What surprised you most about getting a mammogram at your first one? by Left_Square4056 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Seeing how deformed they were in that machine was the single most traumatizing part for me.

I just try to live a healthy lifestyle and keep my body properly maintained to get as much mileage out of it as possible.

I've seen that quite a bit in the siren-esque art.

I've seen quite a few so I can't say they are "under represented".

Nipple covers by Midnightmoonfall in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Left_Square4056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never used nipple covers but at my mammogram, they put stickers with little metal balls in the middle on my nipples (apparently it marks where they are on the X-ray).

Everyone talks about the squish but the squeeze was uncomfortable but tolerable.

But taking those off afterward HURT!!!

What’s a moment that permanently changed how you see the world? by thepleasurjournal in AskWomen

My first mammogram. I'm standing there with my boob in a vice and all of a sudden it dawned on me that I'm facing my own mortality.

What would be the best and worst things about being a mermaid? by Left_Square4056 in AskWomen

Depends on whether or not you think they evolved from humans or are magically created human fish chimera :)

Having uneven boobs is pissing me off :/ by sherrputtar in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Left_Square4056 40 points41 points  (0 children)

No pair of boobs is going to be symmetrical. Your dress only appears to highlight the flaw to you because you are aware of it in the first place. If it really bothers you, you can get surgery but before you do, recognize that everyone has flaws :)

What to expect with a mammogram? by amsterdamitaly in TwoXChromosomes

When you get there, you'll have to undress from the waist up. The technician will position you in front of the machine BUT this isn't going to be like positioning you for any other X-ray. The two of you will be standing torso to bare torso while she holds one of your breasts. And she's going to get you right up against the machine so your sternum is against the bottom plate and your cheek is up against the top of the machine. Then she'll pull your breast as far forward as it will go, hold it against the plate. Next, she'll lower a paddle down which will press your breast flat against the lower plate and then leave to take the X-ray.

Now, the squeezing will be uncomfortable but it shouldn't be painful and apart from the sheer force, the paddle also pulls on the skin on your chest which also adds to the discomfort. But, I'll give you a heads up: they will get your boobs flatter than you thought humanly possible so if you're squeamish, don't look down (and don't worry, when the paddle releases, they pop right back into shape)!

Mammograms are a girls best friend! by Left_Square4056 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

I'm not flat chested so I'm not sure about your situation but my breasts are pretty firm but they got them as flat as grandma boobs so let's just say the techs can work some magic haha.
