Yet another test; Difference when leaning over compared to standing up

Here we go again; I'm testing a theory and I need volunteering guinea pigs as usual :)

1. Stand up. Push your boobs against the chest. Like creating a bra with your hands. No bra on.

2. Lean over and get boobs in hands. Stand up and push the boobs against the chest. Like creating a bra with your hands. No bra on.

*********
Questions:

* Could you do the test or is it impossible? Why?
* How big is the difference for you in volume between the two variations?
* Does the space your boobs take up on your ribcage changes a lot between the two?
* Does your boobs become unseparated in any of the tasks?
* Where was tissue added if added?

My results: Standing up I get perfectly firm and separated boobs. Quite small.
Leaning over my boobs are way too big for my hands, a gazillion times softer and unseparated. They now are way bigger than in the first task and has filled out in every direction, even underneath.

Conclusion: I still don't know yet. But I'm thinking it might have to do with ribcage, shallow and my tall chest. And of course also the fact that I'm overweight. But I still don't know if the difference wouldn't have been there even without my overweight.

  • I did this- a couple of times and could see no real difference between the two results. I got very round, full boobs with next to no separation with both methods.

    Things I know about my boobs- tissue is predominantly in the right spot- I've mostly worn roughly correctly fitting bras for the past 5-6 years. I think I have fairly dense tissue and a reasonably narrow, short root (except for my tails which go up to my collarbone). I have oodles of projection, even comparing to someone of a similar size. My breasts are very close-set, I can't even get my little finger between them at the top without moving tissue. Other stuff about me- I'm a little overweight, though the excess weight is more in my tummy (or went to my breasts haha) than anywhere else. I'm reasonably short and my breasts are very high-set on my frame.

  • My results :

    - standing up : my boobs are too wide and too tall for my hands, no breast wants to escape, even if I don't hold they firmly. My boobs look big from the front, but flat from the side, and round everywhere.

    - after leaning over : now, I can fit almost alll my boobs in my hands (I just have some breast tissue on the top of my chest that is not covered by my hand). The shape is TOTALLY different : now, my boobs are conical/pointy/empty everywhere but projected, the top is fuller/rounder when my hands are not, and they look very small from the front (narrow root). I feel my breasts want to return to a wider and shallower shape because I have to hold them firmly in my hands, if I do not, they escape.

    Branarchist : You and me have a similar result with n°1, but not with n°2. I am sure (97% maybe) am a "shallow with wide root", you say you are too. But I am muscular and not overweight, so when I bend over, my ribs-back-tummy-fat don't fall with my breasts. Maybe it exlains the different result ? You get some "natural" scooping and swooping ?
