To hate hate hate having tiny boobs

Without a highly padded bra my chest is completely flat - like a bloke. I am relatively small framed but I hate my lack of boobs sooo much. My friends always go on about how 'lucky' I am because big boobs are painful/annoying etc but in reality I would be delighted to have C or even B cups which I don't imagine to be hard to live with!

AIBU to hate having small boobs? I hate that I live in 'Abracadabra Bras', hate that I can't wear a bikini because I look ridiculous. I don't know anyone else as flat as me!

All good things come in small packages Grin
I have smallish boobs but I quite like them, would look a bit odd if they were bigger tbh-small boobs always stay where they start off fortunately whereas the larger variety, at some point, have to give in to gravity.
All the pretty undies come in small sizes, not always the case if you have bazookas or so my large breasted mate informs me.

I've always been an A cup and, when I was younger, pined for bigger boobs.

They barely grew - even when pregnant.

The advantage is that they have never sagged and look quite good on my ancient frame.

Its not unreasonable to feel the way you do.

But its not unreasonable for your friends to think you are lucky, because when you have big boobs and find them uncomfortable, its very very difficult to imagine why anyone wouldn't want to be flat chested, be able to wear pretty bras, not be in pain etc.

However, if your friends comments upset you, and they know that the comments upset you, then it is very unreasonable of them to voice those comments, regardless of what they actually think.

Well, I have ballerina boobs and I'm very fond of them.

They are perfect for running, I can get clothes to fit and they produced gallons of breast milk when I needed them to.

What's an 'Abracadabra' bra?

YABU. Your body is healthy, does not have cancer, is not paralysed, does not have a million other problems (at least I hope not). Even tiny boobs work for their designed function, feeding a baby.

to hate a healthy body is to be ungrateful for it. Speak to someone with a real health problem (or even someone badly scarred) and then think about what you just said.

Sympathies. Maybe you could work that gamine/ingenue Audrey Hepburn look - she had no boobs but looked fabulous in a bikini. ?

I have 36J's - so the other end of the scale from you Grin

I tend to work the comedy barmaid look Hmm Grin
