An Embarrassing Development

Looking in the mirror I could see there was an issue - I had obvious, slightly pendulous, rounded breasts and dark nipples.

I'm not sure how I hadn't seen this development.

My theory is that the breast tissue had developed pretty quickly towards the end of the time I had been taking Finasteride.

Since that day - about 2½ weeks ago - my breasts have become very uncomfortable. They are slightly tender on the outer edges, and aching on the top. My nipples frequently protrude and become very sensitive - occasionally feeling like an electric shock has gone through them!

The measurements are 40 inch ribcage and 42 inches across the breasts - making me a 40B in UK bra sizing.

There's definitely a bounce and vibration problem! Using stairs and exercising makes them very, very obvious and they become quite sore. In a car even on a smooth road, they vibrate and become uncomfortable. Lumpy roads are exhausting.

Apart from my breasts being pretty obvious under everything except the loosest of tops, my nipples are a particular source of embarrassment

In the next post I'll look at ways of dealing with this.
