I've been on estrogen for nearly 17 months and my breasts have been at least mildly achy the whole way through. Inevitably this has led to some shockingly painful incidents. From time to time when this topic comes up for discussion we hear a lot about doors or door frames. I, however, would like to hear the weirdest, most foolish and unexpected/unlikely ways you've hurt your 'youngsters'. I'll go first:
Tonight when I got home from work I removed my jacket and then reached for the switch to turn off the porch light. I must have built up quite a sizable static charge taking off my jacket because as my hand touched the metal switch cover I received a massive shock. I pulled my hand back reflexively so fast that I smashed myself square in the right boob really hard. :o :o Ouch-ouch! That was two shocks in less than a second - possibly a new record? Stupid! Then my mom asked me what all the noise was about... :embarrassed:
Ok, so you get the idea. Now let's hear your strangest tales of woe!
Early in transition, I was drying myself after a shower...stepped out of the tub to dry my feet, put one on the side of the tub and bent down "Oh DAMN!" as I squashed my left boober on my thigh.
I said I'd never do that again...silly me, I know it takes several such incidents to make the learning stick.
Lol. Just closing a fridge door in a shop. My scream brought the shop owner running out from the back. [emoji1]

I thought for a moment you were going to say you zapped your boob!
The soap suddenly slipping out of my hands in the shower and hitting me directly on the left nip. :icon_cry:
Isn't the world just full of boobie traps?
Tripping over the dog and collecting the kitchen bench top with my left boob, cracking a rib and being in agony.
Anyone want a dog skin coat?
Opening a door the wrong way (it didn't open) hand sliding off the door handle and then punching my self on my right boob.... that hurt for a few hours! But I got over it.... hmm maybe that's why they are a little smaller than I'd have hoped, always doing silly things that puts my boobs in "smacking" way...
Thanks pollypagan

Just sneaking this in here. I got stomped by a horse. Left a horseshoe print encircling the left one for weeks.

Ouch.... "that had to hurt"
Not something I'd like to feel, even before...

I hit my boobs by accident all the time. But I think the stupidest ways that they hurt are the ones that are completely independent of my involvement. Like turning in bed, climbing stairs or getting up too quick.
Although I do have to admit that it took me a while to learn how to cross my arms in a way that I don't smash them. I had a particularly painful and memorable experience in the line at burger king, which was pretty absurd at the time.
Hmm. Yesterday I received a big parcel in the post, which I hoisted on to my knee after lunch so that I could open it. I opened the first box and inside there was a second box. I opened that, and there was a third box inside (so far, so very matryoshka :p) -- with a handle. Somehow I didn't clock the handle, so I undid the clasp of that third box and tilted the whole package up... at which point the lid of the inner box (complete with handle) flipped open and the contents slid forward and hit me square on the right nipple. >.<
The one that gets me all the time is picking up my 1-year-old. It's getting to be a familiar habit--pick up, recoil, recover, play with kid.
She also co-sleeps with my wife and I sometimes, and has this habit of rolling around and kicking me in the chest in the middle of the night. Not a nice way to wake up at 3am.
Wow, there are some pretty 'awesome' stories out there! OMG Cindy and LordKAT - I'm laughing and cringing all at the same time!
Another incident of mine was while shopping for a shower curtain rod. The display had all the rods standing up. It was set up so they couldn't fall forward. I didn't notice that a shorter one was sitting off balance in a slot that would not trap it. The three-foot long rod fell forward, reaching maximum velocity as it arced 90 degrees and the one end perfectly struck my nipple as it continued to fall to the floor before I had time to react. Of course my reaction by then was no-longer one of catching but one of cradling... my boob! Ahhh! :'( I don't often swear, but when I do... $#@&*!!! >:(

..I'm either going to have to get a LOT better at this toy or stop playing with it altogether.
For the longest time I felt like my chest was on fire almost all the time. Also anything hitting in that area hurt like hell. Then it went down to just an hour or two an hour after taking my pill. Then it went down to nothing. I also noticed they weren't sensitive anymore and I stopped trying to protect my chest. Recently I noticed a tingling sensation an hour after taking my pills. I managed to bump my chest since I didn't care and guess what? They are super sensitive again. I guess they just took some time off.
mmm, mostly when just forgetting about them really >.>, e.g. when taking off tighter clothing.

Ooooo that sent a shudder running down the length of my spine. And here I was thinking it was bad enough when my cat jumped onto my chest when I was asleep.
That's what gets me when the cat or dog jumps up.

Yeah my dog loves to jump up on me and it usually involves claws to the chest. To make things worse I'm watching my parents dog and my dog's behavior is rubbing off on her. So now every day I get home I get greeted by both dogs jumping up and clawing my boobs.
Tell me about it those claws are the worst especially on the yellow lab I have.

Never ever put an epilator anywhere close to your nipples. It still hurts to think about it.
Oh the epilator! The memories still make me flinch. [emoji1] It's not a problem any more,in fact,I love my epilator, but oh jeez,the memories! [emoji1]
Car door seem to always be in the way of my boob. More then once I will have to admit.

Lol, nicely done :)
I went to snap closed my aluminum work clipboard and when I did I accidentally caught the corners of it on my nipple and snapped it closed with my nipple in it. I was sitting in my work truck and there was screaming you could probably hear outside very easily
Yup Epilator definitely a no-no... :'(
Car door, Ooh yes started to open it then it pinged out the rest, fast.... Yeow!
Thanks for reminding me AnonyMs and Mrs Izzy
Guess I am just clumsy!

Madison (kiara jamie), Wow that must have hurt for hours if not for days, I would have screamed too. You must have reacted quickly to get it open to get your poor nipple out.

Wow, that's crazy-bad! Most definitely in the true spirit of this thread. I think my nipples just inverted in fear!

I just love how we're drawing in sympathy from the FTMs with this topic. We've found some unexpected common ground! I'm sure when the sentiment "I feel your pain" on support sites came into common use
this wasn't exactly the subject matter envisioned.
Epic thread.
I don't have boobss yet but I am now afraid to have them. XD

Poked my nipple with a key while unlocking the front door. Don't ask how, I still haven't figured that out.

Hmmm, I'd been thinking about womens boxing chest protectors. Well, not seriously!
I've only been on E for about 2.5 months but horseplaying with your friend and giving eachother purple nurples is a bad way to find out that the meds are actually working. I almost died. Also I keep hurting them when I put my backpack on >.<

My first thought was, "Will this work with ALICE gear?" :-\
Maybe even paint a "Batwoman" symbol...? ;)
It just occurred to me that I'd better plan for such protection if I ever go paintballing again. I don't even want to think about what an unprotected shot in the boob/nipple would be like! I'm going to guess it involves fainting. I already learned the hard way I should wear a jock! :icon_eek:
Duh-nuh nuh-nuh nuh-nuh nuh-nuh... BAT-CHICK! Wait, that doesn't exactly have the same ring to it.

I mostly have to be careful when opening various doors, particularly the front door during warm weather because having a window open creates some amazing air pressure that will smack the door right into you
But probably the dumbest thing I've done of recent was to catch my boobs with my bicycle's handle bars when I had to flip the bike over to change out the snow tires for the regular street tires
Stupid me for forgetting how weak I'd become and how difficult the simplest of tasks are now, dang!!! Can't even wrestle a bicycle proper without being overcome and landing on my bum!!!
Sometimes I've to step out the running machine because I can't handle the pain of my nipples touching with my shirt, if I'm not wearing proper sport cloth. SO ANNOYING

It wasn't while putting snow tyres on though, it happened during routine maintenance on one of my elderly bicycles.

Love bicycles 8) Particularly vintage Schwinns, had quite a collection in younger days but several were stolen and had to sell the rest off
I really like those metal breast-plates. Custom fit would be of dire importance though!
I remembered a couple more stupid things I've done. The first was learning that trying to brush my cat's fur off my shirt is a painfully bad idea if not wearing a sufficiently-padded bra.
The second came about after growing out my hair for a while. It's now nipple-length meaning it requires a lot of brushing-out. This resulted in striking the hard bristle tips down across my nipples. It didn't take many times making this mistake to learn to be more careful, especially after hitting them without a shirt on! YELP! :o It felt like I got stabbed!
my worst was my son jumped up on my lap to give me a hug and a kiss and as he was doing that he knee'd me in the crotch and punched me in the boob, i was thinking come on both hurt like hell
also helping a friend move a washer, it slipped out of my hand and when it was coming down the buttons raked across my chest, that was not a pleasant feeling

I like English Hercules bicycles. My everyday bike is 65 years old and I love riding it. They are heavy though and with their big 28 inch wheels care needs to be taken while turning them upside down which is how I managed to dig the end of the handlebar into my right breast.
It's a pity that you had to sell off your collection, I'm about to do the same with all my old road bikes I no longer ride that are just gathering dust and taking up space. As for bike thieves, Grrrrrr....... :icon_chainsaw:

Been playing rollerderby for six years. I have crashed more than I can imagine and I found out long ago that boobs are nice padding.

I play ice hockey regularly so I have some idea what you mean. On good days it's like my old set of pads that had air pockets for extra protection. On sore days though a thump to the chest will leave me gasping!
Speaking of padding, my electrologist often uses my right boob as an armrest during treatment sessions. This was a bit of an uncomfortable shock at first! I tend to wear a padded bra when I go now.

I was well aware of it, but no one wears breastplates like those for protection.
Okay so I had another incident. My laser tech started to wipe marker off of my chest on friday and the first thing she did was hit one of them with the palm of her hand. Owww
