I have very small breasts (A-cup) and never wanted them to be bigger.
An A-cup bra is actually a tad too big for me; my breasts do not quite fill out the cups, and the cups end up having some crinkles in them because my breasts aren’t big enough to expand out the fabric.
If I go braless, you can’t tell. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries; and the women having this surgery don’t necessarily have A-cup breasts; many are B-cup and want to go to C-cup.
There are many advantages to having small breasts. It’s too bad there are women who are obsessed with getting bigger breasts, who cry every day because their breasts are “too small,” and who are bitter and depressed because they can’t wear low-cut outfits.
When I see a nice top and then see that it’s low cut, instead of hating my breasts for this, I instead curse the manufacturer.
Advantages to Having A-Cup Breasts
#1 Concealment of Double Mastectomy
If you ever have this disease and must have a double mastectomy, nobody will ever suspect you had this terrible illness if you’re small enough (unless there are other tell-tale signs such as suddenly wearing a wig due to chemo).
But many mastectomies are done electively to prevent recurrence or the cancer from developing in the non-cancerous breast.
I can’t imagine the emotional hardship it would be to have to explain to people what happened to your breasts.
With small breasts, the only person who’d know you had the double mastectomy would be your lover, but family members, close friends and co-workers would never, ever know, and you’d be spared the dread of having to tell people you had a life-threatening disease.
#2 Breast Self-Exams
A self-exam is so much easier when the area you’re examining is small.
#3 Minimal Sagging
Small breasts can only sag so much with old age. Their “saggability” is severely limited. When I look at my sub-A-cup breasts, I can’t imagine where they could sag to. They are naturally firm and perky.
#4 Brains
My breasts will never be distracting to a man whom I’m discussing something monumental with.
In other words, I’d like to think that small-breasted women will be taken more seriously, from an intellectual standpoint.
I’m not saying that women who are “well-endowed” can’t be smart. It’s the men who are often the variable here.
Some men can be prone to paying more attention to big breasts than to the brainy woman who is speaking to him.
When I speak to a man, all his attention is focused on what’s coming out of my mouth, not my chest (hopefully).
#5 Sports
Small breasts will never impede athletic performance. I can’t imagine what a detriment the big bosom would be during competitive volleyball, with all the jumping at the net and lunging for the ball. Big breasts would flap around like mad unless tightly bound.
I also run and do jumping drills at the gym. I’ve taken karate and have been smacked in the chest with kicks. This would have more-so hurt with big breasts.
I have done rock-wall climbing. Climbing technique involves keeping the body as flat against the climbing surface as possible to minimize falling backwards.
Big breasts would get in the way. But small ones allowed me to press my body up super-close to the wall.
#6 Rape and Assault
Because I’m so “flat,” I can look quite tomboyish or masculine, depending on my attire. This less-than-classically-feminine appearance will make a man think twice before picking on such a woman.
Small breasts are associated with masculinity or with being a jock. If a man perceives a woman on the street as a jock type or masculine, he is less likely to tangle with her.
But at the same time, small breasts can allow a female to look like 100 percent woman, because instead of fretting about being “flat,” she could focus on her other attributes, such as shapely firm legs and shoulders. And her crowning glory: hair.
Not all men are “breast men.” Some men are “leg men.” Some go for the hair! Glowing skin and sultry eyes will often snag a man’s attention before anything else.
It’s not all about the mammary glands. If you have an A-cup, it’s time to embrace it!
Update: The author of this article eventually had an elective (prophylactic) double mastectomy after learning that her sister had breast cancer. And of course, nobody — not even family members — noticed.
