OT-Personal question for the ladies

I've recently seen several of you that say your breasts are lopsided. Mine too are drastically not the same size & never have been. I've always been very self conscious of it & will not wear tighter clothes sometimes because you can definitely tell that they are uneven. My question is what do you do to hide it? I know sometime in the future I may have to have a boob job just because I hate it so much. Just curious how you all handle that. My husband says I worry about it too much & he has always been fine with the "variety pack" as I call them. Lol  It's just something that has always bothered me.

I think most people's breasts are different sizes, just in some cases the unevenness is greater than others.  I don't do anything to hide it.  I don't think it's that noticeable on myself.

Unfortunately mine are very different. A large B cup on one side & maybe an A cup on the other. I've tried stuffing & inserts, but they all look odd. Maybe it's just my head. Oh well. I've lived with it for going on 36 years now, what's 36 more.

If it really bothers you I suppose you could stuff the one side with something, or perhaps buy some type of an insert.

I've tried different kinds of inserts & they all look odd on me. Maybe I'm just not doing it right. Lol

I have had that issue since 5th grade when boys accused me of stuffing my bra because of it. My husband says the same thing-that it does not matter. The Victoria's Secret bras I have been wearing make it unnoticeable, in my opinion. So, I am no longer self conscious about it.

I might need to visit Victoria's Secret then & invest in some good bra's. I just haven't been able to bring myself to go in there yet. I always feel uncomfortable, because I still think I'm the fattest person in the place.

I would NOT recommend Victoria Secrets for good bras!   They are pretty but are not good quality and the sales staff are NOT very knowledgeable (likely to be a cute college girl or some such)

It is probably worth you making an appointment at a large quality department store (like Nordstroms) where they have properly trained ladies who can help with all of our little quirks and have a TON of options!   They are probably not that much more expensive than VS and you don't have to pay for their expertise.   Be prepared to be handled though - the ladies like to get their hands on the girls when showing you how to put on a bra properly etc!

Thanks! I've heard JC Penney's is good for that too. I hate shopping for bra's period. It's getting more noticeable now that I'm getting smaller. I guess because they are actually sticking out further than my belly now. Lol I will definitely have to look around & see what the stores around here have to offer.

I must respectfully disagree, at least about the quality of the merchandise from Victoria's Secret. We get very well made bras from there. My daughter wears an A cup and is very self-conscious about it. They are one of the few places that even carry A cup bras, and they do make her look better.



A friend of mine, who has declared himself a "boob man," says that the trouble with plastic surgery enhanced boobs is that they are all the same shape, LOL. So FWIW, I guess there are men out there who actually do prefer a "variety pack." (That's hilarious, btw!)
