When I was 23 or so I went through this weird phase a few years after recovery from anorexia. Even though after getting a Nordstrom bra fitting (32D), I was convinced I had small boobs. Visually, they definitely look small (Emma Chamberlain for reference) and if I'm not wearing a bra they look quite small. I went into this frenzy after being exposed to not only p*** boobs but Instagram models with breast augmentation and filters, where I thought that I really genuinely needed a breast augmentation surgery AKA boob job.
I got over this craze within a year, but I'm so glad I never pulled the trigger. Mostly because I was broke, but the patreon bonus episode inspired me to write this post. Not only do my small boobs allow me to play sports easier, especially hockey because of the chest pads (women with larger chests talk about how it's inconvenient to find proper fitting chest pads and to see the puck beneath them LOL), and running and jumping on the trampoline etc etc etc, even hiking because of the backpack straps.... But I would much rather be rejected for having small breasts than be rejected for having unnatural breasts if a guy finds out I had surgery, or if it's obvious. Additionally, it's a good 10 to 25k every 10 years. You have to keep replacing them and there are literally thousands of women who experience illness with breast implants. I think this is normal because the body is rejecting a foreign object. You could damage your nerves ruining breast sensation or become unable to breastfeed later.
Not only that, but with the most common form of breast implants which is under the muscle, the most natural looking so to speak, they literally cut your pectoral muscle and women who work out and do push-ups say you can feel a lot of pressure and discomfort for years after if not forever.
Who is profiting from this? Also, if you put $25,000 in a retirement account every 10 years, you would be a literal millionaire by the age of 60.
Please, don't cut your body open and spend thousands of dollars on something that won't even improve the men who are attracted to you, if anything it will attract men who go slack jaw for a large chest, and there will always be a woman with larger, perkier breasts. Besides, none of these men have long-term thinking because augmented or natural, your breasts will sag and be heavy when you're older.
I would be absolutely devastated if I went through the pain, cost and time to get breast augmentation just to have some man reject me because of my "fake tits". I haven't really had too many problems with my smaller breasts either, men seem to like them just fine and after all I do have a working vagina if that's not enough for them.
There's no reason to get breast augmentation unless you've had a mastectomy due to cancer or some other medical issue. I understand there are probably some women on this forum who have gotten breast augmentation, this isn't a judgment on you rather a message to small boob Queens who are considering the painful and massive lifelong expense of something because they think it will improve their life when it probably won't.
Also the patriarchy made us think that bra sizes correlates to breast size. That’s not 100% true. It literally just the circumference of your chest and the cup size is the circumference of your breast. It doesn’t not account for volume or actual shape (breast are not all circle shaped). I feel like this is how patriarchy gets women to feel insecure about ourselves by equating bugger cup size with bigger looking chest that’s also high in volume. Or make women feel insecure about not filling out a cup because they were designed poorly.
There are a lot of women on youtube who speaks up about breast implants, how they feel uncomfortable and toxic, how they had to remove it etc. and I'm so glad that people are starting to talk about it. Like you stated, our bodies shouldn't be something to cut open and put some toxic stuff in, we're not dolls we are actual human beings and surgeries always have consequences-short term and long term. To lay under a knife just to have bigger boobs is extreme internalized misogyny and this women should have some sort of therapy in my opinion.
I'm really hoping boob jobs go out of fashion as women get more and more savvy and self-respecting. Look at how "body trends" have changed---thin eyebrows, thick brows, small butts, big butts, straight hair, curly hair---it's almost as though we aren't a bunch of plastic dolls with interchangable parts to be plucked and chopped in the futile pursuit of attention from men who aren't worth the time of day. It refreshes me to see younger girls dressing in more comfortable clothes and less "pornified" looks in fashion.
A HVM will love your body--as it is, and as it changes naturally. Anything less does not deserve your time or respect.
I'm proud of you for realizing that breast implants wouldn't actually add any value to your life.
Breast implants are the product of misogyny and the male gaze. The only reason some women feel their breasts are too small is because that's the overall narrative we hear in a society that is largely controlled by men. The idea of female attractiveness is meant to please men and only men. And we all already know that male attention is worthless.
Nothing wrong with wanting to look nice but going so far as to pay a (likely male) surgeon to slice you open and implant a foreign object into your body is harmful and extreme. I'm glad to hear that there are women who are being honest about the side effects of their breast augmentation surgeries.
Small tittie gang 💗I used to want bigger boobs as well but firstly it was my intuition who told me not to ever do this, I know for 99% it would go wrong. It's so unhealthy also and its a by-product from internal misogyny sadly. I get when women want smaller boobs, because of back problems etc. but that's something else, way different subject. You know the conversation we've had about 'profiling yourself' you know about make-up.. This is the same. Don't say you're secure about yourself and let strangers cut your healthy body open to put chemical breast implants in it for the sake of.... ????
thanks for sharing, excellent points. I felt the same way about my nose, as I grew up as an ethnic minority in my community and wanted to look the same as my peers in hopes they wouldn’t bully me. Glad I was too poor for a nose job, because now I think my nose is perfect for my face. I think one of the greatest aspects of capitalism is the ability for people to create, market and sell solutions for any and every problem. the thing we need to be wary of is when an industry artificially creates a problem in order to sell their solution. The beauty industry has exactly done that, offering solutions to maintain whatever standard they’ve set, and they target women HARD. Like look at this happy person, she’s happy and successful, why aren’t you? because you look like that, you should look like her. I know, you need a bra like her! buy my bra! You still look like that? Well, that guy can help! he helped her too! Buy some boobs! Bigger boobs! she bought some boobs and look how happy and successful she is and all the men love her! men don’t love you? maybe your stomach can use some work too! why don’t you buy this to help you with that??? …it’s never ending, there will always be new products and trends, and the sooner you realize your thoughts are being influenced by people trying to profit off your problems that really shouldn’t be problems, you only think it’s a problem because they told you its a problem, the better you will feel and the more money you will save.
So jealous of small boobs 😅 It's abdolutely horrible to do jumping jacks and have your whole chest area feel like it's gonna rip and fly away. And honestly, it looks terrible when doing it. Besides, buying proper sports bras for your body type is not easy at all and not that cheap. I have to choose bras that compress because otherwise my boobs look like they are flapping and going to take off. Also, it hurts. It fucking hurts. I'm expecting some visible sagging in the next 10 years.
As a woman currently cramming her boobs into a 36DDD, because I refuse to drop another $300 on bras....these are soooo overrated 😭 I would love to be a D cup again. Prayed for big boobs everyday when I was like 12, idk why God decided to grant me that ×4 instead of world peace and $3 million dollars 🤨 I'm also noticing women are opting for these gross pornstar, bimbo boobs. Saweetie, Cardi B, Teala Dunn, etc look freaking ridiculous
This is so true. I really regret getting mine. My first set was too big and looked ridiculous. I developed a capsular contracture and would get terrible shooting pains. I'd be sitting in class and would audibly yelp- it was that bad. I had them removed and was left with saggy meat sacks. I tried to learn to love them but eventually caved and got very small implants. They look fine, but my original breasts were so much nicer. I miss the natural slope of my old breasts. And I miss how I looked so sexy in a pushup bra back then. Now if I show cleavage it just looks trashy. And oh, how I hated not being able to breastfeed my twins! And the judgment I've received from so many women who ask "did you breastfeed?" (a question that is quite invasive and totally inappropriate, IMO).
Do not get implants.
I 💯 agree with you. However, I do have to say I wish I can find a way to correct my breasts after breastfeeding for two years for myself 🥹 I love my body but geez pregnancy just ruins so much lol. And I’m not comfortable with implants.
I’m so glad I put in the work to learn to love my body, instead of getting all the plastic surgery I thought I needed back in my body dysmorphic days.
Any man who rejects a woman because her boobs are too small, too big, or fake needs to grow his own pair. And then get punched in them.
