A stone on the heart: how women with large breasts suffer in everyday life (14 photos)
While many women want breast augmentation, there are also women who would happily lose the excess volume. Large breasts pose significant challenges. Choosing clothes, driving, and even just walking can be a real challenge for women with large breasts. Find out what those with large breasts have to endure in our article.
While some women dream of larger breasts, others want to make their lives easier by reducing their bust size. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford this due to the high cost of breast reduction surgery.
20-year-old Amber Roach is raising money for breast reduction surgery. Her size 9 bust constantly knocks over pints in pubs and bumps into strangers. The Leeds student will need £5,000 for the reduction procedure, which will make her life easier.
The woman says she can't even shop in small shops and boutiques because her breasts are knocking everything off the shelves. She can't wait for her bust to finally be a normal size.
Amber isn't the only one who suffers from the challenges of having large breasts. Here are stories of other British women who overcome the daily challenges of having large breasts—from the fear of breastfeeding to unwanted attention from strangers.
C cup breasts at age 9
32-year-old Meg Lewis lives with her 3-year-old son in Coventry. She admits that men constantly notice her, and girls want to have the same luxurious breasts. But they can't even imagine the problems and pain her size 11 breasts cause her.
At age 9, Meg was already a C cup breast. Her "girls" continue to grow, despite her periodic weight loss. She has a hard time finding a suitable bra, and those that do cost at least £40. The young mother has suffered from chronic back pain since the age of 14.
The British woman attempted breast reduction surgery three times, but each time, doctors refused to allow her to undergo the procedure for various reasons. She is now medically fit, but the procedure at a private clinic would cost £9,000. Currently, she cannot afford the surgery.
Meg constantly experiences skin irritation under her breasts and indentations from her bra straps on her shoulders. Recently, she has also experienced persistent pain in her hips and knees. The busty British woman takes anti-anxiety medication to cope with anxiety and depression.
During pregnancy, my breasts were larger than my stomach.
24-year-old Leila Christian lives in Leeds and is raising a young son. The worst time for the young mother, who has a size 10 bust, was when she was breastfeeding. She had a lot of milk, which constantly leaked and caused a lot of discomfort.
At 12, she was already wearing a size 3 bra. As a teenager, Leila was often made fun of by her classmates when she ran in gym class. Now, the British woman suffers from constant back pain. Doctors advised her to lose weight, but the extra pounds came off, but her breasts didn't get any lighter.
During pregnancy, Leyla's bust was larger than her belly. After giving birth, her breasts didn't shrink. Breastfeeding was difficult for the young mother, and she feared her son might suffocate.
Men often notice Leyla's curvy figure, but she wants them to see more in her than just her large breasts. Her friends joke that they wish they had busts like hers, but in reality, it's a real challenge.
Feeling Like Suffocation
26-year-old Rachel Fellowes is a mother of two from London. Her breasts continue to grow. Despite the envy of many women, Rachel is tired of carrying such a heavy burden.
The British woman now wears a bra size 11. Her body can't handle the strain, so Rachel frequently visits doctors. She suffers from back pain, and when she sleeps, she fears she'll suffocate under the weight of her breasts. She wears bras with metal underwires that can support the weight of her breasts. She finds it especially uncomfortable in the heat.
When the young mother was pregnant, no one noticed because of her enormous bust. Rachel didn't breastfeed her eldest daughter because she was afraid of suffocating the baby. She nursed her youngest for three months, then stopped for the same reason. The only advantage of having a large breast is that babies use their breasts as pillows.
Wounds on the body
22-year-old Julia Thomas from Buckingham now has two children. Her impressive C-cup breasts cause constant back pain and varicose veins.
The British woman noticed that her bust was larger than other girls' back in school. Physical education lessons were a nightmare for her. Growing up, she never came to love her breasts.
During her pregnancies, Julia developed lower back pain and varicose veins. Her breasts grew larger, and her health worsened. Her skin developed sores due to irritation under her bra. The straps dig into her shoulders, so the young mother goes braless at home to give her body some rest.
Her large breasts attract unwanted attention from strangers. Julia is forced to wear high-necked dresses to avoid being stared at. She advises women against breast augmentation surgery, as large breasts can create significant problems.
23-year-old Senetisiwe Ginindza also suffered from discomfort due to her size 13 bust. Her life only changed for the better after breast reduction surgery.
