L.S.
I've had about 6 mammos now. I think the key is to time them around your period (ie when you're not retaining water and therefore more tender). I'm a bit smaller (b cup if you squint real good), so maybe that's why I really don't think they're bad at all. The only awkward thing is holding the pose while they take the picture. I've never thought of it as painful though. Good luck!
