| A 36-year old, size 44J, with two children; the older is nursing at age 3.5. "I started developing breasts at age 9, and was teased mercilessly through grade school and middle school. I was constantly humiliated at the size of my breasts. I have terrible posture as a result of a
lifetime of hunching over to hide them. They are now a huge weight and
cause me daily pain in my back and ribs. Finding clothes that fit is a
nightmare. Buying a bra is a major expense, as they run around $45
each, and I have never had one that fits right. But I am grateful for them, nonetheless, b/c they are a source of food and comfort for my babies, the way Mother Nature intended them to be. :-)" |
Age 32, has breastfed one child for 8 months. She has lost a lot of weight and has stretch marks. "Stretch marks and all I love them." | "I am 28 years old. I have been pregnant once and was unable to breastfeed because I made NO milk. My breasts never changed during pregnancy or
engorged after and with the help of a lactation consultant and a hospital
grade pump we learned that I made no milk. It's never been officially
diagnosed by a doctor but I do fit all the 'criteria' of tubular breasts.
I am obese and at the time this picture was taken I had lost about 50lbs. I was thin in high school and extremely small chested (maybe an A cup on a good day) and even then they were very saggy. As I gained weight they got bigger though never fuller, just saggier really." |

| Breasts of a 12-week pregnant woman. "My areolas have darkened since my pregnancy began, which is normal I hear. They used to be a carnation pink color tone. Also, my breasts have increased one cup size. I was a 34B, but am now a 34C." | Breasts of the same lady as on the right, now 17 weeks pregnant. She's grown from a 34B to a 36C by this time. | The same lady again, now 32 weeks pregnant. |

| "I am a 39 year old woman, bra size 16C (Australian sizing). I have 4 children (the youngest is 4 the oldest is 14) whom I breast fed for up to a year each. I like my breasts they do sag and they do have stretch marks from pregnancy and weight loss and gains ( many over the years). I weigh about 89 kilograms and am 6 feet tall. .. I would like them to be perkier if anything but they present me no problems and my husband is in love with them even after all these years." | "I am 25 years old. I've never been overweight or anorexic, though I have been slightly underweight in the past. I was a small A cup until I became pregnant; now that child is nearly 18 months old and I wear a C cup. My baby has been breastfed from birth and we have no intention of weaning any time soon. We even nurse in public, and have never received a negative comment. My left breast has always been a little larger than the right, which used to make me very self-conscious, but now it doesn't bother me at all--partly because I have seen, through this website and by other experiences, that most women don't have perfectly symmetrical breasts, and that is only a myth perpetuated by our over-sexed, commercialized culture. Veins on my breasts have always been visible but they were even more noticeable when I was pregnant. I love my body, with all its imperfections." | "I'm a 27 year old mother of 2. I got the tattoo on my breast for my 19th birthday. I breastfed both of my children. My first for over a year; my second for about 4 months. Before my first pregnancy I was less than an A cup. While I was breastfeeding both of my children my breasts were almost a D cup. After I weaned my second child, my breasts shrunk back down to less than an A again. I've since used herbal supplements which have increased my breast size to a full A." |

| A woman's breasts at 13 weeks of pregnancy. | The same set of breasts at 39 weeks of pregnancy, one day before giving birth to twins. Notice the areolas got darker; however this lady's areolas did not get larger. | The same breasts as on the left 1 month postpartum, while breastfeeding the twins full time. The breasts are larger than during pregnancy and veins are visible - all that milk production requires a good blood supply in and out. |

| "I am 37 and have had three children in the last nine years. My youngest is nine months old and still breast feeding each day. All of my children were breastfed, the oldest two for over a year each.
My breasts have always been large (E cup), however they have become quite huge since having children. I have always had a low body image esteem due to the look and sagginess of my breasts and was immensely appreciative of your website. I am currently a little overweight, finding it difficult to lose my excess fat since my youngest child was born. Unfortunately, even when I lose a lot of weight, my breasts remain large and droopy. I hope this helps other women who have breasts they think are unattractive realise that they are normal. Just like I am." |
"I am 24 years old. I have been pregnant 3 times, but only have two children (one miscarriage).
I breastfed my first child for one year and then breastfed my second for only a month because of digestive problems. I am 5'4 and as a teen I weighed 165 and wore a C cup bra. I lost 30 pounds in about 4 months and kept it off but my breasts went down to a B cup. When I got pregnant with both children I gained 40 plus pounds and went back up to a C cup. After breastfeeding my first I went down to an A cup and my weight dropped to 118. Now after my second I'm borderline A or B cup and I am 130 pounds. My breasts are droopy and my areolas are large and dark. I have lots of stretch marks from the rapid size changes. My right breast is larger and saggier than the left because that is the side my children favored when I breastfed. I've never had full looking breasts except when breastfeeding. Even as a teen before having children my breasts always seemed more pointy and droopy. I like my breasts fine now. I like not having to wear a bra all the time. I know that I look like a normal woman and anything else would just be fake. I've had people tell me they are shocked that I could breastfeed because I was so small chested, but that's just a myth. No matter what size your breasts are you can support the nutritional needs of a baby. " |
"I am 25 years old, have a child who's almost a year old, have been brestfeeding the whole time (first six months exclusively) and plan to continue as long as my baby wants. In the picture my right breast is filled with milk and left is empty, that causes them to be really asymmetrical. Before pregnancy my left breast was a bit bigger and I had small B-cup, during pregnancy it went up to D and in the first weeks with the baby and milk up to DD. I am still having troubles getting used to bigger boobs, because I liked them when they were small and used to bind them sometimes. I have lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding (about 22 lbs) and I'm trying to get it back though I'm not underweight yet, it's my personal crusade against the fat war :) I have a tattoo on my chest and tattooes around my nipples, I used to have nipple piercings too and consider getting them done again when I'm not breastfeeding anymore. I also had a little milk even before I was pregnant, my gynecologist said it was propably because of too much prolactin but I didn't get it tested because it was never a problem for me. I have some stretchmarks that pregnancy caused, and I'm planning to use them as details in my future whole-chest tattoo." |

| "I'm 24 years old and have a three-year old daughter. I breastfed my daughter for a week when she was born. I breast feed my daughter only on my right breast." | "I am 22 years old and have been pregnant once but never carried any children to term. I'm 5'4 and 170lbs which leaves me short and stocky but I prefer to think of myself as voluptuous.
I love this website and the wonderful message it's sending. It has made me feel so good about myself, I want to share with other women and be a part of something that could help girls deal with feelings of inadequacy. I've had my anxieties, like any woman. I've felt that my breasts weren't perky enough at so young an age and I've had some particular withholdings about the veins that stand out starkly and close to the surface of my pale skin. All the same, I've always loved my breasts as a part of my overall self and they suit me just fine. :) I hope every woman can eventually feel the same way." |
"I am 34 years old and have had two children. I have attempted to breastfeed
both of them, and have failed both times! ... I am quite slim (size 10 / 12 in UK sizes
I think this is size 6 / 8 in USA) and tall (5 foot 10 inches) and have
always been so, however I have a big frame big hands, feet, head, etc.
so I dont look particularly petite.
My breasts have always been very small (AA cup), and even when I was pregnant I never made it out of an A cup I couldnt even buy a Maternity bra as they all start at a B cup. I have always been very self-conscious of my flat chest; I hated school communal showers, and even to this day wont change in a communal swimming pool changing room in case people think Im a freak. I actually prefer my breasts now (as pictured) to pre pregnancy as they are bigger, squashier and more breast like, I can even buy an A cup now, which is fantastic I feel much more female and voluptuous and a whole new world of underwear shopping has opened up before me (I really struggled before to buy underwear, and found the whole experience very upsetting as nothing fitted). ...I have considered having implants and decided against it beneath the worry and fear that I dont match up, is a belief that I shouldnt have to cut into and disfigure my own body to appear attractive to others, it is better to learn to accept myself and hope others will too. Thank you for your website, it is great. |

| "Hi, I am a 24 y/o mother of two and I love your site. I used to be quite happy with my breasts but since having my kids they have sagged considerably and the space between them has grown. My areolas used to be quite small but now they are very large and don't seem to be reducing in size again." (Which is normal because areolas increase in size during pregnancy and do stay that way.) | 22 year old, with one pregnancy, breastfed for one year. "Breasts have been saggy from the day they developed. They were a little perkier before I got pregnant, but never compared to the so called "normal" breasts. I have considered having a breast lift, but I want the ability to breastfeed future children--so I don't want to take that risk. For the most part I am happy with my breasts--the only thing I would change would be for them to not be saggy. One is larger than the other since my pregnancy." | She is 38 weeks pregnant in this picture - notice how dark the areola is, probably at its darkest. The color will fade during several months after delivery. |

| "24 year old, one pregnancy 4 years ago, breastfed for approx. 3 months, some stretch marks, my breasts prior to pregnancy were a full C, now an A so they seem to have shrunk and look like it too." | "I am 33 yrs old. I have two children, now 6 and 3. I breastfed the first for 11 months and the second for 15 months. I wear a 36C. I wore a 38B before the pregnancies. The scars seen on my stomach (and some unseen ones under the smaller breast) are from surgery done when I was a baby therefore totally unrelated to the breasts, but causing the smaller one to have a "tuck" under it and causing the nipple to point downwards. I've always wished my nipples were erect all the time and I've always wanted my breasts to be bigger, but I'll never be willing to surgically alter them, plus no matter what they look like, they fed two beautiful, healthy children naturally and inexpensively." | "38 year old, SWF. Developed about 14/15 yrs of age. Been about the same size my whole life, except while I was pregnant with my one daughter. Depending on the bra, I wear a 34 D or a 34 C. I would love a pair of those perky, media seen breats, but not willing to go to the extreme of surgery. I have an active lifestyle and stay fit." |

| "Hi.. I am 27 years old, with two children, two births. Twenty-four months PP. Did not breastfeed, not currently pregnant. I am considered obese, normal pregnancy weight gain and weight loss. Slight stretch marks. The discoloration at the top are tattoos I erased out. I am very uncomfortable with my breasts because of the sagging." | "Hi, I used to be very very insecure about my breasts until I found your site. It's giving me soo much convidence in myself to know that my breasts are NORMAL!! I use to think perfect breasts were perky with small areolas & nipples, as you can see in my pic I have very large areolas & nipples. Even before pregnancy my areolas were huge, but yah it got larger when I got pregnant.
I'm 21 years old, currently pumping in the day & breastfeeding at night. I only give him formula for back up, that's hardly ever though. My son is 4 months old. I love breastfeeding, & I am very proud to be one of the few americans who do. All my friends who had or currently pregnant don't even want to try breastfeeding. I still always encourage them to. Breastfeeding is Awesome!!! I hope my story can help other women out there! Thank you ladies out there soo much for giving me the convidence I now have." |
The same lady as on the left; about 2-3 months later. "I'm 21 years old. I've always had large areolas but it got alot darker when i got pregnant. My baby is now 6 months old and I'm still breastfeeding. I have stretch marks all over my breast :( I love this site. Thanks for making me feel normal!!!!" |

| Age 72. This lady always goes topless at home, but wears bra most of the time [otherwise]. | "I'm 27 years of age. I've been pregnant twice and have one child the other pregnancy was a miscarriage. I breastfed for a couple of days on my left breast. The left breast appears a little bigger than the right one. I've always been overweight. I've lost weight and gained. I've gotten stretch marks when I became pregnant. I like my breasts and so does my husband and thats all that matters. I'm a 40D sometimes a C cup. But I really like this website because it makes me feel more comfortable with my body. All of our bodies are unique and beautiful in their special way!" | "I'm 24 years old and I have two children. I breastfed both of them for 8 months. I used to be bigger before pregnancy, but I've never liked the shape of my breasts. They have always been pointier with larger nipples. I think they have always been lopsided, but I think they are worse now. I used to be 30 lbs heavier as well. I have never thought that my breasts were normal. " |

| "I am a 74 year old caucasian woman who had 2 pregnancies and breastfed up to 6 months. My children are now 46 and 44 year old and have their own families. I am very proud of my breasts and am a 38C, was 34 B before I gained the weight I have now on me. I weigh around 77 Kg and am 5.5 3/4 ft. I love to walk around naked around the house and prefer not to wear a bra, but wear one anyway because I don't like the nipples to show through my clothing. I am a young looking woman and proud of it. I play a lot of tennis and am very active and agile still." | "I am 34 years old. I have been overweight since my teens, I am 19 weeks pregnant. I have never been happy with my breasts so I was very happy to see this site. I was a 36 B but have gone to a 38 C since falling pregnant. I had never been pregnant before and now since my pregnancy my nipples have gotten a lot bigger! I have been on birth control several times since my teens this always used to cause an increase in my cup size but never made my nipples get bigger. At the moment my breasts ache constantly and the nipples are very tender and sore." | (attached photo: 34G, 32 years, 4 babies breastfed) "For years I really disliked my shape since I developed quickly and younger than my classmates, and immediately got the 'wrong' sort of attention from males, which led to an eating disorder and deliberately dressing to disguise my bust - I essentially found myself apologising for having large breasts on a small frame. I continued this well late teens and early twenties, holding myself with a slouched posture, wearing minimising bras and layers of clothes, anything to hide. After I started having babies my perspective changed, my boobs got bigger and whether I liked it or not, they couldn't be 'hidden' because it was important to me to nurse my babies. For what it's worth, I now really like my boobs and appreciate them as an 'attractive' part of my figure, given that they're pretty useful when used for what they're made for." |

I'm 14 years old (almost 15), and my breasts just started growing, I don't know, a year ago. All my friends seem very comfortable with themselves and are even comfortable enough to say, go skinny dipping in other people's pools. Of course I'm never around then or when they change in front of me I don't sit there and stare, so I haven't actually seen anyone else breasts. I have always been jealous of their confidence. I think I'm an A cup, (I've never been properly fitted) and haven't shopped for bras since I first got one (from the kids section) and it's a 32A. But I don't really care about my size, I'm actually only uncomfortable with my nipples witch are either flat or inverted I'm not sure. Your gallery helped me so much, I'm not completely confident (due to being a teenager with emotional problems) but I do feel a lot better about myself thank you.

I think women and teens should love the breasts that they have. People should love them for what they are and not to change them. As a man, I love every shape size of a woman breasts. I don't mind if they're are big or small. Women and teens out there, love your body God gave you.

I had never felt the relief from any heart destroying problem that is capable of making one mental or commit suicide than the day I stumbled into this site while trying to study about breast cancers. Many a time we worry about irrelevant things out of inexperience for what others pass through in life, but i have come to know that i need not kill myself over a pair of shoes when others have no legs.
'Maria', you are one in a million person in the world. I know you are a great counsellor, keep it up you are doing a great job of saving lives.

I came across this website by accident - and though never had any continuous issues of confidence regarding my breasts (I am a 38 GG-british sizing) - like most women I have hated them from time to time. Your website has made me realise -even more than I already did -that there is no such thing as 'normal' in the media hyped sense -and that indeed my boobs are actually very nice -thankyou -for my 45 yrs and 5 children later-in fact they are quite possibly my best feature and I love them. I intend to tell my daughter -and sisters and neices about this site -as let's face it -how often do we actually get to see REAL boobs??? They are hidden under clothes and in bras and don't tend to come out in public. Therefore it is possible for the media to market their total rubbish about the perfect breasts and us ladies fall for it hook, line, and sinker, because we all too often have nothing to compare our own with. A fabulous site -keep up the good work!!!!

Ladies and girls, I am 11 and I am already a 34A. I look at skinny girls in my grade and I just am so jealous. They are flat. A few girls in my grade have the same size as me but I definately have the ugliest body. But I am getting through that enjoying my life and ignoring the fact that I have bigger breasts than I should. They are just extra layers of skin and fat anyway. Sincerely,
Jane
xoxo
Ladies, please remember what your breasts are foremost designed to do...they are to feed your babies first, they are to be admired and touched by men second. Do not lose sight of that reality. You are all beautiful!!!
Scott
Wonderful site! Some of the comments made me want to cry with recognition and empathy. I am a 34DDD or 34E and my breasts have not been "perky" since age 11 or 12. I have had a lot of stretch marks since age 13 or 14.
Oh how I wish this site had been around when I was a teenager. Thank you for doing this.
L
You have a wonderful web site. I was one of the early developing girls and I am (at age 43) an E cup. I have been conflicted more years than I care to count over my breasts. Alternating between hating and loving them. It wasn't until my 40's that I began to accept my breasts. I wish this web site had been available when I was going thru puberty. Seeing breasts as natural instead of sexual is very good for all women. Thank you.
May Sandifer
Hello, my friend showed me your site when I commented on how "unnatural" my breasts were. Turns out, they're normal. I have big boobs and to me they look saggy. I always hated and the shape and used to think of getting surgery to "fix" that. I get really worried that if I meet a guy and he sees my boobs he won't like them.
Anyways, I just wanted to say this site helped alot. I'm not so harsh on my boobs anymore. :D

Ladies, Girls, I've led a long life, married 3 times, once to a textbook barbie type, once to a lady who weighed over 300 lbs, and the last somewhere in between. I just want to say, do NOT be ashamed of your body. Any man who truly loves you will love whatever body you have. If he puts you down or rejects you because of your body, HE has a problem, not you, and you are better off without him. Just my 2 cents worth.
Rick
I'm 35. I have always hated my breasts. I have a difficult time showing them to anyone in any context. I feel somewhat better after coming across this website. Thank you.
I must admit to finding this site by accident. I am a middle age man who views life in many dimensions. All my life, I've described as sensitive and concerned about the feeling women. Though married for many years, during my lifetime, I've dated a few women when single. What I found attractive about many of them had less to do with body parts, size or weight. It had more to do with their ability to communicate, personality, common interest, compatibility, knowledge and education and of last sexuality. Personally, my ideal woman has never been limited a by body type, or breast size. Im not sure, but I believe a man must have invented some the devices that restrict women, such as the bra, the girdle, and pantyhose. All are designed to tell women what makes them attractive. Women in the magazine and TV ads are not average women. They are idealized images of what society tells us how women should look to be considered attractive or beautiful.
Many years ago, while in college, I dated a young woman who was self-conscious about her small breast size. I saw her as attractive, beautiful, intelligent, interesting, and sensitive with a big heart and companion for people. She was then and still is a wonderful woman. I remember my many failed attempts to reassure her to no end that she should not be concerned about the size of her breasts. Out of frustration, I asked her directly, has any man ever asked you for some breast? She laughed so hard that I still remember the expression on her face. What she had to offer came more from inside than her perceived breast related deficiencies. What she is was far more important than the size of her breast.
My ideal woman has never been limited to one particular body type, or breast size. Like men, women come in all shapes and sizes, and a woman's most attractive feature is self-confidence. Some of the comments I've read by women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s on this site are very inspiring. Their self-confidence has allowed them to enjoy lasting relationships with husbands, partners, and children while I'm sure addressing more important concerns during their lives.
We should all say, Bless them all; bless them all, the long and the short and the tall. Bless all the women of all shapes and sizes with good health, fulfilling relationships, healthy and happy children, and the ability to realize their individual dreams, whatever they may be. Remember, your cup size, shape or weight should never determine totally how you see yourselves.
SensitiveMan
Thank you for this site. I am 26 and I never had the perky breasts I see in magazines. I feel much more confident, my husband asks me why do I hide them from him. I will not anymore thanks again.
lisa
I'm 30. My left breast is extremely larger than the right side. I have two children. I have never been happy with my breasts so I was very happy to see this site. I was a 36 B but have gone to a 38 C since falling pregnant. I had never been pregnant before and now since my pregnancy my nipples have gotten a lot bigger! I have been on birth control several times since my teens this always used to cause an increase in my cup size but never made my nipples get bigger. At the moment my breasts ache constantly and the nipples are very tender and sore.
Anne
The size and shape of the female breasts are not important. It's the person they're attached to that matters.
Jim
I thank God for this site. I'm 32 and I've always been self-conscious about my breasts because I thought they sagged.
In high school, I was a 36 C and now after children and weightgain I'm about a 38D. But, after getting married and seeing how they satisfy my husband and how efficiently they've feed 3 children so far, I'm extremely thankful.
Seeing this site really makes me know just how normal I am and gives me a lot to be thankful for. They're a nice size, they're basically symmetrical, nice nipples, hey I can't complain. My girls may not be featured in the latest video, but I thank God that I've had no problems with them and they're a blessing to me.
Realizing the deceit of the media made me decide to educate my girls about the beauty of natural breasts when they come of age. For now, I've got a little time since they're only 4 and 1.
Thank you guys!
Monique
I'm a guy and I'm happy with the work you've done here allowing real people to show everyone what real breasts look like. This I believe will curb the lies the media use to brainwash people into not accepting themselves as they are. I hope more that the ladies would come to peace with the shape, orientation and size of their natural breasts and learn to love them so. That would help all of us a lot because unless the ladies see and accept the beauties of their features, they possibly will never believe it when we tell them how beautiful we think they are.
Thanks again.
Aminu
I came upon this website while doing research on mothers nursing babies. As an artist and hoping to do a series of paintings on that subject, I find that the majority of women are too hard on theirselves when it comes to size and symmetry of their breasts. That's a shame as I don't think most men feel that way. Some men like large breasts, some men like small breasts, if he doesn't appreciate what God gave you, you don't need him. Breast augmentation should only be done if there is a deformity. All breasts are beautiful as is the female body. If men didn't love the female body, the human race would have died out centuries ago. Love yourselves, ladies. Don
Wow, with one click I found your site and I can't believe how good my breasts are! I've known for a while that my poor body image (esp. about my breasts) was not logical or probably even warranted, but mostly it's been caused by the fact that the media only shows "the best" breasts. I've always wondered what the normal, natural range of breasts was, but I wasn't going to wander around locker rooms or anything like that. I didn't even consider that there would actually be a natural, normal and NOT-perfect breast site.
Bless you, I think everyone should see your site at some point in their lives.
Amanda
I just finished breast feeding my daughter, and I was feeling so bad about my breasts that I tried to find a "cure" online by looking for something I could wear that would make my breast appear beautiful. But after seeing what is real I am happy with mine. I wouldn't change them they are a part of me. Thank you sooo much I am going to share this website with my friends!!!!!
Jackie
I love your site! I have always been uncomfortable with my B-cup sized breasts (I guess I'm lucky to have any cleavage at all!) but after seeing this site it has made me a bit more comfortable with them. Also, I am obese and I am pear shaped so I tend to think that makes my boobs look even smaller. I also just had a thought that if you could make cup size categories just so women can see how different breasts are at different cup sizes might help with other women's self esteem as well. Thanks so much for this site!
Rachel
The problem with cup sizes is, first of all not all women know theirs accurately. Second, judging from pictures won't be accurate either. Third, the cup size varies according to band size. 32A breasts are not the same size as 36A breasts. It just isn't quite "linear".
