To want to know I'm not the only one? (Boobs)

Obviously I don't think I'm the only one on Earth but I've never met another woman, knowingly, who has breasts as small as mine. I'm 34aa and have always been worried about it. I constantly wonder if I ought to get surgery. Is there anyone on MN that is in the same boat?

I doubt you're the only one..a lot of models have very small boobs

Jozxyqk · 20/07/2018 21:46

What are your measurements?

FWIW, I don't wander around telling people my bra size.

Thisnamechanger · 20/07/2018 21:48

I only know my chest and waist, 34 26 but quite slim hips. Have always been a bit of a bean pole.

34AA means there is no difference between under and over bust measurements so I don't believe that is your correct size. What dress size are you?

stoneagemum · 20/07/2018 21:49

Do you measure 34 both under and around the bust, or actually 30 under and 34 around, making you a 34d?

Thisnamechanger · 20/07/2018 21:49

Models always look lovely an glamorous....but whenever I wear anything like and ordinary jersey with a non padded bra I am completely flat

Doh typo I meant 30d Blush

TeaAndNoSympathy · 20/07/2018 21:50

What are your measurements under your busy and around the fullest part of your bust?

Thisnamechanger · 20/07/2018 21:50

Am a size ten, I have a slightly barrel chest due to a medical condition

I think small boobs are great, they get in the way less.

dementedpixie · 20/07/2018 21:50

If you are 34 around the fullest part of your bust then your back size is not 34 inches unless you are completely flat

TeaAndNoSympathy · 20/07/2018 21:50

*bust not busy!

Kidssendingmenuts · 20/07/2018 21:51

Your not missing anything trust me! I have 36g boobs and I hate them! When it's hot they sweat, when I run, the bounce, and when I take my bra off fuck knows where they go!! I hate them x

Thisnamechanger · 20/07/2018 21:51

unless you are completely flat

I am pretty much. Nipples stick out bit that's basically it Sad

Mine genuinely aren't much bigger! I'd be a 32a in say a Primark bra, but I went and got measured properly and it turns out I'm actually a 30c - not that it actually makes my little fried egg boobs bigger but it makes me feel better! What dress size are you? I think I only know maybe two other people with boobs as small as mine. If I'm honest though I don't really care, the people who I know with big boobs moan that they're a nuisance and say they wish they had little ones like me!

dementedpixie · 20/07/2018 21:52

What are your under and over bust measurements?

CloudCaptain · 20/07/2018 21:53

I'm pretty much flat as a pancake, probably an A cup, I wear padded bras to give a bit of shape. Considering enlargement. I had larger boobs when breastfeeding, which I liked. Clothes actually fit me and didn't gape around the neckline. but they are now saggy and small.

Zintox · 20/07/2018 21:54

I never used to fill a AA cup. I hated it as I have big hips. So I had a boob job 16 years ago. I've never regretted it. I look in proportion now.

Thisnamechanger · 20/07/2018 21:54

i wear padded bras to give a bit of shape.

I used to too, but they're so uncomfortable....I recently switched to soft cloth bras which are very very cosy but am aware am totally flat now.

Not wanting to put a downer on things but I had a double mastectomy at 36. It's worse than being flat as all the breast tissue has been removed, so I'm a bit concave. Makes it difficult with necklines, even with my prosthetic boobs!

Boiledeggandtoast · 20/07/2018 21:56

I have always been flatchested except when I was pregnant or breastfeeding (I succesfully breastfed three children and then my breasts disappeared again when I stopped). I love it - it's much more comfortable, especially in this heat, and is great if you're a runner.

dementedpixie · 20/07/2018 21:56

Without measurements we can't advise if you should try different sizes or styles

IHeartKingThistle · 20/07/2018 21:57

I know we all want what we don't have but I'd love little boobs!

SummersB · 20/07/2018 21:59

Mine are absolutely tiny. Barely an A. I'm quite slim but I have a Kim Kardashian style arse so I look totally out of proportion Sad I'd love a nice cleavage, it was fab when I was pregnant/breast feeding! If I could magic myself a nice rack I would! But I'd never have surgery on them. I used to work with breastcancer patients and I fo realise that I am very, very lucky to have healthy breasts (for now) and I try to love and embrace my body for being healthy, fit and strong. At the end of the day we are all different and chest size is only cosmetic!

Candyflip · 20/07/2018 21:59

I cannot see how you measure 26 round your waist and 34 under your boobs. They are usually the same or under bust is often even slightly smaller. Are you particularly muscular? I think you are measuring wrong. What is your exact size under your boobs?
