| Breasts of a middle-aged woman who has not had children. | These small breasts are widely spaced, have a 'tubular' or tuberous shape, and are narrow at the chest wall. There is little glandular tissue, so unfortunately women with these kind of hypoplastic tubular breasts often have milk supply problems and need to supplement with formula. | She's a young woman of 20 years of age - no children yet. |

| "I am 18 years old, I have had different sized breasts since I was 15. I have learned to accept my breast sizes and come to realize that it really is not that noticable." | A 19-year girl. "I've always been very consious about my breast i always thought they were too big. Growing up in school guys always made comments about them which made me feel even worst." Losing weight caused her breasts to sag more: "i'm not happy about it, but am learning how to accept my breasts new appearance." | A 20-year old: "I was always questioning the normalcy of my breasts. I have always had streachmarks and pores on my breasts since my adolescent years when they gradually expanded. These are my breasts and I am proud of them. This site has also been helpful because I would have never had an outlet to show my breasts in confidence towards helping other women with similar inclinations." |

| "I was a late bloomer, and didn't get my period until I was 15. I was a C cup for a few years - and then I suddenly surged to a DDD.
I have also considered a breast reduction for "fashion" purposes, but since it's a pretty extreme procedure, and I have no back problems, and as I plan to nurse my children someday, I have decided not to do it. The breakout all over my breasts and torso began a year ago when I went off the birth control pill. That has been very dissapointing. I always had clear skin, and this just hasn't gone away. Doc says don't worry about it and that it will eventually clear up. I'm optimistic that my skin will clear up -- if it does, I think I could be proud of my breasts again ...And I think I'd have new perspective on my stretch marks and Montgomery glands ... in retrospect, they were NOTHING compared to the acne ..." |
"I am what would be considered obese.
The mark that you might see in the pic is a tattoo that I'd gotten a few years ago and I have my nipples pierced as well. I'd started out as a b-cup when I was around the age of 10 and I guess I'm lucky b/c I'm only at a 44d now. I'll freely admit that pornography made me think that my breasts were ugly b/c they weren't as perky or as nice but I realize now that they more than likely had to pay for theirs and mine are 100% home grown. :) I have the stetch makes on them to prove it. :)" |
"The gallery has made me feel a little better about my own breasts. Though i still do have some insecurities about them. i feel they are too small for my body size. I have diabetes (type 2) and am over weight. i think they are B cups, i don't know, i never where a bra. and they sag too.
But it does make me sad when i hear that breast at my young age (18) are supposed to be perky. As far as i can remember, i've never had perky breasts. and because of that reason, i would like to submit my own photo to the gallery, to show any teenager that happens to be looking that it's possible for breasts as young as mine to saggy." |

"I don't like American sports bras-- my breasts still move a lot in them. While walking or working out I really like bras that restrict movements in the breasts as much as possible. I don't like bras with underwire-- they kind of hurt and cut into my skin." | The same set of breasts as on the left, but pic taken while lying on back.

| "I'm 19... I've always been happy with what I have. My mom has a set of DDs, and so did my grandmother. The women on my dad's side have big chests also. To be honest I don't want them! My friends think I'm crazy cuz it's supposedly "sexy" to have huge breats, but I'm much happier with my smaller set." | "I just turned 19... I'm a athletic woman. ... During my young years of 15, I had a flat chest and was worried that I would never be a "real woman". But now I'm a size 34C. I have some signs of stretch marks, but its not showable in the picture. Many people think i have implants.. BUT I DO NOT! I now learn to love my breast wheather its big or small." | "I am a 26 year old Black woman. I am 200lb and would be considered obese. I started growing breasts in the 4th grade and feel like
they haven't stopped since! I was in a D cup by 7th grade and DDD by the
time I graduated from high school. I took birth control from age 19-23
which propelled me to the size I am now, a 38H. ... I don't have too many
breast complaints. I am of a hardy stock and only have back aches
occaisonally. The biggest issue is bra shopping which can be like finding a
needle in a haystack and can get expensive.
When I was younger and my body was maturing faster than other girls, I was embarrased by my breasts. ... As I got older I learned to love and appreciate my body. My breasts are a part of me. I'm curvy and beautiful and the twins are part of what make me the woman that I am. I hope this helps someone! Thanks!" |

| "THANK YOU for this wonderful site!!! I wish I had seen this years ago... I always thought I was a complete freak, but thankfully I'm over that phase! My breasts have been "rather pendulous" ever since I can remember, and I have put it down to a lot of things: that one time I forgot my sports bra in gym class, or my mom buying me the "wrong kind" of bra when I was young, or whatever... and yeah, I have lost a lot of sleep over it, dreaming of surgeries and pills and what-have-you, but in recent years I have come to realize that I really love my body and my breasts, and I can't wait to bear children and nurture them with my milk!... I am still quite angry that our society can do so much psychological damage to young girls, though, and it seems we've got our heads wedged about everything to do with women's bodies... so take what you learn from this site and start to be the change you want to see!" | "I'm 18 years old, and I started developing at about 13 years of age. I always felt insecure about my size, especially because my friends had Cs and D cups at an early age. I eventually filled out and now wear a 34B cup. ... I used to want breast implants, but now I know better and I think natural breasts are much nicer." | "I'm 21 years old ... and have never been happy with my breasts. I went from nothing to a B in about a month when I was in 4th grade. By 6th grade I was a C. 7th grade a D. 9th grade a DD. 11th grade a DDD. I've always been so self-conscious of my breasts--I had stretch marks by the time I was 11. I had a breast reduction 7 months ago (supposed to be a C, but have put on some weight so they're now a small D), and I'm truly a new person. While at the beach in Greece this summer, I took my top off and didn't care who saw me! I'm finally proud of my breasts, and I couldn't be happier! ... I obviously have scars now, but they don't bother me one bit--my breasts are perfect in their own imperfect way! " |

| 22-year old, always had an average
build (5'6", 130lbs).
"Some stretch marks remain from the sudden growth of
my breasts when I was 16 or so. Two things I know now that I wish I'd known earlier:
1) My breasts are perfectly normal and perfectly attractive (the documentary 'Breasts' by Meema Spadola was helpful, as is your website). 2) How to properly measure bra size. I went years wearing basically slings for my breasts until I happened upon a different way of measuring (on Oprah's website of all places). I'm so psyched about the support I'm now getting with my new size (34D, formerly wearing a 36C) that I want to tell every woman I meet about it! Thanks!" |
"I'm nineteen, 36C. ... I do think that women are pushed too much towards perfection with their breasts". | 27-year old, with size 38C. "I began developing ... probably around age 11, and my breasts grew so rapidly that they had bright purple stretch marks on them. I was horribly ashamed of them but was too embarrassed to ask anyone about it, not even my mother. I felt so insecure in my body that I used to wear a bra constantly, even to bed. The stretch marks are still there but have faded. I have scars on my nipples from getting them pierced when I was 21. I personally regret getting them pierced because it was painful.
Objectification of women in the media and the love/hate culture surrounding food and marketing has made me feel badly about my body. For example, I feel ashamed of being overweight, and I feel ashamed when I take off my clothes. ... I am trying to learn to love myself, accept myself for who I am, and take better care of myself.

| "My first bra was a 34B I think, months later I was already a C. I threw the stupid bra out and didnt wear one for a long time. I tried to cover up my growing boobs with tight fitting tank tops, but it didnt work. By the time I was 16 I wore bra's daily, none fitting quite right though. To my horror by the time I graduated high school I had grown to atleast an E! I was teased so badly by the boys at school. They called my bra a hammock!" | (same lady as on the left) "Now I'm 24, married to a lovely husband and he adores my big 'pillows'. My breasts have very thin skin and you can see thick blue veins underneath. I have vague stretch marks all over them. They're saggy, they're heavy, they get in my way, but they're mine! At times I wish they'd just disappear, especially when I try to do chores and they're in my way. But, in the end, they're there and I love them. Now I just want to find a bra that fits." |
"I'm 20 years old. .. I'm naturally very slim, though my mother is a 38DD! My left breast is slightly higher on my ribcage than my right, though they are roughly the same size (32A). I've always been unhappy with my small breasts and felt that I'd been short changed... I didn't feel 'womanly'. Combined with your wonderful website, I'm well on the way to feeling better." |

| "I'm 27 and have 36D or sometimes DD breasts. My breasts have always had stretch marks, as I developed very quickly, and they have very light coloured areolas. I have been obsessed with the appearance of my breasts for a couple of years now, thinking that they were so much more saggy than everyone else's and wishing that they were smaller. I had thought many times about getting my breasts reduced, even though I don't have back pain and I really want to breast feed. After seeing your site, I realise how normal my breasts are, and that I can be proud of them and comfortable with them, whatever they look like." | A 20-year old girl who has stretch marks along sides. She has always been slightly overweight and put on quite a bit of weight recently. | A 28-year old woman with PCOS. "I used to really hate my breasts because they are small-ish with large flat nipples, the left nipple noticeably larger than the right, and I always felt they had a sort of floppy appearance. But, over the years I have grown to accept and love them as a part of me- and haven't received any complaints. ;) Your site was very helpful- it's great that there is a place where you can squash all the bull that we've been fed by the media. We're all lovely just the way we are! :-)" |

| This lady has lost a lot of weight but is still overweight (currently 5'4'', 170 lbs.). Breasts are asymmetrical with stretchmarks. "When I was younger, I was very self conscious. I even went to a plastic surgeon (who end up making me feel worse about my appearance, but I opted not to have corrective surgery). Every boyfriend I have had has been very supportive and loving (in reference to my breasts). I have found in my personal experience that men are just as concerned with their imperfections as we are with our own and they know that REAL women's breast are not what is shown on TV, movies, etc." | A 21-year old; "I have lost some weight and my breasts are sagging." | An 18-year old. "Though I've never been considered obese I was, at one time, rather chubby. I've been battling bulimia for the past year and a half. Just like the rest of my body I've always felt that my breasts are unattractive and far from "normal" because of the way they're positioned, their shape and the size of my nipples. ... I'm in the process of accepting my body and learning to love myself. Thank you for creating this wonderful site. It has really helped me put things in to perspective." |

| A 19-year old girl. "I've had big breasts since I was like 11 years old, and they are kind of saggy and low by now-not to mention they are asymmetrical-. A gynecologist wanted to make me undergo on breast reduction surgery and suddenly everyone in my family tried to talk me into it. It made me feel ugly and imperfect, though I like my breasts as they are. No one around me likes them and are still trying to make me have the surgery. I just want to say that I share my point of view with you and this website helped me a lot, so I would like to help other people as well. Thanks for your attention and your efforts in making women feel good about themselves :)" |
An 18-year old. "I lost 20+ lbs last summer, but my breasts have been sagging ever since i can remember. I was always (and still am) kind of embarassed about them because they do not look like the 'typical' 18 year old breasts; they are not perky, they have stretch marks, big areolas, etc. I love your site, and I hope that all the photos on your page can help other girls and women not feel so insecure :)" |

| Age - 26. "I have never been pregnant thus have never breastfed but fully intend to in the future. I am slightly overweight and my breasts have stretch marks all around them from where they grew so quickly. ... your site has helped me enormously in accepting my body the way it is. From the age of 13 when my breasts first began to develop I felt that they were hideous and abnormal because of my flat nipples. ... As I have grown older my nipples do now protrude when cold or aroused but they're still completely flat in their normal state. I even looked into plastic surgery to "correct" them. It is only now that I realise my breasts are perfectly normal and beautiful and I am so angry at the way women are made to feel about their bodies. We are all beautiful and richly varied and should be rejoicing that." | A 34-year old lady, size 36D or E. "I am very active and jog alot and have noticed stretch marks appearing on the tops of my breasts within the past few years. I am also wary of gravity and so I wear a bra most all the time, except for sleeping, swimming and sex. I oil and massage my breasts frequently to keep the stretch marks at bay. ... I do get fine dark hairs around my nipples which I pluck out. I sometimes get ingrown hairs as well. I am also getting small colourless moles on the underside in the crevice, I think caused from blocked pores when I sweat. I have grown to love my breasts and enjoy wearing low tops ... However, I do not enjoy the lewd staring, touching and rude comments I receive, having to constantly wear a bra and boring tops, the discomfort of jogging during menstruational times and the hard to breathe harnesses aka sports bra I wear when exercising. | "I have always felt insecure about my large nipples and shape of my breasts and only since I started reading up on my topic and understand that the western sexualization of breasts is not universal and definitely since your website, I am feeling so much better!! I am 27 years old, 1.64m tall and weigh around 9 stone (58kg). I would say I am average sized, not skinny but not overweight, I am feeling comfortable most of the times. My breasts have always been a bit saggy and my nipples have always been rather large. Also, one is bigger than the other and has a bigger areola. My mother has very large breasts, I wear a 34b and it's a comfortable size. I know my mother never liked her breasts and I am determined to break this circle, so my daughter (if I ever have one) will grow up with a more positive feeling for her body. Since I am swimming, I got a very different feeling for my body and especially my breasts. They feel stronger and more like a part of me, which they are and I will never ever have anybody rediculize them again (including myself). To all the women/girls out there, knowledge is power, knowing about these things helps so much, great sitexxx." |

lbs. I'm skinny on top and full on bottom (32A-27-37) and I'm usually
self-conscious and feeling very out-of-proportion. Thank you for showing a gallery of natural breasts at a time when our media is so censored with huge-breast and implant images. You are helping me begin to appreciate my own breasts more.
I would never take pictures of my breasts before, but I'd like to be a volunteer for your gallery. The more, the merrier!" |
"I'm 19 years old. ... I have really large
nipples [areolas] as you can see, and they make me very uncomfortable. ... I wish mine were smaller and "perky" like other girls. My fiance has no problem with them, and wonders why I do. It's all about the media. ... Your site has helped me a lot. I have been thinking about surgery since I was really young, but never thought I'd go through with it. Now I know there is no reason for it. There are many women who feel the same way as I do, and your site has obviously helped them out a great deal, too. No, I will probably never be happy with my breasts, but I do feel better about them now. They are me, and I might be able to change them with surgery and still be myself, but God made me this way for a reason. I have someone who loves me for who I am and I will NOT let models, actors or any other celebrity for that matter, get me down. They are fake. I'm me, and my breasts are a part of me. Thank you again and God bless!" |
A 23-year old, size 34A. "I've been diagnosed with PCOS. I do tend to grow a small number of hairs around my areolas, which I pluck out. I always oscillate between liking my body and disliking it. This was helpful in spending more time liking my body than not. I've enjoyed having small breasts during various activities such as jogging and sleeping on my stomach; however I do tend to feel less sexy in general. I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful man in my life who loves me for who I am and tells me I am beautiful and sexy all the time." |

My only complaints are they sag a bit and I had a major breast spurt from 9th to 10th grade and it inevitably made stretch marks." | "When I was 14, I was a small C cup, but then I lost quite a bit of weight and have remained a small B cup ever since. I don't like the fact that my areolas take up a large portion of my breasts, I wish I had smaller areolas. But there isn't much I can do, besides surgery (which I won't get), but it makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one out there with large areolas. I never thought that I would ever show anyone my breasts, but if it helps even one girl out there feel normal, then I'm glad. I also have PCOS, but I don't know if that has anything to do with the size of my areolas." | "I'm 19 years old and have never been pregnant. I'm slightly on the over weight side and my breasts started to develop quite early (about 10) so they've never been perky because they are quite large. my left breast is a little smaller than my right. I'm happy with my breasts and their size and shape because they are mine and they are unique to me and girls everywhere should be proud of their breasts and their differences." |

| "My breasts were very small (size 36AA) and I used to wear padded bras and when going out "turkey fillets". I wanted to have larger breasts but didn't want surgery as I knew I wanted to breast feed exclusively if possible. I am a very positive thinking person, so thought on the positive side - small breasts don't cause problems when jogging, back ache, you can wear no bra when it is hot. My breasts increased in size when the milk came in (I was very surprised when I saw myself in the mirror when my daughter was 3 days old - they looked like they had breast implants!!). ... Please use my photos to show women that even small breasts like mine can provide the full amount of milk a baby needs and give so much enjoyment to both mum and baby." |

"I though it is a wonderful idea to have a site that portrays natural and normal breasts, in internet that is saturated with sexually objectified breasts, which again can harm others self-perception. I am 26- years old Northern- European woman, I have never been pregnant and have always been slender build. I used to worry about the small size of my breasts, but that was part of the insecurities that came because of the age and the unfortunate signals from society, of the "ideal feminine shape and its importance" that sensitive girls can pick up. I even thought of breast augmentation, on many occasions. I never thought that I could actually do that, and felt its wrong I should be thinking there is "something wrong" in being small breasted! Nowadays, I like my breasts. I completely accept them, I think they are very pretty too. But most importantly, I just take them part of my body, part of me, like everything else, and I am accepting the way I am an individual with unique features, like everyone else is. It is wonderful that we all come in different shapes and sizes, I have finally been able to enjoy what I am. It is very liberating thought, and I want people who have insecurities to understand that it is achievable when growing as a person instead of going under knive! I have also always has "success" when it comes to opposite sex. Breast size never has been as issue. Femininity and character reaches beyond cup size! :)" |

Dear Normal Breast Gallery, A wonderful site and I only wish it had been available forty years ago when I was growing up. The reader comments are interesting in that many women complain about the inordinate interest that men have in women's breasts. I would only like to point out that for every man that judges a woman by her breasts, there is a woman who first judges a man by his clothes, then his lack of hair, next the car he is driving and lastly the house he owns. We would all do well to spend more time learning about each other beyond the superficial.

I wanted to send a message to other women out there who are self-conscious about their breasts, large or small. Don't be ashamed of what you have; I am a Australian 10A (32A US) size and have gone through the thoughts and feelings that many others on this website have gone through - "why aren't my breasts as big as hers?"
After reading through this website and the honest comments and feelings of other women here, I have realised that I can learn to love what I have (and actually have a supportive group of people around me that I hadn't considered before). Going through the galleries of women who thought they had tiny/ugly breasts I was looking at these photos and thinking to myself, "Tiny? They're bigger than mine and they're gorgeous! She's crazy!"
Ladies, you need to love what you have. Magazines and TV are constantly revolving around digital manipulation and/or artificial breast implants. Whilst a woman might think she'd feel better with these fake alternatives, there really is no healthy gain out of it, confidence-wise or not. Remember, while your breasts may not be what "Hollywood" claims all women should be, it could be a whole lot worse. You could be unfortunate enough to have to have your breasts removed entirely due to breast cancer - but let me just add that there is NOTHING to be ashamed of in that situation. If anything, I salute you for your pain, strength and effort to overcome the battle of breast cancer.
For those of you who think you are too small, they could be smaller! Love them.
For those of you who think you are too large, they could be larger! Love them.I am fortunate to have my soon-to-be husband love me for exactly who I am and gives me confidence in my breast size. I'm pleased to see there are other men out there who aren't afraid to provide that confidence to their partners (and even to those they don't know, right here on this website).
Enjoy them, learn to love them. With the right mentality and the right kind of people surrounding you to love you as you are, the better off this society and you will be.

I came across your website looking for information on inverted nipples. I have to say I am very pleased that this website exists. As a man, I would like to cast my vote for the natural breast - ladies, no matter how big or small or what the shape or size or color is, whether you have unevenly sized breasts or inverted nipples, whether you have large aureoles or small, round or oval, pale, dark, brown, pink, large nipples or small, whatever - natural breasts are a thing of wonder, and any man worth his salt prefers them to be natural. If you want to feel better about yourself, it isn't achieved by putting plastic in your boobs. It's achieved by refusing to let the people around you decide what you should think of yourself and your looks and value. Decide for yourself, and stay natural. I can't tell you how many guys I know who simply won't date a woman who has implants. It's an absolute dealbreaker for a lot of us, believe it or not, and those guys who favor the idea are not thinking with the right head.
Also, no matter what shape, size, color or "configuration" you have, rest assured, there is someone out there who will gaze upon them and see perfection. You are not your breasts, and you don't have to accept what other say, or think, as your self image. Just say NO to "cosmetic surgery". Learn to appreciate yourself and become strong in your self appreciation, regardless of what anyone else thinks. It doesn't matter what they think; it matters what YOU think. The North American (specifically United States) society is getting sicker all the time, with its blind focus on the media's idea of perfect. Shows like America's Top Model don't show you beauty, they show you what the sick and twisted New York model agencies consider USE-able. Same with magazines. So if you don't look like the girls in the magazines and model shows, guess what? YOU'RE NORMAL! Give yourself a hug, and be thankful for that.

I'm a 19 year old boy from Phoenix and I was browsing your site after a friend of mine asked me a bunch of questions and I referred her here.
I was discouraged as I read your q & a to read all these girls so concerned about being too small, when in fact to me, and many other guys, smaller-type breasts can be very attractive! But most importantly, girls need to remember that if they are interested in somebody or wanting somebody who is going to judge them just on the size of their breasts that they aren't looking correctly.
keep up the good work!

I want to thank you for your wonderful website and the pictures of what normal women's breasts look like.
I am a 26 year old with large and extremely sagging breasts, which have been like that for at least the last 10 years. They lie flat on my stomach and the nipples point downwards. For the longest time I have been so ashamed of myself, hating myself for being so ugly and for not being able to be a "real woman" and sexually pleasing from a man's point of view. My self-loathing and lack of confidence has made me miss out on so much of my life, I feel I have lost some of the best years of my life which I can never get back again.
I have never had the confidence to strip off in front of a man, and only much cajoling by my wonderful husband has allowed me to at least be naked in front of him without hiding behind things.
I have thought very often about breast surgery to try and lift them, but knowing that it cannot be done well and without leaving scars, and wishing for a rapid advance in medical capabilities so that I can feel like a proper woman at last, and despairing that it won't happen in my lifetime.
I have spent my adult life feeling like a hideous freak, and that breasts of other women of my age must surely not sag nearly so much, and that I must resemble a woman of 60 years of more, and that I could never ever be thought of as even remotely attractive or normal when naked. All the pictures of breasts that are readily available (porn/tv) are perfect and uplifted and bear very little resemblance to my own, so even knowing that the media is distorting I felt that I was abnormal.
I want to thank you and the brave women whose pictures are here for showing me that there are many other people my age with breasts like mine. I cried as I saw the site, to know that I am not alone. I regret the time that I have lost, hating myself. I hope that as many women as possible can see your site and be reassured, especially young women, so that they may have confidence in themselves and not become brainwashed by the media.
Thank you again.

I cannot thank you enough for your incredible website. Every time I begin to feel ashamed and unhappy about the way my breasts look, I visit your website to remind myself that I am beautiful the way I am. It is inspiring to see all of the beautiful, diverse women on this site and reassuring to know that perky, "perfect" breasts are not the only kinds of breasts that are out there.
I am excited and grateful that your website is fighting to change the public's stereotypes of what breasts should look like and I wish you luck and success. Thank you again!

Thank you very much for your site, its been really helpful and comforting to me! If only it was there earlier, when I was a young girl and had constant worries about my breasts.. But thats okay, thank God I found your site, it really took a huge load off my back knowing that other females are just like me! I'm feeling much better about my breasts now... it will take time to fully accept my body, but I'm certainly getting there! Thank you and thanks to those strong women that posted their pictures!! Really helped!
Thanks and God Bless!!
I could never really understand why my breasts developed the way they are today. When I was 13, I developed into a 40DD, and never had been the same since gym class in middle school. Girls would always tease me by stuffing their bras with toilet paper, and always shout out "Watch out! She might break your neck with those breasts!" It's been horrible on my self-esteem. Now I am 20, and feeling much better about myself after reading this website. There were minor concerns here and there, but after glimpsing through this website, it had answered my concerns, and put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for bringing this to light. I never would've thought that my breasts were indeed "average" (even though they did mature at an early age. Hey, best to live with what you get, right?). So.. Looking back, I do have to laugh a bit. The girls that teased me back then now have had breast enchancements done, and done poorly, I might add. (One poor girl was convinced that basketball-sized breasts are the "Hot" look these days. I still wonder how she gets around without knocking anything over..)
To sum it up. Thank you.Keep up the good word, and I'll help by sending the page to a few of my friends with the same concerns.

I'm 27 year old male, I met an amazing girl 10 months ago. She's constantly worried about her wonderful, beautiful, perfect breasts. I adore them. Please don't worry about what people think about them, for every pair of asymmetrical, slightly sagging breasts, there's an insecure, slightly overweight, fairly hairy, average looking guy like me who's paranoid about the size of his penis.
Love your boobs as much as we do! They deserve it!!!

I was in a very minor auto accident and was hit in the chest with an airbag. I had no idea how common breast injuries are from airbags. This made me hyper-aware of some breast issues. I've always thought mine are ugly and gross. Your web site made me realize they are pretty normal.
I was wondering if you might consider putting something on your web site about airbags and breast injuries. It *really* hurts! ;o) The bruising can cause all kinds of new problems. There are actually quite a few journal articles on this so it must be a common issue.
Great web site!

I am a 24-year old with perky breasts and one is an A cup and the other is a C Cup and they have been that way since I started developing at age 11. They have never been the same size and I have yet to cope, but with this site, even though I haven't seen any like mine, I know there are. That does comfort a little, my boyfriend doesn't want me to get a boob job, they are perfect the way they are.
To all you girls with small breasts, at least you don't have to wear a padded bra with one extra pad, it's double the headache, not being able to wear anything because you are afraid someone might notice and make fun of you.
Thank you for this web site, at least I'm not different. But one question when you are in school and they are teaching sex ed, they should tell girls that there can be more of a slight difference. So there is no feeling of being deformed for lack of info. Why don't they do that? I was told there can be a slight difference.

Thank you so much for this site. It did bring me to tears but it was great to see I wasn't the only one who feels self-conscious about their breast size. I am 27 yrs old with no kids and always wished my breast would grow but till this day I am a 34AA. I have always been naturally thin and it's very hard to put on any weight. My mother has tried her best to make me feel secure about myself and to be proud of who I am but it is extremely hard with Media nowadays. I was anti-cosmetic surgery but every day I get closer and closer to scheduling a consultation with a surgeon. It's just very hard being a 27yr old single female in NYC and being a size 34AA. When I was younger I had hope that people and men would accept me the way I was but when the years keep going by, you start questioning yourself on whether you should consider changing part of your body to feel more secure and confident about yourself. This site is definitely going to make me hold off on the decision of getting implants and I'll try my best to stay strong.

Hello. I'm an artist who likes to draw the nude figure. I get really annoyed that the media image of feminine beauty which is fed to everyone is that a beautiful female has to be thin "perfect" etc. It's drivel. Feminine beauty is in every female. The hairless female body with no stretchmarks does exist ... with the use of photoshop etc. So I am trying to find natural female models of all shapes and sizes to draw and capture their God-given beauty. Only problem is they usually don't have the confidence needed because of the media image. Wish me luck and great site.

I would first off like to say that this site is really awesome. I was just surfing the net when I came across this site I started looking around and it made me feel good to know that my breasts were normal. Since I developed into puberty, I have always been self conscious about my breasts. At the age of 14, I had already a 36c bra cup. So, a lot of people would call me names. Now that I'm 19, I feel more confident about my breasts. I have a wonderful fiance that moved over 1000 miles just to be with me. I thank God everyday for sending me such a wonderful man. He's definitely made my self-esteem higher. :)

Personally, I prefer women with smaller breasts -- perky or normal, it doesn't matter. I'm not one of those "bigger is better" guys. Ironically enough, my wife has D sized breasts, and ones that sag at that.
I don't understand why so many guys care about "big breasts" -- what makes a person special and attractive is their personality, and (not to be obscene, but...) as far as sex goes, it's not the breasts that are primarily involved anyway, right?
I hope that more women can be happy or at least content with their bodies the way they are and stop having breast implants and such. Breast reductions are practical and eliminate back problems in some cases, so they can be practical, but implants (with the exception of reconstructive surgery after a masectomy) are useless IMO.
You can always dress to maximize / emphasize or minimize your breasts. As far as how they look when you're naked; unless you're a nude model, how many people really see you naked, so how much of the time does it really matter if they're big, small, uneven, sag, etc?
Focus on being healthy and happy and finding a relationship with someone who isn't obsessed with any "defects" they may perceive with YOUR breasts... !

I just thought your readers should know that there ARE men out here in the world who love, appreciate and prefer smaller breasted women. Most of us, in fact, don't find larger breasts attractive or desirable. They make women look out of balance. Those women who are less endowed just need to find the man that appreciates what they have and prefers that body configuration. Trust me, we're out here, and we're looking too. It's difficult to find single women with smaller breasts, because, the truth is, most of them are married already.
I just wanted to say THANKS to all the women who are proud of what God gave them and showed off their breasts. I'm 23 and have had two children and am very self-consious of what mine look like even at a 38C with them having a little bit a size difference and the sagging. So thank you for this website and stating that breasts don't have to be big, fake and perky the celebrities and porn stars. So thanks again, you've helped me tremandously!!!

I'm really glad that I found this site. I have always hated my breasts since I blossomed to a B-cup in 5th grade and even now as a 34 DD (I'm 22). Buying bras and tops can be difficult and it's depressing when people notice you only for your chest.
I was considering breast reduction but this site has definitely helped me appreciate my body and not feel like I have a saggy or big chest.
Ladies! Our breasts are beautiful big or small.
I found this site via a search engine. I wish that more people could be aware that "normal" spans a vast range. I am 38 years old. I breastfed all four of my children for at least 2 years, have had large breasts (for my frame...5'1", ranging from 105 pounds (34DD) to my heaviest at term with my third child at 190 pounds (42DD). At this time, I am around 140 pounds with 38 DDD breasts. I would prefer to go braless but camisoles and such don't look good on me and I really don't wish to have my nipples sticking out while talking to a prospective client. I have had some luck with tanks that have some built in support.
I'm beginning to realize that we are being conned into believing that ideal breasts are "perky" and young, when I know that my breasts have served their purpose well... that is, feeding my children, and are even more beautiful now than when I was younger. Thank you all you braver women than I for showing what REAL breasts look like!

I really love what you have done here. For a long time my mind was set on large breasts but as my love and care for my girlfriend grew, size never seemed to bother me anymore. I mean I thought it was nice but it wasn't something I needed or really sought after. Sometimes I wish the things you said could be as easy to eventually deal with when it comes to us males and the continuous fret about our penis size. I don't know why other men worry, if it is because they feel like they must compete. All I know is that I just want to make my girl feel special and I decided that I don't need sex or any of that anymore, I have my art and her beauty to inspire me every last inch of her bountiful beauty. If more people just got up and spoke out like you did here just maybe we could slow down all the lust in the U.S. for a little while. I know everyone says that I am being hard on myself when I say "I am underserving to be in the presence of a woman." But that is how I feel, they can be so accepting and happy with their body if us guys and other people would just shut up and let them be happy and the beautiful women they are. Oh well, I don't with my useless rambling just know I am supportive of how you feel. I just [wish] I wasn't so self-conscious about what I know alot of women say "They say that size doesn't matter to them," but it does to us sometimes. I know there is more to life than our sexual feelings but sometimes that is one of the most distracting and painful feelings I know of.

I am a 22-year old guy and it was good to visit this site. It's important to know that none of us are perfect, and to try to attain physical perfection is vanity, we will all get old and saggy. It is CHARACTER, MORALES, VALUES that are more important than breast size. I am also self-conscious over my small penis, and have never had sex due to my morales and feel like I would never satisfy a woman at times. But I just want love and I know I could please the life partner I will have. Body image affects both men and women, the oversexualization of both sexes, the large-breasted thin women and the big men with rippling muscles and six pack (this image has mostly been propogated through the use of steroids, and breast enlargement and tummy tucks). It is important we teach children about these things, both boys and girls. Boys usually will never talk about body image because men are supposed to be calm and collected at all times, not caring about their bodies, but they do. Those huge men spend ridiculous amounts of time in the gym, sometimes to the detriment of their health and families. It's time to stop believing the unrealistic images the media gives us and to focus on loving and caring for each other.

I love this site. It is about time someone put a site for what real breasts look like without photoshopping the results to look like porn stars of fakies. Thank you.
Melissa Strong
Hey there. I'm 13 (almost 14) and I HATE my breasts. They're so huge. I don't really know what my breast size is because well, I don't know. I don't like looking at them and getting them measured. When I last got them measured though was in Victoria's Secret and they said I was a 34 D. Which is big, especially for my really small frame. But what my problem is, that I'm just scared that there gonna keep growing and they will never stop. I remember when I used to be a 34 b when I was just 12. And I got my period at 10, so aren't they suppose to stop growing four years AFTER your period? I mean that's what I heard. I really don't want to go any bigger than I already am.
But yeah, I'm really REALLY REALLY REALLY EXTREMELY GLAD I came upon this site. Because after seeing everything. It gave me more confidence in liking my breast because I know I'm not alone.
random personHello,
I'm glad the site has helped you. There is a small chance that you might be suffering from a disease of sorts, called juvenile hypertrophy of the breast or "virginal hypertrophy" or "juvenile gigantomastia". They don't know why, but in this condition, for some reason breasts continue growing and growing even past pubertal growth..About the only treatment for that would be a breast reduction surgery... say at 18 or 19 - if they really just continue to grow and grow. Now, they have done the surgery on 13 or 14-year olds with this condition, too, but the problem is, it recurs - the breasts grow even after the surgery in very young girls.
So just keep that in mind in the back burner so to speak... in case they continue to grow and grow into unmanageable sizes.
