Ok so after messaging in depth with a fellow user over a bra swap and reading an interesting user blog, I have a question about projection.... So I assumed my breasts were not projected because they are quite deflated and flattened out at the top of my chest however as another user phrased it projected means "the breasts do not hug/sit close to the chest wall". I thought my breasts were kind of pendulous fob deflated on top but now I'm starting to wonder if they are actually more even (kind of flattened out and deflated all over) and projected because when I bend over and let them hang, they hang quite low and my nipples point to the front (like fob shapes) and towards the right/outside of my breast. Anyone have any idea what this means? Am I more projected than I thought? I always assumed projected meant how much they jut out or more perky self supported and taking up forward space. I hope this makes sense. Why do brad have to be so complicated?! lol!!

I think you are right in thinking you are more projected. As far as I've figured out this rather mystifying concept of projection, it indeed refers to the breast tissue being more away from the body, and I think that includes more pendulous boobs that go down a bit more as well as self supporting boobs that go out. As far as the FoT/FoB thing goes, what I have found most helpful was not the bending over test (based on that I would be even), but how my boobs behave in bras, and they definitely behave more like FoT boobs (quad boobing, top edges of cups cutting in).
projected has nothing to do with self supporting. I'm 50 and nursed 3 kids. I'm a 32 J and my boobs hang almost down to my nipples. But they stick straight out from the bottom - cups that are shallow at the bottom of the cup and come out in a nice gentle curve dont work. I need a bra that comes straight out at the bottom.
but I guess there is a slight difference between 'immediate projection' which is what I described, projected at the bottom, and general 'projected' - which means that your boobs come away from the body rather than being spread out across your chest. Like the same volume of boob thats spread side to side, shallow and wide, vs narrow and sticking out more.
