ALL ABOUT ME
G'day... I'm from Australia.. the land of poorly fitted bras.
My perfect size is between a ... 28H and 28HH. In Australia that would be a 6H-HH if it existed.

However in Australia sizing predominantly starts at a 32 back which we call a 10. Needless to say, I have been sewing the backs of my bras in for years.

There is one main Lingerie chain store in Australia and they make and sell their own brands of cheap, ill fitting bras, 99.9% of which are wonderbra style super padded. They are basically our Victorias Secret equivalent. Just like VS all the bras are 2-3 sizes smaller than what the tag says and they are all pre-filled with the boobs (aka padding) to make you look that size.

WHAT I DISLIKE

I am NOT a fan of :

PADDED BRAS :( - meaning bras they actually have pillow type bits in them. They never suit my shape ever and I can never fit into them. Besides that I don't want to make my boobs look huge as I think having a petite frame and being of average height it just makes me look frumpy. I'm also much more a fan of modesty than the porn star cleavage look (as it is often called over here). But that's just me.

WHAT I LIKE

I love full cup granny bras. Well I guess its a bit of a love hate relationship. I love the comfort factor. Not having to re-adjust my breasts or make sure my nipples are still in the bra. However granny bras obviously don't do well under spaghetti thin straps and the like.

I love being braless and I very rarely wear a bra at home. However, I am starting to worry that as I am getting older this may not be such a good thing.

MY JOURNEY THUS FAR

Over the past few years I have noticed a huge deal of sag kick in. Partly due to the fact that in the past I have participated in quite a few lengthy fasts (for spiritual purposes) and I guess also age is a factor for us all.
During times of fasting I have seen my breasts shrink enormously which at the time I must say I really enjoyed (I know that is vanity kicking in). However, fasting is only temporary and weight gets put back on.

Although I'm only in my 30's I have had quite severe back problems since my late 20's. I think part of that comes from not having access to bras smaller than a 32 back for all of my teenage years. In year 9 (15 years of age) I remember wearing my mums 34DD black sweater girl bra. It was massive on me. but since I couldn't find anything else to fit I had to make do.

Funnily enough, I wore this bra in a high school production in a black dress that was hand made with seams running down the center of the boobs to the bottom of the dress. Somehow one side of the bust section of the dress managed to split open on stage in front of everyone and I was left trying to cover it with a feather boa that was around my neck. I think at this stage of my life no-one really knew I had boobs. I guess that was my way of coming out.

Whilst I developed a bit later than my friends I seemed to just develop over night. Needless to say, I never got to do the whole training bra thing. I went straight to the larger sizes and ended up helping myself to my mum's lingerie drawer of ill fitting bras.

I have definitely lost a lot of my breasts over the past 5 years (with fasting), leaving me with saggy empty skin and bottom heavy breasts. I feel that I also lost of lot of my natural support structure too. Even though my boobs are a lot smaller than my younger years they are still a decent size and I wouldn't want any bigger. Having lighter breasts is not just about having smaller looking breasts. I can actually feel that they are a lot lighter and less painful when I am moving about so for that I am grateful. Although, holding my breasts up where I want them to naturally sit and then letting go and watching them drop a hand span is a little sad for me :(

I often think about getting a breast reduction. Not because I have huge boobs (because I certainly don't), but rather, because my breasts are just too heavy for my bone structure/ frame. They also hang out the sides (when naked) further than my body. Maybe if I can find some great supporting bras I can stop all my back pain.

Being so petite growing up I honestly never thought that my breasts could cause me so much pain but over the last couple of years I have really had to start taking action. I find it embarrassing to talk about to be honest. Most people wouldn't think petite girls that don't look huge could suffer this problem. It has also been noted that with my poor posture from my teens my shoulder have become rounded and slump forward. I hate it so much. I keep telling myself that I am going to start holding my shoulders back and push my chest out to hopefully correct it but I just can't seem to get there. I honestly wonder if it's even possible to reverse the damage and change my natural posture :( I don't want to end up being so hunched over but that's where I'm heading unless I can do something.
