My personal Dilemma with the #saggyboobsmatter Movement


It is no secret that so many women do not like their bras. Can you blame us? They are uncomfortable, fabric fashioned as restraint belts that we must strap ourselves into daily. Society has an affinity for supple, perky, and round shaped titties. We can't escape it.

Every pubescent girl exepriences the dreaded event of bra shopping. After walking walking into Victoria's Secret and selecting the cutest bra we can find. You walk into a fitting with room with a complete stranger who wraps measuring tape around your bare chest three different ways ways. RThe stranger then looks you in the eyes and says a number and a letter (or letters). "38F"

Its your bra size. All women know this number is the second most important number after your social security number and more important than your birthday. No matter what, remember your bra size.

Although bra size is the second most important number combo in a woman's life, the female breast changes at least 4 times in her life span. Navigating around these changes can be quite a nuisance. Especially when these breasts do not fit the standard looks of cup, supple, and dainty breats.


In response to the unattainable expectation of breasts, a blogger named, Chidera Eguerrue has declared that #SaggyBoobsMatter challenging unrealistic standards for what breasts should look like. If you go to Cidera's instagram account, you will find pictures of her happily braless, and carefree.

Her inspiraing journey to reclaim her breasts in their natural state inspired me to go braless from January to June this year. I wear a 38H bra size. Thats right, thats not a typo, my breasts are an H cup. I also fluctuate between a size 12 and and 14. I loook like the average consumer of of media and fashion.


While embracing the saggy boobs matter movement and seeking out other bandwagoners, I noticed the lack of representation. It is easy for women who wear a size 8 and bra size of 36B to go braless than an average size woman.

As you can see, I have got some knockers on me. And so do my friends.Being without a bra was tough, My close fit differently, some better and some worst. I sweat in places, I never thouse I would. I foound out that our breats all need to realease tozins through sweat. But at the end, I decided to not continue bralless, because fo discomfort. I now wear bralettes that stay true to the natural shape of my breasts.


The saggy boobs matter movement could stand to be inclusive of all women with natural breast who choose to go braless even if they are full and have a little hang time or not socially accepted nipple placement that stare in a staraight horizontal line. I am definitely pulling an #AllSaggyBoobsMatter vs #SaggyBoobsMatter here. Saggy braless boobs have been acceptabnle since the 70s but big saggy titties are excluded in the images of a braless lifestyle. Lets include all boobs in our adoration for an open minded society that does not objectify the woman body/
