Wow! Thanks for posting this. Way cool.

[happyhippiemama]

Wow. Anyone go into the other folders?

This one of babywearing, I love.

I do feel that instant connect with all of these mamas. How beautiful.

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.

I'd like to relate something sad, I use a Mozilla Firefox add-on called Stumble, which lets you view random websites based on your interests, and you can also rate sites as you come upon them, and I added this beautiful site to Stumble, where I discovered that someone else already had and tagged it as porn! I'm upset, but have no idea how to make them remove the tag :

Now thats a great argument against the "breastfeeding causes sagging" excuse

I would guess that the women with the very perky breasts are just very young . . . I think women in all cultures get sagging as they get older (especially in cultures where bras are not worn). Here are some pics of older women . . .

They are still beautiful, IMHO. I wish we as a culture weren't so afraid of the natural changes our bodies go through with time.

That's too bad . . . there are pictures of naked men and boys there, too, but certainly none of these photos are sexual in any way. Maybe they should have a separate tag for nudity, if people feel they need to tag it. It's certainly not porn.

Oops, I was wrong. Apparently studies show that bra-wearing does not prevent sagging and may actually make it worse.

Here's a collection of pictures of normal breasts of all different types and sizes. (pages 1,2 and 3 are from women who have never been pregnant, and A, B and C are women who have been pregnant). I love the fact that the site is encouraging women to love their bodies the way they are.

Oh, and here's a most fascinating site I just found about the benefits of going braless.

[neverdoingitagain]

I read the first article you posted about bras I'm going call going braless "therapy"

I signed up and tagged it as "mothers"
Purple kangaroo - I really liked that site you linked, It's true that you only see maybe 5 other women's chests in your life time (provided you're straight)
I'm kinda glad I surfed in here today, I don't normally come here, you guys can get... "intense" but I still love you!

I still have two left...

What struck me in these pictures is that the infant is one with the mother and one with the breast. If you see a baby, you see a breast. In contrast, many American babies are one with the bucket seat.
I'd love a "coffee table" book of these pics to share with others.

Now off to do more research on those lip plates....

I have the american version of that piercing. the labret. Some tribes do it to signify they are married. I would never stretch mine, I like using a straw!

thanks for sharing. breastfeeding is something that connects us women, truly universal.
