Aside from being a source of food for tiny humans, our breasts are also the reason we can\u2019t button our shirts properly, something that hurts us during PMS and jogging, something that we have to cover up on most beaches with swimsuits that get increasingly harder to find\u2026 need we go on?<\/p>\n<p>Despite the litany of drawbacks we just listed, we are pretty appreciative of our boobs (and our partner probably is too!), but when is the last time we really celebrated having them?<\/p>\n<h3>Top(less) o\u2019the Morning to You!<\/h3>\n<p>Sunday nearest August 26th is Breast Appreciation Day (it\u2019s actually Go Topless Day, but this sounded better) and we think you should celebrate it to the fullest. The premise is very simple. Everything you usually do at home, do it topless.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s right \u2013 cook topless, have coffee topless, eat topless, watch TV topless,\u00a0<i>but<\/i>\u00a0<i>no touching allowed.<\/i>\u00a0If you want to spice things up even further, throw\u00a0a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/spotlight-lelo-remote-control-sex-toys\/\">remote controlled sex toy<\/a>\u00a0into the mix. You\u2019ll both be crazy before the end of the day. Of course, you get to decide when to stop playing hard to get, but the naughty minds at LELO recommend you hold out for as long as you can. Play clueless and let your breasts do all the work for you\u00a0 \u2013 though if you\u2019re looking to accessorize, they may take\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/what-exactly-are-nipple-clamps\/\">nipple clamps<\/a>\u00a0as a hint.<\/p>\n<h3>Treat Your Breast Friends Right<\/h3>\n<p>While we\u2019re on the topic of your giving your boobs attention, when was the last time you gave them a closer look? We\u2019re talking an actual hard look that gives you a double chin. If you\u2019re reading this at home, take a minute, get topless in front of the mirror and see what they\u2019ve been up to. And no, no need to google Pink Ribbon Day, it\u2019s not in August. But\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/its-time-to-go-topless\/\">breast cancer awareness<\/a>\u00a0should get more media time than just that one month.<\/p>\n<p>Doing a self-exam isn\u2019t hard or time consuming, it\u2019s just a matter of taking your breasts (and health) into your hands!<\/p>\n<h3>Check Yo\u2019self to Protect Yo\u2019self<\/h3>\n<p>Yep, we\u2019ve all heard it before. When you\u2019re lying in bed, or contemplating your life choices in the shower, extend your arm above and behind your head and feel around your breast with your opposite hand. You may feel weird giving yourself a boob grab, but it\u2019s totally normal \u2013 and should become routine. Some things you want to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t neglect the area around the breast. Everywhere from the armpit to the nipple to the tissue surrounding your ribs.<\/li>\n<li>Your breasts have a lot going on inside, including tissue, glands, and fat. So don\u2019t be scared if you feel different things going on in different places.<\/li>\n<li>If you do notice something out of the norm, don\u2019t freak out! Open up your phone notes and record it. Our breasts change throughout our cycles, so give it a few days and check it out again. If it continues, give your friendly doc a visit and follow up about his trip to Bora Bora last year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While even the thought of breast exams can be scary because, let\u2019s face it, being naive is easier than worrying there\u2019s something wrong, preventive healthcare is so, so important for women. It\u2019s likely that someone we love will or has already been affected by breast cancer, so let\u2019s own our healthcare this Go Topless Day!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, we\u2019ll leave you with some surprising&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facts About Boobs!<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all breasts are created equal.
