Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

When I was younger and going through puberty, I thought having big boobs was going to be the greatest thing ever because I thought it would get me lots of attention and make me feel hot but little did I know that with big boobs came with great responsibility. This mytake is for those who have big boobs or for those who think having big boobs is all fun and games to learn that it’s really not. So here is my rant against my 28L sized boobs.

Expectation: “I would look hot in all my clothes!”

Reality: If you can find clothes that fit you!

My boobs get the final say in what clothes I buy because it’s either I find something that fits my boobs and looks baggy everywhere else or I find something that fits everywhere else and looks like I’m giving everyone a free show. I haven’t worn a button down shirt in years and I can’t button my new cardigan all the way because the top button will pop off and hit someone in the eye. But when you do find something that does fit everywhere, it’s a dream come true! (If you don’t mind people judging you harshly).

Expectation: “I could cover them up when I need to and only flaunt them occasionally”

Reality: No, you’re going to show them off even when you don’t want to!

I can’t wear stuff like tank tops, T-shirts, or anything that’s too tight or has too low of a neckline because you can really see my boobs. Even if they’re covered because a fitting top can still show the size of them and there are times when my shirt slides down and my boobs sneak out of the top and say “Hi everyone!” Which is not something I like because I prefer to dress more conservatively in order to be taken seriously.

Expectation: “They would come in slowly but surely!”

Reality: Nope, they’ll grow like crazy

(Insert same picture here because it works twice)

I was 10 when my boobs started growing and they grew about 2 cup sizes a year, making me the girl with the biggest boobs in class and the other girls ask if I stuffed my bra and when I was 19, they grew 6 cup sizes in a year and they were FINALLY done growing when I was a 20 year old with mixed feelings about her 28L boobs (but at least I’m in college now with girls who have bigger boobs than me (thank God I’m not alone lol).

Expectation: “Finding bras wouldn’t be too hard!”

Reality: I hope you hate money!

I can’t go to the stores like Victoria’s Secret because they don’t carry my size so I have to order my bras online for 50 a piece. And don’t even get me started on the prices for the strapless bras!

Expectation: “I would be so sexy that no man can resist me!”

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

Reality: Sure, if you like creepers!

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

If I had a nickel for every time I had a creeper compliment me on my body of all things, I’d be so rich that I wouldn’t need to use my boobs (that apparently have the power) to snag a rich husband! Guys, it’s tasteless to flirt with a woman by praising her body! Praise her clothes or her personality, not her boobs (or whatever else) unless you’re in the bedroom and having sex!

Also, some dudes aren’t that shallow, some dudes prefer small boobs, and some dudes prefer dudes. So if you’re gonna planning to go under the knife just to get that one guy, you’re just going to be stuck with two watermelons on your chest and that guy not looking twice at you.

Expectation: “Exercising wouldn’t be a problem! I’d just wear a sports bra!”

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

Reality: ...Or two or three or 5000.

I haven’t ran in ten years because I don’t want people staring at my whole my boobs bounce all over the place and throw out my back at the same time. And sports bras do NOT get the job done because they are too flimsy, don’t cover the entire boob, or they will at first until the boobs find a way to free themselves and stretch out the sports bra... Yet another reason why I’d rather stay inside and eat pizza.

Expectation: “They would be so perky!”

P.S. Best Show Ever :)

Reality: Ever heard of gravity?

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

They sag down and make me feel like a grandma because I can’t get away with not wearing a bra because they droop down to my tummy. I would only get complimented on my body if I wear a bra!

Expectation: “You’ll learn to love them!”

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

Reality: Yeah :)

Having Big Boobs: Expectations vs. Reality

My boobs can be a real pain in the ass, but they’re my pain in the ass and I learned how to live with them and how to dress with them. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when I wish they weren’t so big and I wish that I could take them off at the end of the day (my fellow busty girls will feel me), but they’re a part of what makes me feel sexy and a huge (pun intended) part of what makes me... me :)

Thanks for reading and may you and (if you have them) your boobs, big or small, have a great day!

  • Yes I can relate.

  • huge boobs give you back pain I've heard = no fun

    • thats a myth ! even docs agree!! boobs dont cause back pain.. poor posture and obesity does! i know many women with huge boobs nd no backpain.. and i know flat women with backpain!!!

  • Haha I love this. I wanted boobs so bad, until they didn't stop growing at a C cup!

  • 28L? Those aren't boobs. That's an emergency condition.

    • A 28 bandsize is rare... but hey! if thrye natural thats all that counts!! big boobs for the win.

  • Kind of a said statement on society that we look so much as the external that invariably fade and rarely consider what really matters, the heart of the person.

  • Nice MyTake

  • Wow. I'm also surprised that you didn't mention back and shoulder problems

  • Tits are good, bigger tits are better. That's all I need to know.

    • even when they are drooly and grandma like? you guys have a bit of a childish expectation of what big boobs means.

    • @levantine99 No, not when they are "drooly" (I assume you meant droopy?) and grandma-like. That's the exception obviously.

    • more like the norm. gravity is a bitch

    • Show All
  • My boobs a DD cup and are more perkier than flat chicks so I think sagging is genetic. I hate wearing bras so I just let them be free. Then they won’t bother you as much and it works out the tissue.

  • this is kinda funny... but i guess its a love hate relationship. yea having boobs look great, but dealing with it.

  • If they are hurting your body, I've heard of breast reduction surgery.
    That may be an option.

  • Very informative my take. You seem to have a good sense of humour.

  • Cute and funny. If you do have a button pop out, I hope it does with cartoon force and accuracy to hit a the guy with that kind of pick up line in the eye. lmao
    I’m glad you learned to like them. I like big and small ones in different ways.

  • I’m a guy and little did I think I would grow boobs soo big. I’m a 34 C cup. And my god the accuracy. Clothes for guys are so straight like they never take into account the chest area it’s like all guys have pancake tittys to conpanies. I’ll find a nice sweatshirt great but oh wait my bust is just too big in them.
    Then there's comfort with boobs my size there’s always rubbing against fabric it hurts.
    Running? Hurts too.

  • I would like to know how big is a 28L? as I have never seen or heard of (L) in the size can you help me if an A is one inch B is two inch is an L 12 inch woo that's big.. my mum was DD and she was all ways with back ack and feet pain.

  • Funny, but I guess so true! Good luck with your girls.

  • Thanks for educating us

    • on what? none of this is true! this is created by a jealous flat chested woman

    • @Beautybynature I still learned to appreciate women for who they are n not the size of their breasts.

  • Tight tops are sexy but you can not wear them in public.
    Bending down or bowing = race between how quickly i keep my hand on my thirst and how fast people can see whats inside..
    Hugging is bit awkward when you know guys can feel it.

  • Great take. Its true what you said about getting it very quickly. As a man I can relate to some of what you said. The same happened to me during puberty. I got puberty very late. I was flooded with hormones. Everything grew very fast. Nothing you're told can ever prepare you for it.

  • At least I love it.
