And what a sight it was!

[blas]

I don't see the point in getting any larger than C cups if you're an A cup and want bigger boobs. That should be enough of a difference to turn heads!

[Shabo]

Wow. This girl is going to have a few problems when she gets older. Either she's going to have severe back problems from the stress her boobs put on her bra (which in turn puts on her back) OR she is going to have some saggy ones.

My guess is that she is probably a stripper or dancer of that variety, but that is not always the case.

And Rahmotta, I would think your friend would be happier with a smaller size. I've never seen size H carried anywhere; they must have been a pain to find. Plus it probably hurts less to have those... I would think anyway.

As for size thats a matter of personal taste. What makes me sad is when a woman who is larger goes through a reduction not because she wants to but because society thinks she is a freak or has a boyfriend who doesnt appreciate her for who she is. (My cousin stands 5'2" had H cups and went down to a D or so because of her fiance who still wound up leaving her and now she regrets having gone through the trouble and pain of the surgury just because someone else pressured her into it.) Or vice versa and goes up to something she isnt happy with just because of what someone else decides is a good idea for her.

To each their own with their own bodies.

I think in the long run your cousin will be more comfortable but sadly now breast feeding should she want to is out - did her doctor warn her about that? My sis waited until she had kids to have hers reduced for that reason.

A friend of mine has I-cups naturally. She has to shoehorn them into a reducer and they are still ridiculously huge. Normally I'd say it'd be unattractive but she's happy with who she is and THAT is what can make a woman sexy: satisfaction with the self no matter what. But getting pornstar fetish boobs installed is just not sexy.

I'm realizing even as I type that this post doesn't say exactly what I want it to.

Oh well.

Hmmm... a thread on breasts... time to put in my $0.02!!

Okay, seriously. Surgery in general is a bad idea for boobs, up or down, except as a last resort. Got back pain and figure you need a reduction? For the love of god go check with a specialist and make sure you're wearing a bra that's properly fitted first. Even if you DO get the reduction, you'll know for sure it was necessary rather than risk ending up with a botched surgery and awful results. You really only get one shot at surgery like that, and once it's botched, that's it.

And if you don't feel you're big enough? Again check the wardrobe first. Even completely replacing your wardrobe will be cheaper than surgery. Find a trained professional to give you clothing advice and give that a try first. You'd be surprised what you can do with what you've got if you're just properly dressed up.

And lastly, if you DO decide to get surgery, up or down, do it because YOU want it. And double check your own thoughts on this. It's easy to talk yourself into believe you want it, just because you've been getting negative responses from spouses/family/friends/co-workers. Dress yourself up to the nines, step in front of a mirror, look yourself over and then ask 'are bigger/smaller boobs really what this needs?'

There. Not the testosterone-fueled 'YAR BIG BOOBS GOOD!' response I guess. (And big boobs ARE good damnit!), but honestly unless they're seriously out of whack, they're not worth $10,000 to fix. A happy, confident girl is far more attractive than a miserable wreck with bra-melons anyday.

Auntiem and shabo: Well according to my cousin she greatly regrets being mutilated for someone else's ideals of what she should look like. And the term mutilated is what she used. No she cannot breast feed and is unable to get implants to get back to her normal size (again using her words). She is quite a bit less happy with her self image and would gladly go back to being an H cup in a heartbeat. Not every woman who has large ones is in pain or discomfort or wantign to reduce herself. My cousin hates the way she looks now and wants to go back but cannot. She was even in therapy a while back because of it. Fortunately she found a man who is loving and supportive and stands by her no matter what but it was still soemthign painful that she says she will regret to her dying day.

According to my wife a properly fitted bra does not cause back pain no matter how large the breasts. My wife is a DD and goes braless quite often as its just as comfortable to her as a poorly fitted bra.

And I'll agree with Swordsman its not the size of the breast but whether the person with them is happy and satisfied with themselves that makes the person attractive. A self confident (note self-confident not egotistical) woman is better than one being told she is a freak and beat down because she doesnt conform to what society or someone thinks is attractive. Humanity needs to get a grip and their collective heads out of their arses and realize that each person has their own body and each person is attractive in their own way. Not everyone needs to be a stick thin barbie doll or a pneuymatic porn star to be attractive but if that person thinks they do and wants to do so of their own freewill then everyone else needs to just back off and deal with it.

Anythign else on this and it should probably be taken to fratchign as this thread is drifiting wildly off course and I'm not helping matters jumping on the rudder like I am.

Ah, that fine old phrase comes to mind. Eventually, every thread on CS will turn into a boob thread.

This one started as one, so it had a better chance than average.

.

I can't even imagine what an I-cup would look like...

I do like the term "installed"...that made me giggle.

I'm not going to speculate on what this girl might do for a living; she was with a guy who I took to be her boyfriend...who appeared to be a fairly normal guy, not that that means anything..

A friend of mine has I-cups naturally. She has to shoehorn them into a reducer and they are still ridiculously huge.

My wife used to be like that. Depending on who's scale you use, she may be past that by now.

May I recommend for your friend that if she has a good sewing machine available (by good, I mean able to sew jeans), that she might want to try making corsets. Ones sized for herself (it is a hard job, but possible). Out of a heavy, well wearing fabric, not lingerie-style.

We've found that lace-up seems to be the best way to go. Just use very heavy duty eyelets.

Normally I'd say it'd be unattractive but she's happy with who she is and THAT is what can make a woman sexy: satisfaction with the self no matter what.

Yup.

[Swordsman422]

I-cup looks like she's got a pair of prize-winning watermelons stuffed into her sweater. My GF has actually seen them and says they sag without pancaking to her beltline because her delts (I think) just aren't up to the job of supporting them.

She's thought about a reduction before but decideed against it because they are part of what make her who she is. And according to her, cleavage is the best pocket ever.

I can't even imagine larger than I-cup, Gurndigarn. That's impressive.

Cleavage is great because you don't always end up sitting on a chair with a cup holder. Gotta stick my beer somewhere!

[Dragon_Dreamer]

For me, they DO cause major back problems, and even my doctor has reccommended I get a reduction, for my health. Also, I think there's a type of reduction surgery that has an increased chance of allowing breastfeeding. Keyhole, I think it's called. Basically, they cut out only the fat, and avoid severing the milk ducts. That's the type I plan to get.

Useless without pictures, Blas.

That's about right.

And that's about what she decided, as well.

It's been mentioned around her. I don't think she's looking at it, even though she does have health issues. It's kind of like me and my teeth. One of my molars never formed, so the tooth above it is further down than usual, because there's nothing below it to push it up. I've had dental people trying to pull it because it's useless without the matching one... but it's part of me, damn it, useless or not.

And her wanting to breastfeed isn't likely to be an issue since I got fixed.

You should still be careful. My fave ex has been fixed, and was/is going through chemo...and has a baby daughter with his ex-fiancee.
