What It’s Like Living With Very Large Boobs

Every woman has a different story to tell.

Thanks to Amy Sea for her article on using your own boobs as the cover photo, I’ve been brave!

As you can tell from the image above, I have large boobs (and a missing collarbone piercing). It was clear I was going to have a problem when I was in the changing rooms at school during my pre-teen years, and everyone would look at my chest.

“Shamar, you need a bra.”

And downhill it went from there. Every single time I went to get measured, the cup size just went up and up, just like our current inflation rate.

When I was younger, I loved the idea of having big boobs, but the phrase “be careful what you wish for” has never applied better in this scenario.

My large assets come from my auntie, who I don’t know who to thank or cuss. At least I know I’m not the only one struggling.

I want to address what it’s like living with a heavy chest because most people generalise a number of things, and I must suffer in some shape or form.

Let me tell you now that this isn’t true. Every woman has different experiences with their breasts. My friend is a DD cup, but she has many issues with her boobs especially when it comes to clothing.

No, I don’t have back pain

I’m 5"2, but my boobs are quite proportionate to my body as I’ve got a chunky figure. You can tell they are large, but I don’t look like Dolly Parton.

Back pain is most commonly associated with having big boobs because they pull your body forward, and ruin the natural alignment of your spine causing tension in the neck, shoulders, and a burden to life.

I don’t get back pains, I must be one of the lucky ones. Don’t get me wrong, there are other problems, but I’ve carried my chest for 25 years, and my back is fine.

For now.

Yes, I can exercise

Working out is something I was afraid to do until I bit the bullet at 19. I was afraid I would be bouncing everywhere, and everyone would laugh at me.

I spent a fortune on my first sports bra, £40 to be exact, but it was a very good investment.

My anxiety was high during my first few bum and tum classes, but I found there wasn’t much movement that would make me bounce up and down.

The odd stare would come my way when it comes to cardio, but I got used to it in the end. I can understand it, most fit women have tiny pancakes, but here I am with a mountain of breakfast waffles.

I’ve never stopped going to the gym.

Yes, my bras cost a fortune

£40 for my first gym bra. Have the prices gone down since? Nope.

The bigger the cup, the more material, the more money you spend.

It’s not fair really, because plus-size clothing doesn’t cost more than standard-sized clothing. Bigger-sized knickers don’t cost more than standard-size knickers, so why do I have to fork out a good £30 each time?

I’Il never forget when a friend revealed to me her lingerie drawer, and she had about 10–15 bras in all different colors and shapes. I was so jealous!

As time has gone on, there have been many more options for bigger-sized cups with different colors and size, so I don’t feel so missed out anymore. Still costs a bomb though…

No, I can’t swim well

Do you want to hear a short story?

One day, I went swimming with a group of friends. I wasn’t as busty as I am now, so I was able to get away with a black swimsuit. When did we decide to get into the pool, guess who nearly drowned despite years of swimming lessons?

I did. My boobs decided to drag me down and try to kill me.

I made it to the other end of the pool, but my friend overtook me swimming and had to ask if I was okay because I was struggling so badly.

However, I have been swimming since then and I’ve managed just fine. My swimsuit has been exchanged for bikini bras with loads more support so gravity can’t pull them down as much.

No, I don’t get rude comments

Let me clarify this, I used to get comments all the time but mainly when I was a teen.

Before the strangle BBL hype, boobies were a big thing (if you pardon the pun). The boys loved my boobies, and I loved the attention.

One time when I was in university, a boy paid me £5 to motorboat my boobs. Despite everyone watching, I still made £5 that night.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve hidden my boobs more so people can’t make out so much that they’re breakfast waffles. Alongside this, society as a whole has been warned to be more respectful, and keep your negative comments to yourself or you’ll end up social media shamed.

No, I don’t have OnlyFans

You know what, if I was a teenager I would have made an OnlyFans. There wouldn’t be much for me to lose, and the odds of my parents finding out would be very slim because they were none the wiser when it came to social media.

Would I make an OnlyFans now? No. I don’t have anything unique to bring to the table. Big boobs are everywhere now.

Not only that, but I’ve got a lot more to lose. You see the TikToks of people losing their jobs because their manager has found out they have an OnlyFans account.

Can you blame people? There is an economic crisis so people need to make as much as they can. Plus, as long as it’s not related to their job, they can do what they like with their bodies.

Yes, I’ve thought about a reduction

Twice in my life, I’ve been less than 24 hours away from a reduction.

On both of those occasions, the hospital rang me up saying there is a problem with my blood, and the procedure cannot go ahead because I’m at risk of a blood clot.

If that isn’t a sign from the universe telling me to love myself, I don’t know what is.

Getting a breast reduction is a very American thing. I only know two other girls who have been down the reduction journey, one of which backed out and the other? Well, her boobs grew back.

That’s right, just because you have them shrunk doesn’t mean the fat will never return.

And when you get pregnant, and all the milk stores up? It doesn’t mean they will shrink again.

I will get a breast reduction in this life, just when I’ve had all my kids so they don’t have to grow and shrink.

There you have it, that’s my life with my breakfast waffles.

Different women have different stories to tell. My story might even change in the next five years time.

All in all, I’m lucky. Women will go to hell and back and get into debt to get what I have. And getting fake boobs isn’t so easy anymore, a lot more risks have been identified over the past few years leading people to get them removed.

Did you know boob implants are only meant to last a decade? So, if you get implants at 24, you will have to pay again at 33, then 43, and so forth.

You learn something new every day.

Thanks for listening to my perspective :)
