I used to be self conscious about my breasts especially when I was heavy because they are smallish(36/38B) and when I was heavy I was very out of proportion. And I think even as a child I was "sexualized" to think that gorgeous meant large Barbie boobs and perfect waist meant you were pretty. And really, up until the early 2000's it seemed like it was still that way. I think that defining my beauty with only the outside was ingrained in me by my father/men growing up so that I developed a complex about it. My first long term boyfriend before my husband used to watch porn and I tried to play it off like I didn't mind when really I did.
Back to bras though.. I feel two ways. Certain bras make me more confident in how I look in certain clothes(and I do like Vic Sec Bombshell bras) and they aren't too uncomfortable-but I love being able to free my girls when I am at home. Going braless is coming back into style and I have been brave enough to wear no bra a couple of times going to the store but only with a loose shirt. I hope things become like they were in the 70's where free breasts were considered modern and beautiful an acceptable. There is nothing wrong with my breasts or a woman's breasts. And really if you want to be specific they are meant for breast feeding.
