Ditto. I don't even bother with a bra. I also have one small boob and one

flat one.

Nope! I likes 'em just the way they are - real. Fake breasts on a person as

what brand of bra is it?

[Guest guest]

OOOOHHH the rib cage...i hate my rib cage...i would take my weird feet and

lop-sided boobs if i could have a normal rib cage.....i dont quite know the

exact measurement of my curve, but it was really bad and i got spinal surgery at

age 11, so my rib cage sticks out soooooooo far....which just makes me have no

waist...

but it is wicked hard to find an A cup 'around' me, let alone find on to fit

my weird boob

at least now i know im not alone with this problem though

~~~Robyn!!!

[Guest guest]

AAHH thats always what i say too! i always say and my friends dont understand

why i would spend the money! but all i want it to be an A!!!

another thing, playtex just released half sized bra's, which i think would

finally fit me....has anyone tried them yet?

~~~Robyn!!!

[Guest guest]

While we're on the subject of bras and sizes, has any of the woman noticed

how panty sizes vary from company to company? The Secrets XS fit me

well but when I bought XS panties online from Old Navy, they were HUGE. They fit

my sister and she's a size 5 (while the ones from VS were so tiny that she

couldn't get them past her thighs). Just kinda annoying when the same size from

two different companies are completely different.

[Guest guest]

I'm very 'flat-chested'. I don't bother wearing a bra. As a teenager,

even training bras would slowly ride up until they were practically

around my neck. Not very comfy or appealing. But I like being small

cuz I don't have to mess around putting on extra undergarments. They

did get a tiny bit bigger after having kids, but not much.

Here is a story about a horrible 's Secret experience I had last

summer:

My brother's almost-fiancee, , and my friend wanted to

check out this big sale they were having. All these prissy sales girls

were standing around armed and ready with measuring tapes to determine

bust sizes of clueless customers. You know me, quasi-hippy, flapping

free in the wind. Well, I decided I was going to take this opportunity

to identify my bra size in the event I ever decided to actually wear

one. I called this sales girl over and stated I wanted to be measured

too ( & had already been measured). She gives me this

look akin to, " Well, I've never really measured a cripple before, but

I'll try... " Trying to talk her way out of the uncomfortableness, she

asks, " What size do you currently wear? " I reply, " I don't. " She

didn't looked satisfied with that answer. holds my arms up and

the girl hastily wraps the tape measure around me like she is afraid she

is going to catch something. She kind of hums and haws, and finally

says, " Well, this may not be completely accurate because of the way *we*

are, but I'm measuring you to be a 44 B or C. " I felt like replying,

" Well, I hope you realize this means *we* will be going home immediately

to kill *ourselves*. " Instead, I left the store straight away and

waited in front for and to make their way through the

crowds of other rabid underwear hunters. I spent the rest of the day

brooding about my peculiar body shape and subsequent need to wear huge

sizes.

really huffy with me and afterwards she tells me im a 44c & they dont

selll that size, but Layne t does & i left the store allmost crying

by how matter o fact she was & snottty rude! urgh!

[Guest guest]

i have the same problem too guys (or should i say girls?!)... i have one

small and one very small, which disappear to mosquito bites when i lay

down. the smaller boob is further to the side as well... i'm still not

completely comfortable with them, but i'm working on it. i never wear a

bra, but i have these shirts that i like to wear under tight sweaters

because they are empire waisted and accentuate what little i have without

the uncomfort of a padded bra. jenn, i noticed you said you have a 44 inch

measurement around your torso... i also have quite a large measurement for

my body size (36 fits me super tight, and you just can't find a 38A). i am

pretty sure this is because our rib cages expand to make it easier for our

diaphrams to work (i read this somewhere). does anyone else have this

problem?

also, has anyone ever thought of getting a boob job to make them bigger or

even them out? i know i have, but i don't really like the idea of an

unneccessary operation or having more foreign bodies in my body!! also, i

would think it would look funny because of scoliosis and the fact that we

don't have much muscle to stuff the implant under...

I hear ya there

[Guest guest]

I TOTALLY agree, and I don't have any difficulties you ladies seem to

have. They are way over priced (although very cute) - and often run in

weird sizes. One bra I'll be a 34A and the next I'm wearing a C!

Sometimes I can find a cute bra on sale - but only when I splurge. I

typically shop at Vicky's for the lingerie. One time I went in the

dressing rooms (not wheelchair accessible by any means) and got locked

inside because there wasn't room enough to turn around completely and

I couldn't lift my arm high enough behind me to unlock the door. It

was one of those doors that locked automatically when it shut. The

sales staff were totally confused on how to get me out (don't they

have keys!?) and kept insisting I needed to " try harder " because it

isn't " that hard " to reach. It got to the point my friend with me

ended up crawling under the space of the door to come in and unlock it

while the staff just stood there complaining I shouldn't have gone in

the dressing room in the first place. (When they were the ones that

told me that stall was their largest and perfect for a wheelchair.)

Another store that is a bit pricey, but way better in sizing is

GapBody. I've only had positive experiences there with the staff and

facilities. But then again, I've never regreted a WalMart deal on bras

and other personal clothing items!

~Kendra

> i personally think the victoria's secret bra's are not made well and

way over priced. i know several people who say this, even a former

store manager of theirs. i used to swear by their bras and not even

try anything else, until i realized i can find equal or better in dept

stores for lless. Also, some inside info--VS contracts out other name

brand bra makers to make their bras, clothes, undies.....ever notice

for example the exact same clothing in express that is in the VS

catalog? (theyre the same company).....for example, Vs's hugely

popular " body by victoria " line is nothing unique....i forget which

other name brand makes it for VS, but you can see the same thing in

Dept stores w/ just a different label.

NO JOKE! My rib cage sticks out all over and makes me look so much fatter

than I really am, and all lopsided and... ugh! I can deal with ugly feet. I can

deal with nonexistant boobs. I can deal with hairy arms. I can deal with an

ugly nose. I can deal with Utah-dry skin. I just want normal ribs!!

Actually, I have no idea how accurate that was cuz the lady acted like she was

afraid to touch me and held the tape measure real loose. I do know that I have

to buy ultra huge pants cuz of my residual curve. If I don't, the waistband or

elastic cuts into my side really bad. I'm kind of sensitive about the whole

clothing size issue really. Sigh...

I have to wear really big sizes too. Of course, growing up in the south

eating all that " soul food " like well, everything fried and cheesy....it is

probably my fault! But I do have quite a curve in my side due to " scoliosis

leftovers. " I had the spinal fusion at age 11, so have a really strange

body shape. I just go for comfort now, and as long as I can find

comfortable, decent-clothes, I am good

Just a quick note to say the small breast thing is not common to all

SMAers. My breasts are way too big (DD). They are uncomfortable and in

the way and I would gladly swap with any of you small chested women. I

cannot find a comfortable bra large enough for me that will hold these

up without pulling me down. I have never had a spine fusion (was born a

bit to early ) so I don't know if that has any effect; But all the women

in our family were large breasted.

How much do you weigh? Weighing 44lbs myself (the size of an average 5yr

boobs, even ones done by very reputable surgeons look silly, but that's just my

opinion too.

Note that I made that comment while I was still in Washington. Now I'm back in

Utah and wanting to cry over the state of my skin!! A couple months ago I seem

to have randomly developed an allergy to something around here, because my face

IMMEDIATELY dries up and is blotchy, flaky, bumpy, red... grr!!! I don't know

what to do....

When my skin's just normal dry, though, I'm usually able to handle it pretty

well by just being religious with my moisturizer every night and morning. I've

heard that dry skin gets pimples because it's producing nasty oils to compensate

for lack of moisture. Right now, I think I have more moisturizers in my bathroom

than in an average drug store...
