My Big Breasts and Me on 3e

Catari Jaguar

Documentary on now about the trials and tribulations of big breasted women. It's definitely not all fun and games... I feel your pain girls.

The cost of a breast reduction is a hell of a lot and not enough money and research has gone into improving and refining breast reduction surgery as it's not as glamorous and there can be considerable scaring after one.

I didn't watch the show, but I saw the ad... I can imagine how horrible and painful it must be.

Yes, Thaedydal, they were saying that there can be a reduction in nipple sensation and it can even affect breast feeding.

Girl I know got this done about 4 years ago. her breasts look fantastic now and the scarring is becoming less and less noticeable. (eh...apparently)

Going on people I met in hospital recently after giving birth, having overly large breasts can be an impediment to breastfeeding in and of themselves.

as the not-so-proud-owner of big boobs, i am saving so that one day i can have a reduction.

i've researched it very well and discussed it with my GP, and i feel the benefits outweigh the risks for me

i wont be having kids so the breast-feeding thing isnt an issue

I wouldn't say breast reduction is glamorous at all. Unlike augmentation, it's usually done for health reasons, rather than out of vanity.

As far as I know, in England / Northern Ireland, you can get a free reduction under the NHS if your doctor can certify your breasts are causing you considerable pain (back aches etc).
Not sure if there's any such scheme available in the republic.

I haven't seen the 3E documentary but I'd be interested to see it.
Quite often, people think it's more advantageous or 'better' to be a woman with large breasts, but I think anyone who's experienced them first hand will know that's not always the case.

A friend of mine has got E/F boobs and a 32 back, she complains about lower back pain a lot and of course he friends all wish theirs were her size.

I know she's thought about a reduction a few times but doubt she'll ever actually get it done in case something goes wrong.

I'd never want to be that size. I like mine the way they are - present and correct but small. When you have small ones you never face the issue of them being round your knees after 30, or having backache from carting them round. The bigger ones don't stand up to gravity as easily, no matter how hard you try.

You can wear a push-up bra to take the smaller ones for an outing, but you can't take the big ones off for a rest.

I'm a 32F/FF/G depending on the shop and time of the month but I don't find them particularly problematic or unusually large. To me they are just my breasts and that's what they look like. I am always careful about buying proper bras and obviously certain tops and dresses don't always fit, especially as I am short and have a 26" waist. But to be completely honest I love my breasts and wouldn't trade them for anyone's. (Especially as they are extremely sensitive to touch and I can orgasm pretty strongly through having them played with.)

I know what its like to have enormous boobs from being pregnant. No thanks. No way.

I've watched a fair few surgery shows over the years and when they're doing reductions they never seem to take the same care stiching up after a reduction as they do with someone who's had them enlarged no wonder there's such scaring. I've a friend who has issues with big boobs and she wont get a reduction purly cos of the scars.
