You're most welcome

But seriously, if that is what you saw all of the time in magazines, on beaches UNhidden by clothes because they're not socially acceptable, and on tv. it wouldn't be so shocking.

Like, isn't it strange to see a very slim woman on tv... in an erotic role, undressing.. and tada! Tiny bumps with nipples - but isn't it physically normal for someone with very low bodyfat to have small breasts, generally?

Plus on the other parts of the site there is some great information. There is too much misinformation about breasts out there. Come to think about it, there is too much misinformation about sex for young women out there too.. but I'm getting off topic and into a peevish subject.

take care,
Meg

Just found this thread -- found it very interesting...

I simply do not lose very much breast size when my weight goes down -- currently I am a 34 DDD (at 150#), the smallest I've been (adult) is a 32 DD (I weighed about 117 pounds, much too thin for my 5'7").

My gynecologist said that he would recommend breast reduction (because of deeply grooved shoulders and a constant sore back) and has given me some specialists' names -- I'm definitely considering it (as long as the insurance covers it!) -- however, the comment on the amount of weight reduction has me wondering -- after all, I have a narrow chest (32-34"), so my breasts are not as large as someone with say a 40" chest measurement.

I am really interested in anyone's comments who has gone through this -- my goals include 1)no more shoulder-strap grooves, 2)fewer backaches, 3) no more underwire grooves, and 4) the ability to wear a bathing suit!

Since we'll be retiring to Florida in a couple of years, #4 is important to me -- currently there are NO bathing suits that I look decent in. I'm an almost-60 year old woman, who has breastfed 6 children (each for over a year); I don't know if the extended breastfeeding is what did this to me? or just my genetics?

Thanks for any (serious ) comments.
