I have a small back and ginormous breasts that I inherited from the lovely women in my family. I appreciate this article as I definitely share a love/hate relationship with the girls. I'm a 34K or 36J depending on who is measuring, so it's a constant struggle for me. I'm still searching for the best bra. Definitely appreciate the article, this conversation needs to be held more often. Thanks. I’m just reading this article and Naeemah sent me the link.

It's very hard to find a bra that fits perfectly...it's a assumed that if you are a DD or higher, you must have a band at 40. I have a few 'cheap' ones ($40-$69...trust me, you don't find any $9.99 specials in this size), but the one that fits me best broke the bank at $250 (ya, I know). ...and don't even let me get started on buying tops, or dresses for that matter...I now buy dresses in plus size and pay extra to have them altered. Head shots are crazy because all you see is breasts, and you end up looking bigger then you are. I've always wanted a reduction...in Canada, if it's a medical necessity, insurance covers it. But because I'm 5'9, I have the frame to carry it. In the end, I've learned to love my breasts. To be honest, they're holding up very well...even I can't help rubbing on them every once and while.

Yes, I too am well endowed. I refused to wear bras w hen I was a 34C in the sixth grade, but now I thank God there are good ones out there. I definitely suggest that every woman get professionally sized and wear her correct size. You will have to spend more for your bras, but it's worth every penny. I have had mixed feeling and sometimes still do. I have gotten a lot of unwanted male attention but I've also gotten some wanted male attention. I did have a friend who had a breast fetish (well, what man doesn't but his was extra!) but he truly helped me recognize that I should embrace my size and love it for the pleasure it can bring to me and [significant] others! So at this staget of the game (in my 40's) I might as well be happy with what I have and enjoy them as badges of feminine voluptuousness. I love this article! Yes, I too am well endowed.

The thing is, I JUST finished looking at a pic of myself and my breasts were TAKING OVER the pic! It was just such a relief almost to read the familiar complaints and problems that I had, were shared. I developed at 12 and I've been self-conscious about my breasts all the time. Finding bras (pretty or otherwise) is hard because sometimes, they don't hold enough or they make my breasts look too pointy (don't you just hate that?). I'm definitely considering breast reduction for a number of reasons like back pain and being too top heavy! This article almost nearly made me cry!!!

I was also frustrated with finding bras that fit appropriately and found a store named " Dorne'" - on Georgia Ave in Silver Spring, MD (for all those who live in the Washington Metropolitan Area) After battling for several years, I opted to have a breast reduction to alleviate the back pain and ugly dents in my shoulders associated with my growing breast. Standing at 5'4", I was relieved to have the reduction but feared going any smaller than a D cup. Three years after my reduction, I have had my first child, successfully breastfed, and only grown to a DD, which I assume will decrease with the baby weight over time.

Hell to the No, it is not easy by any means carrying around what could be deemed as two three month old twins, but with the help of bras geared toward my size( girls, if you are more than a B cup, please leave Vickie Secret alone, get properly fitted and shop a a bra speacialty shop for heaven's sake!) and also getting over the internalizing of OTHER folks ignorance......I embrace them.

I am a G-cup, and I have loved every big-breasted moment. I come from a long line of big breasted women who hated their breasts. Maybe it is because mine didn't come until I was about 15 and I PRAYED for them, but I don't EVER wish they were smaller. Sure, I have dreamed of going braless and that is out of the question, but there are sites that offer cute bras in large sizes, so I push them up and keep it moving. Sure they grab attention, but they pale in comparison to my personality, so they don't interfere with my life at all. I am 28 and married with three boys, and after I am finished having kids, I may get a lift, but I don't want them a gram smaller. So I say love them, squeez them, buy a pretty (large size bra), lift them up, put on a low-cut shirt once in a while, and walk into any room like you own it! How can you not LOVE them???

I've had people cut their eyes at me and give me venom for dressing "normal." Sometimes when I wear dresses or suits people accuse me of dressing too sexy. Please!

I am happy you found comfort in yourself, and other women who have found comfort as well; it is too often that we as people aren't comfortable with ourselves and must deal with all these other uncomfortable people trying to make us more uncomfortable. Damn, it would be nice to just walk around naked, ca. 1400 Native Americans ... we wouldn't have all these physical hangups, that's for sure. As a man I can honestly say free-balling is the way to go. So while we burn bras, let's also burn the boxer briefs. One Love As a man I can’t feel your pain or pleasure (no pun intended).
