My mother recently lost 30 lbs. And her bra size didn't budge. I'm doomed at 34DDDD (and have only 5-10 pounds to lose).

I've officially lost so much boobage that I can't shove my iPod in my bra and expect it to stay there. I'm a 34 b- extra long. Don't even know if they can be tacked back up where they started.

I'm a 32DD and a size 2. Losing weight doesn't always help.
My neck is always hurting from carrying these things around. I hate them.

Ten years after weaning my last child, I am now a 36 Long. :/

I got a reduction and lift. Best thing ever.

I'm not overweight, but even when I did lose weight, it never affected the boob size. Very frustrating.

SO helpful. Tell us, are you a member of the itty bitty titty committee?


Ha!!!

I'm a short size 8 but wear 36 DD or E.

Have thought about breast reduction, but I have a very strong familial risk for cancer and was told that reorganizing breast tissue would make cancer harder to detect.

The surgery and the recovery haven't been that bad at all - I started back at work part time after two weeks. I saw Dr. Scott Spear at Georgetown univ. hospital and highly recommend him. Also for anyone considering a reduction I suggest checking out www.breasthealthonline.com. They have tons of information and you can talk to others who have had an BR and hear about their experiences.



Thanks for the tip! I may check him out.

I'm 5'2 and a 32DD. I look like I could fall forward on my face at any time. Petite clothing is not made for someone like me... Would love to have a pair of Cs or even Bs. Most annoying is what pregnancy has done to them. Good Lord.

I'm just a DD so it's not that bad and with weir loss, they are going down a bit but I likely won't drop much. There are times when I wear a pushup bra or a sports bra when the pressure is so intense that I do feel a choking feeling. My challenge is the difference in breast size. One cup fits perfect but if I adjust the other breast, I end up either pushing it of the top or with a big gap beneath the underwire. If its a hot day and I sweat, the chafing is just insult to injury.

A friend was a 32G or H and a size 6 in the USCG. She told me the tale of having to do Indian runs when you double time to the front, in a Coast Guard issue cotton bra. She had reduction surgery in her early 20s. I think she had to do it twice so while her breasts are still a full C, she is ashamed of them due to the scarring.

Btw ladies, Calmoseptine is AMAZING for those under breast rashes. Available via special order from CVS, just ask the pharmacy. Works wonders on diaper rashes too.

Size 16 is too big


Yes well you size 2 bottle blondes look like you're about 15 years older than you actually are, so whatever.

weight loss means nothing. i have been a size 6-8 for years and my chest is a solid 34G.

i find shopping for clothes depressing. nothing fits right and i feel very top heavy in many styles. i also just feel
constricted carrying around the extra weight.

i've considered the reduction surgery but i am a chicken for going under the knife for elective surgery.
