Acceptance Garments / Re: MRI or CAT scans

« Last post by taxmapper on Today at 09:37:18 AM »

Good points.  Even if the metal is non ferrus, the magnetic waves can heat the metal up.  

I have had both recently, and can tell you that 1: I hope they are not hitting you with contrast.  I hate that stuff. 
2: for the uninitiated, MRI's are a scan that is IMO boring, but also annoying due to the metal.

Acceptance Garments / MRI or CAT scans

« Last post by Justagirl💃 on Today at 08:13:15 AM »

MRI of my liver today (long story), so the requirements are no metal  jewelry, hooks, clasps, buttons, ect...

So, I'm wearing a lightly padded pullover sports bra,  tee. And sweat pants. 

I usually wear underwires, so seeing the boobs smashed flat against my chest feels weird. 

I bought this pullover sport's bra specifically for these scans and x-rays.

Acceptance / Re: It’s been a year since joining

I’ve embraced my situation over the past year and once I got over the need for bra, and found a few that worked it became easier to wear a bra.

I describe my breasts as mash potatoes thrown at a wall and bunching up towards the bottom.  

Curiosity set it and I found it entertaining and fun (and at times expensive) to try different types of bras and enjoy how each one presented my breasts, some in a negative way others in a very positive way.  My current fav goto is wearing an underwire 36 DD with a lighter colored shirt and seeing how that shows and how comfortable I am with it.

My breasts filling in added additional enjoyment to the process as I watched the bras fit better and better.

There are days when I feel like letting it be known I have breasts and I’m wearing a bra so I choose my bra and top accordingly.

Acceptance / Re: Breast Fetish?

Excellent post, 42C.  The big question is  "Are you happy?"  And if that answer is 'yes' then you needn't go any farther .  If not, what would it take to make you happier?"

As one who has accepted (or embraced) the change I am perfectly happy.  What could be better?

Acceptance / Re: To show or not to show.

I don't think about them as a general rule.  I just live my life and accept the fact that some body movements are going to feel a little different.  I notice that walking is a little different (improved posture) and reaching above my head requires a little more attention to detail ..else.. some major adjustments have to be made after the movement.

(Try to keep the upward motion of the upper arm to a minimum - given the circumstances- or the band tends to ride up a bit.)

I find that the more someone tries to hide something, the more visible it becomes.  Act like nothing is different, and people will believe it.

It has been a little over a year for me, too.  Not a moment of regret about my decision to embrace the difference rather than try to hide it.

Hi, JJ,

Thank you for the "coming of age" story.  I am so glad that you have accepted, or celebrated,  yourself as you are and are enjoying life.  Your family's acceptance no doubt has no doubt played a big role in your happiness.

Great Story

Acceptance / Re: First Post

Wow!  It's been over a year since I first added to this thread.....and over a year in bras!  I must admit that I was very self-conscious when I started this journey, but now it's just another thing to put on in the morning and take off at night.  

For all of you who are just starting to wear bras (and for those who are considering it), I just have to say that the initial uneasiness is worth it.  My neck strain is gone and my posture has improved.  The most important components are 1} self-acceptance, 3) the support  (no pun intended) you get from your family and friends - and 3) accepting the fact that no one else matters.

I only wish I had started wearing them sooner.  

Problem?     What problem?
