Quest For Breasts

[zkk]

Haha, I know that feeling. First when I started noogling I thought I might tell someone about it, but so far no one knows. For some reason, I want them to believe I'm just as able to grow my own breasts as anyone else ;D It sounds silly, but noogling feels kinda like "cheating" to me - or compensating, which isn't any better. I have to put so much effort to get what others get just by living through puberty. Sometimes it feels soooo unfair, but that's the reason I don't want to tell anyone. At least not yet.

You're right - one must be very observant to notice those small changes. But if you gain multiple cup sizes, then yes, people may start to notice. For me, that is only a positive thing as long as they don't think I have implants.

Don't forget you don't have to explain anything as natural changes are rarely understood by the person experiencing the changes. A simple "I don't know but I don't feel any different so I'm not complaining." will do the job. I can personally vouch for how unobservant people are these days. I've gone from flat to a handful of projection. Not a single word as been uttered.

Regarding to "cheating", how is working hard to develop something "cheating"? Implants is "cheating" since it isn't flesh. Are athletes cheating to tone, form and sculpt their bodies? Is someone working on their diet for health and controlled weight targets cheating?

I say, "no" and note that people do nothing to reach a goal has no value for it. When I finally reach my DD cup size, I will enjoy and appreciate them far more than another who just found them after waiting with no effort. Plus, I know I can go further if I desire rather than complain about size.

It is my opinion your efforts in NBE are valuable and you'll be much more confident when you can value it as well.

Valid points, DJ. But that feeling of cheating is only there because for me, this is not "natural". We're forcing our bodies to do this. I don't think it's the same thing as exercise, because we have to use these devices. Strictly speaking, I think the only "natural" way to make your breasts grow is by gaining weight or getting pregnant. But that's just me. In the end, all that matters is that noogling makes breasts grow and it's all breast tissue, not plastic.

Now, now girls. Let's not think or consider this as cheating in any form or fashion!

We do what we do to look the Best we can. We wax, pluck, primp, etc... we are constantly using artificial products to make ourselves appear beautiful and desirable.

I for one am not going out without putting on my face and doing my hair. It not goinna happen. We spend endless hours in front of our mirrors attempting to look Perfect.

I pay a lot of attention to my eyes and if I do no more than my eyes and lips. I pay attention to my eyes.

We watch our waist. We eat less/diet. We exercise to slim down. Plenty of girls buy all kinds of slimming/exercise gadgets/machines. Why is exercising our Breasts any different and why should a stigma attach?

Personally I want my breasts noticed. And really the only ones that will raise a big question are college/school friends that you have not seen in years that notice a huge difference.

Those we see regularly will suddenly come to the realization our breasts are bigger, but really not know why. What shame is there in saying I have been exercising my breasts?

After all there are suppose to be Brazilian Butt exercises to increase the size of ones butts.

Flaunt your girls and be proud. That's my intentions!

Love you all Cherry

 

[missamanda]

DJ, you're totally correct - there's absolutely no need to explain ourselves. I could potentially feign complete ignorance as to why my tiny breasts have suddenly decided to grow all by themselves in my late 30's. Unfortunately, my friends are a bunch of old cynics! I am too proud to admit to noogling, so some pseudo scientific algorithm for weight gain, hormonal fat distribution and possible metabolic changes may need to be rehearsed. But there's still plenty of time for that I guess.

Hmm... I have to say Zercher, I don't think of noogling as cheating either - actually, padded bras are probably more deceitful, but that hasn't stopped me from wearing them You're right Cherry, there is artifice in so much we do in order to present the best versions of ourselves (I have personally had laser eye surgery, extensive laser hair removal and worn braces - twice!) and it's not as if any of that makes us all frauds, just...er... ambitious?!

It's personal preference whether you like a more low-key or full-on look. Not judging either way. The great thing about noogling is that it caters to the whole spectrum. I may stop once I get my B cups. Then again, I may not! Either way, I'm just so grateful that there's a way to finally achieve the feminine shape that my stunted puberty deprived me of, without resorting to implants. And I don't think of it as 'forcing' ourselves to grow either - it's more like encouragement! ;D

[zkk]

Oh you guys make me feel like I'm too cynical ;D It's true that we already do so many things to improve our appearance, and most of them are artificial in one way or another. The only difference is that noogling isn't socially accepted. I don't know if it's the same elsewhere, but in my country we have the Breast Enhancement Taboo - you can do whatever you like to your appearance, but if you dare to do something to your breasts, you are a bimbo, shallow, desperate, vying for attention... it's funny actually, but the stigma is there, whether we like it or not. Anything that does make breasts grow breaks that holy unspoken agreement to settle for what you were given. Because you supposedly can't change them without surgery. I think that I have the same right for proper breasts as any woman, and more than cheating, it is claiming what I feel I am entitled to, but most people wouldn't agree with me if I tried to explain it.

But why is it a taboo? I think breasts have a high symbolic value. Much more than other body parts, they represent a woman's sexual "market value" and so any attempt to make them grow is understood as an attempt to climb up the social ladder. But this is only a cultural thing and not something we should accept the way it is. I'm by no means thinking of anyone of us as a fraud - it's the breast taboo that makes me feel like I was cheating by breaking the norm and expectations.

 

[missamanda]

That's very interesting what you say about the breast enhancement taboo in your culture and I can certainly see why that causes you to feel uncomfortable about noogling. On the other hand, taking control of your body and "claiming what you feel you're entitled to" is very empowering, whereas conforming to society's expectations is not. I think there must be a bit of a maverick streak in all us nooglers!

So go forth and noogle - whether that be quietly, loudly, surreptitiously or blatantly - whatever. There's no shame in it. If we're doing something that makes a positive difference to our experience of own bodies, it's all good. And there's no need to feel we have to explain or justify it to anyone if we don't want to.

 

[zkk]

Amen to that!

 

[Cherry 4 U]

We women have been oppressed for ages. We were expected to stay in abusive relationships that sometimes led to a woman's death because of Society's Taboo on Divorce. A woman was just expect to take that lot in life and live a miserable existence.

In many Societies a woman could not Vote, run or Hold a Public Office. I believe Margret Thatcher in the 1980s changed the world a lot for us. Only a mere 35 years ago.

I'm not a Liberal Feminist, at least I don't believe I am, I wear my bras I don't burn them. lol I don't Protest or sign things, but I'll be damned if some one is going to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. For the most part I am Pro Life, but I reserve the Right to an Abortion if I feel the need as is Every Woman's Right. We should not have to explain how we became pregnant, Rape, Date Rape, Accident, Unwanted, etc... I don't believe Abortion should be used as Birth Control.

Some Cultures they Circumcise Women so they receive no Pleasure from Sex to keep them Faithful to the Men that Screw Everything that walks by. I've been on sites that Muslims say they would not be caught dead with a whore, but yet they are soliciting constantly.

We live in a World of Double Standards Perpetuated by Both Men and Women.

I say we need only to Please Ourselves and if Enhancing our Breasts is what we want, so be it!!!!! It is NO ONES Business, but Ours and We need Only be Comfortable with our Decisions and Our Bodies.

People will get over us having an Abortion, getting a Divorce, getting Larger Breasts, even becoming Lesbians, etc...

The ones that have the hardest problem getting over these issues are US!!!! In the end it isn't so much Society's Taboos as it I Perceived Societal Taboos, People Really don't care that much.

Update: 2 months

No change. Actually, I achieved significant swelling that was really filling out my bras but due to the extra exercise I've been doing lately I lost a little weight which really set me back. I've also just had some dental surgery and have been on a liquid diet for a couple of days which hasn't helped my measurements. On the plus side, because I'm house-bound due to the swelling and bruising I have plenty of time to noogle. Hopefully I can catch up.

I'm beginning to see why this is such a journey of ups and downs.

 

[James]

Last month you said you had trouble with the dome staying on. I was wondering if you have now got past that point and able to move around while noogling? Have you done any long sessions?

 

[missamanda]

Hey James. The domes are staying on better, but not enough to move around so I'm still stuck lounging in front of the TV. I can't use any more pressure than I'm already using because it's just too painful - the breast turns purple and the dome digs into my chest too deeply (I have no fat on my torso so there's simply not enough cushioning.) However, I manage to do plenty of massage first then 2-3 hour sessions most days.

Although I've only lost about 3lbs, it's completely obliterated all my swelling so I'm working on rebuilding that. It's disappointing, but hardly surprising. I like being lean, I just don't see why I can't have full breasts too. I refuse to accept that it's an either/or scenario!

 

[James]

Keep up the good work. As you know NBE is a long and slow process. I also think it is important to take breaks, maybe two consecutive days a week? Happy noogling

 

[tinytots]

What do you tell people when they notice your breasts are bigger?! (By 'people' I mean nosy friends or annoyingly observant family members)

I just started noogling today and I am already pondering over possible reactions from friends and family "if" there's eventually a noticeable augmentation. I figure I'll just tell them I'm on contraceptive pills or something, I hear that some women even note a 2 cup size difference when they're on the pill. If that's too far-fetched by then I'll just say I'm on PM. At this point I don't see myself actually being able to tell anyone that I'm using pumps, perhaps I'll grow out of this feeling one day...

 

[missamanda]

Sooo....
I've had to lay down the domes and stop pumping. I discovered a small pea-sized lump whilst massaging yesterday. It's at the base of my left breast, right where the rim of the cup sits. I naturally have quite 'grainy' breast tissue, which is apparently normal for some women. I had noticed a grainier texture in the same spot after starting the NB process. It feels as though I may have aggravated the area because it's a bit tender. Anyway I went to my local doctor and explained the whole noogling thing - which was a bit awkward as I hadn't planned on talking about it to anyone. She didn't seem to think it was anything to worry about but it's routine to be referred to a specialist so I have a hospital appointment next week.

I guess I'll have lost all my meagre swelling by then, but I'd rather not aggravate things further. I'll keep you posted.

 

[tinytots]

Sorry to hear that missamanda, hope it's nothing serious. Let us know how it goes, sending some hugs your way.

 

[missamanda]

Thanks. Will do xx

 

[missamanda]

I went to the breast clinic today to see the specialist regarding the small lump I found last week, which had already shrunk in size. The specialist said it was a blocked lymph node probably due to the noogling and would settle on its own. She reassured me that noogling is not dangerous or damaging to breast tissue as long as you pump and release rather than pump and hold - so no overnight noogling folks. However, she said research shows that it really stretches skin causing breasts to droop and cannot actually stimulate the growth of glandular tissue. I told her about all the incredible success stories on this forum of people increasing several cup sizes and she said that's due to fat growth not glandular tissue and as such will not be as firm.

So what I'm taking away from this is that I can stop noogling and keep my small but firm breasts, or I can continue noogling and grow fuller, but softer/droopier breasts. If I'm one of the unlucky ones who doesn't achieve any growth, at least I will have stretched the skin enough for a fat transfer, which will still create soft breasts anyway. To be honest, the reason my breasts are so firm is because of a lack of fat. They'd actually look and feel more 'normal' if they were softer!

Anyway, I'm surprised to report that I actually missed noogling this past week. Or rather, it felt weird watching TV without a dome on my boob! So I'm getting back into it with a hydronoogling session to catch up. Now the weather's turned cold, I may have to take more noogle baths anyway, the heat really helps.

 

[tinytots]

So glad that the lump isn't anything too serious and it will go away on it's own. Thank you so much for the information you got from the doc. I for sure would not be courageous enough to even talk about noogling with a doc. So she actually confirmed that noogling can help with fat growth? That's good enough for me to be quite honest. Now if only I could get fat to stay put in my breasts that would be great.

Exxellent info about the safety of noogling too!

 

[missamanda]

Considering I was there because of the health of my breasts and she's an expert in all things breast related, I felt it was the perfect opportunity to get a medical opinion on noogling. She didn't even bat an eyelid, so she's obviously well-versed in breast growth techniques. It was reassuring to hear what she had to say, although she wasn't entirely convinced that fat growth is a given. I should probably add that she didn't seem to think that supplementing with hormones was a great idea - that it tends to lead to more issues. I didn't question her further on that because I have no intention of using hormones - the contraceptive pill wreaked havoc with my system when I took it years ago.

If she'd mentioned any negative health implications associated with noogling, even if it was guaranteed to give me voluptuous breasts, there's no way I would be able to continue. Sitting in a waiting room full of women with various stages of breast cancer is a very sobering experience.
