More changes
I want to keep track of how my chest changes as I'm using better bras. This is the second post.
I can't wear my old bras anymore. They're uncomfortable of course, but I used to be able to wear them all day and now it hurts so. much. after a few hours. It seems that my boobs are getting more projected and narrow. I'm happy with this as it will probably make them easier to fit. Interestingly enough, my best fitting bra doesn't fit as well anymore, it seems too wide, so the boobs haven't adjusted to that one. Maybe it's one of the others or maybe they're coming back to a "normal" shape. It would make sense because they used to hurt in the sides and I would feel compelled to push them forward at the sides. There's a lot less of that now.
I've measured my over bust 2-3% bigger than normal. The perimeter is the same. I think that indicates all of the above, but I'd like to repeat it later on before making that conclusion.
With the narrower roots I might actually need smaller cups than I initially thought, but that remains to be seen. I have also noticed my tissue in the outer upper quadrants is getting firmer. I'm becoming more sensitive to gores cutting into my close set boobs. My inner lower and/or upper quadrant must be getting fuller. Makes sense if they're in a sense being pushed together.

Your root is getting narrower? That's amazing. I had no idea that was possible! :-)
I have noticed many changes since I've been wearing bras that fit that also have good shape and support. It blows my mind, to tell you the truth.
I'm still getting used to this whole idea. I figured I would find the right size, bras that suited my shape, and be finished with the whole subject for the rest of my days. Turns out it's way more complicated than I thought, and way more interesting. I love learning about all this!
Yeah, I don't know what to think. Maybe it's not so much the root getting narrower as it is the tissue around it that has moved? Makes me wonder what really defines the root. Anyway, I like the change!
