guiltyangel - these boards tend to not advocate cosmetic surgery, but if you're in pain, that's a different matter.

You may want to see what non-surgical options there are - physical therapy, or back/shoulder/chest strengthening exercises might help you.

Simply stated, I LOVE my boobs. So much. I did not always feel this way. During middle school and the first half of high school, I hated them. They were so ridiculously small. I was very skinny for my height (like, people seriously thought I had an eating disorder), so in hindsight it was all proportionate. But at the time, I hated them. I was certain I was going to stay stuck at a nearly-B, and I was distraught.

Then they sort of...exploded...during the winter of my junior year of high school. I grew an entire cup size in a couple months, but didn't really notice until a guy in my drama class said, "Wow, you sure did grow over winter break" and looked pointedly at my boobs. Then near the end of the school year, I was shopping for a strapless bra for my prom dress, and was literally leaping up and down in the dressing room when the 'C' cup fit.

Senior year of high school, I really began to appreciate them/flaunt them. Low-cut v-necks and I were very good friends, and some of my friends in the drama department began referring to me as Boobs McGee, which I found amusing. It was around that time that they were named: my right boob is Jennifer, left is Moesha. My cleavage is named Raquelle. I like Moseha better; she's slightly bigger than Jenny. But Raquelle's my absolute favorite.

Now that I'm in college, I've grown to an even higher level of boob self-worship. My friends and I are slight exhibitionists, so we're topless/naked around each other quite a bit. Comparing mine to my friends's, I must say I lucked out. Although I've put on some weight since middle school, I'm still slender, and, as one girl said, "You're stacked for a skinny girl!".

My college's production of the Vagina Monologues has an optional tradition of raising money via auctioning nude photographs of cast members, which I partook in. It was one of the best experiences of my life, so affirming. Not only did it help me love my boobs even more, but it also helped me get over my hang-up I have with my vulva, which was exciting. If you ever have the opportunity to take classy nude photographs, I totally recommend it.

The only drawbacks of having nicely-sized boobs is that I always have to wear a bra. My girlfriend is an A, and she rubs it in my face by talking about how nice it is to not have to wear bras if she doesn't want to. But I have some pretty fun bras (my favorite is turquoise with black polka-dots) so even that is not that bad.

And although they're big enough to require bras, I don't get any back pain or shoulder tension or anything.

Simply stated, I love my boobs.

I am really jealous of all of you boob loving people. I am small and I have huge saggy boobs and I wish I could be topless and feel comfortable but I just feel plain ugly. Like someone else who posted, my boyfriend says he likes them...but I just can't like myself. I'm happy that I am healthy and that I have boobs. I should really be thankful.

I love my breasts too. I was around 9 when they developed, which really weirded me out as a child. They're around a 34 or a 36 C, I think. I love them. I think breasts of all sizes are beautiful, though. I've been trying to convince my smaller friends of that for years. :-D

When I was 12 oe 13 or so, all of my friends had boobs and I couldn't even fit into bras. I had tons of self-esteem issues and boys always calling me and telling me their boobs were bigger than mine and stupid things that really ruined my image of myself. I am 17 now with 32/34 A size and I am proud!

Interestingly, I have the smallest boobs per my size of anyone who's posted yet on this thread. I am 5''10 and 36AA, and I DON'T cARE really, one way or the other. It's not something I think about much, but it's sort of interesting hearing lots of comments of people who do care, both male and female, and then sometimes that makes me wonder 'Is this something other people notice about me?' My sister looks very similar to me except for a more symmetrical face and D cups, and she does seem to get more positive attention for her physical appearance. She also is very proud of her large breasts, and my youngest sister is hoping she turns out more like the sister with D breasts than the sister with AA breasts, even though I'm fine with mine and I try to show this to her. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here. I guess I feel like this is just such a "grass is always greener" issue. I sympathize with big-breasted girls who complain about the physical discomfort, but then I wonder "would they really be happiest giving up the positive attention they get?"

Oh another interesting tidbit is that while breasts have been a big deal in lots of cultures off and on, in western culture they really weren't a big deal at all for centuries during the middle ages and renaissance. It was considered much less scandalous to show boobs in public than it was to show ankles. So for example, instead of wearing short skirts, prostitutes went around with their shirts undone.

When I was studying historical costumes before our musical, I came across a bunch of I think 10th century dresses that just... let your boobs hang out. The "neckline" (if you could call it that) went right under your breasts.

Anyway, I do heart my breasts muchly. They're 38D, but I think I'd be happy with them whatever size they are. I know that if/when I lose some weight, they'll probably go down to a B-cup or something, but that's okay.

And to be completely honest, the whole fascination with large breasts really confuses me. Ever since I played "Tomb Raider" as a child, I kept wondering how Lara Croft could do all that stuff with her huge boobs in the way. Any comic book character too, with huge, perfectly round breasts held up by two strategically placed shoelaces. Hello, artists--boobs don't work like that.

Having spent about 3 years referring to myself as the "ironing board" and "apprentice man"..i've decided i dont mind my boobs that much, not really. [Smile] They're a 36B, which I know is a very reasonable size, but i'm kind of tall, so sometimes i DID feel like an ironing board, lol.

I've often wondered why when my male friends (who are pretty perverted I spose) draw naked women all over thier rough books at school, always draw breasts like enormous cannon balls, practically wrapped round the poor lady's collarbones. I mean most of them are yet to get a girlfriend, sure, but its still pretty obvious where they go, isnt it ? [Big Grin]
lmao.

Right. The number has nothing to do with the cup (breast size).

I'm starting to like my breasts more and more. I didn't start puberty until 15, and my breasts were actually breast buds until I was 17! Fortunately they started to grow these past couple of years, and from an under AA cup I finally go to an A -- yay! I used to be so embarrassed because I couldn't fit into the smallest bra. Now I'm 32A, and I feel I look pretty proportional. I love how many breasts are a little on the small side because I do sports. Certain times in the month they get bigger too [Big Grin] And I look forward to see them grow a little more.

I used to hate my breasts. I wore a 34A and felt that they were small and un-womanly. Until...

Now that I'm 6 months pregnant, I'm barely squeezing into a 34C. In fact, after I get paid this weekend I have got to go buy a bigger size because I am being squished to death. But Anyway, with this sudden growth I have begun to LOVE these breasts, stretch marks, huge veins and all. And not only do I love my marked up tender huge breasts, but I love my breasts of the former, non-pregnant life, the 34A size that my boyfriend called bite size. Living with tiny breasts and suddenly with larger ones has made me realize that it's not the size or fullness that matters. If and when my breasts shrink back down, I know I will feel grateful, sexy, and desirable with them because any shape of a woman's body is beautiful.

(I'm feelin' PREACHY.)

I am completely happy with my breasts. I'm 14, 5'7.5"-ish and about a 34B or occasionally 32C (ha they're pretty much the same anyways... just depends on the elasticity of the band for me) again with the not too big, not too small thing... I can wear necklines that a few of my friends can't get away with without looking mildly trashy:P Don't have any trouble finding clothing that fits, or bras that fit... really, i couldn't ask for anything more (or less!)
A while ago, i was concerned that they were "too small" but then i realized that my worries were completely nonsensical because there is no such thing. ♥Love your boobs, they are amazing things!

I m 16 years old, and im in two minds about my breasts. Always the late developer, i devloped in my year 9 ... aged about 14-15... I grew very very fast I was wearing 32A then Suddenly i grew into a 34C, after a rough time i put on weight and grew to the size i am now , 36C.

In many ways i love my breasts, the compliments i get off of guys and wen i wear low cut tops .... AND i prefer the lift padded bras give me. However, I have a huge love/hate relationship with my body as I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and my stomach swells ... sometimes im a size 12 then i may be a size 16... so it comes down to this ... the day i actually love my body with be the day I make my mind up... untill then I'll take what my b/f, girlfriends , guy friends and parents say on board, and deal with it when i feel right [Smile]
but i like the curves [Wink]

Hi,
I realise that as a guy my thoughts and qustions may not be welcome in this matter.

But having found this site (and wishing that I had sooner). I am reminded of a conversation I was trapped into by a bunch of my female friends (most of my friends are women, blokes tend to bully me for one reason or another but thats for another board)

Basicly the topic was this: they had come to a consensus point that for right-handed women the left breast is bigger than the right and visa-versa for left-handed women.
Now having read most of the messages here I have noticed that many of you have nentioned a size difference and I wonder if you conform with the thesis? and if there is an explaination for it?

Also I feel that I should clarify, earlier I said that my friends trapped me with this conversation. I said that because of the way they steered the topic towards asking if the same is true of testes. Now as much as I love these women, we were at school and having lunch so I didn't feel (no pun intended) like finding out there and then.

Secret999: for some women, hormonal birth control can cause an increase in breast size WHILE they are using it. It is not permanent.

Gewain: I've never seen any data, at all, to back up your theory, and given the construction of the breast, that's not possible. It's a given that in people -- of any gender -- some of the muscles BENEATH the breast may well be larger on the side of the body with a dominant hand or arm (which is actually the opposite of what you're postulating), which might make that breast appear larger, but that's not the actual breast, which is composed mainly of glands and above the pectoral muscles, and those glands are unaffected by muscular movement. The size and composition of the breast is largely about glandular issues, which are primarily genetic.

I hit puberty a few months from my 12th birthday and literally everything physical came at once--the growth spurt, the boobs, period, everything--in the space of four months. Then it stopped abruptly, and nothing's grown since. I've been 5'4" with a size 34A since I was 12. And they even manage to sag, small as they are. It doesn't help that I'm a bit overweight. I think that if I were at a healthier weight, I'd be happier with my breasts, because they'd be more in proportion with a smaller frame, but it'd be nice if they grew anyways...though after 8 years I suppose I have no hope, eh?

I Love my breasts as well as their large size, for someone who's only just turned fourteen, of c-38, but I'm slightly overweight so when I go out I tend to wear lowcut shirts to show off which I think is my only asset. As pwk23 said "I'd probably be happier with my breasts if I were at a healthir weight." I may not be happy with my weight but hell am I happy with my breasts.

sooo... boobage. yes, boobage. i wear a 36 FF. and, for all those of you which have large breasts, and even those of you that dont, this place online, also offered at nordstroms that i know of, is called a GoddessBra. and holy crud but they werent lying. it is THE most comfortable thing i have ever had the *cough* privelage *cough* to stuff my boobies into.

i started growing breasts when i was 7 or so, and they havent stopped since. and , as i am an all around curvy woman (at 15 thankyouverymuch) i love them. but i also know that when i finally get around to losing the 70 lbs my doctor says i should, i will lose much of my lovely breasts. and as, up until this year, i have loathed them, i will miss them dearly. but, my health is at stake, and i will do as my doctor says.

back to boobies, i absolutely, positively LOVE MY BOOBAGE. and my cleavage... wow. just... wow. *a note of sadness* i actually had a pretty bra, (which let me tell you, is REALLY HARD TO FIND becuase apparently big women are all in their 100's and have no need of beautiful, functional bras. and it broke. as in, the wire went *snap* and broke. so, in that case, i hate boobs. but most of the time, i love them, and i walk around mostly nude nearly all the time (to the dismay of my family members)

=)tee hee

Sympathy to Rayn. Good bras are a pain to find, especially for the larger sizes.

Not overweight, I am averaging 34E/triple D....

Simply put- ARGH. I dread to think what hormonal birth control would do to the monsters. They've managed to burst the buttons from too many nice shirts as it is...<insert rant about how the fashion industry assumes that large-chested ladies all have implants which require no support, or something, etc. etc.>

...argh. [Smile]

I love my breasts. They are the perfect size for me. 38B. They'll probably grow a little bit more as I get a little older, but right now, they are perfect. I developed before most of my friends did, so my chest usually stood out, but I was proud of that. But ahhh!! Boobs are soo cool, no matter what size they are! I'm sure they must be painful for people with larger breasts, I know it hurts even for me when I run, and I can't understand if some one wanted to get breats reduction. But...boobs! They are so awsome.

I am also perfectly happy with my breast the way they are. They aren't too big nor too small. But you know my breasts are just not something I care about every day.

I'm 16 and around a 32B. My breasts were barely an A until I went on the pill, and since then they've grown and I'm pretty sure they still are *woot!* I'm a pretty small girl (5'2 - 115) but my grandmothers and my mother all have large breasts. I feel less self-conscious since they've started to grow, but I still find myself wishing I could just grow another cup size and fit nicely into a strapless dress.

There's no need to worry about how your breasts, or the rest of your body, looks compared to other girls. You're you... be proud of being unique. It's NOT good to hate your body.

34B is not on the big side... it's a little smaller than average in the United States. As far as whether your breasts will get bigger, especially during pregnancy - that's something you can't predict.

If you're worried about having a less-than-firm bosom, do chest-strengthening exercises like pushups. It'll help keep your chest muscles strong & firm up your breasts.

Are you dealing with other body image issues?

nice topic, anything that can show appreciation and have a positive spin on the female body can really make a girl feel good [Smile] so much of this world is fixated on what's perfect in the eyes of society, instead of what's perfect for YOU.
i had a total transformation during the summer between my 5th grade and 6th grade years (so i was 11 going on 12), then i gained weight when i was 15 and then dieted and exercised to get rid of that weight when i was around 18, thus i lost quite a bit of my breast size with it - i hated it for a while, i'd probably really only gone down a cup size (if that), but it seemed like a big deal at the time. image-wise i was really self conscious, thought i had to look flawless, like every chick in the magazines/tv shows/etc. but i've recently come to terms with my size (which is a 36-nearly-C, still quite a good size i know) and i feel they fit my body shape perfect, so i'm slowly starting to accept and be proud of how i look. (especially with a boyfriend who loves them and applauds their "symmetry", nice of him to notice [Razz] [Wink] )

Awesome topic!!
I recently really began to love my breasts... I used to be super self-conscious and wore baggy clothes etc., but then I lost about 15 pounds and started caring a little bit more about being somewhat well-dressed, and with that came the realization that, wow, I have boobs! I'm a 34B, so not massive or anything, but I think they're quite nice, and my boyfriend adores them. Plus, I'm into rock climbing which uses loads of upper-body strength, so I've got decent muscles under the twins to keep them nice and firm! I'm about to go on the pill, so I guess I may go up a tad - which, I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind - but even if I don't I'm perfectly content with my wonderful breasts as they are.

I LOVE my boobs (and other chicks boobs too..check the username, lol). I also developed early, and because I was chubby, I remember one boy telling me, "those aren't real boobs, it's just fat!" (which is technicially true, but you know what he meant). I love my boobs, I think they're a beautiful chocolate color. The only problem I have, and it isn't really a PROBLEM, is that I have some kinda hormone thing where I grow a few sparse hairs (like 5 or 6) on my chin (where a beard would be if I were a guy) and I also every once in a while grow a hair or two in my boobs. But it's nothing I can't pluck, so no biggie. I'm a 40D by the way. :-D

I'm lovely

"I used to not be very happy with my breasts cause they're small. 34A. But I'm much happier with them now because my boyfriend really likes them(and he's not even a breast man). He says that the size suits my body and that they're a nice shape. He's done wonders for my self image."

Thats actually pretty much my story, but mine are 32A.

A previous boyfriend really screwed up my self image. I think something may have been psychologically a little weird about him (for instance, I NEVER saw his penis flaccid, ever), and he pushed a lot of stuff on me, enough that one might even call it sexual abuse. Trying to have--to put this politely--intercourse with my mammaries was a real downer, because he had the gall to complain, when he was the one who wanted to try in the first place!

The current boyfriend has done a lot to repair my self image. My entire self image has improved so much since I got out of that old relationship. My boobs are just fine, titty****ing be damned.

I don't mind my boobies, but they aren't anything really special at this point in my life either. I like their size too (34B) they fit my body type well and my personality. Any bigger and I think they would get in the way of my active life style. I also like how my left is bigger than my right, but I can get pretty self-consious about that around people that I am not close with. However I asked some friends about it once and they said theirs are different too. Yay for being a girl!

I'm 16 now and i was one of the first in my class to develop breasts when i was 9, My breasts are still growing and my bra size changes constantly but so does my weight. Your breast size depends on your build and weight so if you are very small and light then your breasts will be quite small and if not i wouldn't worry about them stop growing because they still can

And if they don't grow, that's fine, too. Don't feel like you have to wear ridiculous underwear just to conform to an arbitrary beauty standard. You're great no matter what size they are.

I developed my breasts when i was about 12 or 13 and when i was about 14 my breasts stopped growing. I'm a 32a and i don't feel insecure or embarassed about it. I'm almost 16, and i've come to realize that nobody really cares about your breast size other than you. Nobody decides what size you get. What you get is what you get. I'm happy with my current size and i hope not to grow to much more. I love having small breasts because they never get in the way, plus they go quiet nicely with my figure. So for the girls that are embarrassed and insecure about there "small" breasts, nobody will make a big deal about it if your happy and comfertable with your size. As long as you have a great personality everybody will love you!

It's interesting how so many girls in this topic have breasts on the average-to-small side and still wish they could be smaller!

I was one of those early bloomers, the ones who had classmates yelling things like "Nice jugs" at them in grade 4. I've never really taken offense at that stuff, what's more bothersome is how my mom used to point out that shirts with horizontal stripes emphasized the fact that my boobs are uneven (by nearly a cup size) since the stripes would go all weird over the bigger boob!!

I'm a 36DD (the left one is almost DDD but still squeezes into a DD cup if it's not a demi cup or anything skimpy!). I never really hated my boobs; what I hated was the fact that it would cause pain in my shoulders since apparently lingerie stores think that DD breasts can be held up by straps only a centimetre thick and "waistbands" (or whatever they're called) made of spandex that stretch out within 10 minutes of wear... but I've switched to sports bras, and there are no issues now!

For the record- my boyfriend doesn't seem to miss the fancy bras at all, he seems to like the sports bras better since they aren't padded and they keep my girls perky!

I quite like my boobs now. They started developing eaaarly, when I was about eight, and I'm now a 34/36 C pushing D and they STILL seem to be growing. Lefty's also about a half-size smaller than Righty.

I like how they seem to balance out my butt so I'm pear-looking, but the way they push my clothes out tends to make me look bigger in the waist than I am. [Roll Eyes] Finding clothing that fits right in the chest without me popping out and isn't sagging in the waist is a pain sometimes.

Lol, I just read when ya'll started growing yours. [Big Grin] I grew mine about......8/9/10 around those years.....But I do like them, not LOVE them [Big Grin] .But they're such DUDS.

And it's difficult for me too Inferni.

Hehe, and the only reason I wear a bra is so that my nipples don't stand out to much.

I think I love my boobs. They're small and not getting any bigger but when I look around at most women, their boobs aren't generally huge. We just have a skewed image of what the perfect woman is, when in reality we are all great the way we are. No matter what size they are, give your boobs a nice friendly squeeze and remind yourself that your beautiful. Check for lumps too.

I like my breasts. I wouldn't go so far as to say I love them, but I like 'em a lot. I'm a 34 D cup, I think (though, of course, lacking money and having grown recently, most of my bras are 32 D *grumblegrumble*). The bra store where I live is wonderful, though, it's owned by an 82-year-old woman, and her two part-time employees are 40s-ish and 20s-ish respectively, so there's someone for all ages. And they're really nice, and they're NOT Victoria's Secret!

i heard your breasts don't finish devloping until you like 21 or something.
I know i was pretty small until i went to college. I didn't gain any weight either, it was weird. but hey i'm not complaining.

Normally boobs stop devloping 4 years after your first period but other things can change that, such as weight & child birth. I use to get teased constantly because i was sooo small. I was a late bloomer and then after my first child they rocketed to a 36DD (Even in the G while I was lactating!) Not to say you should go out and get pregent for boobies!

If you do have insecurites about it. I dont see anything wrong with padded bras really. Yes its silly and somtimes i look back at when i was so small cheasted and miss it.

Im pretty happy to even have some boobies.
I have fibrocystic breasts. (any sistas in the house?) and that can be painful at times.
then i got a cancerlike growth that grew to be plum sized and had to be removed. scary. it left me with pretty much half of the original breast and a big ol scar. but my breast experience has made me a way stronger person. way less self concious even though i expected it to be the opposite.

I wish I could show my boobs off more.....but I can't. Not because my mom won't let me.....it's just that when I started getting acne on my Chest....instead of healing and going away....it left scars. I have a BUNCH of scars on my chest, and I feel so self concious about them. So I wear shirts that cover up almost everything, so I don't have to go through the imberressing looks about my chest [Frown]

Ahaha.. Scratch the 34C I said I was; I popped up to a 34-6D after being on the pill for a month. I didn't expect this much growth, especially so fast!

I have a scar on my left breast, arcing in a half-circle down from my subclavicle to a few inches above my areola. I used to be self concious of it, but it's slowly fading... and I find that I'm almost sad about it.

It's a symbol of my survivorhood. A reminder of that moment in time when I had to decide between fear and self preservation. Between being a victim or a survivor.

I Kinda like mine too..
Being in Australia, Bra sizes differ to those in USA
14D/16D(AU) depending on the make would be 36D/38D(US) Im only 18 and started developing at 10yo.. one of the bigger chested girls in high school, it annoyed me at times cause i was tall as well.. Now 6ft tall and laughing at the high school mutter about me.. 1 or 2 sizes smaller would be great..They just get in the way cause i love sleeping on my stomach. Id always be told by mum to wear bigger jumpers or cover up.. Dad says, if u got it..be proud and show it(To a certain extent).
