Hey Julie, I am no expert but having had natural breasts from puberty I would say I think breast tissue it's self is softer than the muscle under you breast, but more rigid than the fat you develop over it. The stringy stuff you describe is probably the glands inside the breast they tend to swell up when receiving estrogen then once the estrogen slows down or stops they go back into hiding. The glands do grow and contract but breast tissue can be lost also. If you go on a diet and exercise routine and lose weight. A good example of what can happen to breasts is Lindsay Lohan she had great breasts then when she started her partying and lost a lot of weight they disappeared. It happens to a lot of people for various reasons. I hope this helps.
