A bigger chest - help

Yep I know this will probably cause hysteria but I do want a bigger chest and am not rich enough to get implants! I have been on the buy cosmetics site (cheap!!) and have found supplements which are supposed to improve your cup size, is it a con? Does anyone know anything that works or do I have to get a wonderbra, chicken fillets and a man who has poor vision!?!
Thanks

    Wait until you become middle aged - you'll find you swell up quite a bit...

    Levity apart, I have to say that I wouldn't honestly bother. Most of us have bodily bits we're not happy with (in my case it's my head, face, and in fact most of my body) and these become a bit of a proxy for other insecurities about ourselves. You need to work on the insecurities, not the body.

    In common with most men, I suspect, I'm not above a little light lechery in the area of substantial sub-cutaneous fat deposits, but then again in terms of the women I actually like and spend time with, it's absolutely not an issue at all. Attractiveness is nothing to do with chest size, it's more about positive self image and confidence, and most men - at least the nice ones - will move past the surface gloss quicker than you might believe given our lamentable tendency to have our brains in our trousers.

    On the other hand I don't know of many men other than those driving HGVs that would be anything other than completely turned off by the idea of implants.

    So really, we have the answer to the age old question: really, size is not important, it's what you do with it. Now if we could have a definitive answer to the same question from the female half of the room, it could save me a lot of pumping on Dr Wolfgang's patent male enhancement machine...

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move discussions from the MoneySaving boards if they’re not related to MoneySaving to help everyone find the MoneySaving tips and discussion quicker (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to Discussion Time/The Arms. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Supplements won't work ~ I wouldn't bother spending your money on them. Imo :)

    Surgery is the only thing that worked for me :o and I haven't met anyone yet who isn't appreciative :p

    Increasing the size of your pectorial muscles will lift and push out your chest. Unfortunately it means: Bench Press!!!! And plenty of it.

    Don't be afraid of what some people seem to pigeonhole as a "man's exercise" as it will give you nicely developed arms, back, tris and bis too!!!!

    My wife has the same problem bless her.

    If there's one thing I've learnt in my short time here, it's that no matter what size you are, women will never be happy with themselves, no matter how much we tell them they look incredible.

    Unless they're Angelina Jolie.

    Majik's tip of the day number 143 - If your man compliments you, say a genuine thankyou and appreciate that he means it!!!!!

    You are so right - we are a nightmare!! I saw the offer in the beauty supplement and they were on special offer. I should know better really, guess I was just hoping! Love the sound of the bench press idea - actually who am I kidding it means going to the gym but if its worth it I will give it a go.

    Just a thought, but were you for example to take a photograph of the offending articles and attach them to a poll, we could rate them for you?

    But I'm sure they're absolutely lovely.
