Saggy Breast;The Misconceptions.

Scrolling through Whatsapp status, I witnessed a new campaign on a friend's status. She is an advocate of saggy breast.  Saggy breast simply refers to fallen breast. Don't be ashamed if you have a saggy breast.

The human body undergoes changes, therefore, we need to understand and discard these misconceptions about saggy boobs that makes others have low self-esteem.


Read this conversation I had with one of your ancestors on the issue of fallen breast. So this is how it started .....





BEGINNING OF CONVERSATION


Abugre(Scrolling through her status, I ask a question): Tell me more about the saggy boobs.

Pardikie: Its a movement by the author of what a time to be alone -Chidera Eggerue
On instagram as theslumflower. I like how bold she is in going against the status quo and representing women who have saggy boobs.

She wants to normalize it,and I want to as well. I used to have a low self-esteem because after losing so much weight my boobs became saggy.

And it seems so petty an issue but it drained my self-esteem. Because even family members made it seem like u are not normal. Till I worked on my self and became this confident😉.



Abugre (shy and anxious): Did you have a standing breast ?

Pardikie (laughed): Lol ...Oh yes when I was very young, but then I started gaining weight and being on and off, gaining and losing weight and it made my skin loose and saggy, especially the breasts area.


Abugre: Why do you refer to your breast as saggy?

Pardikie: No, its a dictionary word.
There's perky for standing breasts
And saggy for fallen breasts.

I actually got to know about this movement from the slumflower on Instagram.... and I'm planning on creating some awareness in my own small circles.


Abugre: Interesting.

Pardikie: So I'm preparing an article on that.


Abugre: Boobs are part of a woman and they play a critical role in her life.

Pardikie: Definitely


Abugre: Which group of people made you feel bad about your boobs? Men or Women?

Pardikie: Well in S.H.S I couldn't bath with the girls in the open bath house because they will pass silly comments and it was annoying because I saw their imperfections as well but I didn't think it was abnormal.


Abugre : So what has been the misconception about saggy breast ?

Pardikie: Oh most people say that for a young girl to have saggy boobs then she must have been promiscuous.


Abugre: So sad.

Pardikie: Lol.


Abugre: Did you try to do anything to get a perky breast?

Pardikie: Lol not to alter it with surgery or anything besides I can't afford surgery.
However, I tried natural remedies like carrot, cucumber and Shea butter which helps the skin but it doesn't guarantee it becoming perky.


Abugre: Will you have opted for surgery if you had the money ? What happens to the skin?

Pardikie: Never honestly, before, I would give that a second thought if I had the money but for now... I've grown so much in my thinking that I know surgery doesn't solve low self-esteem issues because it is deep rooted in our minds and perception. After the surgery then what? Will you alter ur butt as well ? Then what ? Your nose ?

Oh no, I want to be the lady who was confident and different.

I owe me now to God, my mum and the slumflower for letting me know that I can be everything I want to be, no matter what the world says. That's how people make history.



Abugre: I'm grateful for sharing your story with me.

Pardikie: Lol sure❤ grateful for listening to me as well.


Abugre: Do you have friends who have saggy breast?

Pardikie: No I don't.

Abugre: Alright.
