After drying off from a shower and getting dressed, I realized that all my bras were still in the dryer, because I had just done a whole bunch of laundry. So I put on everything else and would later go downstairs to grab a bra before heading out.
As I was driving in my car a half hour later, I suddenly realized, "oh shit - I forgot my bra!" and had a moment of sheer panic. But then, reality kicked in and I realized that it actually doesn't matter if I wear one or not. Why? Because to be honest, my boobs aren't that big, so it doesn't make much of a difference. Plus, I was wearing a big ol' sweater and you really couldn't tell.
Was telling a friend about it and she laughed because she said she wished she could get away with that. See, she's got some big ones, so she really needs a bra to keep the girls in place. Me? Meh. When you're this small, there's no need to worry about sagging, because there's nothing there to sag. She said that one of her coworkers was worried about her boobs sagging so she started wearing bras to bed. I was like, huh? Sorry, I can't relate. I have no idea what that means and why it would help.
I remember once, I was meeting up with another friend for a walk and I said that I couldn't be bothered to put on a bra. I'd just put on my hoodie and go. She gave me this look of utter confusion and amazement - I can still see her face. I was like, what? And she too, said that she wishes she could do that but can't. I asked her why, and she said that if she doesn't wear one and she's walking around a lot or jogging, then it kind of hurts. Again, I can't relate. Never been there, don't get it.
Then, in talking to other people about it, the other thing that my boobalicious friends can't do that I can do, is sleep on their stomachs. I've never given it a second thought. But yeah, I guess that would be uncomfortable. They said that it's the reason they don't go for massages either, because when you get a body massage, you have to lay on your stomach for a good portion of it And the girls would get all smashed up. Again, can't relate.
There are days I curse what I've got, but then after hearing stuff like this, I'm actually kind of glad. Who wants to deal with saggy boobs when you get older? Plus, that really would make working out an even bigger bitch. And when you're smaller, you can always wear a padded bra when you need to. But when you're too boobalicious, you can't shrink 'em down, can you? That must suck to not be able to lay on your stomach.
So next time I ever leave the house unsupported, I guess I won't sweat it too much.
