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

-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!

its funny, when i read "proper size," i was wondering "what IS the proper size?" then it jogged my memory to a converation that my mother and i had about "the perfect body." and now, i dont mean being hollywood skinny. apparently, the hips and bust areas should be the same size, as for the waist, im not sure what the pattern is with relation to hips and bust. i told her my measurements, she told me that i had to lose 6 inches off my waist -_-'. i never did do that though. oh well, point is what IS the proper size?
i don't care that i have a small chest, i think that it's attractive, and i KNOW there are guys out there who don't give a shit how big boobs are.
i'd rather be a woman with small boobs than a man with a small wang. i don't know any girl who would willingly say they like it small on a guy.
EAT THAT SHIT, ASKMEN.COM.
i love the positives that you wrote for small boobies. :)
@perfectsinger18@xanga - well said.
@BellaBacio@xanga - me too! i have the same breast size lol.
i didn't know that big boobs give back aches..
34B & I wish it was C. But oh well :)
Okay, I can honestly say that breast size shouldn't matter. I myself have large breasts and I hate it. I'm always stared at, and I can't ever find a bra that fits. I also have to where large shirts, because medium shirts don't fit over my boobs. It sucks! You should be happy with your chest the way it is.
@cornyonacob@xanga - same here. all the rest of my body is big but for some reason my boobs missed out. its like the woprst of both worlds
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - True. Most 32C bras I see aren't as big as the one I wear. The only 32C that fit me are ones from Anchor Blue. When I get one from like Target or Forever 21 they are too small. And I wear a pushup. T shirt bras annoy me lol
@bmxgirl165@xanga - exactly! I like pushup bras too. I feel like I have more support and more..hm...oommph. lol
i have a 34B. i was hoping to reach a C cup but oh well. :P
@Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga - haha yea! i dont like the way it feels not wearing a pushup bra cuz then i just feel saggy
"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"
You sound pretty bitter, which is due to many hasty generalizations and slippery slope arguments, so I'm not sure how legit the lists of disadvantages/advantages are. Plus, the editing kind of sucks.
i loved this post.
its all really helpful information.i'm 14, and i have 38 DD's. i'm not trying to brag, because i HATE them. every single guy i know loves em', and its all they care about. keep in mind, i'm a friggen' freshman, anddddd.. yeah. the guys are too. nuff' said.
plus, PE is a bitch.
