8 Realities Only Women With Larger Busts Understand

Having worn a DD cup size since my freshman year of high school, I’ve become all too familiar with the attention that comes with it. While some may think it’s all glamorous, let me assure you, it’s often more awkward than alluring. Here are a few truths that only women with larger breasts can relate to:

1. Hugging is an Art Form

With years of experience navigating hugs, I’ve perfected the side-hug technique. Why? Because the thought of my chest squished against someone else’s is less than appealing. Over time, many have opted for a simple wave instead of a hug, which is just fine by me!

2. Exercise? No Jumping Jacks for Me

Sure, I can jog, but don’t expect to see me doing any jumping jacks. The moment things get too bouncy, I’m switching to a brisk walk—nobody needs to see that!

3. Kids and Breast Disclosures

My children are completely unfazed by my larger bust. Just the other day, I had to break up a fight and—oops—one of my breasts made a surprise appearance. My oldest son nonchalantly remarked, “Mom, your shelf is out.” Thanks for the heads-up, kiddo.

4. The Battle of the Bras

Don’t get too excited about my bra collection. While I have plenty of colors, they’re all about support, not sexy lace. I’m all for thick straps and reliable underwire. If it’s labeled “minimizer,” you can bet it’s in my drawer.

5. Fitted Shirts are a Must

My closet is filled with fitted tops—not because I’m trying to attract attention, but to avoid those awkward “Are you pregnant?” questions. A button-down shirt? That’s a recipe for disaster; I can’t see when buttons pop open unless I lean over.

6. Not Feeling Myself

People often assume that I’m flaunting my curves, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I’ve even consulted about breast reduction, but those discussions left me in tears. I would gladly trade some of this attention for a more average size.

7. Cleavage Control

You might wonder why I seem to show a bit of cleavage. The reality is, avoiding it is tough. V-neck shirts tend to look better on me than scoop necks, but I do my best to keep it appropriate, especially at family-friendly events.

8. Breastfeeding Isn’t My Thing

Many assume I’m all for breastfeeding, but when the time came, my breasts transformed in ways I didn’t like. The experience was so overwhelming that I wrapped them up and swore I wouldn’t let them be “functional.”

So, if you ever envied that girl in high school who seemed to flaunt her curves, remember that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. And hey, I’m sure those with a larger backside have their own struggles too!
