I am flat chested. However, I’m okay with it and you should be, too. In fact, I practically don’t have boobs. I have no clue what it’s like to have a cleavage or to be able to completely fill a bra cup. If I’m wearing a sports bra under my clothing rather than a regular bra, you probably would confuse me with a twelve-year-old boy.
My friends used to joke about how I literally had no boobs, and luckily I have a good sense of humor so it never really bothered me. What does bother me is when someone says in a serious tone “oh my God…you literally have no boobs…” like sweet thanks, I had no idea. Another thing that bothers me is when people automatically assume I have an eating disorder—I don’t, I’m just awkwardly proportioned. Do I wish I had bigger boobs? Sometimes, but then I think about how having no boobs is actually incredible and here's why:
To start, having a flat chest means being able to pull off not wearing a bra ANYWHERE. It’s amazing. You can literally throw on most shirts without having to be uncomfortable. You don’t have to feel like you’re suffocating by the wires of a bra or the tightness of a sports bra. Also, having a flat chest can be helpful when you want to go on a jog around the neighborhood without your back hurting from the weight of boobs or dealing with “boob sweat.”
Without a doubt, being flat chested saves you money. When shopping for a new bra (which is necessary typically only on occasions), you can still go to VS PINK and use their 2 for $40.00 deal rather than spending more money at Victoria’s Secret. Who cares if you’re in high school or college and trying to mall through a posse of middle-schoolers at VS PINK, you’re most likely getting a better deal.
Lastly, having no boobs means you don’t necessarily have to worry about sagging. How come? Because there’s literally nothing to sag without having boobs. Without sagging, you don’t have to worry about stretch marks, bathing suit tops, etc. It’s seriously just great.
Let’s face it, being flat chested is the best. There are many pros that come with having no boobs such as saving money, no boob sweat, no saggy boobs, and the ability to run without having back pain. So yeah, us flat chests may look like we’re twelve, but we definitely got the better half of the sticks--No boobs, no problem. To all the flat chested girls out there: own it, embrace it, and please love it.
