Finding Food In Your Bra And 6 Other Big-Breasted Girl Problems

September 20th, 2012 - By Brande Victorian

If you’ve been reading Madame Noire for a little while you might have come across a past post of mine on the joys of popping off my bra at the end of the day and probably deduced that I am in fact a life-long member of the tig ol’ bittay club, i.e. I am well endowed in the breastplate region. I know somewhere an A-cup is rolling her eyes at the sheer thought of this post thinking, “I wish having too big breasts was my problem,” and though I will admit I think the benefits of a large bosom outweigh the drawbacks, I need my DD girls and up to back me up on this one: There are some issues, not necessarily problems, just issues with carrying a small child on top of your rib cage all day long. Let’s look at what they are, shall we?

    Okay so I can soooo relate to my large breasted sistas out there…especially the ones with large breasts and a small waist. Yes button ups are a joke…LOL It’s nice to see that we can come together, laugh, and even share possible remedies for OUR situation.

    I write OUR because apparently at some point, according to one of “B”eingHappyWithMyPeaches’ post, she has been ridiculed for her size and feels the need to address us here. I have not read every single posts on here so I don’t know if someone here offended you, but if they did that’s between you and that person. If by chance no one here has, and that appears to be the case, taking out your dismay on “us” is really counterproductive.

    I think I can speak for all, if not majority, of the women on here when I say you have no “haters” here. Our comments are about our experiences. I am all for freedom of speech, but if you feel slighted then perhaps there is a better forum out there for you other than one that is speaking to women who have naturally large breasts.

  • “B”-ingHappyWithMyPeaches

    I LOVE my breasts (and soooooo does my man!). Two kids in the Game, in my 30′s; they’re STILL firm! When I’m standing up, they look straight ahead. When I’m laying down, they are exalting the heavens….aimed at the very planet Venus. They’re extreeeemmmmely sensitive (my man enjoys substantiating this fact, lemme tell y’all!) If I don’t wear a bra, I feel sorry for y’all if you and YO man happen upon me in an elevator: It WILL look like I’m “feeling kinda nippy or somethin”{!!!} And you will (understandably) hate my fine, petite, naturally long-haired self, as do most insecure females who find out (the “hard” way–all pun intended ;) ) that being a Card-Carrying Member of the “B”itty Committee has more “Perks” than not! (again, all pun intended!!!!) Holla back if you dare!

    • She Speaks

      Why have you felt the need to reply to almost every comment on this thread? Your snarky comments and arrogance is not needed. You repeatedly talk about the problem of sagging, yet you fail to acknowledge that there will come a time where yours will start to sag as well.
      Please try to be more positive and as a woman help to uplift other women…self image issues are rampant.

      • “B”een “B”usy

        I’m replying because I can and it’s so much fun. I could be the Black Mother Teresa of uplifting inspiration. I just appreciate the much-needed laughs I get from doing something that a person (as fine and articulate as I am) can’t often ‘just say’ what I think. Especially with “my people”. Tain’t nothing snarky or arrogant about my self-confidence. I know so many (including you?) have gotten accustomed to thinking in terms of Lack. So long as y’all do that; you’ll find more things to feel you’re lacking in…..like Self Confidence. It’s called “Self” for a reason. The ‘Ugly Duckly’ ain’t got nothin on me! As a child prior to my braces and puberty; it was somewhat another story. Those days are long behind me; as I now find myself (literally) complaining to my folks back home that “too many” men hit on me! I ain’t tryna put nobody on suicide watch. Just speakin on thangs and enjoying the free laughs from the haters. (Not you, by the way)

  • BBBEE25TEE

    Having problem with buttoned/snap buttoned blouse/shirts…I hate that little space created between the buttons because your breast are too big or having to buy blouses/shirts a size bigger. I actually don’t mind when people ask me to send some over to them or if they can I have some..If I could I would give them some. LMAO @the crumbs..I can definitely relate.

  • Miss D

    I thought I had it bad with my 38DDs, lol. I am active and I don’t like having my breasts weigh me down. I ALWAYS wear two bras when I work out, otherwise my girls will be all over the place. I’m losing weight and I hope these boobs go away!

    • “B”eingHappyWithMyPeaches

      They may, but I’d be ‘googling’ how to prevent the notable sagging that such entails!

  • luckystar393

    the worst thing for me is trying to find a cute bra or bathing suit. Im only 19 so naturally i want the cute teeny bopper styles like polka dots, spirals, bright colors, etc. but since ive had triple Ds since i was 15, i had to deal with the granny bras and one pieces while the itty bitty ti**y committee gets the cute stuff

    I’ve been reading MN for a while now but this article is the only article that has spoken to my SOUL!!! lol Especially the one about the price of bras. I’ve always talked about wanting a breast reduction in the future but when i recently found out that I’ve been wearing the wrong bra size I’m definitely all in for a reduction for the sole purpose of the fact that I CAN’T AFFORD THESE THINGS! and not to mention that it’s hard to find the bras in my “new” size unless it’s on the internet and what I did find was straight grandma bras. In the words of Tamar Braxton “That ain’t hot!” lol

  • reshear

    Ha i loved this article. I am a 38 G cup, and no im not a big girl so mine really stand out and while they have their benefits, they have their downsides. I remember when i was a college freshman and i was walking around campus once & i heard ” danggggg look out how big her breast are” I turned around to find a group of females staring and gawking! Its not just a guy thing. Its hard out here for a big breasted girl and finding a bra is no joke! i have to go get mine either special ordered or find them online….. smaller breasted girls dont know how lucky they are ! I hate that i cant shop for my bras in normal stores… i feel like the kid with the special shoe lol….

    • “B”eingHappyWithMyPeaches

      I empathize with your plight. Society as totally objectified large mammary glands to the point of obsession. I hate it for you that you have to purchase brassiers at Specialty shops and pay 3 to 4 times as much as “Lil” Ol’ Me! When you say ‘downsides’, I guess a part of Me is as guilty as your college associates—-for I must admit I DO wonder whether or not your nipples are looking down at the floor yet. Gravity is not your friend. A million-dollar bra can’t even reverse THAT unfortunate fact. Keep your head up (best you can, that is). God makes no mistakes. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and if it’s your purpose to carry this load, God will give you the strength!

      • Resheart

        I know you meant no harm, but make no mistake sweetie these things have not been effective by gravity at all. I am almost constantly asked if they’re fake because they’re so perky. I just buy good bras to keep them that way. That ” all big breast are saggy” myth is just that a MYTH that smaller chested females tell themselves to make them feel better.

        • “B”een “B”usy

          Let’s see what’s good after a pregnancy or 2. I lucked out. Will you?

  • lilMissAcup

    wahh wahh wahhh, really ladies? when has having big boobs ever NOT been awesome? sorry no sympathy here…..

  • beevb

    Let’s see…… the giant uniboob with a sports bra…. the lines on my shoulders and stomach from the bras rubbing….. the bug zapper effect when a poor unsuspecting bug flies down there and get stuck and smashed, yuck!…. the conversations with the top of an average size man’s head (did I forget the mention I’m tall too) when he’s staring at my cleavage…. and last but not least the ‘you a big ole fine tall woman umph, upmh, upmh comments. Get you outta here!!!!!

    • “B”eingHappyWithMyPeaches

      ROTFL @ ” ‘you a big ole fine tall woman umph, upmh, upmh comments”!!!! Po’ Thang!

  • AV

    I happen to be one of the smaller ladies with back pain and big boobs, no fun. Love my girls though, my doctor told me I shouldn’t get a reduction anyways…and a friend of mine had a reduction, they grew back in a matter of months smh.

  • Tishy

    Preaching to the choir honey!!! During dinner I excuse myself to go to the bathroom if stuff is collected in the chesticles

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/thesapphireempress96?feature=results_main A.J.

    Some of my biggest issues are 1.) People wondering if they’re real but not having the nerve to ask. (Yes, they’re real; notice how they don’t stay stationary when i move around, unlike someone else’s) and 2.) people getting all up in your business because you like showing (tasteful) cleavage. Just because they’re huge doesn’t mean that I should have to strap them down all the time. As long as they’re not spilling over, we’re good. This article had me crying and nodding my head in agreement at the same time. I am a very proud member of the well-endowed club, and I could relate to all of these. The bra is the worst invention EVER, but we don’t have the luxury of going around without one. But I wouldn’t trade my girls for anything.

    My whole life I have been a stick figure, then I developed, had large breasts, but small frame, ended up looking like the letter “P”. Still do. It’s hard finding skinny girl clothes with huge knockers. But 99% of the skinny girl clothes are meant for skinny girls with no boobs. So I go for the medium clothes but they end up being baggy. *Sigh*

    • karmell

      yes, yes and yes! I’m a frickin f cup, and a size 4. I wear lots of tanks and cardigans, don’t even own a button down, cause it’s just not gonna work. and trying to find a bathing suit that fits and does not rival my car payment? yeah, it’s hard.

    • “B”eingHappyWithMyPeaches

      Nothing a tailor can’t remedy, ya know….

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JAI4SRENU2A5WKRTELXXYJPDSI Kayla

        Gets expensive to taylor ALL my clothes. I just shop extra careful.

  • Sweet_yams

    Finding swimsuits should have been added. I can never find a nice two piece bathing suits thats supportive and stylish…Im alwasy stuck looking at the old grandma one piece bathing suites :(

  • Ann

    Is is a challenge having large breasts. Like Brande says, my bras are more expensive and it is a challenge to find very nice bras besides the basic colors, of white, beige, and black. It has been a headache for me having large breasts. I wish I was at least a cup size smaller. If I had the money, I would get a breast reduction done. Having large breast had done nothing for me. I don’t understand why some women want to have surgery to have extra large breasts, I don’t think some of them realize the expense that is involve with wanting to have extra large breasts. I can cause health problems such as back pain.

  • She Speaks

    Being a 30/32 F is the worst thing that could have happened to me. $40 bra? Where do they have those?!?! I have to pay $60-110 for bras from Nordstrom and sometimes have them altered (additional cost) or order them online from UK shops like Fig Leaves or Bravissimo. The one sports bra I was able to buy from Nordstrom in my size doesn’t work well so there went $80. I’ve just started wearing a bra under a Forever21 sports bra and numerous big shirts.
    I think my biggest issue is clothing that includes the “padding” or “shelf bra” inside…mannnnnn, those definitely make me look goofy! and I absolutely abhor STRAPLESS BRAS. Omg I wish I could find one that didn’t make my breasts look saggy, cut me, or leave an imprint so I could wear all those cute dresses or halter tops etc.
    For those ladies that live in NY, check out Linda the Bra Lady.

    • Leloyd

      Bahaha tell me about it. At a34 G under $60 isn’t gonna happen

    • http://twitter.com/MizzJazzyPeach J Mc

      I just recently found out I’m a 50G and I HATE IT! all this time i’ve been shopping at lane bryant buying 44DD thinking I’m not a statistic, WRONG! Just buying those bras was expensive now I have to buy bras that are even MORE expensive! Something’s got to give, preferably my breast size lol!
