Women talk about what they love most about their own breasts

In the movie “Mean Girls”, Karen Smith can predict the weather. At halftime of the 2004 Super Bowl, Janet Jackson made headlines. In the series “Baywatch”, from the 90s, Pamela Anderson redefined the female sex symbol.

From shopping for bras to breastfeeding, women around the world are #blessed with breasts. And no matter the size, there are great reasons to love them. Here are 19 women’s responses to what they love most about their own breasts, unique as they are: big or small, perky or saggy.

1. “You can balance your plate of food on them while watching Netflix in bed.”

2. “I like that mine are small and I can get away with wearing low-cut tops! #swimming”

3. “Breasts are magic. Every time I breastfeed my son I am in ecstasy. Like seriously… we can feed human beings and sustain their life. #Gives”

4. “They hold the crumbs.”

5. “Working out with my small boobs is a piece of cake.”

6. “I love that I picked mine. Living in a world where I’ve had to change a part of myself that used to make me feel bad is just too much. I had my implants done when I was 20. They will never be perfect or symmetrical when not in a bra, but they finally make me happy!”

7. “Breasts are sexy with or without a bra. (And they require no maintenance.)”

8. “I like my little ones! Usually I don’t hear anything but complaints from my friends with big breasts, so maybe I’m not really missing out on much as I am.”

9. “Mine are big and I like them to be that way, feminine but also rebellious – they don’t respect a single shirt button and help me take up space in the world”

10. “Mine fed two – TWO – humans!”

11. “I hate my boobs (I hate the word boobs), but my son loves to lay in them, so maybe they’re comfortable, huh?”

12. “They float! (Or they float or something – look down the next time you’re in a pool or bathtub…) “.

13. “I wanted to have big breasts so bad that I even sang the song ‘We must increase our bust’ (‘We have to increase our bust’, in free translation) from Judy Blume’s book, Are You There God? It´s me Margaret. (God, are you there? It’s me, Margaret). But now I love my half cup bras and wouldn’t trade them for anything.”

14. “Its upturned form. And the fact that I don’t actually have to wear bras and they still feel supported.”

15. “It’s empowering to be able to change breasts or how they look. You are in control of whether or not you want to show your cleavage. I think this Jenna Marbles video pretty much sums up how power you have over your boobs.”

16. “One of the best things about having small breasts is being able to wear backless, braless tops. And try interesting swimsuit cuts!”

17. “They’re small so they don’t hurt my back.”

18. “I see it as a reminder of the amazing capabilities of the female body. Women not only have the ability to bring new life into the world, but they can also nurture a new being. I think breastfeeding is one of the most important connections you can have with your child after he is born, although it is certainly not the only one. (My mom wasn’t able to breastfeed me, for example.)”

19.“They make me feel very feminine!”

(Translation: Simone Palma)
