Hello.
i am 38, my kids are 10 and 8. This is my experience. Wore a 34B before pregnancy but that is so long ago I bearly remember what they actually looked like. During pregnancy they went up to a 36C. i recall the amazement when I had them measured! They were full and looked great until they became dwarfed by my massively increasing belly....
I breast fed both kids for a year. I don't really remember what they were like after my first child. But I distinctly remember after the second, when they had emptied after a feed they were soft and tiny and scary looking ie 'what the hell is this?'
After I had finished breast feeding I was in a 32c bra which sounds ok but isn't when the contents are soft and deflated. Also not all 32cs are rhe same! Some are much roomier than others.
I have now been doing NBE for 2 years with more or less enthusiasm and I can say they are fine. not brilliant, but perfectly acceptable. Fuller and firmer and without the saggy soft look. More meat when squeezed and more cleavage in the bra.
i don't regreat breastfeding for one moment. i don't know how they would be had I not done it. But I don't think now you would immediately point and say 'that woman breast fed for 2 years.'
All in all I feel that at 38 and after 2 years b feeding and 2 years NBE they are about as good as i can get them. B feeding changes things without a doubt but things can always be improved.
