None of those 16 yo girls in my high school who could hold a pencil were considered saggy.

They were considered sexy.

I was HOPING to be able to hold a pencil under mine

. I like that look!! It's partly why I went bigger. And I can't.

Pre-breast augmentation the pencil would have fallen (I believe). I have always had a slight fold under my breast, so with my breast augmentation I was hoping I'd have more perk to my chest and I didn't get it. I had never heard of this test until my breast augmentation. I was scared to do it though, I knew what my results would be w/o doing it.

Hey Jess, I"m one of the two people who said that I'm over a year post op and the pencil dropped but I decided that my vote doesn't count because my boobs aren't exactly the norm out there. *sigh* I'll never feel sweaty under my boobs (that was kinda what I was looking forward to when i got my breast augmentation; I remember my mom with her ginormous boobs having to wipe sweat from under during the summer time) sorry, alittle gross.

Debb · 03-15-2007, 10:49 AM

I thought it would stay. Even after my lift it looks like it would stay but it fell. Doesn't matter to me much either way. I only cared that they looked natural.

Jess I have to say, don't sweat it. You look great! I wear a 32dd also but I swear mine don't look like yours.

Thank you Jacqelinert - I remember this from HS too! You WANTED them to hold a pencil - if you couldn't, it was a sad thing! I had a friend who couldn't and she'd say "at least I'm perky" and the rest of us would think ... um... it's kind of impossible to sag or to be perky if there's nothing at all there.

And sag (ptosis) is supposed to be if your nipples are lower than your crease. Mine weren't pre-breast augmentation and they surely aren't now. I only had my breast augmentation on Tuesday and they're riding much too high for me to try the pencil trick, but two months from now I darn well better be able to hold a pencil under them, or I'll be sad girl!

You count, Kayoko! You count to me.

It hasn't been hot enough for me to sweat under my boobs, lol. I do have to lift them in the shower to wash under them, lol. My grandma had huge saggy boobies and she had to lift them too, lol.

EWALINA · 03-15-2007, 12:26 PM

my pencil drops....but if I'm sitting (slouched) it stays. I'm still happy w/results almost 2 years post op from first breast augmentation.

Jiggle · 03-15-2007, 12:45 PM

My pencil drops for sure. I'm with Kayoko... I sort of wanted there to be a folded crease to hold stuff.... that seems more "natural" to me. Ah well. I'm not complaining though!

Fashionknockout · 03-15-2007, 01:18 PM

I just did the pencil test and mine fell.
I think I have a little more dropping to do, but I hope with time my boobies stay nice and perky.

JACQELINERT · 03-15-2007, 02:39 PM

Who ever uses a pencil anyways? It would be much handier to be able to hold a cellphone (a la Jody

) -- or a roll of cash maybe.

I also wanted my pencils to stay, but they didn't preBA (never tried, but I KNOW) - and they don't now either..... but again, not complaining.. I think they eventually will, one day!!

I too like the more "saggy" look (if you call it saggy - i'd say "natural"), as long as all you can hold in there is a pencil... or a few bills (NOT a CELL PHONE for Christ's sake!!)
LOL!!

I bet I could, lol.

Should I try it??

Ina · 03-15-2007, 05:07 PM

As a friend of mine put it, it's OK and actually nice to be able to hold a pencil under your breast, maybe even two, but when you can hold 3-4 pencils or an entire pencil case you need to start considering a lift!

YummeeCookee · 03-15-2007, 05:12 PM

My pencil fell right away, but I can just jam it into my cleavage bc theres plenty of that now!

I can happily say that I can not hold 2 or more pencils! Yay!

Laura1974 · 03-24-2007, 01:14 PM

This is a cute poll. I'm laughing cuz I remember in high school it was a good thing if your pencil didn't drop cuz that meant you were well endowed! With my 36AA's I had nowhere to even begin to put a pencil, and that was quite depressing, ha ha! Anyway, I guess now we want perky, and with my 36D's the pencil still drops AND I'm well-endowed, yay!

aprilh323 · 03-26-2007, 01:58 PM

"I don't have a pencil" That was great....when I read it I was like, hhhmmm...I really can't find one!! hahaha...but now that I got one; the pencil did not fall....although I am going on 6 weeks post-op.

karenb · 03-26-2007, 02:19 PM

No pencil dropping for me. In fact, I'm still dropping, so there is not even a crease to place the pencil yet lol

Minla · 03-28-2007, 04:50 PM

Mine dropped on the right, but on my left it didnt

Maybe I am bottoming out on my left?? I am gonna watch it.
PS- I used a crayon. Couldnt find a pencil. ha
