| We have provided a support platform for women that are not blessed with an hourglass shape perfect body. Our efforts have been praised by not only but such women (the resounding success of our book "Flat, but proud" is evidence of that support) but also other women (supposedly the ones with perfect bodies) who have written to tell us what they would like to share with their sisters who are not so well endowed. Of course, not all large-breasted women complain about their size. Many are, of course, delighted to have them and have no interest in breast-reduction surgery. So just to put it in context, during 2005, while there were approximately 360,000 breast augmentation procedures, there were still 160,000 breast reduction procedures, according to ASAPS statistics. (Related: Teenagers with big breasts) To our greatest surprise, many women constantly worry about their breast size despite the fact that our research shows that a vast majority of men either do not care or actually like flat chested women. So when this advice comes from women who have naturally large breasts, it has far more credibility. (Related: How to get a celebrity body) Ashley Davis of Oklahoma City has 32DD cups. She writes, "As you can tell from my measurements, I have a very small body size, but a very large cup size. I'm horrified by the overwhelming desire girls and women have for bigger breast size. My back and shoulders hurt constantly, even when I'm lying down. I can't find clothes that fit properly, and all of my blouses are stretched at the top. I'm saving up right now for breast reduction surgery. I'm unable to continue living with this deformity much longer. I'd rather have scars than such big breasts. I can't wait to be able to go without wearing a bra sometimes, and stand up straight without huge weights dragging me down. Don't take your body for granted. Be thankful if you are only an A or B cup. You have a youthful body type. You can throw on a push-up bra any time, look amazing, and be comfortable. I can't even find a swimsuit that fits. Don't enlarge yourself with artificial stuff. You'll only get back problems and unwanted attention." (Related: How to buy a bathing suit?) Marie in Pittsburgh echoes Ashley's feelings. She says that she will give anything to have smaller breasts. "I have natural very large bust so I get a lot of unwanted attention from people. I just want to be normal", she tells us. Marriett in Queens, NY supports Marie's logic, "If I were small enough I would be able to go braless without a doubt and I feel terrible that I can not do that. I am very envious and obsessed with women with smaller frames. I am HUGE and hate it." Joyce, a 38 year old nurse in Philadelphia, used to have very nice C cups, and then she had breast reduction surgery. "I wanted to reduce my size since they were becoming a big hassle. Being divorced , I'm glad not to have men always bothering me," she tells MYNIPPON.com. Ashley also supports this view and we have to believe her considering that she wears a 34DD brassiere. "I am always jealous of the smaller women. My friends always are telling me how lucky I am to have such a great body and how great I fill out clothing, but when I see someone go and have a breast augmentation procedure done I think they are crazy. Since I wear such an uncommon bra size (small band size and very large cup size), I spend on average $40 dollars for a bra. Small women can find bras almost anywhere, they don't have the weight pulling on their shoulders and back, can wear almost any top knowing it will fit over their chest, and still look great. Small women should rejoice in their bodies, they're just as wonderful with more comfort!" (Related article: Tips on wearing a bra correctly) We had a long discussion with Krisha on the subject. She is considered to be voluptuous by any standard. She tells us, "Getting implants to improve your self image is ridiculous. If you feel that you need larger size to boost your self-esteem, or to feel more attractive to men, then you are basing your self-worth solely on what unknown men feel about your body and not basing it on what you yourself feel is important. No woman should need men to feel good about herself. And no woman should base her self-worth simply on how many eyes she can catch with her body alone. If you are a small woman, you may feel that less men will find you attractive. In fact, this may be true. However, what a lot of young girls don't understand is that the men who don't think you are worth their time or who wouldn't date you based on your chest size alone (Proud of small breasts) aren't the type of men that any woman should be bothered with impressing or dating in the first place. They are destructive and immature men, only concerned about their partner's appearance. And, if you get breast implants, these types of men will be the only increased number of men interested in you; men no intelligent woman would desire to date anyway. And their unworthy attention is all you get for the trouble of mutilating your body. And if you still feel you need to depend on the attention of men, even such destructive types, for your own self-esteem, then you have deeper self-esteem issues than you may realize." It is indeed true that technology today has made it easier and more affordable to do whatever you wish to do with your body but unless you have a major deformity you need not bother with getting unnecessary plastic surgery or consume pills that don't seem to work. Be proud of what you have and just wait for the right men to come along. As Sheryl Crow says, "What's wrong with being a flat-chested girl? I think boys should feel good about the option of dating a woman who doesn't have big chest! The plastic-surgery thing is probably not my bag, ever."
