Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi there, I am , I had implants(safe saline ha) for only 18 months and became very ill, so your right not to even consider them again. I am also pretty flat chested. If you want an idea just go on the photo section of this site and you can see my before and afters. I have about a A or AA cup size depending of course on the bra etc. I find that the enhancers I wear in my pocket bra work really well under winter clothes and stuff that is not low cut, but your right they can sometimes slip a little and the edge can show in low cut stuff. What I did for New Years for example was wear a camisole top over the bra with the enhancers, and still looked like I had some cleavage at that.It covered the tops of my bra perfectly and that way even dancing the enhancers could not pop up and show. Camisoles are aweseome, get a few, lace and regular ones, I love them! I have been very creative with my different looks. I have a couple of bathing suits that make me look like a large A or small B . I don't like one pieces and have a nice figure so I like to show it off a bit. I don't wear string bikinis but I found through Venus swimwear that they have very very nicely padded add a cup size bikini tops(mix and match sizes too, very nice. They are not cheap but not too pricey either. I like them allot. I also got another wonderful water bikini there that I like alot. For swimming the enhancers would make me too afraid to wear unless you are into sewing, then you could buy a few pairs and sew them into the material of the bikini top or bathing suit or whatever, and would not have to worry about losing them. I also recently got a B cup victoria secret padded bra that almost fits me (they run small) and it is a convertable strapless number, that I plan on modifying for summer to fit the enhancers in it. I just need another pair to permanently sew into bras. I think I should start a company that recognizes these needs of small chested women and make bras that come with enhancers pre sewed in. HA HA. I bet it would be succesful. ALso I am with you on some of those large enhancers, too big for my body type, I don't want to be a C or D cup, then I would just look like i had implants, I just want to be a nice B or even large A. Hope these ideas help at least a little, coming from another small chested woman!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 HI Pheobe, I find it hard to believe that you can be that much smaller than me, but I think my breasts appear larger than they are because they are kind of smooshy. So when I put on something without a bra they tend to flatten out and I look very flat, like in work out clothes esp. I have to say though that lingerie seems to be the one thing that always works well on me, I wonder what I would do if I had bigger boobs sometimes with the skimpy little lingerie I buy that fits so tight! hee hee. ANyhow I guess that will never be a problem. I also feel Dr Feng is part of the reason my boobs appear bigger than they really are, I mean I am barely an A cup usually, but she shaped them SO NICE with that lift, they really do look rounder and perkier than they ever did in my life, I always had a little pointier boobs and she just shaped them up nicely, I am pretty happy with them nude. WIth clothes they just need some help so that is where my enhancers came in. As for the type of enhancers, they are smaller ones, they are called " amazing " and the box they came in has a website, it is www.Bragel.com or you can email them at Bragel89@.... They say they are large, but they sure don't make me huge, just a nice B cup and that is all I want, I don't want to look huge or fake, just mostly average and normal, not boyish and in clothes sometimes boobs get lost ya know what I mean right? I am a small girl, but not stick thin, I have a curvy body, I have a butt, etc, I am lean but think that I look nicer with a bit of boobs in my clothes, like you probably feel. The bra I got really really lucky on. I walked into Dillards Dept store here in Idaho Falls and they were just there on the sales rack, so I bought three of them, I am wishing I had gotten more. I looked on the tag just now and all it says is Cabernet, so I guess that is the brand. I am going to do a search and see what I can find, I bet it is going to just be wine though, hee hee. Anyhow Patty also uses this type of pocket bra but I think she may use a full breast enhancer and mine are not really a full breast, they do have a little nub where the nipple would be but not enough to make me look like my nipples are hard and poking out, that is embarassing hee hee. I am happy with them and they were cheap too, like $30.00. I got my water bikini through Venus swimwear, but unfortunatly I believe they discontinued it. Fortunately though they sell a padded bikini top that is an add a cup size and it works really well. I can send you pics of me in it if you want me to, let me know what address ok? Carabella swimwear is another one that has the add a cup size and there are others too, there are allot of padded bras and bikinis out there these days, for us girls that don't want or cannot get implants. I really never have too much trouble finding them. I have worn my enhancers against my skin for brief periods of time in a strapless bra that worked ok, but i never got a rash. I don't like doing that very much cause it can get slimy, but I figured it was only an evening and I was on a cruise and wanted to wear this strapless dress. It did give me tons of cleavage but again, it can be dangerous because if your not careful that enhancer edge can poke out. My advice is the camisole trick that keeps the bra and the enhancer covered, it worked for on New Years anyhow. I hope that this has helped in someway. And check out that website to see what they have. I am going to look myself. I also feel that you can sew enhancers into bras and bikini tops fairly easily no matter what the material, I mean I don't see why not, but maybe I am wrong, I am sure not a big sewing person. Maybe Patty has more input here! Hope this helps some Hugs , " phoebe123p " <phoebe123p@y...> wrote: > hi carrie, > > thanks for writing back to me! i really appreciate > your input. we sound similar -- i, too like bikinis. i > have a slim figure, work out, take care of myself, and > would be content with the appearance of small boobs, as > long as they look real. > i have a few shelf bras w/spaghetti straps that i used > to wear w/the enhancers, but no longer use them much > since the enhancers irritate my skin. what brand of > pocket bras do you wear? and which enhancers? are they > silicone? i saw some non silicone ones on a website > yesterday that look weighty enough (i don't like just > the foam kind). i did check out your photos, and you > are definitely bigger than i am. i really am nearly > flat and as i mentioned, am trying to find a solution > that i'm comfortable with. i recently got invited to a > girls weekend away and turned it down for fear of > being found out. totally stupid, i know. anyway, i > also wanted to know where you got your water bikini. > that might work. i asked a friend who is a seamstress > about sewing in pockets and she said it is hard to > work with the stretchy bathing suit material in the > way i wanted her to. > > again, thanks so much for your help! > > -pheobe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 carrie -- thanks for the input! i will check out the website you mentioned and see what i can find. i did check out the venus site, and there may be possibilities on it. also, i just found at tj maxx (my favorite store) 2 bathing suits that have the liners sewn into the top (bandeau style), leaving about an 1 " space on each outer side -- so i can slip an enhancer into it. only trouble is current enhancers are a little too heavy and i'm afraid that the whole top would just yank down (as opposed to the enhancer flying out). fyi, i spoke with the woman who owns The Total Woman Boutique, and they will be getting new swimsuits on their website soon -- www.mastectomyneeds.com will get you to their site. meanwhile, i just ordered about 5 sets of various enhancers, so i can figure out something to work: a) under clothes, with bathing suits. there are so many options, and it is so hard to find ones that will work for such a small chested person. i am truly flat, with just about 1/4 " - 1/2 " of natural tissue at the very bottom portion of my boobs. i was always small -- AA before silicone implants. i got those to bring me to a B cup and i was very happy with my size. now, having not been looking that large since i had them removed 5 years ago, and having nursed 2 babies, i feel that going back up to a B would look like i got a boob job, and i don't want to look that way. very few people knew when i got them done back in '91, and i no longer live in the same city. anyway, now, post explant, i have nothing left to even lift. in a tee shirt with no bra, i have the chest of a 13-year-old boy! hopefully, at least 1 set of enhancers i ordered will work for some of my needs. and, maybe i'll get lucky and one pair will work for all needs (then again, maybe i'll need 1 set for under tighter clothes and in a swimsuit, with another bigger pair for under heavier clothes)! if you want, i'll let you know what i discovered from my research/experimenting. thanks again for writing back! -phoebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
