Most say, if you've got them, flaunt them. But, for those of us who are in the elite club, we do our best to make them look smaller. Every day, there is a constant struggle we have to face. So what you might think is a "blessing," we think of as a CURSE. Here are just a few problems us big-chested girls have to face daily:
1. Bra shopping: You want cute bandeau's or those lacy bralette Victoria’s Secret has? Forget it, it’s out of the question. Our boobs need heavy duty support, big thick two-inch strap kind of support. The chances of going into VS and finding a cute bra in your size is slim. Most of the time the only bras in your size are beige, and you have to order them online. Kiss cute bras goodbye.
2. Working out: First of all, when I work out I have to wear two bras, a normal bra under my sports bra for some sort of support, even then that never works. Do you enjoy running on a treadmill, doing yoga, pushups, anything that deals with jumping, or crunches? Girls with a big bust cannot do these simple everyday exercises. It is absolutely impossible. One time I did an ab circuit and my boobs kept hitting my face. Fun? I think not.
3. Shirt Shopping: Button down shirts do not exist in our wardrobe. The buttons gape open and you look kind of naked. It's like having spinach in your teeth, but it’s your boobs, and everyone keeps staring. I am a petite person in every aspect but my boobs. I cannot find a shirt that fits my boobs and my torso at the same time, if it fits my chest it doesn’t fit anywhere else, and that is plain frustrating.
4. Accessorizing without drawing attention: Bib necklaces are your friends, cross body purses are not. For big busted women necklaces should not hit the bust line, our chest draws enough attention, why would we want to bring more attention to our bust? When looking for necklaces, consider using the chunky necklaces or ones that cover the chest area. Cross-body purses are my favorite, however the strap just pushes into my chest and makes my boobs look awfully funny.
5. Boob sweat: My enemy. Boob sweat is the absolute worst. If it is hot outside and you’re walking anywhere it is almost guaranteed you’ll show up with major boob sweat. Summer is the worst for busty girls.
6. Swimsuit shopping: One word; IMPOSSIBLE. I guarantee you’ll have to go to two separate stores, don’t bother ordering online unless you for sure know it will fit you. I went swimsuit shopping recently for a cruise and I got my bottoms at Target but not one top fit me right, so I had to go over to VS and pay an ungodly price for a top. Yay me. If you have ever found a good swimsuit at one store, please fill me in. Send your girl some love.
Every large busted girl goes through these struggles, I know the women in my family do. Having a large chest is not a bad thing, having a small chest isn’t a bad thing. We are all strong beautiful women, and we all kick ass in our own way. Do I hate having a large chest? Yes I do, sometimes. Would I change it? No, well at least not right now. I am happy being me and I am happy with what I have been blessed with.
