bra, too. Some are so constrictive that you can't breathe too well, which kinds of defeats the purpose when you're working out. Others don't provide enough support. Fortunately, I've found a model or two that works with me, so I just keep buying that kind.

Well get about four or five now, because in my experience, anytime you find something that's just right it's immediately discontinued.

I wanted a breast reduction surgery when I was a teen but it's too expensive. They are big, DD's and I find large boobs disgusting. They don't hurt my back but they tend to sag more because they are so big the weight of them makes them sag eventually. I wear bras all the time. But I think my right one has shrunk because I have nursed and that boob hardly makes milk now and has nearly dried up. I am not sure what cup size it is. But I have learned to accept my boobs and not be upset about having them.


Some women's boobs never go back down after they are done having kids, same with nursing.

I love my boobs. They're small and very sensitive, so they're erm...important to me, if you get what I mean. I'd feel differently if I had melons because then I'd have even more trouble trying to find tops that fit.

I used to love having big boobs - I've always had large breasts. But since I got sick, I've lost a shedload of weight and now they're down to a B-cup. It's kind of nice, because now I can wear cute bras without paying an arm-and-a-leg. What I hate though is how companies assume that if you have a small bust, you want a ton of padding. I hate padded bras with a passion.

/\ Yes. My entire life, since I was around 14yrs old. I'm 45 now.
No seams, no wires, keep em in place and tight....even when I sleep. Whew, glad I'm not the only one. :wink:

Before I had my first sports bra, I used a 3 inch wide elastic belt to bind, but that didn't work very well for long. I still remember that silly belt.

Edit to add the question: Lazoriss (and especially anyone else who binds), just curious if you also do not identify with being female like me....and don't answer this if it's too personal: Do you not identify with your gender, yet are heterosexual :?:

Hey, Witchy. Glad to see someone else who relates to the whole sports bra thing. I'm actually not wearing one today (for the first time in a few months since I started) only because I need to wash the ones I have. Still wearing an undershirt, though.

I don't identify with being female, but am not FtM either. I prefer to dress and present myself as being generally androgynous. Some days I will dress more femine while on other days I'll dress more masculine; it really depends on how I feel. This is partly why I do bind and also why I keep my hair short.

As for my sexuality, I'm not sure. The best I can come up with is being asexual and biromantic. I'm not really interested in sex, but I do enjoy dating and feel I could fall in love with either gender.

Hope that answers your questions. ^^

I dress androgynous most of the time too.

I've always liked guys - but I'm very particular as far as physical and mental attraction.

And thank you for responding to my questions.

Bouncing breasts are a great thing. It's control that is the key...

Actually, I don't know what I would do if I had a male appendage that I could not bind or control either... *lol*

Mine hurt if they bounce too much. And it's terrible for the connective tissue, they start to sag if you're not careful...

Plus, mine are so heavy that if they bounce (like when I'm working out) it can throw me off a bit, balancewise.

why go through all this effort to remove a purposeful structure of the human body. They're used to nurse infants (you never want to use formula, they put some messed chemicals in them) and means healthier children.

The only reason why males are attracted to mammaries is because its part of the instinctual Male psyche to associate a girl with Large breast to raise provide excellent nourishment for offspring.

We can't help if we tried. its mother nature's way of torturing guys and securing a next generation. :roll:

and replying to the large mammary comment earlier: yeah most guys dont think that way but they just get distracted alot by them, We cannot help to notice regardless if were NT or AS, its the way guys are programmed.
