No need magic cream.
No need silicon implant.
No need padded bras.
The trick is to gather all the spare tyres under your arms and tuck them into the bra. Voila! Fuller breasts. If you’re as thin as a reed, then sorry-lah. You’ll have to resort to the above.
While we’re at it, you might like to check out this site for some interesting information on bras. Apparently bras do not help in preventing sagging and may even cause breast cancer.
Bra-wearing has been linked to breast cancer in a study done by Sidney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer. They found, for example, that women who wore a bra 24 hours a day had a 113-fold increase in breast cancer incidence compared to women who wore bra less than 12 hours daily! They suggest that bras exert enough pressure to the breast and surrounding areas to inhibit the flow of lymph, which then causes toxins and other waste material to remain in the breasts instead of being flushed out.
But I’m not about to burn my bras. Gotta defy gravity somewhat. Besides, going bra-less is not decent and is certainly not acceptable in our culture. Bedtime is different, gravity pulls in a different direction when you’re horizontal. Elsewhere, women are going back to Cavemen days.
hahaha..good one Lydia..but i dun have enuff spare tyres to tuck it in my bra la. hahah..altho i’m not thin either.. well, i for one am happy with my bust size..dun need it to be bigger. hahahha..
oh, yeah..i’ve read bout the bra causing cancer and all..it’s always very bad to wear one 24 hours a day..;o)

Lydia, I actually write an article on this once in Starhealth. It is true. After writing that article and researching it, I now wear bras that are 1 size bigger and try to go without wearing them as much as possible.
I still go for the Triump Maximizers to make my cleavage look deeper. They are quite comfortable.

Wah, Lydia, your pic at top left looks gorgeous. That hairstyle is perfect for you — youthful-looking and sexy.
As for bras, when I was a teenager, I wore a bra 24/7 — even to sleep! It was terrible business buying a bra; it had to be thick and firm enough to hide one’s nipples but not so thick and hard that it was like wearing a coconut shell. Nowadays, who cares, right? Oh, what, you mean Malaysian society still has to be protected from the suggestion of nipples?! Hey, only aliens from outer space have none…

Marsha, how about getting Kleenex to appoint you as product endorser?
Kak Teh, I got plenty too, even though I didn’t fast and berbuka.
Xeus, thanks for verifying that. Readers, please note that Xeus is a medical doctor by training. Triumph very expensive lar.
Argus, thanks for the compliment. That pix was taken after I went for a free make-over by Estee Lauder. My face had on an extra-inch of make-up, that’s why it looked so nice. I used to wear bras 24/7 too and only wised up much later in life. Yes, Malaysian society is not so open as to let nipples protrude suggestively everywhere. And that’s not a bad thing either, in my books.
EW, glad to have contributed to your mirth. There are lots to be thankful for when you’re a guy, biologically speaking.

i think it is the ‘wire’ type that cause the trouble, they are normally ‘tighter’. So wear the loose type la, but that u cant really pull in the tissue and make the sexy look,
…..braless….cool, like J-Lo. But we will then either end up in court for causing mishap or we shall see many guys end up having high blood and bleeding nose! Kekekeke

Blinka.li, no bleeding noses or high BP if the chest is like runway.
Bib/Argus, wobbly comes with age, can any amount of squashing help?

Dear Lydia,
This is an interesting post! It caught my eye. My girlfriends and I were just chatting about this topic yesterday. Kids growing up in the US does not have the problem you describe. I guess it is the amount of fresh milk that we drink here. As a joke, I told my girlfriends, what if I start drinking non-organic milk (hormon-filled)? One of my girlfriends said it is too late for me because my growing period is over. Too bad!!
Your idea on squeezing fat is good. I too, have this idea but more squeezing fat from the thigh and leg area, onto the area where I needed it most.

mrshbt, are all American girls well-endowed? Mmm, must not let the young girls know. Before you know it, they’d be pestering their parents to send them to USA. If they’re from wealthy families, well and good but poor parents where can afford to send them to Amelika?

Yeah, I was fortunate enough and I thank God for my parents. Actually, they spent all their money on me that my other brother and sisters have to eventually migrate with my parents to New Zealand. Even with all my parents savings, I still have to work as a teaching assistant in the university. Each generation is better than the next. As parents, we want our kids to have a better life than us. My parents sacrificed their lives for me. And as a result, their grandchildren is having a better life. Yes, my kids are spoiled.

Talking about bra, recently my wife bought two wired bras for my daughter and it gave me a jolt in my pocket. For such a small piece of material it cost from RM100 plus and mind you it’s during mega sale.
If I am a female, I’ll go bra -less, don’t care if it sag, anyway it will sooner or later – who cares. What do you think ladies?
