This inspiring message was shared by Clara Dao, among others, whose video served as the starting point for this article. She encourages people around the world to love themselves and celebrate their uniqueness.

Influence of the media

In today’s media-driven world, there is a prevalent image of the “ideal” body, often portrayed by curvy models with larger breasts. This image can lead to unhealthy comparisons and feelings of inferiority for those who don’t fit this mold. Clara emphasizes that this stereotype should not define one’s self-worth. She encourages people to critically scrutinize the media and move away from unrealistic beauty standards.

The importance of self-confidence

Regardless of breast size, the key to feeling sexy and confident lies within yourself. Clara passionately argues that self-confidence, self-love and self-esteem are the true ingredients for sexiness. She emphasizes that true beauty comes from within and that self-acceptance is the key to a fulfilling life. If you believe that you are sexy, no one can take that away from you. Your self-confidence radiates and attracts others.

Chest size: Irrelevant on the whole

We want to emphasize that once you learn to love yourself for who you are, the size of your breasts becomes irrelevant. It’s about appreciating your unique beauty and understanding that true connections are built on character, personality and intellect, not just physical features. Clara encourages you to celebrate diversity and individuality and to let go of superficial judgments.

Not every opinion counts

We recognize that personal preferences vary, and some people may find small breasts unattractive. However, we strongly emphasize that it is not necessary to put the opinions of others above your own self-perception. There are people who appreciate and love flat breasts just the way they are, and those people are the ones who matter. We encourage you to focus on those who value real personality and not just superficial features.

Journey to self-love and self-acceptance!

In summary, her story encourages us to embark on the journey to self-love and self-acceptance. She reminds us that we were created perfect and that true beauty lies in accepting your individuality. Accept your uniqueness, be good to your body and be proud of who you are, because you are beautiful just the way you are. In a world that often pressures us to conform to certain standards of beauty, loving yourself unconditionally is a powerful act of resistance and self-empowerment. This story aims to encourage us to free ourselves from societal stereotypes and celebrate our own beauty in all its facets.

“We think small breasts are wonderful”

FIV: How have you personally perceived your experiences with a smaller bust size? Have you ever experienced challenges or insecurities about your body image?

We think small breasts are wonderful just the way they are. We have small breasts ourselves and feel completely comfortable with them. Our cup size was never an issue for us – only when buying bras. We were usually recommended a push-up bra straight away to solve our “problem” of a supposedly “too small” bust.

But we never wanted to hide our A-cups behind push-ups or artificially enlarge them. And we just couldn’t find anything that really suited us. We changed that and founded our label to do just that. Because we want all women with a small bust to feel beautiful and feminine.

“Beauty standards are just a cliché”

FIV: Society often conveys beauty standards based on larger breasts. How did you deal with these beauty ideals and what impact did they have on your self-esteem?

Beauty standards are just a cliché. Fortunately, our self-esteem is not dependent on our cup size.

FIV: Body positivity is an important approach to promoting a positive body image. Can you tell us how you started to accept and appreciate your body and especially your breast size?

It’s a real shame that you have to promote a positive body image first. As I said, our breast size was fortunately never an issue for us. We only realized through our work that this is the case for many women. Their breasts are somehow always too big or too small. Either way, we think they are just right the way they are.

“Breasts and bras are symbols of femininity”

FIV: To what extent do you think the portrayal of body images in the media plays a role in the perception and self-confidence of women with smaller breasts?

Breasts and bras are symbols of femininity, even for women with small bust sizes. We all grow up with ideals of beauty and are influenced by them, whether we like it or not. Even as teenagers, we learn what breasts are supposed to look like, and at the moment that still means “bigger”. As a result, many people still see their A-cups as “too small” and even as a “problem”.

Why is that, we asked ourselves? Because there are already so many great women with small breasts in the media who are wonderfully self-confident about their bodies.

That’s why we think this is an important topic for us and the next generation and want to encourage everyone: Small breasts are great and just as feminine as other breasts! This should actually be a matter of course, and we are working on it.

Small Boobs Positivity Movement

FIV: The small boobs positivity movement has gained attention in recent years. How do you see the influence of this movement on society and the self-perception of women with smaller breasts?

This is a very important development that we have been driving forward from the very beginning. For years, we have been campaigning for women to change this self-perception through press campaigns and social media. However, we can say from our practical experience that not much has changed in society as a whole, which can be seen just by walking into any lingerie store: padding, push-ups, breasts are still often given a standardized shape. Instead, we think that you can use the small cup size to your advantage: lighter designs with less fabric and more skin, that’s feminine and sexy.

“Who should influence this ‘body image’ if not us”

FIV: What advice would you give to other women who are struggling with insecurities about their breast size and how they can develop a positive self-image?

Take a close look at how many women in public life actually have small breasts. You’ll be amazed at how many there are. And even more surprised that you all find them beautiful and that this is not due to the size of the breasts, but to the person as a whole.

FIV: How do you think society can help promote a more inclusive representation of body types and broaden beauty ideals to include women of different breast sizes?

We women in particular can do this by simply showing ourselves as we are, according to our personal style. Who should influence this “body image” if not us, now and today? Body ideals in a society only change slowly. We can’t wait for someone to make us feel good about ourselves. Who should that be? Fortunately, we can decide for ourselves. That is our personal freedom.

Small Boobs Positivity!

FIV: Finally, what do you think the message of Small Boobs Positivity should be, and how can people help create a supportive environment for women with smaller breasts?

We can encourage each other to move away from the usual clichés and show how many women already think and feel differently. For example, we have launched the Instagram campaign #SMALLBOOBSPOSITIVITY. We are calling on women with small breasts to inspire each other to be positive about their small breasts. Because the message is clear: A-cups are wonderful just the way they are, small, sexy and feminine.
