Title: My boobs hurt...
Post by: JohnAlex on May 24, 2011, 01:02:54 AM
I'm not sure why.   They've hurt before.  but after I started binding, I noticed that when I took my binder off, then my boobs would hurt.  It kind of feels like a bruise.  and it specially hurt to be topless and bend over, causing my boobs to be really hanging without support.  I almost can't bend over sometimes when i'm not wearing a binder. 

And even when my boobs hurt, if I put a binder on, then they feel better.  But this does kind of concern me because it doesn't sound like a good thing that the binder causes them to hurt.  So I haven't wore my binder in over a week now.  but they are still hurting.

Any suggestions?   Is this bad?  Should I stop wearing a binder?  Should I just wear my binder all the time so they don't hurt?

I'm thinking it's the tissue getting broken down.  I know mine hurt when I'm going down the steps.

So it's nothing bad?  I should keep wearing my binder?  When will it stop hurting?

How long have you been wearing a binder?

If I remember correctly, when I first started wearing mine my chest would ache a bit, and I'd have to scratch and rub them after I took my binder off because that was when the pain was noticable. However, after a while it stopped and now I don't get any of that kind of pain. I think it might just be the weight of your chest getting used to new possitioning, but I could be wrong. ???

oh I've only been wearing a binder for a few weeks.  So yeah, maybe that is it.

mine do that too every once in a while in certain areas of em after taking a binder off, I'm pretty sure it's the tissue being broken down. feeling like a bruise is a pretty good description, i couldn't come up with anything better. that and i knew i didn't run my chest into anything  :P isn't that odd when you look wondering if you'll see red marks or giant bruises and see nothing out of the ordinary?
