Normal Breasts Photo Gallery, part 2 - pictures of different size and shape breasts.

Have you seen pictures of normal non-sexual breasts?

A huge proportion of American women are not happy with their breasts. The media images make them believe the ideal is big and perky breasts with a small nipple and areola.

But, in reality female breasts come in all kinds of sizes and shapes. These breast pictures are here to let you see normal breasts - big, small, sagging, asymmetrical; big areolas or nipples.

In fact, having asymmetrical breasts, where one is bigger than the other, is very very common. Most women have one breast slightly larger than the other. Sagging is very common also, because due to gravity, the breast naturally assumes a hanging position.

Also as we all know, size varies a lot. Some women have practically a flat chest, some have small breasts, some have much bust that the mere weight of them can cause them backaches. according to the bra industry, the most common bra cup size in the US used to be B, but has now become C probably due to the increasing obesity. Of course, the size is not constant but varies with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and during the menstrual cycle.

Many young people growing up never see what normal natural breasts look like, and influenced by the media, think that pert big breasts are ideal. Many end up opting for breast implants to "correct" their breasts — when their breasts were normal all the time!

In fact, MOST teenage girls worry and fret over their breast development, some even to the point of suicide — which is a very sad comment on how American culture is influencing young people.

Normal Breasts Gallery, part 2 Women who have not been pregnant These pictures include women of Anglo-/Teutonic European, Semitic, N. Mediterranean, and N. East Asian, Native American, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and mixed descent who come from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. But we are hoping for more volunteers, to show an even wider variety. The main point is: there is enormous variation in what is normal. Sizes and shapes vary enormously. So don't worry, ladies!

"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. :)"	"Age: 26. For a while I was pretty self conscious about sagging and areola size, but after seeing what normal breasts look like (from your website) I feel more confident about the size and shape of my breasts. During my teens I suffered from severe acne problems around the top of my chest area, and still have some dark spots from it."


A 28-year old woman, with slight asymmetry (which is so common and normal!). Also some stretch marks (not visible on the pic).	A 23-year old, size 36B. "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. "...breasts can be sloshy and are indeed affected by gravity!"



"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. "

Bra that does not fit
"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."



A 19-year old girl. "I think the distance between my breasts is too long and they are not full enough. So, I start to massage them every day to make it look better and at least to maintain good health for my breasts."	"I am 18 years old. I am currently a 36B, at 5'6" and 130lbs. I've always felt my breasts were on the small side, but I've recently come to realize that they are a proportional size for my body- I'd been comparing myself to my mother and older sister, who are a DD and D, respectively, for years without taking the time to consider how different my body type is from theirs. I also started taking birth control pills recently, which has made them significantly fuller though it has also given me more marked Montgomery glands (visible in photo). My left breast is slightly larger and at more of a downward angle, but this site has helped to show me that this is a fairly common condition."	"As a teenager and into my 20s I was very skinny and had a rickety looking chest (more bone than fat!). ... I am now 39 with a normal body weight (127 lbs and 5'6) but am still self-conscious about my breasts. I often wonder how different my life/relationships would have been had I been aware that so-called 'normal breasts' don't exist and should not dictate one's sense of self-worth as a romantic partner. A quick glance at the innumerable glamour magazines and celebrity rags will tell you that unfortunately, the myth is still, sadly, being reinforced to today's youth. Thank you for this reaffirming, myth-ending website."


"I stumbled across your website, and cannot tell you how relieved I have become as a result. After seeing so many idealised pictures of breasts in magazines and on the Internet, it is reassuring to know that the majority of women - like myself - have far from perfect breasts. I am 23, and never been pregnant. I have lost about 50lbs in the past 18 months, and as a result by bust was reduced from a 36C to a 34A/B. My breasts have sagged a lot from loosing weight, and I also have stretch marks. My right breast is slightly more perk than my left, which sags downwards. Thank you for this website - I think the time has come now for me to accept my breasts as my own, unique breasts, rather than constantly comparing them to the 'perfect' breasts the media inundates us with."	"I'm 18 years old. Never been pregnant. I've lost over 20 pounds recently... I have very faded stretch marks (I developed very fast)... "	"19 years old - Asian. .. I am skinny (107 lbs - 5 ft 3). My bra size is between AA and A. Sometimes I am embarrassed because my breasts are small, almost flat. I convince myself that people love me for what I really am, not how my breasts look."


"Age 23, Chinese, never been pregnant, weigh around 97 pounds at 4'11". Left breast is slightly bigger than right one as its always been. I usually wear 34A but also fit 34B, depends on bra. My breasts have been the same size since I first developed them in high school. There are times I've wished my breasts were bigger so I fill out some clothes better and also that my nipples would both point forward instead of opposite sides but generally I have always been happy with the way my breasts are."	"I am a 21 year old white european who has always been quite active and slender. I have never been pregnant, and rarely wear a bra. My family does not get much in the way of sagging breasts- my mum is only a few inches lower then I am now, having had me and breastfed me for at least a year. Being a brit there is slightly less of a breast taboo so I have seen more natural breasts then many americans, and with my parents being quite hippyish and wandering around nude my body image was pretty good until the normal insecurities or teenagerhood were made worse by being bullied. I was a AA cup until about 15 when I sprouted up to a 34C within about 6 months. I was bullied badly over everything about me- mainly people saying I looked like a boy, which hit my fragile teenage self-esteem pretty hard. I still see myself as that skinny, stooping small breasted girl and the teasing I got left me with issues over my breasts until very recently, when I realised they are merely a small part of my figure as a whole and that I am VERY attractive to people. Please, I want to say to other young women who may be where I was- DON'T WORRY. Soon you will find someone who loves you and fancies you like mad."	18 years old, a very thin girl, weighing about 95 pounds.


"Hi. I'm turning 19 in 2 months. I'm considered skinny (5'4", 117lbs), at least on top; I'm fuller at bottom. ... I've never found the perfect bra. I used to be extremely unhappy with my breasts, for a really long time, because I thought they were too small and unattractive. I was even thinking about taking the pills, though I was not sexually active, because I heard breasts would grow because of the hormones. I'm happy that I did not. I'm learning to accept my breasts, and my body in general. It's unfortunate that our natural beauty is, too often, not appreciated, be it in the family or in the society. Thank you for your wonderful and empowering website."	"23, never pregnant. I was always overweight, but lost about 40 lbs when I was 12 and for years I swore that this was the reason my breasts were so small (they were always a C cup but I thought that was too small for my big frame). Today, thanks to appreciation from the world and one guy in particular, as well as the lovely sharing on this website, I am loving my breasts. Thank you for this website!!"	"I am 19 years old and I've never been pregnant. I have a pretty petite frame...5'1 and 105 pounds. This site has made me feel better because now I've seen that the large areolas that I've been unhappy with are more normal than I thought. Thankyou!"


"I am 18 years old. Never been pregnant. I am about average weight."	"I am 18 years old. ... I am not over weight or extremly skinny either I'm about normal."	"I am 22 years old, black american, skinny (5'9 137lbs) and I've never been pregnant. Seeing my mom's 38DD, I jokingly say to myself 'I didn't luck out.' I am a 34C, and I've always felt that my nipples were too big for my breasts. I've noticed that my breasts swell before my period starts; I really enjoy that fullness! I wish I had bigger breasts and smaller nipples, but I appreciate the honesty and goal of your site to dispell misconceptions about breasts. Maybe once I get pregnant, my breasts will grow, but by then, I may not want big ones anymore!"


"I am 23 years old and my boobs have a definate sag. I live in Australia and all guys worship great 'tits'. I have lost weight and now, as a result, have sagging boobs. Although I miss my 'perky' boobs I would rather be healthy and the correct weight than be overweight and not have saggy boobs. They are nice in their own way. Thanks for your site. It's a huge confidence boost. I know i'm not alone."	"I am very happy about my breast size. Although I have a B cup, which is thought to be too small, I would not want them to be larger. I do not understand this mania of breast enlargement. I think that larger breasts would make me feel uncomfortable. They used to be a bit smaller before I started taking birth control pills. Now I have had a few moments when I thought that maybe they are too saggy etc. Like they hang down when I bow. I think they hold a bit differently than normal- more to the sides, they are more apart. That's why it is hard to find a bra- although they are small, they bulge out from the bra on the sides. I am 21 and my breasts started developing at the age of 11 already. I have not been pregnant."	"I am 19 years old, 36C depending on the bra. ... I am considered overweight, though I'd say I'm pretty average. I was the Cheerleading captain in high school, but I was never really skinny or overly athletic. I do have fairly noticeable stretch marks on my breasts and my left one is slightly bigger. I started developing when I was 9, I was an A cup. I have thought about implants because I see all these perfect models with full, round, perky, breasts and society tells us that were not beautiful if we don't look like that. My boyfriend has told me time and time again that he loves my natural breasts and he wouldn't want them any different. I'm amazed at how normal my breasts really are, I honestly believed that most women had 'porn star' boobs. Thanks to your site I know that isn't true. I wish America could open it's eyes and see that women are not blond haired, blue eyed, perky breasted, skinny, Barbie dolls. Women have lopsided breasts, stretch marks, cellulite, tummy pouches, thick thighs, bushy eyebrows, wrinkles, and everything else. And we are all still BEAUTIFUL no matter what the media tells us. - Spread the word, it's empowering."


"I am Half African American and half Japanese woman who is 23 years old. I have never been pregnant. I am 5'8" and 155lbs. I have always been quite athletic but stopped since I was bombarded with studying in college. Now that I have graduated I have starting lifting weights again. I truly believe at good diet, exercise, and hobbies will make you feel very happy with your breast as well as your mind and body."	"I am 21 years old and have never been pregnant. One of my breasts is larger than the other, and they are somewhat asymmetrical. I am 5'1" tall and weigh about 110 pounds. "	"I am 32 years old. I have never been pregnant before, but have been trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant for almost two years. I have assymetrical breasts. I like the right one, because it is rounder...the left one is less round, smaller, and points downward. I like being smaller chested, and actually wish I was a bit flatter, instead of feeling saggy and assymetrical. I was breastfed and plan on breastfeeding my children if I am lucky enough to have any. "


"I am 27 years old, never been pregnant. At 5'7", 275 lbs., I am obese. My weight has always fluctuated, but my breasts have been large and pendulous for as long as I can remember. In this picture my bra size is 44DD/DDD. I have prominent Montgomery glands, and until I found your site, I was convinced I was a hideous freak. Now I know I am completely normal! No matter what bra or dress size I have worn, for me, my breasts have always defined my femininity. My favorite thing about them is that they are a source of comfort. I love being able to offer a man or a child comfort on a physical (because they're soft!) and primal level. This site and all the amazing volunteers have given me back some of my woman power. Ladies, THANK YOU!"	"I am 18 years old and have always been on the petite side as far as my bone structure and weight (5'5", 115 lbs). I have always been very self-conscious of my breasts and felt they were too small even though I wear a size 34C, and I am very self-conscious of my nipples. However, in spite of all of my insecurities, my boyfriend thinks they are perfect which only shows that all the attention I pay to imperfections is useless, since the only person who even sees my breasts besides myself thinks they're great."	"i'm 20 years old and never been pregnant. i'm very athletic and have always been very happy with my very small brests. I almost never had to wear a bra and they never get in the way!"


"Always thought they were a little on the small side, and wished they'd be rounder and perhaps more full, but lately I've come to terms with them and am quite pleased. "	"I am 21 and have never been pregnant. I am submitting my picture, weird as it seems to me, because I believe your site is important, particularly the photo gallery. I am not a feminist but I believe men and women need to understand that breasts rarely sit high on the chest when you get above a B cup. I wear a 32D, sometimes a 34C. I have a very petite figure, so my breasts look even bigger than they are. I also already have some drooping. My areola are very large. If my breasts grow after I have kids, I might get a reduction. Overall, I think they're okay, just too big for my liking."	"I am a 20 year old African American female. I have stretch marks on the the outer sides of my breast. I am considered overweight although to most I will be considered chubby. My right breast is slightly larger than the left. I've always been worried about the shape and having large areolas."


"I am 19 years old. I've never been pregnant. I have never had a problem with my breasts until I turned 18 questioned their small size and if it was normal. I've always been a healthy weight. I was a large 34a cup when I was 18 years old. Now, a year in a half later I fit into most 34b cup bra's. I don't think they will get much bigger, unless something changes after I have children. Some days I love my breasts, and other days I absolutely hate their small size."	"I am 20 years old, never been pregnant, 5'1', weigh 93lbs, and fit in a 32D. This is what real 32Ds look like. Not porn star boobs. I have always been very thin and athletic, it runs in my family. I was a late bloomer, got my period at 15, and at 17 I had 32Bs. They grew significantly within 1.5 years. One is more round at the bottom than the other. My peirced breast used to be smaller than my unpeirced one, but the peircing stimulated breast tissue growth. It outgrew my larger breast and then shrank. They are now the same size."	"I am 18yrs old and I have never been pregnant. My weight has been fluctuating on and off, but right now I'm at a normal weight. I have always had small breasts (36A), but they recently have started to grow a little bit, which is nice. I've always been self-concious about them, but I'd rather have them be too small than too big."


"I am 24 years old and weigh about 125 pounds. I have never had surgery on my breasts or been pregnant. My breasts grew very quickly; I have been wearing a 34DD since I was 14 years old. I have rather noticeable white stretch marks on the tops of my breasts. My breasts have always been a bit saggy."	"I am 22 years old, 5'3" tall and my weight has been between 100 and 110 pounds over the last several years. I have never been pregnant. I have never thought my boobs were that great. I think they are too far apart and they point out to the side. My nipples are very sensitive and I get really excited when they are touched though."	"Hi, I'm 21 years old. I'm a relatively slim build, 5ft 5' and 63 kgs. I've had slight weight loss. I've always been self-conscious about my breasts and felt that they are out of proportion with the rest of my body. They attracted a lot of attention when I was going through puberty as I started to develop very early, around 11 or 12. But as I get older I feel more comfortable and secure with my body shape and breast size and realised that appearance is important but the rest of life is a lot more so! Thanks for such a great website, it has made me realise how normal I am!"


"I'm from Jamaica. I'm 18 yrs old and I find that my breasts are rather saggy. I have never been overweight. I am 5"4 and I'm currently 120 lbs. I have seen the gallery but I am still not comfortable with my breasts... but thank you though, because I do feel a whole lot better knowing that I'm not the only one."	"Hello, at first I want to thank you for this website for encouraging me and so many others! I'm 20 years old and come from North-Europe. My US size is 36D and I've never been pregnant or haven't gone trough any radical changes in my body. I'm nicely rounded and big boned, not too overweight though ;) I've been little worried about my right breast being smaller than the left one and the overall sagginess of my breasts but now I'm much more confident about that too."	"Hi. I'm 27 years old and have never been pregnant. I'm 5'10" and weigh 145 pounds. I was a late bloomer, and didn't get my period till I was 14, so I always just assumed that my breasts were taking a while to develop but that they would eventually grow. ... Obviously, with our society being the way it is, this was a HUGE issue for me. I felt like I would be letting any man down who wanted to be with me, because I wouldn't be able to turn him on. Then I found a wonderful guy who loved me just the way I am, and although we have since broken up, I've realized that my breasts do not define who I am, and if someone loves me, they will love all of me, not just my breasts. I'm still definitely self conscious about them, but the desire to be able to breastfeed and raise healthy babies (if I ever have any!) has outweighed the desire to look "sexy". That is honestly the main reason I have never really considered getting implants. I want to be able to use my breasts for what they were meant to be used for. Breast milk is free, and it's better for babies than formula!! So I'm sending my breasts to you for your site so that if anyone else is out there who looks like me, they will realize that there are other people out there like them and not feel the need to run out and get implants! Your website is awesome, keep up the good work! "


"I'm 23, never been pregnant, normal weight, 'natural' breasts. I'm satisfied with the way my breasts look, although I didn't like them when I was younger. One is larger and droops more, but it's not that noticable. I was skinnier before and during that time my breasts were a lot smaller too. I enjoyed that a lot, I didn't need to wear a bra and different kind of clothes looked good on me! Now I have 75B and enjoy that I can show'em off and show some cleavage. Different sized breasts all have their advantages :) I'd wish that all young women knew they are beatiful, and that their breasts are just fine! We are all different and so are our bodies! "	"Hi, I'm 19 years old. I've never been pregnant. I never really paid much attention to the appearance of my breasts until I'd see other breasts on TV or in the media. They didn't look like mine, and it made me really dislike my breasts. I wish they were more fuller and rounder looking. The right one is a bit bigger, and the areolas are quite large (especially the right one) which I really hate. I wish the areolas were smaller. They don't go at all with my 34B cup boobs. I've always been pretty skinny, and not really athletic at all. I'm still not quite comfortable with my breasts but hopefully I'll get there. Your site has been quite helpful!"	"I am 31 years of age. I am a Celtic European. I am of slim build and have athletic legs from dancing ;o) I have at times felt sensitive about having small breasts, but part of my sending this photograph in is that I generally embrace my breasts and wish to do so in any way possible. Many men have also embraced my small breasts time and again and often with great gusto! I recently read Naomi Wolf's "The Beauty Myth". Rather than feeling unhappy with my own body, I simply feel very angry that women (and men) are placed under so much pressure and that so much false imagery is used to maintain the fear amongst so many of us that we are not good enough, whether that be with respect to our breasts or any other part of the body we would care to name. This is an unacceptable situation. The human body is more than a sexual instrument and sexuality is more than the human body. I truly enjoy my breasts and I think that all of the breasts on this website are beautiful."
