Big breasts suck

[BigBreastedCow]

AIBU in being absolutely fed up with my big saggy breastfeeding boobs?! I absolutely hate when I see influencers or women in real life moaning (boasting) about being a member of the “itty bitty titty committee” when surely everyone knows they look better in clothes, don’t have to deal with huge, industrial bras, and back ache, and looking fat because of your chest.
How I envy woman who miraculously escape pregnancy and breastfeed with a small chest!

I hate mine, they are 36H.
I feel like if they were cut off/reduced I'd go down a few dress sizes. I just look matronly and horrible. Mkes me look fat but it's not my tummy! Very frustrating

Before breastfeeding, I was a 30B. My boobs never returned to that size and they’ve stayed a 32DD. I’m thankful that they’re a great shape and have stayed really perky, but I’d rather go back to my little Bs.

Losing weight will shrink them though so that's my first port of call before a reduction

You and me both sister.

I don’t like either too. They’ve been huge since I was about 18 (34G) and I always felt so out of place going out with my small chested friends because I always looked much bigger than them, despite being quite slim. I also get so stressed this time of year because I never know what to wear with my big chest.

I could have written that post, word for word.

If binders weren't so unhealthy, i'd bloody buy one.

I hate mine too 😒,I'm an L cup and finding bras in that size are near enough impossible,even from retailers who specialise in big boob bras.The biggest I can find in the UK are a K cup so I have to wear bras that are too small for me just so I can wear a bra.I wear a normal bra then like a sports bra/crop top type thingy ontop of that to catch the overspill and to give a little extra support as no bra gives me sufficient lift as my boobs are so big and heavy.
I feel like a freak everyday with them as they are impossible to miss and clothes never sit right on me 😔.
I wouldn't qualify for a reduction on the NHS due to my BMI and there's no way in the world I can afford to go private so I'm stuck with them.They really are the bane of my life.

There's so many of us whose lives would be massively improved by getting a reduction, it feels so unfair we can't get one on the NHS. It massively affects our quality of life in so many ways, psychologically and physically, it's so frustrating. You just have to read threads from women who've had breast reductions, to see how much their lives have improved. We shouldn't have to save up £9k to do this!

And, it's NOT about losing weight!

Yanbu. I’ve always had small ones, they didn’t change during pregnancy, didn’t get that big during BF, and are okay now. I’ve never wanted big boobs & don’t understand boob jobs at all… Most of my friends with big ones absolutely hate them!

You and me both! I used to long for bigger boobs and I'm so glad that I couldn't afford augmentation surgery in my 20s when I really wanted it.

I wish. I lost 3 stone and all I did was end up in a smaller back size so 34K to 32KK and made it even harder for myself to buy bras!

Agree with you all. When I was slim and toned I was a 34FF. I was tall but had a small back in proportion and so I honestly looked like I'd had a boob job/porn star. It made me feel horribly self concious all the time. Worst of all the fuckers had stretchmarks from my teens which made me feel even worse about them. Not a single stretchmark on my stomach to this day but tons on my boobs.
They had a good shape and were reasonably pert for their size but when I got 'looked at' I used to think don't bother unless you love stretchmarks. To this day even though I am old and fat I am fucked off about it.

I would have happily settled for a medium size pair that didn't look like a road map of stretchmarks.

Now I'm fat they are even bigger but because my stomach is also huge they look smaller if that makes sense. Still no stretchmarks on my stomach though which somehow makes it worse.

A guy I dated for a couple of years was great though and said if you have an amazing beautiful car and it has a bunch of scratches on it, it's still an amazing beautiful car....it just has some scratches. I really appreciated that (thus why I'm sharing it'

Having to lug around massive boobs which were appealing under clothes but felt quite disfigured naked used to really depress me.

Stretchmarks when you've had a ton of babies - not great, but okay sort of acceptable. A ton of them when you are 14 and got worse when I was 19 just fuck off. (I had a hormone imbalance at 19, my prolactin level was really high even though I was not pregnant and my guess it that is why they suddenly got worse at 19 after staying the same for a few years)

Small boobs - you can wear strappy clothes, not be too hot and if you really hate it get a boob job. Not ideal I know but a solution of sorts.
Stretchmarks - not a thing you can do about it and none of those stupid creams made an iota of difference.

Am just 3 weeks post a reduction as part of reconstruction surgery after a lumpectomy. Have gone from an H cup to a D cup and it’s fantastic. I would never have considered it if it wasn’t for the lumpectomy, but now I wish I’d considered it simply for the reduction. It’s great not to have them hurting my back and swinging around and generally getting in the way. If you’re finding your breasts annoying it’s probably worth seeing if something can be done.

And from what I hear if they are small they stay quite pert when you get old. Mine are heading south quite dramatically now in my fifties.
I am really hoping they will get smaller after menopause finishes although I guess them I'm going to have empty, saggy skin which is not exactly a great look either.

Honestly get a breast reduction but dont end up with over reduced numb botched breasts like ive got. It can work out a treat.

YANBU. Get a breast reduction.

I had a breast reduction in January this year and it's the BEST thing I have ever done. I'm 47 and I wish to goodness I'd done it as soon as I was done having kids. I was a 40FF and now I am a 38B. I bought my first nice (and underwired) bras this week and it's been a delight wearing them (you have to wear compression bras for at least 4 months but I've waited almost 7 as when I tried one on in La Senza back in May, it just didn't feel right yet). I was worried I might look out of proportion, but I don't at all (and I'm not small, I'm probably an 18/20 UK dress size). So many people have commented on how well I look - I carry myself differently without even thinking about it. I lost 7lbs instantly. That was half a stone pulling on my neck. I can wear vest tops, go braless in comfort, and still look fine.

My neck ache and tense shoulders went INSTANTLY. My friend had one just a few months before me, and when she said about that, I was thinking "nooo, that's the painkillers love". She was 100% right. I felt the release instantly and it was not due to painkillers.

I managed it, but breastfeeding was hard with such big boobs - my son was tiny with a tiny mouth and I can still recall (and wince at) the sharp pain as he latched on - he's 20 now. He just couldn't fit the whole nipple in his mouth easily so he would clamp on the end. Oh, the pain!

I couldn't bear my husband touching my breasts at all when they were huge, but having the reduction has opened up a nicer level of intimacy too. I have one nipple that's healed slightly puckered but I do not care. It's not like I want anyone else staring at them - gotta be honest, I do like looking at them myself now - I'm 47 with the tits of a 20-year-old, as my daughter proudly told me.

I waited 3 years (I'm not in the UK but I am in a country that has a universal healthcare system so I didn't go private/pay), but honestly, get to the doctors and get yourself on the waitlist.

My 38HHs were the absolute bane of my life for 30 years. Then they EBF my little daughter and I was in awe of them. I know that sounds like wank, but it's true. I felt like it had been worth every industrial bra, every lack of strapless option and every bit of backache. They went on to EBH a second baby and ever since then, I can't be mad at the droopy bastards.

@extraonions would you mind giving details of which crop tops you use please ? I'm a 36H too and I'd love to find one I could use.

I've always had big boobs. For those on here saying they find exercise difficult, an absolute game changer for me is a zip up sports bra. Weat a soft crop top over it if you're a bit self conscious of it being held up by a zip. It holds my F cups well in place while running or playing football.

I had breast reduction surgery, went from 36 HH to 36/34 D.
It was life changing
BUT...bloody menopause and hrt has made them grow again and now a 36E.
They make me look hugely fatter and dumpier than I am.
I do usually lose weight off them eventually if I diet so going to try injectables next month.

GG not able to bf no milk...got breast cancer begged for mastectomy as the neck problems causing migraine were crippling. Spend £100 s on bras can't get a reduction on NHS and can't afford one. Hate them

I think that depends how big you are
A 28F for example isn't that big. I don't have the choice of a zip up sports bra as they don't exist in my size

Jumping on to agree. Had 32H/HH for years now with peri menopause and HRT I'm in 34JJ and 34K. Saggy and tender. Finding sports bras more comfortable but distraught that the bravissimo inspire one I love is being discontinued. Also need wide straps with the pain of digging in. Have promised myself once through menopause I'll get reduced although DH not happy about it.
