I swear, as soon as I get the money, I’m going in for a reduction. After 13 years of being cursed with a D cup I’m finally going to save up enough money to go get a doctor to take me down to a B cup or heck…even an A cup.
Long have I fantasized about this…since middle school when I was the only girl in gym who really had any ‘jugs’ worth talking about. When I looked like Dolly Parton compared to their relatively flat young chests.
I long for the day when I can run down to the mailbox bra-less and not get a black eye (or a sore back from the bouncing). I dream nightly about what it would be like to be able to run about bra-less and not have to worry about the sagging or the stretchmarks.
I know a lot of women say “Gee I wish I had giant boobs like yours…oooh I am SO envious!” They have no idea I envy their small chests as much as they envy my huge one. I did not ask for these ‘melons’…oh no. Thanks to the wonders of human genetics, I inherited them from my mother and grandmother, both D cups themselves (and with my grandmother a DDD now that she is old and they sag to her knees so she needs something that big to contain them).
I would love for once…for once I’d like to go into a store and not have to buy a bra with a cup so big you could use it as either a stewpot or a parasail.
I would like to be small-chested. Yeah…I know in this day and age that’s practically a crime but I don’t care anymore. I want to be boob-less. These ‘knockers’ have caused me nuttin but trouble.
…Although, I kinda like my jugs. I mean, I don’t have to run with them, so they’re a little less hassle - works out well. But yeah, I can relate to the “Holy ____, these bra cups are huge!” thing. And that’s when you can find’em in your size. Ah, the perils of a big bosom.
(Not to mention the issue of horny Dopers asking you for cites when you mention your boobage! )
Cosmo–that’s why I usually end up at…(of all places)Big Lots,a white trash chain that carries TONS of bras in my size thank god.
Kyla–this is the ONE part of my body I have been consistently unhappy with ever since the arrival of the Massive Evil Jugs from Outer Mongolian Space. It’s almost impossible to find a ‘nice’ dress (for the ocassions when I simply must buy them, which is thankfully far and few between) that fits on the top because I have a huge chest and it’s either waaaay to tight on top and fits around the middle and bottom OR looks like a tent on me just so I can find something that fits on top.
I’ll give you a cite if and when I ever allow the monstrosties that lie just below my chin and above my belly button to ever be photographed. Or when my scanner gets working again and I can scan in the tag from my bra.
Big Lots has bras that might actually fit me? A Big Lots just opened here recently, I’ll have to take a look.
Finding a bra the right size AND style has been a major pain. I even went to Lane Bryant to get sized, where I was told I was a cup size bigger (and a band size smaller) than I thought. Amazingly, none of the bras in my ‘actual’ size fit me as well as what I’ve been buying all along. :rolleyes:
IDBB, I hear you, loud and clear. I am a 14E cup (in Australian sizing) and I have to get my bras custom made. It costs me $137 Australian per bra!
This is an unfortunate genetic thing. My grandmother has huge breasts, my cousins have huge breasts (when they were pregnant, their breasts ended up bigger than thier heads!), and I’m huge breasted. Unfortuantely again, we have the hips and bottoms to match, and my waist is three sizes smaller than my hips! Besides getting my bras custom made, I have to get all my pants tailored. So basically, a $75 pair of jeans ends up costing me $160!
I could have gotten a breast reduction three times over with the money I have to spend on clothes!
And I totally hear you about the dresses. The dresses that fit my breasts and butt either look like a circus tent on me, or are so fitted they make me look like a go- go dancer!
You know, IDBB, if you really are serious about reducing the boobage, it’s not that difficult. Takes a bit of hoop-jumping with the insurance company, and normally they have to be able to remove at least a pound from each breast, so it’s definitely for the mammarily challenged. But it might be well worth it. Every woman I know, and I mean every woman I know, who’s gone through it, including my daughter and SIL, only wish they’d done it sooner.
Just don’t let 'em take you down to, as my daughter’s surgeon so tastefully said, “two fried eggs.” :eek:
Muad–I haven’t researched as to whether our current insurance would do breast-reduction surgery as a medical necessity. I’m thinking they wouldn’t but I dunno for sure. It’s worth looking into. And also…for the linkies…ROTFLMAO:D
Blunty–I feel your pain. No really. Right around the small of my back every day.
thi–that’s where I buy mine and granted, they ain’t the prettiest bras in the world. More like old-lady bras is like it but they all seem to have the industrial strength elastic a nd wire and stuff to hold my gals in place.
You just can’t stay away when somebody says ‘boobs’ can you?
