What is the point of breasts?

[Kjones27]

I have absolutely massive breasts. They are huge. And I'm only five foot 3.

They are so heavy. They are so hard to dress. I considered a breast reduction at one point but I decided I couldn't put myself through the surgery.

They are so heavy and huge.

And they just seem utterly pointless..their main reason to exist is to feed babies. I have never had children and never will have any. I don't want them.

I just think what's the point of them. I'm sure I read somewhere that most mammals only develop breasts after they have children.
That humans are very unusual to develop breasts and keep them for life.

My friend had a breast reduction for this reason and it did make her life much easier. She used to have to rest her bust on her lap while sitting, and got it reduced to about a B cup.

She had always been very quiet before but she then did a degree and qualified as a vicar and went on to run her own parish for years. It was quite a transformation. I really was so surprised at so many big changes in a row like that.

@Kjones27 I wanted my boobs as small as possible for my wedding so I took up jogging. I think the arm movements helped & obviously I lost weight all over. I got them down although proportionally still big but my BMI was underweight so I couldn't sustain it. Scared of surgery too, one aunt did it.

They really are! I also don't want kids despite the massive boobs and child bearing hips!

I do think that women have it physically more difficult. And the men I know have agreed with me.

Baldness doesn't really compare with painful periods every month. Baldness doesn't cause pain

I think you could just lose a lot of weight and your cup size would naturally decrease. Stick your height in a bmi calculator and you could just some for a low normal. Certainly I’d do that before surgery

But what’s the point of comparing? I think everyone has a right to moan about stuff and should feel validated but comparing and suggesting men have it easy, just enforces that thing of men not being allowed to moan or to have issues. To that individual, their problem feels huge and may be huge. Men have lots of difficulties that we don’t have. Just because it doesn’t directly compare with breast size, is a bit silly. It doesn’t make our problems any less to suggest men have it easier, so what’s the point? Many men would disagree.

Haha its kind of funny. Evolution decided to make me massively booby.

If I could design myself I would probably give myself small breasts and muscular legs.

I get it - I had a reduction years ago. Though it was too late to stop a bad disc rupture related to years of back pain and bad posture. They’re still not tiny but they’re manageable and haven’t dropped as I’ve got older.

I do wish I’d gone a bit smaller when I had the surgery though. Still have a tendency to look matronly - will never a double breasted (oh the irony) coat without looking like Nurse Gladys Emmanuel.

An yes, someone starts a thread to talk about the trouble with breasts and someone always has to turn up to tell us to worry about the poor men 🙄

I just see surgery as quite risky. Ive heard bad stories from people close to me

My neighbours adult son went in for quite minor surgery to remove a growth in his nose. And he died. I'm not sure exactly what happened. I think it was something like a bad reaction to the anaesthetic.

Then when I was younger. My best friends mother went into surgery and never came around from it. She ended up in a permanent vegetative state.

If that’s aimed at me, I’m a woman and didn’t tell you to worry about men. I suggested that this comparison and suggesting women have it harder is silly. We all have different issues and none are more valid than others. As evidenced with my father, men can have troubles which cause them pain.

In no way did I minimise the op’s issues and even stated in my previous post that everyone should feel able to have a moan about things that matter to them.

Can we do something to change this as nowadays we spend our days mainly sitting? 😖

On deelee boppers on your heads?

Theres no need for surgery unless you’re already under about seven and half stone if you’re 5’3”. You can manage your breast size through diet and exercise.

Mine are ridiculous and I couldn't feed my baby with them. What a waste. I wish I could take them off and hang them on the back of the door as and when.

Yeah why doesn't evoluton evolve now! Nothing seems to have evolved for centuries.

Hate mine. Huge big bust. Small waist and short as f*. Look like middle aged, shrunken Jessica Rabbit after being put into the tumble dryer on hot for 2 days. So hard to find clothes that don’t make look like a giant pair of tits on stumps.

Amen sister!

Lol we need a big breasts support group

I agree I'm a 34FF and I hate it. Clothes don't hang nicely on large breasts. I did breastfeed, but they never shrank down afterwards. Pre-children I was a size 34D which felt far more manageable.

Yeah its so hard to find clothes. I've taken to wearing massive hoodies at home during rhe winter. Summer is always a problem for mw

Mine are pretty huge too and I am also short in stature. Some years ago I found a lump which thankfully turned out to be a large but rare benign lump. It was removed by the most amazing surgeon who told me that it was important to him that he caused minimal scarring if he could just carry out a lumpectomy. There was a risk that I required a mastectomy, thankfully I did not but husband and I both agreed that my breasts had served their intended purpose (bf 4 babies)so was more concerned about my health than breast removal and would have requested that both be removed in that case.

I'm too nervous to get a reduction. I wonder will i regret it. What actually happens in a reduction?

I hear you. I am thin everywhere else except for these massive boobs. Looks ridiculous and impossible to dress because my frame is very small but I need a bigger top to house the beasts and the rest is too big.

I don't think you would regret it, reducing them is very different to having implants etc to augment them. Maybe talk to someone about it and see if it's something you could consider?

@Kjones27 there was a channel four documentary about men complaining about having too big a penis. I think I can be fairly confident though in saying that more women suffer with large breasts.
