Help! Possible TMI & probably weird

8 replies

Sorry in advance for the TMI or just genuine weirdness!

So my chest size is a very large H & should I get hot and sweat, I get what I call underboob bodge!

Anyways, since falling pregnant and my boobs growing to what I can only imagine being a bloody Z!

Regardless of how much I scrub or wash or whatever, the bodge is getting progressively worse! It doesn't smell like underarm BO, it just has its own feisty smell and quite frankly it's absolutely doing my head in!

Does anyone else suffer with this??

Try some Canesten cream.

Have a chat with your GP, it could be sore and getting infected or causing a fungal growth which is causing the bad smell. Better be safe than sorry xxx

Is the bra you're wearing the right size? I'm a JJ and don't generally have these problems. If your boobs are resting on your chest, then I'd expect them to make you hot.

Not chest, but resting on your abdomen I suppose is what I mean.

Yeah I get this. I call it sweaty boob rash. Have been measured so bras the right size - in a 38K in Royce bras. You really need an underwire with big boobs to keep them separated and non sweaty!

Anyway since Friday I have barely worn a bra cause i've been off work and the sweaty boob rash is almost gone. So go free wherever possible Xmas Smile

(And I know what you mean about the smell! It smells like a warm dog's armpit)

Warm dogs armpit. GrinGrinGrinGrin

Oh I had a good bloody laugh at that!!

Il be honest, my bras are far too small & far too tight....I used to be able to get them from Asda at a tenner each.

Where the bloody hell do I get even bigger ones from?? I think I might look into making my own at this rate, I've also been advised that once I give birth & the milk comes in, they'll get even bigger?? ShockShockShockShock

I think il have to stay in and simply not wear bras!

You'll be fine...M&S and Royce do up to K cup...M&S cheaper and more generously sized though the bigger sizes are online.
