I'm still small but I feel so loose and soft IYGWIM - will that remain? I tried on some new bras the other day (I keep falling out of the bottom of this one so I think I have the wrong size  ) and a couple of them just flattened me completely to my chest - is it my short straw or will I get firmer in time?-------------  |

SOrry hun but that is as firm as they are going to get at least until you get preg again or if you ever put on loads of weight.

After having breast-fed 6 kids, the standing joke with my mum is that she's got 2 flattened milk cartons which she can tuck into her pants
Haha ------------- My wee girl is the love and light of my life!

I just went and got fitted properly at Bendon the other day, and the lady there worked her magic and the girls suddenly became like they were back in the day pre children I ended up buying the bra and it's made such a difference...they look normal-ish again. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

All I can say is padded bra's with extra lift. Mine are smaller now then what they were before I had kids I can if I wanted to fit into a training bra hence the padding with extra life the only time i have ever liked mine is when I am ready to pop with Milk.

My mum hates hers after having four kids, she said they are like flat and has to kind of tuck them into her bra so im not sure if they really go back to how they were. My mum is getting a boob job for her birthday next year lol, she is very excited about it, she just wants them to look nice in her bra again she isnt getting huge ones, she wants a B cub or something. ------------- |

I don't think I'll mind so much about the floppy but dear god please don't let them stay the size they are now!!
I am totally going to save for a reduction once I finish having babies (at approx $12,500 it's going to take a while). I dream about wearing shoestring strap tops and not shelling out $95+ on special sized bras. -------------

| Mine have only just started to 'firm up' after 2 years. In fact, I look forward to getting my period because they increase a cup size for about 10 days haha It's awesome! |

Well I am more that happy to give some of mine away. I'm only an E but I would rather be a big C or D. Every time I watch Dr 90210 I want to fly over there and get Dr Rey to fix mine up. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

| i didnt breastfeed but mine are huge and heading to the floor. i hate lying on my back in bed, they could almost go under my armpits, sooo horrible. would love them to be a bit perkier and wouldnt mind loosing a size. when i was loosing weight this year they shrunk a size but didnt firm up at all. i remember on the movie grease they did execises to firm them up, might have to give it a go! |

After Paris wasn't too bad, but having breastfed ayja for 15 mths, i'm about the same now too. lolol for me to be pert and firm again i'd have to roll em up and pin em to my collarbone. lol
two words...... chicken fillets I swear by these now, fair anough they don't do much once you're naked, but they fill out tops nicely. Available from farmers for $20 in half or full cup size, they either place at the sides or underneath and push what you do have up to fill out that bra again. especially good with the shaped t-shirt bras. that and they do increase you by a cup size. so i can now go up to a 12D when i want., I used to think my boobs were by best fashion accessory, lol they made any neckline good. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Did you know its actually pregnancy not breastfeeding that ruins your boobs? My dr told me that to make me feel a bit better.
I think mine are the same as before but with half the stuffing missing I'd hate to see what they look like when I'm not preg or bfing

lol. yeah it is pregnancy cos all the nice fat in them dissapears to make way for milk ducts.. whether you're gonna use em or not. And once fat is completely gone, it doesn't come back to the same amount.

I've always gone back to my C cup once I've finished b/feeding, but they are just sooo floppy. No perkyness at all. I hate having bigger boobs when b/feeding & can't wait to get back to my C cup.
My sister on the other hand was a B cup, & is now an A. She's not impressed at all. She wanted a boob job too until she found out they only last up to 15 yrs. So need to be all over again by then. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
