Does stuffing your bra mess with breast development?

[AbbyJamz]

I've been dressing for work for the past week and a half now.  I'm really starting to feel better about life and such, but I have a bit of a concern.  My breasts are nearly as tender as they have been (sometimes not at all).  I've been wearing a bra and stuffing it with some really soft cozy socks.  They aren't pressing up against me really tight or anything, but I'm a little worried about anything messing with potential breast development!  Any of you beautiful ladies have any opinions/answers?  I'd really like to put my mind at ease!!! :-|

Never hurt an girl who has done it.  And there are a lot of girls in schools who do.

It's no different than a padded or shaped bra.  No effect on what estrogen and spiro do for you.  Just ask any girl who still sleeps on her stomach.

Ok, good to know.  I guess it's just a coincidence that my boobs aren't hurting as much right now.  Just scares me to think that development has stopped for some reason!

it could be the bra, not the stuffing causing the lessening of sensitivity.  bras cut off circulation and bloodflow to the breasts inhibiting growth.

Underwire bras are the worst and should be avoided like the plague while still developing. Opt instead for a bralette, soft cup, or sports bra. They are all supportive but don't put as much pressure on the lymphnoids nor do they cut off circulation as much.
