In my recent quest for a light-hearted read, I stumbled upon a book titled The Hamilton Affair, which is a Lin-Manuel Miranda-inspired historical fiction. It promised some steamy moments, but instead, the most risqué scene involved Alexander Hamilton catching a glimpse of a woman’s breast through a daringly low neckline. In that moment, he reflects on the allure of a woman’s breast who hasn’t been through the rigors of motherhood. Thanks for that reminder, buddy, from all the women who’ve nursed and experienced the inevitable changes in our bodies. Our breasts may not be what they once were, but they still deserve celebration—can I get a hashtag for that?!
My own journey has seen my once-perky breasts transform significantly. They’ve gone from being chin-high to more like saggy tangerines in a sock. They’re still ample, but gravity has taken its toll, leading to a natural separation that requires some manipulation to achieve a flattering cleavage. Eight years of nursing three energetic boys have certainly shaped my body in ways I never anticipated.
Sagging breasts aren’t just a mom thing; they’re a natural and common occurrence for many women. This is where I found inspiration in the work of a remarkable British blogger, Mia Thompson, who calls herself The Body Advocate. Mia shared her journey with Buzzfeed News, highlighting her frustration with the lack of representation for sagging breasts during her teenage bra-shopping days. She once considered getting a breast lift but eventually decided to ditch the bra altogether at 19, embracing her body as it is.
This led to the creation of the hashtag #SaggingBreastsMatter, which Mia uses to promote body positivity and encourage women to embrace their natural shapes. Her empowering images have resonated with many, including popular social media influencer Sarah Johnson.
However, Mia has faced her fair share of criticism, particularly from men who mock her stance. “The feedback has often been sarcastic and demeaning,” she shared. One user pointed out, “Next time a man asks why your breasts sag, remind him that his own body has its imperfections.” Preach! Yet, not all comments are supportive; some detractors suggest that if Mia worked out, her breasts wouldn’t sag so much.
Even a music producer created a meme comparing her breasts to a dying phone, which he later deleted. Mia wisely observed, “Cyberbullying is still cyberbullying, even if you’re a public figure.” She’s learned to rise above the negativity, recognizing that societal views often reduce women to mere objects of desire.
From one woman with sagging breasts to another, keep embracing your body. Mia radiates confidence and beauty, and by normalizing sagging breasts, we pave the way for a more inclusive definition of beauty. Body positivity comes in all forms, whether it’s about size, shape, or sagging breasts.
