Breast Status

[hammer]

ABWG'S, once you go through menopause you shouldn't express anymore breast milk! I kid you not, and given everything else that goes on with you I'm sure that you will experience some form of menopause just as I did!

Hammer,  I wasn't as concerned as I was embarrassed. They said that its actually a pretty common thing with women my age to have fluctuating hormones that will stimulate milk production. They did caution me to not attempt to squeeze, pump, or express the milk off to try to reduce my breast size. They said it will only come back and probably in a greater volume! This is probably TMI but, the girls are part of intamacy with my wife. I told her what had happened and she giggled and said now you know what we go through. She went out and bought a box of the cotton inserts so I didn't leak through. She also took the opportunity to squeeze my girls to witness it for herself.

No matter what, its still not as em-bare-assing as losing your pants and underwear in the middle of a on looking crowd lol!

Ha ha! That is true Hammer.

Well Hammer I have a worse one than that but I am not going to talk about it. Lets just say I have IBS and dropping my drawers in the middle of a store would be mild in comparison.

[hammer]

I totally understand because I too suffer from IBS! And as the old saying goes, " when you gotta go,  you gotta go, and if you don't go when you gotta go, when you go to go, you just might find that you already went"!

That's a new one on me Hammer.  I remember the old one "When Mother calls you better go but when Mother Nature calls you gotta go!"

Yep, that's a good one too!

I am a 40 A/B and they seem to have stabilized but one is a bit smaller than the other and I think it has caught up a bit.  I have noticed in photos that they are kind of obvious even in a loose T shirt.  My nipples look the same but they have become really sensitive (not complaining) and not wearing a bra just feels weird.

[Athena12@]

My right side is smaller than my left but I believe that is because I and right handed and use that side more.  However my right side has been hurting like mad all day, so maybe there will be some growth there.  Otherwise I just hurt the right moob somehow.

Felix, what types of bras do you wear?  Wearing a bra should help with sensitive nipples. I find my nipples are more sensitive when my breasts are growing, and as my breasts have grown, my nipples expanded.

Both are roughly the same size. I am sure they are not the same size but the difference isn't noticeable. While I do have some ptosis of both breasts, the right one sags noticeable even though it isn't that much difference. I can get at least one to one and a half inch lift when wearing a bra due to ptosis. The comfort difference between support and non support is noticeable.

I don't have a lot to support so I wear light weight pullover leisure bras because they lie flat and are easy to hide under a shirt.  They aren't much but just the extra layer of cloth and keeping them from moving helps.  I had a doctor's appointment the other day so I went out without a bra.  We stopped for lunch and when I leaned over and my nipples rubbed the edge of the table I could sure feel it.  I don't care for the way my breasts get lightly compressed by the stretchy cups so I am going to try out one of those sports bras with the encapsulation type cups somebody on here recommended the other day.  I want something with wide straps and no hardware or hooks.  I am still experimenting so I am also going to order some regular A cup T shirt bras off of ebay just to see how they feel.  I am not quite ready to commit to getting a fitting so if they don't work out, I will give them to my favorite thrift store.

I realize going in for a bra fitting can be intimidating.  I know many women do not do it or put it off.  So, it is even more awkward for a man.  However, I have found it to be a comfortable experience.  The sales associates see you have breasts like a woman, so need to be fitted, try on, and buy yourself bras like all their other women customers. 

I believe I get even better treatment than the typical woman customer because the sales associates seem sympathetic and assume I know less about bras than the women shopping there.  I get told about the different styles of bras, what they do, and what might work best for me, which I should have in my collection, the proper laundering, and how to rotate which bras to wear, for example.

[Athena12@]

Chaos Agent I am the same as you.  No real growth, no breast pain to speak of and no real nipple itching but I never really did have much of either.  About once every couple of  months I get some breast pain and the only itching I get is believe is caused by the bra I am wearing.  Hibernation is a good word for it except that the bears come out in the spring and my girls don't.
