15 Things You'll Know If You're A 'Well Endowed' Girl

From back pain to uncomfortable comments there are certain things only "well endowed" girls will understand. Maybe people like to tell you how lucky you are-- but you don't really agree.

1. The back pain is real

I'm 18 but I have the back problems of an elderly woman. Carrying a backpack or sitting without a backrest quickly becomes excruciating, and don't even think about sleeping on your back or chest.

2. Bra shopping is basically impossible


Arie, Victoria Secret, and even department stores aren't going to work. You have to go to a specialty boutique and hope they have your size-- which they often don't. It's frustrating, exhausting, and several times I've found myself crying in the fitting room after I've tried on every possibility only to find that none fit.

3. If you do find one, it's super expensive

Any bra you find that fits is going to be a minimum of $60, and usually even more than that. So there's a reason we settle for ill-fitting bras, and accept the pain and awkward fit.

4. And always beige or completely lace

People with large chests apparently either want a nude, full coverage bra or something made of lace with zero padding-- at least that's what stores seem to think. I've been trying to find an in-between since I was 15, and have yet to do so.

5. Having to go up a size to accommodate your chest

Anything form-fitting or cropped means going up a size or even two. Because maybe it's not going it fit anywhere else, but at least it won't look like your boobs are trying to escape the fabric of your shirt.

6. The weird comments

There's nothing weirder than your chest coming up in casual conversation, but it happens frequently. Maybe it's meant as a compliment or even just an acknowledgment, but it's still a bizarre thing to hear people talk about.

7. Including those from your mom and grandma

And they have no subtlety.

8. The accidental cleavage

A cute tee-shirt quickly becomes a fight with gravity. High necklines will never actually be high necklines-- your chest will make sure of that.

9. Plunging necklines are a no-go

Given that high necklines can sometimes show off cleavage, it's better to not even look at plunging ones. Yes, it may look cute on the A-cup model, but the moments you put on it becomes a public indecency violation.

10. Same goes for zippers

Any tight jacket with a zipper will never actually be zippered. Maybe it's freezing, but once you get that zipper up it might not come back down.

11. Pain in places you didn't realize boobs could cause

Shoulders pain, neck pain, and rib pain; maybe a well-fitting bra could fix it, but as we've addressed we're too broke for that.

12. The necessity of spaghetti straps

Shirts often need something underneath, and nothing else is going to work except for that spaghetti strap. It's not as cute as a bralette or bandeau you'll never fit into, but it's better than having a fashion mishap.

13. Sports bras aren't a thing

Don't even try.

14. You've thought about getting a reduction

Because sometimes it seems like it would just be easier to lob them off than to deal with them. Ariel Winter did it, right?

15. But, you deal with it

Because as annoying as they are, they're apart of you, and you have no choice but to deal with them. If they weren't there you'd probably complain about that too-- and maybe your back wouldn't hurt, but you'd wish it did.

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
