A little embarrassing. Ladies?

[Empathy]

Do any of you ladies have any tips for drooping breasts? I'll admit I don't wear a bras NEAR as much as I should. Lately almost never. So I've noticed that they're starting to look rather unattractive. Have any ideas other than a breast lift and push-ups? You think if I start wearing a bras they might go back up a little bit? Thanks guys.

Hey. Wearing a bra can't hurt. Probably will help in the long run.

I'm so glad i'm a guy sometimes. We dont wear bras, in fact we dont really wear underwear.

Boxers DONT COUNT.

Furthermore, i can take my shirt off in public and get away with it scotch free.

Inane,

 

We wimmins can take our shirts off in public and walk away with profit!

 

Plus, none of them pesky balls to get all sweaty and itchy...though, seems like a satisfying hobby to scratch 'em.

I read an article on womens health and they said wearing bras are healthier for your breasts than not wearing one. I would suggest an underwire bra with padding. Not to sound like a mother or preachy you really should wear bras to keep your breasts from droping that way if you have a lump you can detect it easier. Hope this helps.

Maaaaaan sometimes I really love to take a day off work, grab a cuppa joe, plop down on the couch, hit the telly, and scratch to my hearts content.

Hey I think thats the same article I read. Think it mentioned something about taking bras off is healthier for ME.

A good push up bra will definitely improve the uplift.

Treat yourself and try on some nice bras. It is amazing the difference some of them can do. I wear bras during the day to improve support and appearance and relax without them at night.

I also recommend a padded supporting bra. Go to a GOOD shop, where they can really take good measurements. Most women wear the wrong size.

It's a popular misconception that guy's packages get all itchy all the time. Mine dont, and as far as i know most guy's dont either. As far as sweat goes, your areas get just as sweaty as ours do

A good support bra is seriously needed!! Go into a good dept store...get fitted and get yourself a nice push up bra!! You will feel seriously sexier!!

 

Unfortunately we gals cant fight gravity!!! Unless we live on the moon. Not wearing a bra means the weight of your breasts get pulled down.....

 

There are some exercises aswell that help lift the breasts = worth checking out!

[RayKay]

You definitely should wear a bra. The reason breasts can begin to droop is because the Cooper's Ligament begins to stretch as there is no support, and you lose that natural lift due to gravity and excessive movement. And breasts of all sizes can droop.

 

I know for runners, a great supporting bra is absolutely necessary to prevent the range of motion breasts would go through without one that would cause more damage for example. It took me a lot of trial and error to find the best bra's for running for me!

 

Wearing a good supporting bra really helps the ligament stay strong and not stretch out. Of course age will have an effect too, as will pregnancy, breastfeeding, but great supporting bra's can really help reduce the impact.

 

I would also suggest doing exercises like bench press, fly's, wide and narrow pushups and pullups - these strengthen your pectorals and give a natural "breast lift".

 

If you are wearing the RIGHT sized bra (get fitted!) you really should not even feel it, it should feel very comfortable.

I have heard the opposite; that wearing bras is not as healthy as being braless. I read a study on it before, but I cannot find it at the moment. I will keep looking.

 

Also, this same study showed that wearing a bra does absolutely nothing to prevent sagging even if you began wearing a bra the moment you grew AAAs.

 

Found the book relating to the study on Amazon: link removed

I have faithfully worn my over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder since I was 9 and it didn't make one bit of difference. Before my first breast reduction ( I am planning on another one in the near-to-distant future) even with a push up bra, gravity was enough to make my ladies move south for the winter (and the spring, summer, and fall, too)..

 

I think it has more to do with size than anything, but that aside, exercise like steroid-junkie and look up the streatches for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Whether you have it or not, I always advocate to my patients the importance of keeping your T/O well streatched to avoid neck, shoulder, and back subluxation...

Interesting name. I wonder if it named after someone or if it has to do with making barrels?

[BrokenWingedFaery]

Bras won't reverse the drooping at all, they will help a bit, but breasts are naturally going to droop some.

 

If you do exercises that build up the pectoral muscles, it'll help. I can vouch for this, since I always lifted heavy stuff with my right side and that breast has better shape than the other.

 

 

Edited because "go" and "do" are two different words.

I wonder if spending extensive periods on the moon would help with anti sag or in an anti gravity capsule.

Nah... As soon as you reentered the earths atmosphere they'd be right back where they were....

Now an anti-gravity bra would work... hmmm....

 

I said it first!!!

[MI_Shell]

What a super idea, vandgsmom, I'll put in an order!

Agreed. It won't be an overnight solution, but definitely one that is longer-term.

I'm sure the moon thing would help with that whole "Living" problem that seems to be so common these days!

[Empathy]

Well, it looks like I'm left with exercises. Which I can't do since I haven't had ANY energy. I'll have to get started on my BOOB exercises as soon as I get better. lol
