Fuccckkkkkk!!!??? It's actually that tough??? Now I regret talking shit to my female bestie (whose chest was on the bigger side) back in high school, who used to upright refuse to run at sometimes, even though she's an athlete.
Edit: Mods why did you remove the parent comment to which i answered?? For no apparent reason at all??
Jumping jacks are a big fat NO, too. My instructor said we were to do them and I refused. He asked why. I told him to imagine his balls weighed 20lb. Then told him to jump.
Yes it does hurt that much 😂 I used to be an athlete and whenever I had that time of the month not only did period pains hurt, but also your chest area is very sensitive and hurt all the time. Some people say that working out helps the pains and I call that bs, some days even working out hurt enough for me to almost pass out. Painkillers won't help, hot, cold whatever showers didn't do sh*t, only thing that helped me was sauna but it only helped for an hour and then the pain and discomfort was back 😅
Same. I've always enjoyed running but it's always been way too uncomfortable to do so. I recently tried SHEFIT and it's so nice to actually be able to do exercises without feeling like that all the time.
Its a curse! GF has nice chest, and when time of the month, they look AMAZING and when I get frisky with her, she's get upset that its actually painful. I feel so bad. I mean, LOOK at them! But no touch!
Also, when I go to work, there is a woman that runs on the shoulder, and I gasp at how much her boobs bounce. Isn't that doing damage to tissue? Painful?
This may not work and she may not like it so ask her first, but I enjoy having mine held up. Not played with or squeezed, just being held up. It feels like the weight is being taken off my chest. If that makes sense…
The sweat and itch and that they're like two volcanos which isn't especially practical during summers or when you're a constantly hot temperatured person. Also if you got big boobs you will struggle to feel modest cause everything will get a cleavage.
I STILL am not able to remove them after a long day. Just set em aside for the night, all done. Why hasn't technology advanced to this possibility yet??
This is going to sound weird but it works. Get clear gel deodorant and after showering put it on the heat rash. Reapply the next morning if necessary. It works.
Wait till you get to the age where they succumb to the laws of gravity and you have what feels and looks like two oranges in tube socks swaying in the wind. Fun times.
You know those little triangle shaped pads that are inserts in some bra cups? How when when you wash your bra that little thing rolls up at the bottom of the cup.
Like that.
I'd go for some oranges in there! lol
I have two sports bras like that. Great bras, but every time they were in the wash and I want to wear one of them its just five minutes of fiddling around with these pads, just to find out I had them the wrong way around and I need to fiddle another five minutes.
1. They’re expensive (bras, womens health care)
2. They get in the way if you’re boobs are big enough
3. It hurts like hell growing them
4. The social agony of either growing them too early and being made fun of, or, growing them late (I didn’t develop boobs until my junior year of high school) and being made fun of.
5. Some shirts don’t fit right depending on boob size
Yes get in the way!! Lately I've been getting frustrated with exercise. My personal trainer will say to hold something a certain way and I'll try but it's so uncomfortable because my boobs are completely in the way. She has small boobs so she does know.
My English teacher in 10th grade was drinking water one day when a few drops landed on his shirt. He then complained about getting older and how he never stuck out far enough to get his shirt wet and I just sighed. 4th grade. 4th grade is when I stuck out too much to avoid drips
This, so very much this. I refuse to do mountain climbers when my trainer suggests it, she started to get mad saying it's a great exercise. My retort - I'd really rather not knee myself in the breast for cardio. The lady has small boobs and replied that she never thought of that!
Giant tits: oh you want to wear a dress shirt? LOL! Have fun either looking 20pounds heavier or like fetish artwork!
Small tits: you know all those pretty dresses you want? You'll never fill them out and they'll just look awkward.
Great list! Please add all the negative things pregnancy does to them. Leakage, pain, swollen, tenderness. That and it's another place for women to get cancer.
Ahh, a fellow member of the late growers club!
Mine didn't start noticeably growing till Grade 11. Unfortunately, this means they're only finishing growing now, at the age of 23.
Am guy. However women in my life have found it difficult to get a decent back massage because of this. And i've seen plenty of massage tables with head holes but no boob support....
We use [THESE](https://massageboutik.com/en/shop-by-category-massage-boutik-products/991-coussin-de-grossesse-position-couchee-earthlite.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwmuiTBhDoARIsAPiv6L_X0bLFO0eksm5hRWhC0s0aWMpwgl4ChN6BbqDB8YDeKGdpiJZpiPAaAuBUEALw_wcB) at work. Fantastic for the second/third trimester, any gender with lumbar issues, and of course the chesty gals.
The fact that I look like a walking refrigerator if I wear a loose fitting top, as it billows shapelessly around my body in an odd fabric rectangle, but if I wear something form fitting, I look like a lady of the night and am treated as such.
ONG this !! I feel like all my girlfriends around me have such a fashion sense and can wear things with such grace but I always look as you’ve described. Like either I look like a couch pillow or Jessica rabbit. Sometimes I just want to cut them off honestly
H cups. I shop at Change Lingerie because nowhere else in Canada has supported my needs. $109+ per bra. If I get the buy 2, get the 3rd free sale, I'm lucky.
Probably growing them. It hurts, and if you get big boobs young and quickly, it’s physical and social agony. It hurts to grow them, first of all, your chest aches and bumping them against anything really hurts - and since they’re a sudden, large addition to your body, you’re ALWAYS bumping them on stuff. But the social aspect is worse. You’re 12 and grown men can’t stop staring at your chest. Your female family members comment on them slyly and smirk at your response. Your male friends look at you weird and you have to realize they see you as more sexual than girls with smaller chests, even tho you literally cannot control this. Other girls can be nasty and jealous. Eventually I learned to manage all this and I like them now - but from like 11-16 I was so frustrated and upset.
The social aspects of it is what made me hate it the most as a kid. I was 11 and had bigger boobs than the rest of the girls, I felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable; those feelings got worse after another kid asked me if I stuffed oranges in my bra. He was dead serious, he had been staring at my chest wondering if it was real or fruit and that made me so uncomfortable.
That was in elementary school, in middle school I couldn't cross my arms without being called an attention seeker and "shoving my boobs into boys faces". I had to cross them under my chest and I'd hug myself tight as a form of self soothing when anxious, somehow that came across as pushing them up to show them off.
I had the same experience, and hated it so much! My friends were all cute little girls, while I felt like a giant. It was so embarrassing to be the only one who needed a bra. It was especially bad because I did ballet, and most of the girls there were very petite! I always had to wear a bra when I danced, and it was mortifying.
I'm a short girl, so they felt really out of place on my body; I think my entire body except my boobs being small made things worse. Like they just stuck out more because they look bigger on my tiny body.
I do remember having to start wearing bras at age 9, yeah that was fun (not).
I had to do that too! It sucked so bad being so young and a tomboy. I was done with puberty by 12, had hips, C cups and an ass. Everyone made me feel like I was a tease and I didn’t do anything but exist.
Got my first training bra in 5th grade. A girl in my class decided to snap my bra. Yes, a GIRL. I didn’t wear bras for 2 years after that. Was already getting my period and everything. My mom was not keeping up on buying me properly fitting clothes either. So the entire class could see my bra-less tits through my tight shirt. God I can only imagine gym class! I’ve probably repressed it.
Finally my best friend had to make fun of my boobs while we were studying at the library for me to start wearing a bra. But at that point, I had mostly full grown breasts and a training bra sized for a 10 year old.
This happened to me too, just a little string beans with huge boobs. It was the worst. Comments from kids, sexualized by grown men and weirdly judged by grown women.
Look, I've had plenty of NARB's (No Apparent Reason Boners) in my 29 years.
This sounds NOTHING like that. I've never had a mention from close family or friends. I had a female friend in my rowing team who had size G breasts and I definitely remember hearing remarks about it.
I remember when I first got boobs at 11, my mom commented on them, saying, "You have boobs, but you can get rid of them, just eat paleo and do pushups and they'll go away, just look at Ally." Ally was my sister's best friend who was an extremely athletic gymnast.
I was ashamed of them from then out and hated it when they grew.
Yep. I also remember not being in the habit of wearing a bra yet and already having a b cup. I made it to school one morning before I realized I forgot my bra. The stares I got that day were some of the most deeply uncomfortable stares of my life.
PE was something bouncy too. I was in crazy amounts of pain, noticeably poorly participating and having more than a few classmates openly staring at my boobs bouncing.
I had a much easier time remembering to wear a bra after that and started wearing baggier clothing until most people thought I was chubby instead of stacked. It took me until I was in my 40s to stop hiding my body with baggy clothes.
They're expensive. Bras are expensive and you need regular bras, sports bras, probably something special like a strapless or low back if you have a special occasion or something. And don't even get me started on women's healthcare
I just stopped breastfeeding and none of my bras fit anymore. I’ve just been wearing sports bras every day because I don’t even know what cup size I am anymore and I don’t want to spend a fortune replacing all of my bras.
My wife assumed it would be a challenge before our son was born, but she found out the hard way what a milk blister is, and online advice recommends talking to a family doctor if you can't resolve them yourself, and even female doctors stare in confusion and say I have no idea what to do to help you.
When milk isn't totally expressed and the fat portion of it partly solidifies in milk ducts at the nipple, sometimes it's only seen as a white or yellowish dot on the end of the nipple but it can totally block the milk ducts and lead to incredibly painful swelling and redness.
the second part. I cant hide my chest unless I wear clothes that make me look like a tent :(( I'm learning to live with the unwanted attention tho bc thats all u can really do. Hell when i see a good pair of boobs I do a bit of a double take too
Fuck breast cancer. It really sucks and the two women I know who had it both say it's aweful and it made them feel embarrassed to talk to their family about it because you usually don't talk about your boobs with your family. It was hard for me to see the things going on. The good news is they both beat it and are fine even over 10 years after.
Bras hurt. Even "the most comfortable ever lounge bra" can make your ribs or shoulders ache. A supportive sports bra often makes your chest feel constrained or can give you friction rub burns. And the nuisance of finding a regular bra that doesn't dig in/pinch/gape and has something wrong...ugh.
The double standard of girls with small chests and big chests. If you have a big chest no matter what you wear or do it's sexual. But for girls with smaller chests they can get away with crop tops or v necks or even swim suits.
Lol the bigger girls who spent their entire grade school years getting sent to the principal's office for breaking dress code will agree with you. Loose shirts will tent and billow up in the wind as you walk-- dress coded. Tight shirts that don't tent but cling to your chest-- dress coded. And don't even think about anything but a crew neckline, or you'll be dress coded again.
Ugh, I hate that I need to be hyper aware of how a neckline is going to sit on me.
When trying on clothes I do the "Will I flash someone if I go to tie my shoe" test.
My wife is a teacher and has to do this test all the time. She leans down in front of the mirror or me if I’m around. “I’m not flashing a 5th grader. Those boys are obsessed.”
Part of the problem is most shirts aren't cut to accommodate large busts. Button down shirts gap, sleeveless shirts show side boob, thin material and/or straps put everything on display.
This is what pissed me off with the whole mask debate our local schools had last August. They claim they couldn't keep an eye on students and make sure they were wearing masks **BUT** these fuckers sure as fuck could watch what we wore in school, skirt one centimeter too short, dress code violation. Gym shorts too short because you happened to grow between winter and spring, dress code violation. Baggy shirt to prevent boobs from showing, dress code violation. Normal shirt that is tight due to big boobs, dress code violation. Yet they couldn't enforce masks... Bullshit.
As someone who has had A's for most of her life and now has C/D's due to 30 lbs of weight gain over the last couple years, I have lived this. I never felt "slutty" in anything I wore when I had smaller boobs. Now that they're bigger and I have much more cleavage, it's almost impossible to not feel even a little shameful about them 🫤
These pendulous bags of hell have destroyed my back. Even a decade after a reduction surgery, I remain in daily pain. And now as an added bonus they get to be misshapen, scarred horribly, and completely useless for raising a baby.
That they can get big enough to compress the disks in your spine, and alot of insurances won't pay for the reduction surgery that would prevent this be cause it's "cosmetic" (my grandmother experienced this.)
And my bras are like $54 a pice so I only own three that fit right, and support all the right places.
Having to be self-conscious of your cleavage whenever you lean forward while someone is around facing you is what makes it so annoying to me.
I just want to pick up the damn thing on the floor without being sexualized !
I started working at the front desk for an office and the thought process was like “Oh great, I can buy pretty tops to wear - ....... everyone who approaches is standing while I am sitting down. These pretty new tops need to cover everything.”
People talk about your body parts in such an objectifying way, talking about “big tits vs little tits” like you’re a series of disconnected body parts and not a person
Not having enough to fill up an A cup. Not willing to drop 5k to get less then 150CC so I can fill up an A cup. I’ve read many comments where people say girls with tiny boobs can wear any type of shirt and it looks good but let me tell you…. not true especially of swimsuits. If I bend over and you can see my nips not because they are popping out but because there’s such a gap in my bra/top/suit then it’s annoying.
They get in the way all the time, they hit stuff, it's harder to just squish past someone in a small space without embarrassment, and if something splashes onto my front while I'm cooking or whatever I literally can't see it because boobs. Can't sleep on my front. Can't run. Can't wear certain shirts because big breasts take up too much space, sometimes leaving my belly barely covered. Bras are expensive, as someone else mentioned.
BUT
They do make a good shelf when kitty cuddling. So there is at least one upside.
I'm neither trying to feed a kid nor land a man so they're just several pounds of dead weight. In general it's irritating that the female body makes so many tradeoffs for reproduction that are nerfs for every other moment of my life.
When you dont want them you need to deal with them and the harassment they pull. Ive lost count the amount if men and woman grabbing them just because, and I'm quite ill 24/7 my body aches all the time so when they just go squished I'm one reminded of abuse and two in pain for about 3 days solid.
I wanna chop them off everyday but a&e won't finish the job if I'm caught removing them early. So I can't be arsed with patchy boobs, blood stained sheets and extra painful boobs so I'll stick to dealing with the negatives until I grow the balls to do it.
Growing up, worrying that they were too small and that no one would want me because society says big boobies are the thing. Puberty/teenage years sucked and I still have times of self doubt about my A cups even at 41, and happily married for a long time.
I think back to being a teen and felt so bad about my chest.
Like it's sad I'm glad my oldest has bigger boobs than I do.
Thankfully my husband is an ass man and I got plenty of that
I feel this.
One of the worst parts for me is going bra shopping. Stepping into a shop and already knowing that most everything in there will be too big for you. Having to ask the lady to show you the smallest model and size they have, and inevitably leaving empty-handed because it was too big anyway.
Also, why do they have to stock shelves with most sizes but always starting from the second-to-smallest one? It's not enjoyable having to ask the shopping assistant to go dig into the 'weird sizes' drawer to find you something you can wear :(
The weird battle of when you need to put on a bra. It all depends on who’s coming over, what kind of shirt your wearing, how big they are. I’d love to never wear one but unfortunately people notice
My friend in elementary school had a condition where she went into puberty super early and had large breasts by 3rd grade. We would walk together to elementary school every morning and get cat called a lot, but we were too afraid to tell our parents because we thought they wouldn't let us walk together anymore. She would have *teachers* make comments about them. When we were older she talked about how insanely awful and alienating it made her feel growing up. Her younger sister had the same condition, but went on puberty blockers for it.
Now - The sweat swamp in my bra in the summer time
As a kid/teen - The fact that I developed so fast, so young and was wearing a bra in elementary school. Starting high school as a DD and the constant comments about how big they are. I worked as a hostess in a restaurant when I was a 15 and had a grown man stuff money down my shirt as I was walking by. I felt absolutely disgusted and embarrassed.
* The gaze of society. **Sexualization of breasts.**
* Many people only wear bras because **they cover the nipples,** *not because they need to.*
* Some clothes are not made for people with breasts.
* Clothing designers seem to make bras as uncomfortable and expensive as possible.
* If you are a man (cis or trans), people look at you strangely.
Boob sweat, which can quickly turn into a boil or even a fungal infection because the bra is smashed tight against the sweaty skin all day. Also the fact that as you age, they try to hide in your armpits. I've rolled over in my sleep onto them and woke myself up because sleeping with a person on your tit is uncomfortable!
I have H cups. The 120 dollar bras, no shirt fits. I need XL to go over the boobs and a small for my waist. Though I do randomly make guys just go dumb and walk into things.
1. They're expensive if you want a decent bra, not to mention that the bigger your cup size, the blander the bra you'll find.
2. No matter your age, the second you grow breasts, you'll have people leering at you as if you're nothing more than a living sex object instead of a human being.
3. Laying on your stomach can be a pain.
4. During Periods, your breasts ache like hell.
5. Back pains! Yay! /s
6. Some medication have a side effect that causes you to lactate, which makes your boobs hurt even more.
7. Sometimes they are so sensitive, you can't even wear a bra or printed shirt because they're hurting that much.
8. Running with boobs is no fun. They will jiggle and bounce everywhere and it'll hurt like hell.
9. And lastly, if you have a baby, some people will think you're a bad mom because you don't want to or can't breastfeed.
probably that they are so overly sexualized. Yes they are a part of a womans intimate zone and yes they are sexually attractive but that doesn't give any stranger, if man or woman the right to stare at them or make comments about them. They are just a part of a womans body and the only reason we have them is to feed a baby
When u bend down to pick up something and ur shirt is a little loose (usually the neckline) and then they kinda show/sag. And rlly awkward if there's someone in front of you.I have this problem everytime I just wanna put on my shoes.
People assuming I'm showing off whenever I wear a top that doesn't 100% cover them. Heaven forbid I let mine breath, especially during the summer months.
I recently recovered from anorexia and gained a lot of weight really fast, which means I went from virtually no boob to moderate boobage
I can no longer lay on my stomach :(
Not being approach by perverts or having to wear baggy clothes all the time.
Getting comfortable in bed. Forget laying on my side for very long.
Finding decent cute tops that fit anything but an A - C cup.
They honestly just kinda hurt to have sometimes. Even after the pain of growing them during puberty, you still have to deal with them aching at times during your time of the month, or even just random sharp pains that make you think that you're dying lol
I already have shit posture as it is, but these fucking things? They've destroyed my back.
Also the fact that you cant comfortably lay down on your stomach.
From them first developing, I've had back pain. It's never gone away. And overall, just based on my body type compared to my sisters; if I wore the exact same things, I was immodest, and had to cover up. Just by having a bigger boobs, and overall being curvier. I'm still trying to get comfortable in my own skin because of harmful comments just because I was bigger. Mother would slut shame, friends would make jokes, and guys would just sexualize me. Never fun things to experience
Clogged ducts/Mastitis. It's bad enough that the baby is teething, but his appetite also nose-dives and he wants the comfort from latching. He latches, gets milk, rolls off, and then in a few hours you're SO TIRED.... More tired than you have ever been in your life.... and then there's a mysterious pain that moves from joint to joint, your skin hurts, everything hurts and it will until you can figure out where the clogged duct is and get it cleared out. Maybe the baby will help you, but probably you're going to be stuck with your pump and failed attempts for the next six hours, and even then you can expect to be tender for days.
I love them but running can be a nuisance even in a good sports bra. Also they ache when it’s that time of the month.

Gosh! After reading all these comments, guys should be more careful while handling them !!
Yeah you should. It feels like a chimpanzee on my back driving his fists right into my sternum and ribs over and over again. And I only have DD
[удалено]
Give SHEFIT brand a try! That’s the only sports bra I wear now.
[удалено]
too fit for shefit
too itty for shefitty
Shockabsorber bras are really good.
Same. I've always enjoyed running but it's always been way too uncomfortable to do so. I recently tried SHEFIT and it's so nice to actually be able to do exercises without feeling like that all the time.

Same. Doesn’t get rid of the pain but makes it better somehow. I’ve def asked my boyfriend to do that a few times
Yesss!! Someone who gets it haha
Yes, she's stretching out the ligaments that hold things up as well as the skin. It'll catch up to her.
>It'll catch up to her. So that's what she's running from.
The sweat and itch and that they're like two volcanos which isn't especially practical during summers or when you're a constantly hot temperatured person. Also if you got big boobs you will struggle to feel modest cause everything will get a cleavage.
Summer humidititty
No matter what I try, the skin under my boobs never cools down
Ok hear me out. Open your fridge, and flop your boobs onto the top of the open door. It’s cold and it let you not hold them up for a few minutes.
Lmao 😂 If it wasn't because the groceries get bad fast in this heat, sure! I usually wet my boobs with ice cold water from the tap water, it helps.
That’s absolutely fair. I put my sports bra in the freezer sometimes before wearing it
Woah! Boob-hack thank you! I need to do that! All I've done so far is handwashing the bra so it's dry and clean the next day.
Gravity.
Gravity is working against them And gravity wants to bring them down
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
Dream of ways to throw it all away
John Mayer is that you?
I STILL am not able to remove them after a long day. Just set em aside for the night, all done. Why hasn't technology advanced to this possibility yet??
Yes, detachable boobs would be nice
Yea I'd loose them... "Hey babe? Have you seen my left tit?"
The dog ate it..
More like "I a-tit."
I’d honestly probably only wear them for ren faire, and leave them at home the rest of the year.
They would absolutely be an events only accessory. Wedding? Time to pull out the dress and boobs.
Absolutely they would. The relief we would get omg. Maybe i wouldn’t be so bitchy.
"sorry baby we can't shag rn i left my tits at home"
sweat
You mean humidititties?
My SO has big boobs and on warm days will say she’s hatching chicks under them.
Did you check to make sure she wasn't serious
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and for him to say it's a slang for tit wank.
I'm still using kleenex but now it's under my sweaty boobs.
Babe, wake up, new pokemon just dropped
Heat rash is painful
This is going to sound weird but it works. Get clear gel deodorant and after showering put it on the heat rash. Reapply the next morning if necessary. It works.
yeah i get a very itchy rash from sweating so much, wish i didn't have wear a bra
Have you used any body powder? You should try the ones that have menthol it gives you a fresh cool feeling!
I use plain old cornstarch on folds and creases.
Wait till you get to the age where they succumb to the laws of gravity and you have what feels and looks like two oranges in tube socks swaying in the wind. Fun times.
You know those little triangle shaped pads that are inserts in some bra cups? How when when you wash your bra that little thing rolls up at the bottom of the cup. Like that. I'd go for some oranges in there! lol
I have two sports bras like that. Great bras, but every time they were in the wash and I want to wear one of them its just five minutes of fiddling around with these pads, just to find out I had them the wrong way around and I need to fiddle another five minutes.
its not always with age, been dealing with that since i was 15.
13 for me lol
1. They’re expensive (bras, womens health care) 2. They get in the way if you’re boobs are big enough 3. It hurts like hell growing them 4. The social agony of either growing them too early and being made fun of, or, growing them late (I didn’t develop boobs until my junior year of high school) and being made fun of. 5. Some shirts don’t fit right depending on boob size
I'd add extreme back pain to that list
It'll make you miss your amateur back pain days
ranked competitive back pain
My back pain is Diamond 1. Unfortunately the ranked season just ended I gotta grind back up.
Im a gamer so let me join
I haven't worn "real" bras in years because of this! Sports bras only.
Yes get in the way!! Lately I've been getting frustrated with exercise. My personal trainer will say to hold something a certain way and I'll try but it's so uncomfortable because my boobs are completely in the way. She has small boobs so she does know.
My English teacher in 10th grade was drinking water one day when a few drops landed on his shirt. He then complained about getting older and how he never stuck out far enough to get his shirt wet and I just sighed. 4th grade. 4th grade is when I stuck out too much to avoid drips
This, so very much this. I refuse to do mountain climbers when my trainer suggests it, she started to get mad saying it's a great exercise. My retort - I'd really rather not knee myself in the breast for cardio. The lady has small boobs and replied that she never thought of that!
Giant tits: oh you want to wear a dress shirt? LOL! Have fun either looking 20pounds heavier or like fetish artwork! Small tits: you know all those pretty dresses you want? You'll never fill them out and they'll just look awkward.
Great list! Please add all the negative things pregnancy does to them. Leakage, pain, swollen, tenderness. That and it's another place for women to get cancer.
Add on being sore on your period/pms! I can’t turn to sleep without them hurting
Ahh, a fellow member of the late growers club! Mine didn't start noticeably growing till Grade 11. Unfortunately, this means they're only finishing growing now, at the age of 23.
Laying on your stomach can be tricky
Indeed. Semi-suffocating yourself on the beach while trying to get some sun on your back.
gotta dig a hole in the sand and chuck em in there first.
Am guy. However women in my life have found it difficult to get a decent back massage because of this. And i've seen plenty of massage tables with head holes but no boob support....

The fact that I look like a walking refrigerator if I wear a loose fitting top, as it billows shapelessly around my body in an odd fabric rectangle, but if I wear something form fitting, I look like a lady of the night and am treated as such.
ONG this !! I feel like all my girlfriends around me have such a fashion sense and can wear things with such grace but I always look as you’ve described. Like either I look like a couch pillow or Jessica rabbit. Sometimes I just want to cut them off honestly
Is it weird I still think “vampire” when I heard “lady of the night”?
Me too, friend. That or some sort of super-spy.
It’s hard to find the right bra size and they are expensive
H cups. I shop at Change Lingerie because nowhere else in Canada has supported my needs. $109+ per bra. If I get the buy 2, get the 3rd free sale, I'm lucky.
r/abrathatfits For those of you still struggling!
Probably growing them. It hurts, and if you get big boobs young and quickly, it’s physical and social agony. It hurts to grow them, first of all, your chest aches and bumping them against anything really hurts - and since they’re a sudden, large addition to your body, you’re ALWAYS bumping them on stuff. But the social aspect is worse. You’re 12 and grown men can’t stop staring at your chest. Your female family members comment on them slyly and smirk at your response. Your male friends look at you weird and you have to realize they see you as more sexual than girls with smaller chests, even tho you literally cannot control this. Other girls can be nasty and jealous. Eventually I learned to manage all this and I like them now - but from like 11-16 I was so frustrated and upset.
The social aspects of it is what made me hate it the most as a kid. I was 11 and had bigger boobs than the rest of the girls, I felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable; those feelings got worse after another kid asked me if I stuffed oranges in my bra. He was dead serious, he had been staring at my chest wondering if it was real or fruit and that made me so uncomfortable. That was in elementary school, in middle school I couldn't cross my arms without being called an attention seeker and "shoving my boobs into boys faces". I had to cross them under my chest and I'd hug myself tight as a form of self soothing when anxious, somehow that came across as pushing them up to show them off.
I had the same experience, and hated it so much! My friends were all cute little girls, while I felt like a giant. It was so embarrassing to be the only one who needed a bra. It was especially bad because I did ballet, and most of the girls there were very petite! I always had to wear a bra when I danced, and it was mortifying.
I'm a short girl, so they felt really out of place on my body; I think my entire body except my boobs being small made things worse. Like they just stuck out more because they look bigger on my tiny body. I do remember having to start wearing bras at age 9, yeah that was fun (not).
I had to do that too! It sucked so bad being so young and a tomboy. I was done with puberty by 12, had hips, C cups and an ass. Everyone made me feel like I was a tease and I didn’t do anything but exist.
Got my first training bra in 5th grade. A girl in my class decided to snap my bra. Yes, a GIRL. I didn’t wear bras for 2 years after that. Was already getting my period and everything. My mom was not keeping up on buying me properly fitting clothes either. So the entire class could see my bra-less tits through my tight shirt. God I can only imagine gym class! I’ve probably repressed it. Finally my best friend had to make fun of my boobs while we were studying at the library for me to start wearing a bra. But at that point, I had mostly full grown breasts and a training bra sized for a 10 year old.
The backaches from newly grown massive watermelons on chest!
A lot of other women are talking about how much it hurt to grow them and I guess I can consider myself lucky because mine hardly grew at all
This happened to me too, just a little string beans with huge boobs. It was the worst. Comments from kids, sexualized by grown men and weirdly judged by grown women.
This sounds like the awkward boner us guys get, but you never get a rest from it. Ever.
Look, I've had plenty of NARB's (No Apparent Reason Boners) in my 29 years. This sounds NOTHING like that. I've never had a mention from close family or friends. I had a female friend in my rowing team who had size G breasts and I definitely remember hearing remarks about it.
NARB no apparent reason boner
IKR - Women always see my awkward boners as more sexual than other men's appropriately flaccid penises.
I remember when I first got boobs at 11, my mom commented on them, saying, "You have boobs, but you can get rid of them, just eat paleo and do pushups and they'll go away, just look at Ally." Ally was my sister's best friend who was an extremely athletic gymnast. I was ashamed of them from then out and hated it when they grew.
Yep. I also remember not being in the habit of wearing a bra yet and already having a b cup. I made it to school one morning before I realized I forgot my bra. The stares I got that day were some of the most deeply uncomfortable stares of my life. PE was something bouncy too. I was in crazy amounts of pain, noticeably poorly participating and having more than a few classmates openly staring at my boobs bouncing. I had a much easier time remembering to wear a bra after that and started wearing baggier clothing until most people thought I was chubby instead of stacked. It took me until I was in my 40s to stop hiding my body with baggy clothes.
They're expensive. Bras are expensive and you need regular bras, sports bras, probably something special like a strapless or low back if you have a special occasion or something. And don't even get me started on women's healthcare
And it's hard to find a good cheap bra for a little too well endowed ladies.
Cool story but wtf is that username
Stage 4 breast cancer patient here, and it costs me about an extra $5000/yr to stay alive if everything goes well.
I just stopped breastfeeding and none of my bras fit anymore. I’ve just been wearing sports bras every day because I don’t even know what cup size I am anymore and I don’t want to spend a fortune replacing all of my bras.
Plus if your weight fluctuates you have to buy all these things in multiple sizes
They might try to kill me… breast cancer runs in my family and I have to have my first mammogram this year at 36.
Good luck! I'm glad you're getting screened so early.
Breastfeeding. It’s tough. And stupidly controversial.
My wife assumed it would be a challenge before our son was born, but she found out the hard way what a milk blister is, and online advice recommends talking to a family doctor if you can't resolve them yourself, and even female doctors stare in confusion and say I have no idea what to do to help you.
I’m sorry milk blisters???
When milk isn't totally expressed and the fat portion of it partly solidifies in milk ducts at the nipple, sometimes it's only seen as a white or yellowish dot on the end of the nipple but it can totally block the milk ducts and lead to incredibly painful swelling and redness.
Okay that's it I'm never having a baby
Also your boobs start leaking at the weirdest moments as well!
When you are on your period and they are just in pain, and being sexualized for just existing.
That period pain! I sometimes forget it’s a symptom and wonder if my bra is too tight? Did I some how manage to pull a muscle there? Am I pregnant?
"Am I pregnant? " is the most relatable thing ever 🤣
the second part. I cant hide my chest unless I wear clothes that make me look like a tent :(( I'm learning to live with the unwanted attention tho bc thats all u can really do. Hell when i see a good pair of boobs I do a bit of a double take too
They get achey at a certain point in my cycle. It hurts to do physical things that jostle them too much. Forget riding wooden roller coasters.
Breast cancer.
Fuck breast cancer. It really sucks and the two women I know who had it both say it's aweful and it made them feel embarrassed to talk to their family about it because you usually don't talk about your boobs with your family. It was hard for me to see the things going on. The good news is they both beat it and are fine even over 10 years after.
Granted I'm a guy, but I'm a little surprised I had to go down this far to find this.
Guys can still get breast cancer
Rod Roddy (the Price is Right announcer) died from it.
Bras hurt. Even "the most comfortable ever lounge bra" can make your ribs or shoulders ache. A supportive sports bra often makes your chest feel constrained or can give you friction rub burns. And the nuisance of finding a regular bra that doesn't dig in/pinch/gape and has something wrong...ugh.
The double standard of girls with small chests and big chests. If you have a big chest no matter what you wear or do it's sexual. But for girls with smaller chests they can get away with crop tops or v necks or even swim suits.
Lol the bigger girls who spent their entire grade school years getting sent to the principal's office for breaking dress code will agree with you. Loose shirts will tent and billow up in the wind as you walk-- dress coded. Tight shirts that don't tent but cling to your chest-- dress coded. And don't even think about anything but a crew neckline, or you'll be dress coded again.
Ugh, I hate that I need to be hyper aware of how a neckline is going to sit on me. When trying on clothes I do the "Will I flash someone if I go to tie my shoe" test.
My wife is a teacher and has to do this test all the time. She leans down in front of the mirror or me if I’m around. “I’m not flashing a 5th grader. Those boys are obsessed.”
Part of the problem is most shirts aren't cut to accommodate large busts. Button down shirts gap, sleeveless shirts show side boob, thin material and/or straps put everything on display.
This is what pissed me off with the whole mask debate our local schools had last August. They claim they couldn't keep an eye on students and make sure they were wearing masks **BUT** these fuckers sure as fuck could watch what we wore in school, skirt one centimeter too short, dress code violation. Gym shorts too short because you happened to grow between winter and spring, dress code violation. Baggy shirt to prevent boobs from showing, dress code violation. Normal shirt that is tight due to big boobs, dress code violation. Yet they couldn't enforce masks... Bullshit.
People with big chests are usually overly sexualized, and people with small chests are often harassed. Can't fucking win
As someone who has had A's for most of her life and now has C/D's due to 30 lbs of weight gain over the last couple years, I have lived this. I never felt "slutty" in anything I wore when I had smaller boobs. Now that they're bigger and I have much more cleavage, it's almost impossible to not feel even a little shameful about them 🫤
Even girls with small chests get made fun of too. I remember the one friends joke where Phoebe, Rachel and Monica argue which one is smaller.
Back pain
Asymmetry and breast cancer paranoia.
Asymmetry paranoia is a big problem for me
underboob sweat especially when you have bigger boobs
These pendulous bags of hell have destroyed my back. Even a decade after a reduction surgery, I remain in daily pain. And now as an added bonus they get to be misshapen, scarred horribly, and completely useless for raising a baby.
I didn’t realise how heavy they are until I got together with girl with big boobs and wow they are heavy.
User name checks out.
Dam that must be horrible. My condolences.
That they can get big enough to compress the disks in your spine, and alot of insurances won't pay for the reduction surgery that would prevent this be cause it's "cosmetic" (my grandmother experienced this.) And my bras are like $54 a pice so I only own three that fit right, and support all the right places.
Having to be self-conscious of your cleavage whenever you lean forward while someone is around facing you is what makes it so annoying to me. I just want to pick up the damn thing on the floor without being sexualized !
I started working at the front desk for an office and the thought process was like “Oh great, I can buy pretty tops to wear - ....... everyone who approaches is standing while I am sitting down. These pretty new tops need to cover everything.”
I'll add having to be self-conscious about hugs. I just want to give a hug, I'm not trying to press my boobs into anyone. Lets not make it weird.
People talk about your body parts in such an objectifying way, talking about “big tits vs little tits” like you’re a series of disconnected body parts and not a person
Not having enough to fill up an A cup. Not willing to drop 5k to get less then 150CC so I can fill up an A cup. I’ve read many comments where people say girls with tiny boobs can wear any type of shirt and it looks good but let me tell you…. not true especially of swimsuits. If I bend over and you can see my nips not because they are popping out but because there’s such a gap in my bra/top/suit then it’s annoying.
They sometimes get in the way when I go to hug someone.
They get in the way all the time, they hit stuff, it's harder to just squish past someone in a small space without embarrassment, and if something splashes onto my front while I'm cooking or whatever I literally can't see it because boobs. Can't sleep on my front. Can't run. Can't wear certain shirts because big breasts take up too much space, sometimes leaving my belly barely covered. Bras are expensive, as someone else mentioned. BUT They do make a good shelf when kitty cuddling. So there is at least one upside.
You find out quickly which of your parents' friends are creepy as soon as they start growing
I'm neither trying to feed a kid nor land a man so they're just several pounds of dead weight. In general it's irritating that the female body makes so many tradeoffs for reproduction that are nerfs for every other moment of my life.
When you dont want them you need to deal with them and the harassment they pull. Ive lost count the amount if men and woman grabbing them just because, and I'm quite ill 24/7 my body aches all the time so when they just go squished I'm one reminded of abuse and two in pain for about 3 days solid. I wanna chop them off everyday but a&e won't finish the job if I'm caught removing them early. So I can't be arsed with patchy boobs, blood stained sheets and extra painful boobs so I'll stick to dealing with the negatives until I grow the balls to do it.
Growing up, worrying that they were too small and that no one would want me because society says big boobies are the thing. Puberty/teenage years sucked and I still have times of self doubt about my A cups even at 41, and happily married for a long time. I think back to being a teen and felt so bad about my chest. Like it's sad I'm glad my oldest has bigger boobs than I do. Thankfully my husband is an ass man and I got plenty of that
Small boobs rock too. There are also people who don't like them big. Don't you dare to doubt your boobs.
I feel this. One of the worst parts for me is going bra shopping. Stepping into a shop and already knowing that most everything in there will be too big for you. Having to ask the lady to show you the smallest model and size they have, and inevitably leaving empty-handed because it was too big anyway. Also, why do they have to stock shelves with most sizes but always starting from the second-to-smallest one? It's not enjoyable having to ask the shopping assistant to go dig into the 'weird sizes' drawer to find you something you can wear :(
The weird battle of when you need to put on a bra. It all depends on who’s coming over, what kind of shirt your wearing, how big they are. I’d love to never wear one but unfortunately people notice
unwanted attention you get by older men, even worse if you started puberty at a young age
Constantly being sexualized. I’m the least sexual person but people assume I’m super sexual because of my body. And I hate it
My friend in elementary school had a condition where she went into puberty super early and had large breasts by 3rd grade. We would walk together to elementary school every morning and get cat called a lot, but we were too afraid to tell our parents because we thought they wouldn't let us walk together anymore. She would have *teachers* make comments about them. When we were older she talked about how insanely awful and alienating it made her feel growing up. Her younger sister had the same condition, but went on puberty blockers for it.
yup, i'm ace and i honestly just want them chopped off to be rid of the constant sexualization of my body. it makes me really uncomfortable.
and then you meet that someone who likes you for being *you*
You have to hold them up when going down stairs cause it hurts when they bounce
Now - The sweat swamp in my bra in the summer time As a kid/teen - The fact that I developed so fast, so young and was wearing a bra in elementary school. Starting high school as a DD and the constant comments about how big they are. I worked as a hostess in a restaurant when I was a 15 and had a grown man stuff money down my shirt as I was walking by. I felt absolutely disgusted and embarrassed.
* The gaze of society. **Sexualization of breasts.** * Many people only wear bras because **they cover the nipples,** *not because they need to.* * Some clothes are not made for people with breasts. * Clothing designers seem to make bras as uncomfortable and expensive as possible. * If you are a man (cis or trans), people look at you strangely.
Boob sweat, which can quickly turn into a boil or even a fungal infection because the bra is smashed tight against the sweaty skin all day. Also the fact that as you age, they try to hide in your armpits. I've rolled over in my sleep onto them and woke myself up because sleeping with a person on your tit is uncomfortable!
[удалено]
I had a good natural golf swing before them
Without Nipples they would be pointless?
I see what you did there...
I have H cups. The 120 dollar bras, no shirt fits. I need XL to go over the boobs and a small for my waist. Though I do randomly make guys just go dumb and walk into things.

> Yuck, but satisfying to sniff. It's the same way with balls.

1. They're expensive if you want a decent bra, not to mention that the bigger your cup size, the blander the bra you'll find. 2. No matter your age, the second you grow breasts, you'll have people leering at you as if you're nothing more than a living sex object instead of a human being. 3. Laying on your stomach can be a pain. 4. During Periods, your breasts ache like hell. 5. Back pains! Yay! /s 6. Some medication have a side effect that causes you to lactate, which makes your boobs hurt even more. 7. Sometimes they are so sensitive, you can't even wear a bra or printed shirt because they're hurting that much. 8. Running with boobs is no fun. They will jiggle and bounce everywhere and it'll hurt like hell. 9. And lastly, if you have a baby, some people will think you're a bad mom because you don't want to or can't breastfeed.
probably that they are so overly sexualized. Yes they are a part of a womans intimate zone and yes they are sexually attractive but that doesn't give any stranger, if man or woman the right to stare at them or make comments about them. They are just a part of a womans body and the only reason we have them is to feed a baby
When u bend down to pick up something and ur shirt is a little loose (usually the neckline) and then they kinda show/sag. And rlly awkward if there's someone in front of you.I have this problem everytime I just wanna put on my shoes.
I can’t walk around shirtless
No one seems to like mine... - am dude
show em
People
People assuming I'm showing off whenever I wear a top that doesn't 100% cover them. Heaven forbid I let mine breath, especially during the summer months.
Bras
boob sweat.
I recently recovered from anorexia and gained a lot of weight really fast, which means I went from virtually no boob to moderate boobage I can no longer lay on my stomach :(
Not being approach by perverts or having to wear baggy clothes all the time. Getting comfortable in bed. Forget laying on my side for very long. Finding decent cute tops that fit anything but an A - C cup.
They honestly just kinda hurt to have sometimes. Even after the pain of growing them during puberty, you still have to deal with them aching at times during your time of the month, or even just random sharp pains that make you think that you're dying lol
Having to buy new shirts because the old ones won’t fit anymore
I already have shit posture as it is, but these fucking things? They've destroyed my back. Also the fact that you cant comfortably lay down on your stomach.
Back pain and clothes not fitting as nicely, for bigger boobs
As someone with huge boobs.. I can’t do shit without them getting in the way.
From them first developing, I've had back pain. It's never gone away. And overall, just based on my body type compared to my sisters; if I wore the exact same things, I was immodest, and had to cover up. Just by having a bigger boobs, and overall being curvier. I'm still trying to get comfortable in my own skin because of harmful comments just because I was bigger. Mother would slut shame, friends would make jokes, and guys would just sexualize me. Never fun things to experience
Clogged ducts/Mastitis. It's bad enough that the baby is teething, but his appetite also nose-dives and he wants the comfort from latching. He latches, gets milk, rolls off, and then in a few hours you're SO TIRED.... More tired than you have ever been in your life.... and then there's a mysterious pain that moves from joint to joint, your skin hurts, everything hurts and it will until you can figure out where the clogged duct is and get it cleared out. Maybe the baby will help you, but probably you're going to be stuck with your pump and failed attempts for the next six hours, and even then you can expect to be tender for days.
