Big norks - no problem?

[Wuldric]

DD (15) is struggling with body image, I think. Currently the issue is her norks. She is very tall and very slender but she has big norks. Her current size is 32 G. She feels really horribly uncomfortable with this. She is sporty and she doesn't like the bouncing when she runs or shoots. She doesn't like the male attention, But most of all, she does not like being so big that getting clothes is an issue (you try getting a trenchcoat that works for someone with massive norks who is a size 8 normally).

She 'casually' mentioned breast reduction. I am wholly against any surgical reduction. I would like her to feel comfortable in her own (in my view rather lovely) skin. Do you have any suggestions? We already do Bravissimo. She is a bit down about this.

Pepperberry do clothes for large norkage

I would let her think about this in her own time. Docs won't do anything until she is 18 anyway.

IMHO having overly large boobs can be horrible. I was 32HH pre pregnancy and I'm now 32JJ 3 months postpartum (not breastfeeding either).

The constant "oh my god look at those tits" is annoying and a few bastards idiots told me the only reason men are interested in me is because of my boobs when I was 16ish.

The main thing is the pain. Its awful and my posture sucks because of them. A lot of my friends say they would kill for my boobs but if they knew of the daily back ache, the struggle it is to bend over, pick up my son and hold him for a length of time they would reconsider! Plus the fact that overly large boobs tend to go south a lot quicker can lead to self-esteem issues when she gets older and gets a boyfriend.

You may be against surgery but sometimes it's necessary, for a persons physical and emotional wellbeing. Besides, it's her body, not yours and you should support her.

Don't knock the reduction on the head. Having massive breasts is soul destroying. My and my sister were both overblessed, 10 years ago dsis had the op.
She is now a different person. Before she was a size 8 and spilling out of ggs. She had to wear size 12 to 14 tops and t shirts over her swimsuits as she looked like a porn star in even the most modest suit. The awful thing is she was treated like a porn star from the most horrid men from age 15.
Now she can buy clothes she likes not ones that cover, she can buy underwear that's pretty. The stoop in her upper back has gone and the scars and welts on her shoulders have vanished.
I say this with envy. I'm a size 8 and wear a 28h. I have no pretty underwear. I have to buy clothes very carefully and I've never managed to get a shirt, I I look top heavy or I can't get the buttons done up. Buying swim wear reduces me to tears as nothing fits or supports, even at bravissimo. I don't swim anymore as I can't take the stress of shopping for it.
Tell your daughter to wait until she's 21, in case she hasn't stopped growing and if she's really sure then to support her.
Big breasts are hell.

Thanks all - in a moment of madness I bought her a couple of jackets that were tailor made so that something fits. SHe thinks she looks out of proportion and is worrying about it. I'd like to shelve the idea of surgical intervention for now at least
