AVEN #1 fan Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 All boobs sag, sonner or later, but are there any problems related to it? Should I worry about my health if my boobs are saggy? Link to post Share on other sites
Spiritus55 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I would only worry if you become asymmetrical. Just one doing that might be a problem. Link to post Share on other sites

Toothlesss Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Sagging= why I don't wear bras unless I have to. I'm small chested anyway so I can get away with it. Though- for special occasions, I have a sports bra I got a Target that provides a fair amount of compression. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Bras and binders directly cause sagging, it's been medically proven as they weaken the connective tissues that keep breasts firm and naturally, er, "held up". In saying that, if you have naturally large breasts they will sag due to gravity, and some beasts are just naturally saggy no matter how small they are if they are "pendulous" (that's a totally natural breast-type) I am an M cup (US sizing) on a small frame so gravity has obviously had a massive impact on my breasts but there is nothing bad or unhealthy about it, and I personally think sagging breasts are just a sign of natural beauty Link to post Share on other sites

Ettina Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 No problem with sagging, it's perfectly natural and healthy for boobs to sag a bit as you get older. It's just that our society considers saggy boobs unattractive, and plus large saggy boobs can be a bit painful at times. And yes, anything that provides support also increases sagging, because your body decides to get rid of some of the connective tissue since it's not really needed. Just like not exercising makes your muscles atrophy. Link to post Share on other sites

nerdperson777 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 One guy told me that he had I cups and he lost 10 pounds from top surgery so I can't imagine how much heavier M cups are. Link to post Share on other sites
nanogretchen4 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The cup size is based on the size of the breasts relative to the circumference of the chest right below the breasts, not on the absolute size of the breasts. So a 38 D bra has much larger cups than a 28 D. Bras with equal cup sizes have different letters depending on the size of the band. Women with small frames can get up to some pretty impressive letters of the alphabet and are more likely to need custom made bras. Bras with equal cup sizes but unequal band sizes are known as sister sizes. Free bra fitting tip of the day. Link to post Share on other sites

Lord. http://www.curvykate.com/blog/boob_weight_you_wont_believe_what_yours_are/ I'm not sure how accurate that chart is to be honest haha but yeah they're pretty heavy. They cover my entire torso and end at my belly button, each boob is bigger than my babies when they were newborn (but babies are quite small when they're just born). I don't drive so the amount of walking I do prevents me from getting a sore back. Mainly the only pain I experience is from actually wearing bras haha. I always used to want a reduction (I was an F cup by 14 despite being very thin, and I had severe gender/body dysphoria which didn't help) but thankfully by about 26ish I became fully accepting of my body and no longer would wish to risk surgery when exercise and a healthy lifestyle keeps me naturally pain-free On 05/01/2017 at 9:00 AM, ChillaKilla said: Off topic but Jesus Christ Pan, mad respect for you dealing with that size Haha thanks!

A very large woman with say C cup breasts has much larger breasts than a skinny women with C cup breasts due to the difference in band size. I used to be like a 30 band size when I was 17, I've put on weight recently so am about a 36 band now. Size conversions also vary greatly from country to county. I'm a J in the UK and an M in the US. So a 36 M UK is much bigger than a 36 M US. Also that really popular big breast size "DD" is actually only in US sizes, it's an E in the UK. haha so complicated! Link to post Share on other sites
Sally Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Older women tend to sag more because lack of estrogen compromises tissue integrity (everywhere in the body). That's something you really can't avoid, unless you want to take hormone replacements forever and look forward to a much higher risk of breast and uterine cancer. Link to post Share on other sites
helana12_03 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've heard that binders and super tight sports bras could potentially cause sagging if you wear them for years because they break down tissues inside the breast. Link to post Share on other sites

helana12_03 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It could be if you do it wrong or get a binder that's too tight. http://www.ftmtopsurgery.ca/blog/ftm-faq/health-consequences-chest-binding/ I would try the sports bra solution or simply wear an unpadded bra with a tank top over it and get a binder only if safer solutions don't work. If you do decide to get a binder you probably want to make sure to research the risks or how to use it safely and make sure it isn't too small. Link to post Share on other sites

I was comparing cups with some girls in other countries on FetLife when I was on there and we thought DD was E and DDD was F? Haha regardless, it's super confusing trying to buy bras when you can't work out which country one was made in to work out the size conversion! Then of course they all fit differently anyway - such a nightmare T_T I've pretty much given up wearing them now, so much easier Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I actually know very little about bras except that I'm a 32DD and that's higher than average (naturally).

Should I worry about my health if my boobs are saggy? Boobs sag with age kind of like the rest of you, What is considered something to be concerned about is changing in size. If your boobs change in size or if you have firm painful spots in your boob that might be breast cancer. Below is an illustration of breast symptom changes that indicate cancer. So boob sagging is pretty normal as far as health is concerned. Link to post Share on other sites
