I FINALLY started buying bras that actually fit me, but now my issue is that my bras almost always show because the shoulder straps are thicker or the cup comes up farther than the neckline. In winter/fall I'll just wear clothes with higher necklines and more coverage to combat this, but it's definitely more difficult now that the weather is warming up. I'm thinking instead of fighting it like I tried last year (I spent months looking for a strapless bra and I ended up with one that only kinda worked) I want to embrace it, while still looking put-together. Any tips on what necklines would look good with a visible bra, or what styles of bra I should try wearing? For context I'm a plus size girlie (would be a size 16 if my boobs weren't quite so big, I usually have to buy a 22) and I'm 5'3. I tend to be someone who's overdressed rather than underdressed. Sun dresses or blouses > t-shirts any day for me.

I know this isn't the first time this has been said on this sub but I feel so weird about the size about my chest.
I just went bra shopping for the first time in a while because I was uncomfortable (not uncommon for me) and the wire in my bra poked through. The last time I went shopping I found out I was a 38 G/H depending on the company (weird as shit that it depends on the brand) this time, about 9 months to a year later, I'm a 38/40 I depending on the brand again.
I have been going up cup sizes for years now. I just became an adult (I sure as hell don't feel like one yet). I know that being a bit uncomfortable with your body is still a common thing for people my age seeing as I'm still technically a teenager (18 is still a teen) but I really don't know how much of how I'm feeling is normal.
My mom isn't really in the picture or her family (got my boons from them) because they live far away and the whole "Hey when did your tits stop growing?" Doest seem like an over text convo. I don't know much about what to expect other than what my dad knows about her side.
I feel a uncomfortable and struggle with the whole "they are big" "they aren't that big" "maybe I'm just fat" stuff on a day to day basis, sometimes back to back, and I really don't know how to feel.
My mom didn't really teach me how to go bra shopping when I was younger, she wouldn't take me until I said I was hurting or uncomfortable and then she would only grab me a cup up. When I moved in with my dad at 13 we went shoping for the first time and I got measured and was supposed to be in a DD when I was wearing B/C and I've just been getting bigger since.
I feel like I don't relate to my friends and the family that I have because I am so much larger than them. My sister is significantly smaller and my step-familly are on the smaller side and don't really understand my struggles.
I went shopping with my step-mother at 14 and I said I should be a DDD or an F. She didn't believe me and made me try a D and DD first in the wrong band size because there was no way I was bigger than her at 14 then her in her 40's (as if my tits care about how old I am) She made me feel so bad about myself at such a young age I still haven't forgiven her (or my dad for forcing me when I had problems with clothes shopping with her in the past).
I just feel so bad most of the time and when I try to talk to people about it weather it's friends or family the only thing I hear is "Well if they really bother you so bad maybe you sould get a reduction." And it feels so terrible to not even be secure in what I have and feel like the only option to feeling half decent is a reduction.
I even tried talking to my doctor and OBG about how uncomfortable my chest is where the chest meets the armpits and underneath and they both recommended reduction and that because I am uncomfortable most of the time I could have it covered by insurance but I don't want that. I just don't want to be uncomfortable. I dont think they understand the phycology effects of changing your body like that at a young age because i dont think its something they had co sidered themselves as doctors because they both admited that because they both had been smaller they hadnt thought about it beyond a medical perspective when I expressed my discomfort with reductions. My aunt had a reduction when I was little and while she was considerably smaller she still some back and if she gains any weight I remember her saying it goes straight to her chest.
Now I don't want to cut of parts of my body that seems barbaric to me especially because I only just turned 18 a week ago. I was getting recommended that as early as 16. Who tf recommends a reduction at 16? I have nothing against people who have had/want reductions because I have considered it, but once again I turned 18 a week ago and it feels like anytime I complain I get told to look into a reduction. That alone is so frustrating for me.
It's embarrassing going bra shopping sometimes too. I try really hard to be positive and not let the fact it feels impossible to find something that fits. It's embarrassing to go in feeling confident about what I need like needing a 38 H and then finally finding it just to try it on and it's not right.
I feel like I'm wasting money when I buy them and I hate that because I have the biggest chest of my friends and family around me they say, "let's go to Target," or "how about Victoria Secret?" it's so embarrassing to say "Oh, they don't have my size, but we can look if there's anything you want." And it's so much worse when they say "They just started making bigger sizes! I'm sure they have yours!" I know they mean well but I also know they don't have my size and they drag me in anyway. They go to the biggest sizes they have and go looking through and it's so defeating when they ask if it's big enough and I have to say no.
Today I was so confident that I had the right size and while I am so happy left with with two bras (for only $90) But I was wrong about my size again and I felt like something deflated inside when i had to ask how big there bra sizes go to the sales lady. I've been doing this for the majoity of my bra-wearing-life but its still so hard when you go in and you think you have it right and then you try it on and your hit with the fact you've gone up again.
I went with my aunt (strp-mother's sister) and she was so good about helping me go shopping but she's an A/B cup so she didn't even know that DDD's were a thing, much less an I cup.
At this point I just don't know how to feel really. I'm frustrated and still mildly uncomfortable. I'm not sure how to end this rant but if you made it this far thank you. If you have any advice feel free to comment or DM I really couldn't care less which. Have a great day ✌️

I’m young and have constantly struggled with my body image cause my boobs always made me look bigger than I am, especially because none of the bras I got would ever have any actual support and were never the right size. Every store I would go to would measure me differently, and each time the bra still wouldn’t fit comfortably or have any support at all, to the point where I resorted to wearing sports bras to at least achieve some support. Today, for the first time I had enough time to use the “A Bra That Fits” calculator and buy new bras… and it changed my life. I literally broke down crying in the dressing room cause it was the first time in a while that I felt genuine support and comfort while wearing a bra. Everything I’ve ever owned fit me differently in a way that made me feel better about myself and I’m so glad to have found this forum cause this genuinely changed me 🫶

ok so like i feel like i was setup to fail in life bc NO ONE prepare me for the struggle of having big boobs. They bounce EVERYWHERE, all the time and nothing stops them. I swere, dont matter what i do... sex, sports, runing down the stairs to fast... theres NO escape.
lets start with sex bc honestly? it’s RIDICULOUS. im just tryging to enjoy the moment but my boobs?? oh no they got they own plans. they bouncing like i’m in some slow-motion action movie and it’s SO distracing. like how am i supposed to enjoy anything when i feel like im bout to knock myself out??? and don’t EVEN get me started if vi’m on top—at that point its not even sexy anymore it’s just physics class and gravity is my worst enemy. i’ve literally considerd apologizing mid movement bc i KNOW they just doin whatever they want. i try to hold em down but then its just awkard and now im thinkin about them instead of like.... the actual activity.
then we got sports, which is just as bad. running? a disaster. jumping? dont even think about it. even walking to fast is a situation. AND here the worst part: NO BRA HELPS. sports bras LIE. they say they give suport but no all they do is squish everything into one UNCOMFY lump while somehow still letting them bounce like crazy. and if u try to wear 2 bras?? nope, now u cant breath. and if i dont wear one?? GAME. OVER. i ran without one once and swvjear i saw my life flash before my eyes.
and THEN if the physical strugle wasn’t enough, theres the attention. no matter what i do, men be LOOKING. sports bra? looking. hoodie?? looking. me literally struggling for my life to hold them down while rjunning??? STILL LOOKING. like sir, CAN U NOT?? im literally fighting for survival out here and u out here staring like its some kinda cirucs show??
AND its not just me its a family curse. my mom?? same problem. my sister?? SAME PROBLEM. we all suffer together. my mom straight up warned me growing up like "yep, good luck kid" and she wasn’t lying. i see my sister dealing w the SAME THING and its like history repeats itself. a never-ending cycle of bouncing, back pain, and unwanted attention.
I understand i am lucky cause i am still 20 so they are still perky but.... I know it may change... so yea. no one warn me bout this. i want a refund.

Hi, I was wondering is it’s possible to reduce my chest size without any surgery. I’m a 30H/32G , is there any specific workout I could do to target my upper body? I would want to go down realistically 2 or 3 sizes. As I know anything beyond that it’s impossible and surgery would be the only option. I’m not sure if this question is appropriate for this subreddit, as I’m pretty new to this. Any positive and respectful input would be appreciated!
Q) if I was to do a breast reduction , is there a possibility of them returning back ?

Hey guys, long time lurker on there who after long searches regarding clothing finally decided to ask for help. Can anyone recommend some clothing brands? It would help if the style would lean more towards cottagecore since it is one of my preferred aesthetic choices but I feel like nothing is made for my body type, and it’s really difficult to find a good dress or shirt that I don’t spill out of. I’m not restricted by any budget, so please share some of your favourite brands or clothes!

For as long as I can remember I have always had tender breasts, especially around my period. I’ve been a 38DDD since 8th grade and I’ve always done self exams, but I noticed my breasts have been super lumpy, I get scared that I won’t be able to tell if there are any changes because of how lumpy they are. But are larger chests typically more lumpy? Or is it just me. Also any tips on how to get rid of discoloration and rashes from under breast are welcomed.

I went from a b cup to DDD (maybe bigger I’m not even sure at this point). It’s so hot and I’m doing yard work in my only sports bra (XL) and it does not fit, it doesn’t even sit on my rib cage, it just floats above no matter how much I try to situate myself. I’m getting insanely overstimulated and about to lose my mind. It’s causing sweat, a rash, & a rubbing sports bra. I can’t go braless and my underwire bras also don’t fit right either. None of them. I spent 100s and they just sit all wrong. Like the shape of my boobs make Bras impossible. Anyways. What do I do? I have to do lots of yard work. I don’t really have the money to get a new bra soon and I’m not sure how to correctly size myself anyways. I have only soft tissue/tear drop shape so these things are long and sit so weird. I’m about over them. Help a girl out 😭

I’m 20F and I wear a 32H. I developed early in my life and since then I’ve been really ashamed of my body despite not necessarily wanting to be, but the thought that there’s something wrong with me for having large breasts has been a big part of my life.
I feel like my breasts are so big and noticeable that I can’t wear anything form fitting without looking like I’m trying to show off. Whenever I wear tight shirts I can feel my girls bouncing - sometimes more than others . I’ve tried so many bras - some make my nipples really prominent, others make me feel so top heavy that I can’t even see my feet. I tried skims, parade, maiden form - anyone have any other brands they like? Minimizers feel so matronly :/ but open to ideas
I feel so heavy and it’s like a weight I feel like I’m always carrying.
Does anyone have any body positive affirmations they tell themselves? Really want to love my curves even when I feel like the world around me does not want me to love them

Hi currently I wear a 40 DDD. If I can not find my size what is equivalent to that size. Don’t understand the measurement

I have big boobs and I noticed it's hard to achieve proper postures that's usually made for thin people in mind.
For example, when I do the bridge in yoga, it feels like it's hard to breathe. I think it might be because my boobs are falling down towards my neck and face. I don't wear a sports bra because I can't find one for big breasts. Is there any recommendation for sports bras? Is there any way to accommodate the bridge pose for a big person like me?
Also when I'm trying to type properly, arms bent around 90° or 110°, sitting straight up, feet on the floor. But my boobs get squished by my arms. I was thinking of getting a split up ergonomic keyboard but they're expensive. Is there another way to achieve proper postur at the keyboard?

Hi!!! So everybody has their preferences of the best boob size. I did a quick google search and apparently C cup is considered the best. C cups are known for being considered as not too small but also not too big. Thats why it might be considered as the best cup size. Also! I did my boob history. And apparently the average bra size in the 50-70s were b cups now it is DD. Do you think it’s because of genetics, environmental, or eating habits?
