i am 13 years old i'm a 32c but i've got a few stretch marks and i feel so embarrassed will you be able to help
I'm 20 years of age, and my bra size is a 28 K. Its now got to the point where i am probably going to have to have a reduction. Although spoke to my GP, and although she said i am the biggest she has sent for a reduction, she is not sure if the NHS will except it due to funding. My back is killing me and finding bra's are getting a joke. I get comments shouted at me from across the street by men, its horrble, people see my breasts before me. I'm so scared that the pannel will reject my referal.
I am really happy for this lady, have a really large 48J cup, and I really want to have a breast reduction done is well, I have back problems, neck problems, the nasty itchy sweating, that I have been suffering from over 10 years now, and t is not getting any better sadly. So I wish this woman all the best, and I hope that I would be next, becuase I am at my wits end with them.

Hey…im 19 and have 36 G breats! i have back pain and breast pain everyday..its become part of life i supose…i know some people wuld love to have my breasts but i despise them..i get unwanted attention and guys just grab them all the time…im lucky in the sense that they are not sagging yet but im really wanting to look into breast reduction…as i am very top heavy..:(
im fifteen and i always feel like im too big, and now i feel like im moaning about nothing.
most of my friends are a b or c cup, and im a dd. i still think im too big, but i dont know if i should be complaining or not. :(
i was 11 years old when my breasts were a size '34DD' and already sagging to my belly button! i'm now 30 and they are a 'non-size' mainly because of the shape! bras are ment for 'b' cup babes, cute and sexy, all they do for bigger sizes is put on a bit more material. therefore for non-saggy girls the nipples face front, but with the saggy-titters, you generally have to fold your breasts in. i want to complain to the brassiere makers, to make bras that REALLY fit my shape, SAGGY! this also goes for the pathetic 'bra size guides' that ask you to messure around your breasts? if like me your nipples hit your pelvis when not wearing a bra, how do you do it? i've taken to messuring laying down, using sellotape or bandages to hold them in place even wearing an old bra! nothing works. i still have to order about 12 different sizes f-h 36-38, before i find one that doesn't pinch or hurt my back due to the non support! even then they don't last 3 months, as they get stretched and the whole process starts again (cos, you may be a size 38-f one month, and then 36-gg the next)!
im 22 and i had a breast reduction 3 months ago. it was the best thing i ever did. i feel so much more confident.i had the vertical scar and they look really good. id look into the vertical / minimal scarring technic if you go for it. good luck xx
I had very large breasts, I will never know how big they were as when I got messured I was politly told – 'we don't sell bras in your size' I always wore bras which were too small as I was so embarased to go to another shop and be told the same thing.
I was in a lot of pain, my posture was terrible.
I took the plunge at 21 and had a reduction, I was very scared but had a lot of support arround me. The week after the opp I was in a lot of pain but all worth it. I can now buy 'fancy bras' from normal shops, stand tall and take part in sports.
I even managed to breast feed my kids!!
It has made such a change to my life, I would go through it all over again as for a few weeks of pain it has given me 7 years of pain free living.
