Having large breasts comes with an awful lot of problems. From back pain to hyper-sexualization, I honestly don’t envy the well-endowed.
u/Galvatron6793 recently wondered on Reddit, “Women with big boobs, what are the problems that you face?” and we rounded up the best replies from women themselves.
1. A list
oversexualization, most clothes dont fit right (esp with new fashion and high fashion, everything is made for smaller boobs), stretch marks and whatnot pushed as insecurities by dudes and girls with smaller chests because somehow they expect big boobs to defy gravity and sit like it does in hentai
2. Ouch!
Ran in the wrong bra my boob hit me in the chin making me bite my tongue badly as I was choking on blood I tripped fell and rolled down a hill into the river 😳
3. The look
Noticed this WAYYY more than I needed to. Majority of the guys that I interacted with, AT LEAST ONCE, have taken a quick glance at my chest mid conversation and think they are slick with it. Well…they are NOT.
4. Boob sweat
Boob sweat and it can be uncomfortable if you like to stomach sleep.
5. Clothes
Crumbs, humidititties, finding clothes that fit.
6. Bras suck
Also freaking bras that can lift them are usually not fun to wear all day. Worse one though is sometimes I can’t wear stuff I like because I’m showing too much cleavage.
7. Crumbs
I fuckin gave up with crumbs. I will straight up use my napkin as a bib, and block the access holes for the crumbs. Every fuck time. I don’t care. Yes people stare. But the first blop not on my top is my justification.
8. The $$$
Back pain and the price of bras once you get over a certain size and still want support and comfort.
9. Looking trashy
Looking vulgar in regular clothing.
10. Makes me look fat
Personally, I feel like they make me look way bigger than I actually am and it makes me feel unattractive. Shirts typically don’t fit right unless they are oversized. The button holding my shirt together at the bust looks like it’s going to fly off and take out someone’s eye if I make a wrong move.
11. The shelf
The “boob shelf” when I eat — always catching things or food bits going in my cleavage.
12. bras again!
Bra shopping. Grateful I can sew and adjust my other clothes, but I really don’t want to sew bras… but I may have to. Sigh.
13. Running
I would love to jog more but have to wear a sports bra, 2 tight crops and a high neck top to make sure I’m not in pain/spilling out everywhere
14. Cannot look profesh
Trying to look professional = impossible
15. Laying down
When I lay on my back my boobs fall under my arms.
16. Feels gross
They sit on my stomach. It makes me feel disgusting. Not every women with a big chest is also blessed with them being perky and sitting up right. 9/10 I pinch my own nipples on accident because they sag so bad. P.S. they hurt constantly and that happening doesnt help!
17. Flop!
No one has mentioned the sex flopping! I have held my own boobs before when on my back because their flopping hurt so much.
18. Bras again
Options for bras: expensive and over-engineered, cheap and poorly-fitting, sports bras causing weird smoosh effects. Wireless bras with insufficient shaping/support. I just want a decent shape without spending a fortune or too much effort. It shouldn’t be this frustrating.
19. Fetishized
Some people will fetishise them and view my body as a sexual thing, rather than viewing me as a human. Their behaviour usually reflects that. Some people will talk to them more than they talk to your face, not even hiding their gawking. I can let a small glance slide, but when it’s every 20 seconds? No.
20. Clothes, again
I want to wear a cute shirt but they either don’t button up nicely or they make me look like a massive box! Plus I HATE bra shopping, god that’s depressing.
