big boob problems.

Well I’m not too sure where you live, but where I live there’s a chain called Change that has a TON of sizes! I’ve been told by all my big breasted friends to go there.

If you’re confident in your size, online is also an option - some retailers (Victoria’s Secret included, they actually have 32-40DDD) carry sizes online that they don’t in stores :) I know a lot of people are sketchy about online shopping, but I’ve been doing it for years and it works out about 95% of the time.

They just get in the way, don’t they? I’m a waitress, and if I had a nickel for every time I discovered that I dipped my boobs in some food hours after the fact, I wouldn’t need tips ever again.

Also, the uniform is a button-down shirt…I got the shirt in a medium. Will forever regret.

Don’t let a couple of immature assholes make you doubt yourself! I wish I could tell you that it gets better…but idiots exist at all ages. Don’t worry love, you’re beautiful no matter what, and hey, those boys are just mad they can’t have any of what you’re packin’ ;)

It’s all about the style of top!  Obviously for us large-breasted ladies, string triangle tops are neither flattering nor supportive enough.  Luckily for us, the retro-y tops are coming back in style, which generally provide more coverage and support (thicker straps, larger cups, etc).  I also really like halters with a thicker bottom band, as well as ones with underwires - those also tend to come in actual bra sizes rather than just S M L, so they actually fit :)

Steer clear of places like Victoria’s Secret (like I had to tell you that).  They feel the need to put push-up in EVERY SINGLE BATHING SUIT EVER as well as they often have stupid sequins and other tacky shit all over them, which really doesn’t help with the whole not-wanting-to-look-like-a-hooker thing.

I like Lululemon ones, they have one called the Ta Ta Tamer that comes in actual bra sizes.  From a quick check, I see they even have 38D!  The All-Sports one is good too for really flattening those puppies down.

Ahhh I’m sorry, this one is a bit out of my range :( I’m no expert or anything, all I can offer is what I know from personal experience.  Can anyone else help this lovely lady out? :)

Hey love, kudos to you and I send you all the hugs :)

As for the clothing issue…I do wonder what stores you’re trying to shop at because for me, at about a big 34D/small 34DD, I can shop perfectly fine at Forever 21 (usually a L there), H&M (usually a size 10) and other common stores.  Unless you live in Asia, because then I would understand.  I visited Korea (I’m half Korean) a couple years ago, and let me tell you, at 5’9 and a robust 155lbs, it was near impossible to find clothes that fit me.  Of course, I can’t necessarily wear whatever I want if I want the clothes to be flattering, so it’s just a matter of finding what works for your body :) I’d be lying if I said I always loved my boobs, but I’ve definitely learned to work with them!  I fill out my clothes, and I love every minute of it.  Just remember that your body is changing and that you’re not going to look the same as you did in clothes before - and there’s NOTHING BAD about it :D

Some tips for big-boobed clothes shopping:

• BANDEAUS ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND.  Seriously.  Invest in a couple.  They help cover cleavage in low-cut tops without bunch-y layers.
• Buy things oversized if you have to.  A belt can help cinch in the waist!
• Fuller skirts will help balance your frame.
• Button-up shirts are hard to find, unless they are meant to be oversized.  We must all accept this.
• You need to find a happy medium between high-neck and low-cut, because high-necked stuff usually looks like an awful ski-slope thing on large chests (there’s a post about it somewhere :P)

Since I’ve been living with these sweater puppies with a fair few years, I can usually guess what will look good on me (and presumably other like-chested ladies) and what won’t.  So, here are some suggestions to work off of:

(Forever 21)

(H&M)

(Urban Outfitters - I actually own this dress, LOVE IT!)

(Also Urban Outfitters - also own this and love it too!)

P.S. Don’t mind the small chests on the models.  I can 99% promise these will look just as good on big boobs - at least in my experience :)

So, in conclusion, clothes CAN and WILL fit you, just not in the way you’re used to.  Plus, 32C/D is FAR from the worse you could have it.  I’m sure they seem huge to you, because I assume it’s a big change from your previous size, but those E-cup ladies would probably kill for your size!

I hope I was of some help.  Good luck on your road to recovery, and remember…love your boobs, they are a blessing…most of the time ;)

Ahhh I had that problem last summer, it was so horrible :( have you seen a doctor about it?  For me it was apparently a fungus (lovely, right) caused by a lack of oxygen/too much moisture in my cleavage.  She gave me an anti-fungal cream and it went away after a couple days and it hasn’t come back thus far.  Moral of the story, it’s not uncommon and you’re not alone :) definitely see a doctor, or if you want to try a natural route, try applying diluted tea tree oil to the area.  MAKE SURE IT IS DILUTED THOUGH, that shit burns at full-strength :P

OWN YOUR TITS, KITTENS.

I’mma be cheesy about this and say that YOU are YOU, and there is no such thing as “not the right weight”.  Try different cuts of bras, personally I find balconet and demi-cup bras to be very flattering, and that’s just from the cut and minimal padding :)

Of course it is, and a lot of large-breasted girls do…don’t let porn fool you into thinking that all boobs are perky and round ;)

Bio-oil, or plain ol’ vitamin E oil works too and is cheaper!  Just get pure vitamin E capsules (they’re not hard to find, just check the vitamin sections of whatever store), pierce it with a pin, squeeze out the oil, and rub it wherever needed!  This works for any other kind of scar too :)

Wow, sorry, this was from ages ago but I figured I’d answer anyway for the benefit of everyone :)

Unfortunately, it is impossible to reduce fat on a specific part of the body.  If you want to lose weight in one spot, you gotta do it everywhere, and most people have a “problem area” that is the first to acquire fat and the last to lose it (for me it’s my tummy).  If you do standard weight-loss stuff (eat healthy, exercise a bit, etc.) your boobs will eventually get smaller too, but you can’t expect dramatic change.  Big boobies are in your genes, and we all know those poor souls with GINORMOUS boobs that are as thin as a runway model everywhere else.

If you want your boobs to look a little perkier and perhaps jiggle a bit less, then chest-targeted exercises can help with that, such as push-ups and bench presses :)

P.S. My mom is a personal trainer and knows A LOT about fitness and the way the body works, so I do have a bit of credibility ;)

OMG I FEEL YOUR PAIN.  I learned recently that I am a 32DDD as well…but ya know, so hard to find.  But Victoria’s Secret, even if it is horrible and sad place, recently started carrying 32DDD!!! So at least it’s more easily accessible now :)

I don’t get how you can have a C cup and no cleavage!  But my best advice is push-up bras…not much else to do :P

THANK YOU.  This is what I’ve been trying to tell people.

Plus, how would I know really?  I’m no psychic :P

They’ll get over it someday.  It gets slightly better once high school is over…people tend to grow up a bit :)

Aww well I’m very glad you enjoyed the blog :)

It’s so true though…we all want what we don’t have :P there are pros and cons to both sides of the spectrum though, I know :D

Wait a minute.  You’re a 36D and you want BIGGER boobs?  Colour me confused.

Regardless, there’s really no way to make them bigger.  You may still grow yet, or birth control might also make them grow.  That’s all I got m’dear :)

Hehehe, dis one? :)

How on EARTH were you running around in A’s and B’s if you’re a DD?!?!  I have extreme issues squeezing into a C and I’m only a D…

General consensus of everyone: VS sucks major ballsack.

Although to their credit…British cup sizes run a bit smaller than North American sizes!  Though not THAT much smaller :P

Aww, don’t worry love :( I wish I could give you more advice beyond “it will get better”, but eventually once you’re older it won’t be as big of a deal!  You’ll grow into yourself :)

I’M SO GLAD :D

Well, honestly, all the little “perks” are merely small consolations…

Except there is one situation I truly enjoy and appreciate my chest…hehe ;)

Thank you :)

We’re all in this together, for all the back pains and stretch marks <3

Dear anon, this :)

Unfortunately I’ve never tried any underwire-free bras…Anyone got helpful advice? :)
