Boobs!! (lighthearted)

Seriously over my boobs now!!!
I am a size 14 and my boobs are a whooping 36L........yes L cup Confused
Its like carrying a bloody 2 Yr old on my chest.
I have had the following said to me (and I want to fart in an air tight room and leave them in there so they can feel as uncomfortable as I am 24/7)

A) you are so lucky!
No Susan, I can't even run for a flipping bus without potentially knocking myself out.

B) oh that dress would look amazing on you (queue my nemesis, a strapless dress)

Well Sam, they have invented the plane, cured many diseases but god forbid they invent a bra that not only covers my nipples, but actually gives me support.

C) your DH is so lucky!

Yep he thought so too that was until I whipped it out and he looked at me and said "where the hell do I start? " Blush haha

D) why don't you lose some weight and the boobs will go down?

This one I agree with.... However when I was a size 8 my breast were a k cup.

Sometimes my DH would stand behind me and hold my boobs up and it's utter bliss.

Thank you for the rant, would feel a stone lighter but by boobs are weighing me down Hmm

Everyone is cursed blessed in different ways.. Aibu to want a break from mine?

I’m having a reduction with uplift this year hopefully - I’m a 32hh. My nipples do still point out and not down but at 46 years old they are bigger and droopier than I would like. I want to wear a button up shirt!!!! And see my rib cage without hoisting them up!!! Am starting to think about which size and I’m thinking a nice and perky D Grin

Dingit I honestly believe that if they took the weight of you boobs into account, they would have only asked you to lose one.

Sorry Dingit, I prob get 32G from them then (up a back size, down a cup) Sad

bobstersmum · 03/01/2018 19:06

I am an f cup and mine make me feel dumpy, I do think big boobs look lovely in a good fitting bra and flattering top, but the reality is when it all comes off they hit the floor.. or is that just mine!

yourhavingagiraffee · 03/01/2018 19:06

I'm only F cup, I feel for you.

My mission is to save for reduction, I hate my boobs!! Bras don't fit right, I struggle to find the right bra.

I want my little b' s before children back 😂

Yourhavinagiraffe can you believe that I don't increase in bra size when I'm pregnant!!! There's milk alright, but no visual difference Confused the hubby and I have many theories but it's a bit strange.

I'd love mine to drop a couple of sizes. The stares, the never being able to look sleek in clothes, the parachute bras, the things people say! I broke the wire under a cup the other day. Can only assume weight of boob defeated it!!!

DarthLipgloss · 03/01/2018 19:31

I'm a 34G/32H and love mine, however I don't really get back pain and they are relatively perky looking. Bra buying is awful pita tho .

dingit · 03/01/2018 19:32

My boobs didn't change much when pregnant. My dms have definitely shrunk, mid 70s. Here's looking to the menopause to shrink mine. Sadly our big boob genes have been passed to my dd, who is slim, but very similar build to me. As she also has long blonde hair she attracts all sorts of comments Hmm

AlonsosLeftPinky · 03/01/2018 19:34

Completely with you. But I'm a bit bigger dress size. They're a pain in the arse. DH does love them tho!

And I'm too scared of surgery and the risk of loss of sensitivity to go there.

berwickswan · 03/01/2018 19:41

A friend had a reduction on the NHS for health reasons. They were causing so much strain on her spine and back.she was a nurse and got backing from her boss..
When I saw her after her op.and she'd healed, she said that for the first time in many years she could finally clap her hands at a concert...

woodhill · 03/01/2018 19:42

My bust has got bigger during menopause, maybe it varies but would love to go back down to an e cup

ChoudeBruxelles · 03/01/2018 19:43

Bloody hell. I went to bravissimo today and came out a 36ff. Thatmore than big enough. I have to hold them if I run witha normal bra on

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 03/01/2018 21:11

Yeah, DP loves mine! I love how much he loves them and they're definitely part of my sex life- but if I could get them back to a DD I'd be happier.

DownstairsMixUp · 03/01/2018 21:15

I've suffered since I was 14. I'm a 30hh now but I don't lose them when I lost weight so when I get back to a size 10 I'm still a 28j 😭

PerfectlyDone · 03/01/2018 21:16

YANBU.

From what you are writing, you are very likely going to meet exceptional referral criteria for a referral to plastics pretty much anywhere in the country.

kaytee87 · 03/01/2018 21:20

I'm a 32GG, I feel your pain. They're so heavy and they make it much harder to breastfeed! (In my experience anyway)

Masonmumny12 · 03/01/2018 21:27

Kaytee87 yes! I had such a hard time breastfeeding that I gave up after 3 weeks.... I was constantly afraid of suffocating my DS if I fell asleep feeding him!

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 03/01/2018 21:28

I'm a 30/32 F. I have to hold them if I run up the stairs. I have horrendous dents in my shoulders. I do manage to but nice bras in Leia and Bravissimo but can't where strapped clothes because bra straps are always so damn wide.

A friend of mine had a reduction from 34M (privately) she said it was the worst pain she'd ever been through but she doesn't regret it for a moment, she can breathe comfortably and lay on her front now. Five years on and she still has misshapen shoulders though.

kaytee87 · 03/01/2018 21:30

Once I've finished my family I will save for a reduction. A DD or even E would be great. Also going to save for lazer eye surgery first!

Thissameearth · 03/01/2018 21:36

Ugh I was a 34c before baby and now dd/e whilst breastfeeding and I hate them. I've never wanted bigger boobs - perky c cup was perfect for me: not flat but not too big. Looked sleek and could exercise freely and just never thought about them much. Now they're a constant nuisance and feel matronly as well as hampering my movement and exercise. I feel for you - I don't understand why anyone would be jealous of big boobs 😒

user1490465531 · 03/01/2018 21:59

I'm an A cup so I've got slight boob envy whenever I see a woman with proper breasts.
My chest resembles a boy when I take my bra of would love to know what it feels like to actually have a cleavage!

BetterEatCheese · 03/01/2018 22:07

JJ cup here and at size 8 I was a GG. I say mine on the breakfast bar to give me a rest yesterday 😂
