Having just read “How not to need implants…” I was moved to comment. Surely the Breast Implant Sizer - while maybe preventing some women from taking the plunge and having surgery as Sybil suggests - is side-stepping the issue. Why is it that we think we have to have bigger breasts? I just don’t understand why thinking women continue to subscribe to the idea that bigger breasts are best.

I find buying bras infuriating. Not because of sizing difficulties but because of the assumption that every woman with an ‘A’ cup such as myself wants a mountain of padding. Here in England, I find it impossible to buy bra without padding. I’m fine with my small breasts. Why should I have to put up with a silhouette that looks like I’ve stuffed 2 cappuccino cups down my shirt? Who am I trying to impress with this?

If men are really putting pressure on us to augment our breasts, we only have ourselves to blame for perpetuating the problem by getting surgery or padding our bras. How would a man feel if we asked them to stuff their shorts or consider penis extension? They’d laugh us out of the room.

And to those women who say they only get augmentations to please themselves - well I think it’s only themselves they’re kidding!
