A Blog About Boobs

My chest is small! Yep, hardly a 32A. I didn't really care about it before because I was always fit, but recently because of certain events in my life (plus some rude remarks) I've been hung up about my size. So, I started doing a lot of research as to opinions of chest sizes as well as tips on how to possibly make them bigger and while doing that I've even stumbled across some interesting theories and possible explanations to the chest size complex.
Now, I've seen a lot of writing on this topic that received a lot of negative feedback but I'm going to say now that I'm not trying to offend anyone or have a bias, I'm only using info I've found. So let's start with a long lived question:
Does size matter?
I've looked at sites for women and I've looked at sites for men on forums or articles (to which people wrote comments) about chest size. It seems that on the sites for women the women and the men are much more sensitive and open minded. They usually have positive comments or if it is against the topic, still often show that it is just an opinion and they don't mean any harm.
However! On sites for men (such as Askmen.com) I found that both the men and women (sometimes more so the women!) are more harshly honest, and sometimes just harsh. But all in all it changed how I thought about chest size. I admit though that with some comments, they made me feel terrible and think that all people were like this or thought that way, but then some really made sense and made me feel good.
Here are some to show the stresses and difficulties (but also pluses) of what women go through with their chests:
Negatives for small chested women (mostly from men):
-Not only are you put down by men, but your girl friends might even be worse
-You can be pretty, but you will never be sexy, you have the body of a child or boy which makes any guy that likes you a homo or pedophile
-A guy who says size doesn’t matter is only whipped and in denial (in a relationship, before and after a relationship he will be looking for big breasts, he only says that to be nice to you
-Your boyfriend may love he but he might not be attracted to you and will need other "things" to help satisfy him
-Your boyfriend may love you, but will be looking at girls that have more chest than you
-You should stop trying to compete with chestier girls because in the same room or next to them they will get all the attention and you will be invisible
-A lot of men who say they like small chests, think that a C cup is small
-Have to do more to accommodate for our lack of chest
-They're more fun and desirable in general
-Looks mean everything and can put you higher in life
Negatives for large chested women (mostly from women):
-Back pain and difficulty finding bras that fit
-Insecurity about how they’re breasts look when naked or even in clothes(how they fit, stretch marks, movement etc) plus worrying whether they look appropriate
-Are afraid of how their chest looks when men expect the medias perfect portrayal of large boobs
-Negative attention
-They might make you look bigger than you actually are or you might actually be curvy. People may also assume you have gotten work done
-Get in the way during sex and sometimes feel men are inexperienced with them or intimidated
-May want them smaller but cant or are pressured into believing ‘bigger is better’
-Feel they might be judged or that they’re looks are all that matter to everyone
Positives for large chested women:
-You get attention!
-Your breasts give you more sexual options and don’t feel insecure naked because men love to be able to see them in general
-As everyone knows, lots and lots of men love more chest -> and your partner will love showing you off
-Even if they’re a little saggy or imperfect, there are men that love that too!
-A good man will love you for you and the boobs would be an added bonus ;)
Positives for large chested women:
-You get attention!
-Your breasts give you more sexual options and don’t feel insecure naked because men love to be able to see them in general
-As everyone knows, lots and lots of men love more chest -> and your partner will love showing you off
-Even if they’re a little saggy or imperfect, there are men that love that too!
-A good man will love you for you and the boobs would be an added bonus ;)
Positives for small chested women:
-There ARE men that love and prefer smaller chests(even flat ones), they think that they’re sexier, more proportionate, and can be handled well. There’s a lot of men, they can’t all be the same
-A lot of guys just care about the breasts and nipples, not the size
-You don’t have to wear a bra and with the right top men say that a women without a bra can be more intriguing than large ones in a bra
-It’s easier to look classy, and not provocative
-A lot of times it’s in your head and men do find you and your ‘small chest’ attractive
-Less of a risk that you’ll sag with old age
-People can see you for you and not just your chest, or they might even notice your other features more
-You wouldn’t want negative attention and someone who likes you for you and not the size of your chest anyways-> if the right guy really loves you, he genuinely will not care
-It’s not your fault! You were born like that so love it and find a man who does too
-It’s not your fault it’s bio and you might have a cute butt – Will be explained later J
So as you can see there is a wide range of opinions and I’ve thought a lot about them, made opinions, and realizations that I COULD point out, but I think you’ve probably made your own so I’ll leave it at that hehe.
Interesting theories:
Having perplexed many, there have been quite a few theories made. Some are proven and some were made because they appeared logical.
- Men are attracted to larger breasts because of the animal attraction. Breasts are only mammary glands, remember that they’re really only there to care for your children (makes you wonder why everyone makes them such a big deal) so bigger breasts supposedly mean they will be good providers.
Same can be said for men right? Why are women usually more attracted to well built men? Because they look like good providers (back then it would be hunter). We should all have evolved by now don’t you think? We’re not cave people anymore J
- People are more attracted to larger breasts because they were not breast fed long enough. In society today weaning is done as soon as possible.
- I’ve noticed that a lot of small chested women (including myself) say that they don’t mind their small chest because they have a great butt that guys love! As it turns out, because the attraction to large breasts is biological, for women who don’t have much chest their wide hips are there to compensate and show that they are fertile
Things to do to have a healthy chest…and make it bigger or smaller
The most important this is having a HEALTHY chest
For a healthy chest you must make sue sure it is getting the proper vitamins. Vitamins A, E, and C are good for your skin.
You can also take herbal supplements or teas to ensure that these vitamins go to your chest or regulate your hormones. Not only is this good for your moods and PMS (as well as MANY other things) but it may also help with adjusting the size of your chest. Women with small chests might have too much testosterone and women with large ones may have too much estrogen, so by taking herbs like fennel, saw palmetto, or fenugreek (found in health food stores and in breast enhancement products) they can help regulate those hormones and take you to a proper size.
Massaging your breasts will also promote blood flow to that area while also ensuring that you check for lumps and bumps. I’m not sure but I’ve heard there is a certain way to massage. You should do this 5 minutes a day.
Do exercises. There are many that you can find online that are good for your chest (and whole body of course). Not only will you be healthier and active but it can produce muscles that will keep everything up. For small chests the exercises can make them bigger because the muscle tissue will build up behind the fats, some even help create cleavage or make them rounder.
You can also find lists online of what foods create more estrogen and which suppress it. For example white rice, tapioca, fruits (except some), onions, and many more, suppress estrogen (this shocked me, because I’m Asian and eat a lot of white rice). While animal flesh, sunflower seeds, papayas, lavender contain more. If you have a small chest because of your size you can also try eating foods with lots of healthy fat to gain weight such as in milk, papayas, or avocados.
I myself have been starting to do all of these and feel great. I'll tell you if I start to look great too ;) I hope this helped anyone out there who is insecure about their chest size and that not only have I changed your perspectives on it but helped you take to a healthier lifestyle! Have fun and love yourself!
What do you think of the comments about chest size, both negative and positive, from the people on the forums? Which ones do you agree with? Disagree with?

To each her own. I have 34 DD and a hip to waist ratio of .71 I am very happy with my body... and so is my bf !! lol.
Negatives for large breasted women: All true, except! "-May want them smaller but cant or are pressured into believing ‘bigger is better’" (according to my boyfriend.) I was a size C at the age of 15.. The attention I got.. ick.
Positive for large breasted women: -As everyone knows, lots and lots of men love more chest -> and your partner will love showing you off (the showing off part? he wants me REALLY covered up, because of the negative attention.)-Even if they’re a little saggy or imperfect, there are men that love that too! (I don't know about this...)
Imma 34B and have a butt, I guess thats alright for an Asian =)
I'm pretty happy with my boobs, never hated them =P
I usually like my chest size, even though it's really hard to find bras that fit because 32C isn't that common of a size and I'm a little big for that anyways. I'm really tall and I still have wider hips
@GiantUnicorn@xanga - I am the same way.
Ughh.. I would do anything to have a set of even B's. But nooo. Lol.
@MakeMePrettyx3@xanga - I would be the happiest person in the world with a B!!!! I'm only guessing God made me an A cup because He knew I'd feel too good about myself and dress very slutty. The only reasoning I can give myself. hahaha
i'm 34A, and sometimes i like them, sometimes i don't. i really dislike the shape but it changes sometimes (weird???).. guys NEVER cared that mine are small..guys just love boobs no matter how big they are. my hips are not wide at all...and my stomach's flat so my small ones arent out of proportion on me...even if i were to get them bigger i would only go very very slightly bigger. As and Bs are the best sizes to have!
being a 34A, i've always wished i had a little more... but i also realize that i'm young. well, young enough to still be growing :). and at 5'3, barely 110 pounds, anything over a B would look way outta proportion on me. plus, i realize getting boobs would probably require weight gain in other areas. which i'm not willing to do :)
I hate the shape of my boobs. I am a C cup and I don't even have cleavage! Wtf? My boobs aren't nice and round unless well... I'm aroused or cold.. I hate laying on my back because of the way they shift to the side, though I never had a boyfriend complain about them. I have really wide hips, I've always been commented on my ass, haha. I would do anything for round breasts and cleavage. I have a friend who is a 34B and has the perfect boobs! Ugh, it makes me so angry :(
I have big boobs, and hate them. I have no hips, and nothing EVER fits me. They make me look fat.
It's sad to hear that people truly believe their boyfriends would look at other women because they are flat-chested.
I would like to say I accept my chest (because I do), but the truth is I think I have the perfect medium that almost everybody wants. a 32C. So I guess I don't really understand either side of the issue, I just feel for the women who have lower self-esteem because they don't feel they are "perfect" enough.
@FallenReign@xanga - I'm a 32C, and I find that certain 34B's will fit (I own mostly 34B's actually). I'm a small-ish C though, so I don't know if this tactic will work for you!
And I think we're pretty similar on the hips thing, too. I guess it's because being a 32 means you have a really skinny ribcage. My hips are wide(r), and I just stay skinny all the way up. hahaha I'm 5'8, if that's similar to your height at all.
@PenaltyLife@xanga - Yeah, really good ones can fit (I think the one I'm wearing now is haha).
And yeah, the lady who fit me told me I had the "ribcage of a 12 year old". I was like, what? But it's whatever, it makes my waist seem smaller and my hips bigger in comparison. And I'm just a little taller, haha around 5'10 (or 5'11 as some people insist ha). :]
I had breast reduction from a G cup down to a D cup. I'm still considered "big" but I'm so much smaller and I love it. My boyfriend is more of an ass and leg kinda guy so he doesn't mind the scars on my chest. He's the only one that sees them (besides my doctor) so the benefits for me going smaller were much better.
And I know a guy who will only have sex with girls with A cups. He feels boobs get in the way lol. Yep, every guy is different.
Reading the book "Thanks for the Mammaries" sort of made me appreciate being largeish breasted. Helped with appreciating that different women feel differently about what they are given, and we need to learn to appreciate & accept ourselves, and our breast size. People always like will play on our insecurities, whether large or smaller breasted, but the people that matter aren't going to care about it! It is funny when you ask men if they're an "ass or breast man". And they really do all have different opinions on what they like.. heck, they prolly don't know WHAT they like :P
Good post :)
I don't care what anyone says about it. I like my C cups just fine and have never been bothered by others opinions one way or the other. I think thats what is most important because they are permanently attached to me and not whatever guy I'm dating.
32DD here. BIG pain in my ass.
I would much rather be a B cup.
Plus, then I could wear cute bras(If I were a B)
Also, I have big hips.
i'm a 32 A, and i had the same feelings.
i focused on the negatives of my small chest for awhile,
but have come to love who i am!
I'm glad someone else has discovered the pros.
+i agree with the hips comment.
I basically grew boobs over night...when I was like 13!
I went from the tomboy...to a symbol of sex instantly. At first I tried to hide them,but that didnt work long. SO i embraced them and NEVER looked back!
I love my 36C breasts,although sometimes my back hurts...and sometimes I get suuper sweaty.
But I definitely think its worth it,because I get SOOO much attention. Sometimes too much. case in point check this out.. myspace.com/let_go_of_yesterday
I do often worry about looking slutty sometimes because w/smaller boobs u can wear anything! But with my boobs you have to be careful....
One thing i do envy is that smaller chests dont HAVE to wear a bra! I'd love to do that!! But my back would hurt,and my boobs might look <> LOL
That's WAY too much thinking about your boobs. You look very pretty in your profile picture..yes there will always be some boob-obsessed people out there but personality, confidence, and being down to earth IMO are the best features someone can have.
32B, here. I just became a B, thankyouverymuch, hahaha. I think my curves are starting to kick in this year (a little late if you ask me because I am 23), and I think I'm starting to be content now that I'm finally at least a B. I actually have a cleavage and can now wear low cut tops without looking like a board or a guy. It's kind of nice. I am also on the skinny side, which I love a lot, so my boob size works for me. Plus, like others have said, I can run and be athletic without them bouncing around, and that's nice, lol.
hm. i have a 35B which is really inconvienent. -___-"
haha. 34Bs are too small, and 36Bs are too big.
and i'm kinda short (like 5'1) so i look unporportional.
but usually i'm pretty okay with my body :)
easiest way is to become anorexic then get a boob job
but really, don't get hung up about it. size doesn't matter. proportion does.
the comments that was (mostly men) is absolutly disgusting. not all "men" are sex and chest obsessed little boys....yes little BOYS! there's more to a fucking relationship then tits and sex.....sorry to say. grow the fuck up and stop caring about what everyone else looks like. it's not your body so move along....assholes.
