Having big boobs can have its perks every now and then, but (more often than not) they’re a total inconvenience. Things such as finding a sports bra that actually works and trying to wear a flowy shirt without looking pregnant are nearly impossible. To all the ladies out there with D’s and above, I’m sure you can relate to the following: (bless you!)
1. “I just got the cutest string bikini”… said no girl with big boobs ever.
Bathing suit season comes along and all girls go wild… ranting and raving while Instagraming all of the amazing deals they got on the cutest new bathing suits. That simply isn’t the case for us. The only bathing suits that we can wear without looking like the next Playboy centerfold are the underwire ones with the extra pads removed…
2. Running becomes hazardous.
You see the bus pulling away, but you think you can catch it…? Guess again! Those boobies are going to do their best to keep you back and it’s going to take a hell of a fight to defeat them. Whether this means publicly strapping them down with your hands or allowing them to smack you in the face, chances are you will miss that bus. The struggle is real.
3. Backless dresses and shirts with strappy backs will never be an option.
Recently there has been a backless (aka: bra-less) craze. These shirts and dresses are so fashion forward and we admire everyone wearing them. When we try them on we look nothing short of a beluga whale. Basically, we may as well not even waste our time trying these styles on.
4. Wearing a tank top = turning into a living basketball net.
We ALL have experienced this before. Your tatas have become the new destination for the crunched up straw wrapper. It’s always quite the task to retrieve the little ball too.
5. You look promiscuous in a turtleneck.
There aren’t many things that you can wear that will naturally give you that “good girl” look. While friends are buying bombshell bras and learning every trick in the book to enhance their chest, you’re trying to hide the fact that you even have one. You like a plaid shirt? Better buy a large, otherwise good luck getting it buttoned all the way to the top.
