First Breast Self Exam Experience

1. How did you feel?

2. How old were you?

3 Did anyone help or you did it yourself?

4. If you did it alone where did you perform: While in shower or somewhere else?

5.Did you perform both in standing and lying position?

6. Has anything changed in the way you perform it now as compared to the first exam?

Forgot to add in my responses😃

I was 18 years old when I had my first Breast Self Exam.

I was slightly nervous but also little excited to start something new with my body. I had been exploring my breasts already.

Mom helped me in performing for the first time. She held my hand and asked me to feel if I had any lumps

I performed it in my room

First I did it in standing position then I lay on my bed and did it in lying position

The only thing that has changed is that since I started my annual physical at the age of 23 I do the exam on a fixed day every month and obviously after the first time, mom was never present. I do it in the night before going to bed

I’m a trans guy who still has breasts.

I first started doing them after reading about them on the internet. I was starting to get into med fet then so it sounded like something interesting to do. I was probably about 16.

Even although I’ve never liked my breasts I felt kind of excited to be doing something new.

I did it on my own, in front of the computer, when the rest of the family were out. I spent a lot of time going over each part. Only did it sitting.

Now I tend to do them in the shower at the start of each month. If I’m doing play exams then it’ll happen more often. I pay special attention to the area where I know I’ve got a cyst.

I would be curious to hear more responses from our female members.
