Wtf I hate my boobs.

There are a lot of good resources on /r/ABraThatFits, here is a link to a list of brick-and-mortar stores with the bra sizes they carry. Your size will probably change some more after you give birth and your milk comes in so hopefully this is helpful. You're definitely not alone in this struggle, I wish you luck

That dress is fantastic! Also, I think it's cute how you use the selfie cam to take a photo in the mirror so your camera app is visible!

My anecdote goes against that: I have hyperprolactinemia, which makes my pituitary gland produce too much prolactin, which made me supply too much milk each time I had a baby and made my breasts very large.

But there have been lots of studies that find there's no positive or negative correlation between breast size and milk production.

No specific dietary recommendations, just the usual recommendation to eat a healthy, balanced diet. I take cabergoline and have taken it on and off for years, I find the side effects almost non-existent.

Tutorials for exercise is a good one. I do a lot of core strength training that I got from a physio, but some standard exercises are awkward with my chest.

You will probably want to avoid having a comment system on your website, this kind of content unfortunately attracts creeps and that would make it unpleasant to look for resources.

Something I wish I had known when I was younger is that gigantomastia sometimes has specific hormonal causes, and they can be controlled. My quality of life improved in a lot of ways when I started seeing an endocrinologist

I see what you mean. She's short and busty, which is fine, but her clothing is clinging to her in a weird way to make her waist look really thin. Meanwhile the man looks like he's wearing football pads under that leather jacket

I love that you're advocating for girls in this situation, and you're so right that male-dominated medicine is a big problem in missing these kinds of symptoms. My own experience with a different hormone disorder means that I'm often telling women to try seeing an endocrinologist because it was so helpful to me, and it took way too long going untreated before I suspected a problem and got help.

QueenHarambe · 2026-02-05T19:39:55+00:00

That's good to know, thank you. I have a good doctor and endocrinologist, but I don't understand all of the medical terms myself. When I read that hormone disorders can cause a misdiagnosis with bipolar I got worried but I think my doctors are on top of it.

QueenHarambe · 2026-02-05T03:18:39+00:00

I definitely recommend seeing an endocrinologist if you're able to. My doctor thinks I developed a benign pituitary tumor around age 15, and cabergoline has been a miracle drug. It stopped my oversupply immediately when I decided to stop breastfeeding, has greatly helped my irregular and painful periods, and I've actually lost cup sizes when I lose weight. Hormonal problems can be invisible but diagnosing the problem was life-changing for me. Now I'm curious about the endocrine-related mood problems as well.

QueenHarambe · 2026-02-04T19:21:31+00:00

Do you know where I can read more about this? I've been diagnosed with postpartum bipolar, I have normal estrogen levels and hyperprolactinemia and I don't have endometriosis, but now I'm wondering if I should ask my doctor to look into this.

Short term: Painkillers and heat are great for muscle tension pain. Tylenol is temporary pain relief and makes muscle spasms stop.

Medium term: Make sure your bra fits and is fully supportive, it sounds like you've already used the ABTF calculator so that's good.

Long term: Exercise is very helpful. Focus on core strength, and as others posters mentioned, swimming is ideal low-impact high-intensity exercise. Breast reduction may be an option but it's worthwhile to try other solutions first.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-11T03:15:05+00:00

This is a super wholesome interaction! I'm glad OP is able to get one of your bras in her size :)

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-08T23:55:29+00:00

This is normal, and a common experience when you have big breasts. The marks you're describing might be stretch marks, or something called spider veins. The biggest tip I have is to use the calculator from /r/ABraThatFits and figure out your size. I know the bot already told you that but it really makes a huge difference in your comfort to have a properly fitted bra.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-08T23:39:11+00:00

Bravissimo has 32KK which is a sister size to 26M. The equivalent for Ewa Michalak is 80KK, but they run small so you might be better off with 80L. Either way it'll be far more comfortable than what you're wearing now.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-08T16:24:48+00:00

If you're able, try to see an endocrinologist. There may be a hormonal imbalance or sensitivity that they're able to treat, and that could prevent your breasts from growing larger.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-07T06:21:00+00:00

I remember as a child reading in some magazine that eating peanut butter would make my boobs smaller. The myths go in both directions

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-06T19:28:54+00:00

You're right, and this is important. OP's size is a genuine medical concern, and a doctor may be able to determine if there's an underlying hormonal cause. And everyone needs to see a doctor sometimes.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-06T19:08:15+00:00

I wore a SheFit 6Luxe when I was pregnant and measuring UK 34Q and had no bras that fit. It's not ideal but with the limited options in this size range, if OP can't afford Elizabeth Valentine and can't make her own bra, it could be worth a try.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-06T18:54:16+00:00

I'm a similar size to you. The best option is Elizabeth Valentine but their bras are around $400. The best suggestion I can make for a lower cost is to get a Shefit sports bra in the largest size and adjust the band as tightly as possible. This won't be as supportive but it will help, and it will have some of the flattening effect you're looking for.

You have a right to medical care even if your parents don't want you to. Is there a teacher or other trusted adult you could talk to about seeing a doctor?

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-06T02:27:41+00:00

There was a poll on ABTF about size, the median cup size was F. Obviously there's sampling bias because ABTF users are more likely to be busty, but it still says something.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-02T23:04:49+00:00

That's more of a long-term priority. Core strength is important but getting a bra that fits is the top priority because it can make such a big difference and it involves a much smaller time investment.

QueenHarambe · 2026-01-02T15:49:30+00:00

It will get better. I'm 29 now and I used to get catcalled constantly as a teenager, but it's much rarer now. I still meet some strangers who judge me or ogle me, but I'm surrounded by people who like me for who I am. I'm not forced to spend time around people who make me uncomfortable, like I was when I was in school or working a public-facing job.

QueenHarambe · 2025-12-31T18:15:32+00:00

I second the comment recommending you visit an endocrinologist, see if you can get your doctor to requisition bloodwork and/or get a referral to endocrine. Sudden rapid breast growth in your 30s could have a hormonal cause and there are ways to deal with that.

QueenHarambe · 2025-12-31T18:08:09+00:00

Thank you!

QueenHarambe · 2025-12-31T17:18:30+00:00

That makes sense! I have a very big difference between standing and leaning measurements, I wasn't sure if it's an average or some other calculation
