Product Information

How these wibbly, wobbly, veiny, gelatinous bags come to be regarded as symbols of sex, youth, and beauty is beyond me.

Upon learning this, you better believe that I ran to the mirror, hitched up my cardie, and diagnosed myself. Obviously, the pencil test is not used within the medical community, but you can bet your swinging udders that they have their own systems of assessment. Because if it’s a medical condition, then that ups the ante on what you should do about it, and surgery is one possible option. Pregnancy and childbirth bring many changes to your life, and some of those changes can be uncomfortable.Someguyslikesmallboobs,otherslikemediumboobsandotherslikelargeboobs(personallyIlikemediumorsmallboobs. I promise I did not wake up each morning and consciously rejoice in my perky norks, before dressing them up for a day of promenading before dazzled onlookers. Society tells us boobs should look a certain way and media has created a titillating frenzy over the breast. Both functional and perceived as sexually attractive (which at times can be frustrating when we just want to free the nip), the types of breasts are incredibly varied between women and non-binary people with breasts. I have found myself thinking about them a lot more of late because there has been a noticeable shift in their appearance, and that shift has been downwards.

They are an erogenous zone, a vital organ for feeding children (if you have them) and they serve as an important indicator of our health. And every year, billions of pounds are spent making them bigger, smaller, higher and (hopefully) healthier.

The breasts get bigger and rounder as the fatty tissue and milk-producing glands inside the breasts continue to grow. What did shock me was the medicalised language being used to describe something I had never thought of as a medical issue before.After your periods begin, the changing hormones may make the breasts feel tender, painful or sore a week or so before your period starts.

If you are someone who wants to opt for breast surgery, for whatever reason, you crack on, but for me, making peace with my chesticles needs to come from within. They are sources of great pain, irritation, and even disease, but also markers of femininity and beauty.
