"I just wish my boobs were bigger" is a statement that slightly infuriates me. While I do see the point of view that my friends have when they say this, I always respond by telling them that bigger boobs aren't all that they are cracked up to be. I even like to joke that they can take some of mine. In the end, while having big boobs comes with some struggles, they are part of my body and I would never want to change them.
1. You had to skip the whole "training bra" stage and go straight to the normal bra.
For me at least, I had to go straight to an A cup in the 4th grade. Yes that's right, they came in during elementary school. While other girls could enjoy the easy braless years that lasted through middle school, mine were cut short.
2. Being able to have a button-up shirt that actually buttons up is nearly impossible.
The makers of button-up shirts forget that girls with bigger breasts might want to wear them too. I have not found a button-up shirt that doesn't cause an awkward gap in the middle between the buttons. Hopefully one day they will invent a button-up shirt that will be big enough around the breast area to not have this problem.
3. All you want to do is not wear a bra, but you don't want saggy boobs.
Until the day that saggy boobs are in style, a bra is going to be a necessity for girls with bigger breasts.
4. Finding a bralette that actually fits is a miracle.
My friends always laugh that I have to wear a regular bra under my halter bralette, but I do not have a choice. Without some sort of support, they will look terrible. That is why investing in a bralette from Victoria's Secret that has actual padding is wonderful.
5. Getting an accidental elbow to the boob happens on the regular.
Especially when you are in larger crowds, getting elbowed in the boob is bound to happen. It definitely does not feel good and most of the time the person doesn't even realize they bumped you.
6. One sports bra does not make the cut.
Unless you are wearing one of the expensive ones with actual support, normal sports bras just aren't enough. This is especially a struggle when you are trying to run at the gym, because the boobs keep trying to go in other directions. Guys may think it is sexy, but it hurts like crazy.
7. You end up slouching in order to compensate for them.
Bigger boobs can get super heavy, so it is natural to end up slouching. It is literally a lot of weight on your chest and you have to compensate for that some how.
8. Not showing cleavage is a very difficult job.
While there is nothing wrong with showing a little cleavage, it is not always appropriate. For things like church or a job interview, it can be hard to cover those things up.
9. Lying on your stomach is out of the question.
As if having someone accidently bumping a boob hurts enough, having the full weight of your entire body on them hurts even more.
10. Food always seems to land on them.
I am famous for having food stains on my shirt right around the boob area. Since the food can't clear your boobs to land on the napkin in your lap, the shirt you are wearing takes it.
