This is something that’s usually caused by weight gain, then weight loss. You’re left with a lot of excess tissue and a general sag. It’s unfortunate and I feel sympathy for her.

Yep - a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips (or tits in her case)

Is this (attached) woman's bra a little loose?  The top part seems too big, like she has lost weight or has the wrong size.

I also have a general question - and feel free to ignore it if you feel uncomfortable to answer it.  Having a larger bust - is it a blessing or a curse?   I'd imagine clothes could be tricky - a strapless evening gown may prove problematic.  And getting a blouse to fit.

But then again. There must be some upsides?  The attention you get from men - I guess that is a double edged swore too.

Yeah. It looks a little bit loose. Probably as much to do with the design of the item than anything else.

As for having big boobs. I’d say it’s more a curse than a blessing. I don’t mean it’s terrible, but I think I’ve commented before on other threads about how having big boobs can present a lot of problems - not just fashion-related, but discomfort, unwanted attention etc. I’ve said before that I’ve ordered up a dress, only to try it on and feel a total mess in it. However, there are some plus sides - having a nice figure/shape/curve (when it behaves) is nice. And, my husband absolutely loves them - but given the option, I’d probably prefer a smaller size. It’s why I have difficulty understanding women who go super-sized - it must be physically and mentally tortuous; any advantage is surely outweighed by the numerous disadvantages.

For me, they’re just a part of my body - like my ears or my feet. For you (and many of the denizens of the BEA), they’re a source of fascination and arousal.

I appreciate the reply. It was International Women's Day recently so I thought my question would be kinda appropriate. As a man, who doesn't have to deal with the issues of a large bust - I used to think big boobs were something all women would love to have.  It is nice to be a bit more enlightened on this.  To that extent - I will make an effort to not look at a girls chest (it is traumatically hard not too at times) when I meet someone with a large set.  I don't want to make them feel self-conscious or uncomfortable.

You're not the only one - I can't see having a huge fake chest is healthy.  I also feel the same about a lot of body modifications. I wouldn't have a tattoo. And there is no way I'd take performance enhancing drugs just to be buff.

For me, they’re just a part of my body - like my ears or my feet. For you (and many of the denizens of the BEA), they’re a source of fascination and arousal.

That is a good and healthy attitude - I feel the same about myself. 

I think it is okay to be fascinated by big boobs, and I am.  And I have no idea why I feel this way - it is something quite subconscious.
 
Many busty women are making a good living showing what they have. I support their freedom to do so.  I was reading a thread on Reddit, it was in UK personal finance.  The poster was asking how to lower their tax bill from the 150K they were making on Only Fans a year.   Study for 10 years to be a Doctor and become a surgeon, or flash a big set of boobs and earn about the same.  What an odd world we are in.

The best way to be is just be kind, appropriate and respectful.

I agree. 

So I saw this bra and pants combo - the bows on the bra straps.  These are going to be uncomfortable if you are wearing this under a blouse, I say that, as I presume they will.  I think it looks lovely, but why would a woman buy this if to only dance round the house in it? 

And, while we are here - how big is her bust?  I was looking at the door behind and I don't know if you can gauge her height by that or not. 

PS not that I am against a women dancing round the house in undies.

Well, it’s nice enough and looks reasonably supportive - although, it’s not my choice (I’m not keen on thongs either). I understand why women wear stuff like this though - it’s cute and sexy, and if it’s reasonably comfortable on, then why not wear it and feel good about yourself? And, on the plus side, it adds some spark in the bedroom.

I’d say she’s possibly a 30F, maybe a 28G/GG?

Interesting point about the little bows - they’re usually just decorative (us girls like frills, bows, lace, straps, clasps and other cute things) - but the bow in the middle of a bra (when they have one) is a bark back to the days when the bone/busk was inserted into a corset - the best way to hide the opening in the material was to top it off with a little bow.

Works for me!

Thanks...

Not just you girls.  I see there is a story today in the news of Chinese men modelling lingerie - maybe this could start a trend of mens lingerie.

I wondered why it was put there.

One question I have been meaning to ask you.  The Playtex adds on TV used to say as a tag line lifts and separates.  I get the lift part , but separate?  Isn't that an uncomfortable way to have your boobs - it seems modern bras mainly do the opposite of separate.  Was it all just marketing.

I vaguely remember the Playtex ads (the one I recall the most is “cross your heart”). Lift and separate was probably more to do with giving you a certain shape. What good bras do now is lift and support.

I found the add.  This was 1982.  Only $8.99 - bargain.

I've had the attached picture in my pictures folder for a few weeks now. It look comfortable - albeit the sheer material looks out of place to me. What are your thoughts?

That’s the ad (dubbed with US voices).

The bodyshaper is gorgeous - it’s the Charnos Bioform thong body (remember I mentioned Bioform a few pages back?). I’m not entirely convinced this was an actual item you could purchase though - I think it might have been a modification (note the model’s public hair showing - this tells me it’s not an official Charnos photo, because lingerie models usually wear liners on sheer briefs, or the photos get edited).

The reason I don’t think it’s a real item is because I’d have purchased one if it was. There was definitely a Bioform bra exactly like this, and a thong to match - but I don’t ever recall seeing a bodyshaper. But I could be wrong.

[Hiram]

That’s the ad (dubbed with US voices).

I'd not noticed that, I assumed it was a US add.  I can see the lip sync now.

It is - I can see why you'd like wearing one.

I must admit I wondered about the pubic hair.  I think this is what I found notable and usual in this piece of clothing.  It doesn't seem practicable.

The reason I don’t think it’s a real item is because I’d have purchased one if it was.

I did a reverse image search and that was the only image I could find.  But the rabbit hole I'm in now after doing that with some lovely lingerie.

I see there is quite a variation of hip cuts - this one is quite extreme.  I think this looks great - but like a lot of women clothes, practicability seems to be an afterthought.  I feel sure that'd not stay in place with normal wear.

Yeah. It looks gorgeous, but (for me) thongs of any kind are like cheesewire. I can’t understand how anyone can wear them.

Bodyshapers, on the other hand, are amazing. I don’t wear them as much as I used to, but when you find a suitable one, they are terrific under garments.

I did try a thong once - its not for me either.  Haha yes cheesewire is a good analogy.

How are they for comfort - I assume there is some added pressure in some places - if I have the whole concept right that is?  How are they for someone with a bigger bust?

I wonder if you can get something like that for men (not for me haha) not to look feminine but to shape a man's body. 

[Hiram]

A zipper?

[Margaret]

A zipper?

Goodness. I’ve had a front zipper on a corset, but never a basque. Takes all sorts I guess.

Bodyshapers are generally quite comfortable. Snug. They tend to really help with bigger boobs (assuming you get the right size/fit etc), keeping not just your boobs in shape but also the rest of you.

I was just having a look here:  https://body-shaper.co.uk/  They can be made [it seems] to really alter a woman's shape.
