No matter what someone else has said about us, good or bad, we are often our own harshest critics, and when it comes to our bodies, women tend to be particularly harsh on themselves. The size and appearance of the breasts is often a particularly sensitive issue, so let's start with the most important thing - healthy, beautiful breasts come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes!

The best thing we can do is to get to know them, accept them, enjoy them, take care of them and pamper them, thus taking care not only of our health and appearance, but also increasing self-confidence and well-being.

Choose the right underwear

"Underwear is not for seducing a man, but for realizing yourself as a woman," said the well-known multi-artist Dita von Thies, who is often considered an icon of sexuality. Attractive, high-quality underwear is really not worth saving just for dates or especially romantic moments with your loved one. The beauty hidden under the clothes, known only to the wearer, also improves the mood and raises self-confidence in everyday life, almost literally changing the wearer's posture and body contours. On a daily basis, it is important to make sure that the bra comfortably supports the breasts, does not press, does not rub and does not cause unpleasant sensations. If there are pink marks on the body after taking it off, you need a slightly larger size. Larger breasts will feel better in underwear with wider straps. Also when playing sports, it is important to choose a fitting sports bra suitable for the specific physical activity, because during training the chest moves not only up and down, but also to the side.

A study published in the fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar reveals that 80% of women wear the wrong bra size, so it's worth taking the time to try it on and find the right one. The choice of materials and models is truly wide these days, from bralettes and balconettes to corset-type and half-cup bras for particularly spicy moments. On the other hand, in moments when you want to give your breasts freedom, choose a shirt or nightdress made of soft, skin-friendly fabric.

Take care of the delicate skin

The skin on the chest is particularly thin and sensitive, so, similar to the face, it also deserves gentle care and care, although it is not revealed to everyone. Like any part of the body that inevitably accumulates sweat, dirt, dust, the chest should be washed with soap or shower gel and then pampered with a moisturizing body care product. The main thing is to avoid creams and lotions with overly strong perfumes and irritating ingredients, but you can also choose firming creams created specifically for the skin of the chest and even masks that can help prevent pigmentation, signs of aging, restore skin elasticity and moisturize it. On the other hand, in summer, it is important to arm yourself with a sunscreen to keep at hand when sunbathing not only "naked" or in a swimsuit, but also wearing a top with a deep neckline.

Breast tissue is affected by various events in a woman's life - weight gain, weight loss, pregnancy, menstrual cycle, so it is valuable to combine the application of the care product with a self-massage that improves blood circulation and lymph circulation, which will also allow you to get to know your body better and reduce stress.

Indulge in pleasure

Breasts are an erogenous zone and involving them in intimate play can provide truly pleasurable moments. Journal of Sexual Medicine writes that more than 80% of surveyed women feel arousal and pleasant sensations from stimulation of the breasts and nipples, but a small number of them can even achieve orgasm.

It is not for nothing that a series of breast toys , erotic accessories and intimate cosmetics were created to enhance feelings. Breast pumps, with or without vibration, promote blood circulation and, with the help of a vacuum, help the breasts to swell and make them more sensitive, while breast clips allow you to play with softer and stronger sensations. However, not all women enjoy the same caresses. Some like a wilder approach, others' breasts are too sensitive to be touched at all. Get to know your body, don't be afraid to touch yourself, understand what turns you on and let your partner know it! Emilija Nagoskas 's book «Love who you are » dedicated to female sexuality will be useful for getting to know yourself, which has gained popularity all over the world and has now also been translated into Latvian.

Reduce risks

Breast health is affected by factors independent of us - those related to genetics, certain hormonal processes in the body, and those that we can change, for example, our lifestyle. Sufficient sleep, healthy diet, no alcohol and smoking - the well-known mantra also applies to breast health. Making drastic lifestyle changes isn't easy, but by gradually making more and more healthy choices, new habits are formed that your body will thank you for. Regular physical activity not only reduces the risk of breast cancer, it also has aesthetic bonuses. Correct posture and certain upper body exercises can make your breasts look firmer, just be careful not to injure them during sports. Exercise also helps maintain a healthy body weight, but there is no need to worry. The health risks do not lie in a few extra kilograms, but in an increased weight according to the body mass index.

Schedule self-tests

Just as we mark an appointment with a doctor or a hairdresser in the calendar, at least once a month every woman is invited to reserve a mere ten minutes... for a date with her breasts, or for self-examination! It's great if you can schedule it at the same time every month, because it allows you to get to know your breast structure, how it usually looks and feels, and to notice any changes early on. When you feel something unusual, you should not immediately worry, but go to the doctor - for your own peace and safety. It is recommended to perform a self-examination a few days after your period, when the breasts are less sensitive, but even if the scheduled date has already passed, it is better to do it later than to skip it. Women at different ages have different check-ups that your doctor can tell you about, but this monthly ritual is a convenient and quick way to take care of yourself and make sure everything is okay.

Breasts are as different as we are. Love yours!

Every woman's breasts are different - they can be similar, but not the same. The human body is not perfectly symmetrical, so it is quite normal for one breast to be larger and the other smaller. The size, color and shape of the nipples are also different for each of us. There is no one way a woman and her breasts should look in order to be attractive to herself and others. Often, owners of larger breasts wish they were smaller and vice versa, but accepting and loving your body is a truly liberating experience. Experiment with tighter and looser shirts, different types of necklines, wider and narrower straps - find clothes in which you feel good and don't reject compliments if the other person gives them! Believe your partner when he says your breasts are beautiful, even if you don't feel the same! And even if you want to make more serious changes to your body, make sure that you do it only for your own physical and psychological comfort. After all, breasts, while wonderful, are just breasts. It's a very small part of what makes you who you are!
