What if I'm TRULY flat chested - can I get bigger breasts?

Flat-chested girls often wonder how to increase breast size; which is very understandable in this society where the pressure to have big breasts is so great. So here are some points as to what works in increasing breast size, and what doesn't.

What doesn't work

There is NO food that will make your breasts bigger.
Exercise will not help much... because breasts do not have muscles. BUT if you really tone your chest muscles that are underneath the breasts, there will be a tiny effect.
Sleeping position has no effect on breast size.
Nor will wearing bras or not wearing bras.
Rubbing or squeezing won't affect breast size.

Things that do affect breast size

If you get pregnant, that will quite probably make your breasts grow. Breasts will stay larger till the end of breastfeeding.
If you are very skinny and thin and almost underweight, one option to gain bigger breasts is simply to gain some weight in general - some of that fat will get deposited in the breasts.
It is quite understandable that many flat-chested women look into herbal breast enhancement. These herbal pills MAY sometimes, for some women, increase the breast size, but they don't make any difference for most. Also, the growth that some women get may not be permanent.
Breast implants will of course make your breasts bigger. Unfortunately, they bring with them a lot of physical suffering and sometimes even a crippling disease. You will need several surgeries during your lifetime. Breast implants also will endanger your future ability to breastfeed.
The bra industry has come up with various means of creating the illusion of bigger breasts: padded bras, silicone breast enhancers, gel inserts that are placed inside the bra.
Birth control pills may for some women have the side effect of increasing breast size. This is because of the estrogen they contain.

How do flat-chested women feel?

Because of the great emphasis that fashion magazines place on big breasts, flat-chested women easily feel embarrassed, that men won't like them, or that they are 'deformed' or outcasts etc. Please read few comments sent to this website and the answers.

WELL IM VERY FLAT CHESTED I WAS WONDERING IF YALL COULD HELP ME BY TELLING ME WAT I SHOULD EAT AND WAT KINDA OF EXERCISE I CHOULD DO PLZ. HELP ME

hi,i'm 15 years old and i'm flat chested and i had my period when i was 11. My mom said not to worry but i do! I already have my public hair growing but not my breasts.i still wear training bras not real ones. My nipples are pointy but the rest of my breasts are not big. People, Guys make fun of me! I need help! My mom had her breasts when she was 14 but what's happening to me?

I've been writing at several places in HUGE FRUSTRATION. My cup size is negative 2 inches (I'm 24). I am made fun of all the time even though I'm so old. I thought people only made fun in high school but since I look so young, like I'm 12, they won't stop with the comments. I'm so confused about how ugly I look that sometimes I feel like I need to start acting like a man to fit my image although inside I'm as girly as you could want. My question is: what are you supposed to buy in terms of bra when your cup size is negative 2 inches?? The bra industry makes NOTHING for people like me. I feel so left out of the game. All my female friends my age can wear bras and are beautiful. I'm ugly and guys HATE the way I look. But... so what do I wear?? I've been wearing an AA and it's too big for me and keeps riding up. It's not fun. How many girls % wise would you say look like me? Why are guys grossed out by my flatness? Why am I made this way? Is it bodyweight? I weigh ~120. I'm 5'6''. I hate myself.

I really like your articles on who needs breast implants but I'm sorry to say I still don't feel so good. I'm 32 going on 33 I have a flatchest like in grade school. I have severe depression just walking outside to get in my cadillac because there's always a prettier woman or girl passing me by and I have to face it men like boobs to look at. Is there anything that will make me feel better with surgery because I'm looking forward to going to work in nursing home soon. thanks so much for your time, tig

Having a small chest can be embarrassing in this land where big breasts are adored and emphasized to such an extreme... Actually, flat-chested women ARE to produce milk... so they're NOT lacking in that sense. They ARE women.

Guys or men will NOT necessarily be "grossed out" by this... maybe some would, but not all. How the man acts will also depend on YOUR attitude towards your body. If you hate your body, people around you may sense it, and that may then influence their attitude toward you. On the other hand, if you can accept your body and are happy, and take the best care of it you can, that will also affect how others see you.

You may think that men always are drawn to breasts and want to "play" with breasts. But sexuality is NOT dependent on breasts. It is based on love, and that someone loves you, he's not bothered by lack of breast tissue.

Men are drawn to whatever they are culturally taught to be drawn to. Men in the US probably want to play with breasts because they THINK they are supposed to do so... not because it is some kind of automated response. Customs are different in different parts of the world. In a loving relationship between husband and wife, they can tell each other what they might like and enjoy, and not just "grab breasts" or some other part... It's a mutual love situation, not some kind of scripted play that has to go according to some pre-written form.

And not all men are so totally obsessed about breasts. Read some of the visitor comments on Breast obsession and Breast gallery pages. Especially look for the occasional comments from males.

And, prettiness is not based on breasts alone... in fact that would be just a small part of it. Maybe you're always observing other women's chests - well quit. Look at their face or hair or legs too, or general apperance. Quit reading women's magazines with 'belief' - the models you see in there are not the norm, nor would they look like that without extensive help from makeup, camera tricks, and plastic surgery.

The lack of breast tissue does not make you an ugly woman! Most of us have some kind of imperfection in our body, yet most women look pretty in their own way - it is quite rare to find a totally homely looking person. And, one of the biggest things in being attractive is a POSITIVE attitude and an open and helping attitude towards our fellow men... people like to be around such people, no matter what size breasts or legs or buttocks.

It all boils down to the fact that the PERSON should be much more important than ANY body part. If people abide by this, then even flat-chested girls wouldn't feel so embarrassed. At any rate, people who care really about you, realize this and they care about you no matter what your breast size.

A comment we received in November 2006:

I used to have small breasts. Now I only have one. You see, I used to be unsatisfied until I got cursed with cancer in one breast and lost it because it was diseased. Now I would do anything to have that small breast back.

After reading through most of these comments I have to agree with what the majority is saying. Having small breasts may be embarrassing but really the problem isn't with your body -- it's how you feel about yourself. I've always been pretty flat chested - 32AA to be exact and for the longest time I was always embarrassed and self-conscious about my appearence. All through childhood and puberty I was teased by my peers and family. Yes, even my family would poke fun at me, which really reinforced my horrible body image. But one day I said something to my Dad about how ugly I was and he was shocked. He had no idea I felt that way since everyone around me always commented on how beautiful I was. You see, I was so fixed on one part of my body that I couldn't even see the whole picture. I'd only allow myself to take in the negative comments (the ones I agreed with) and tuned out anything else. After talking with him further I realized that my sisters and most other people really teased me out of jealousy. My small breasts seemed to be the only thing anyone could find wrong with me. I'm almost 30 now and the truth is I've not had trouble finding a boyfriend, I always receive attention from men, and while many of my girlfriends are starting to show their age, I still look young and beautiful. In fact, most strangers I meet assume I'm either in my late teens or early 20's. A quality that every woman wishes she had, which I know is largely due to my small breats. So to all those young girls out there worried about their breast size, do yourself a favor and look in the mirror... trust me you're gorgeous and anyone who says otherwise is just jealous ;)

I have 2 daughters, one 20, the other 16. The 20 yr old has very large breasts. I don't have a breast size, I'm flat chested. My 16 yrs old daughter is the same, and I'm angry with society and the emphasis placed on breasts. My 16 yr old flat chested daughter is in therapy and has a shrink as well, she is on meds and has an attempted suicide to boot - all because of breasts, the biggest body issue out there. I'm 45 years old and I still get picked on and things said to me. So I very seldom go out - it's like I'm a freak. I've tried not to let my daughters get caught up in this but the sad truth is, it's reality -no matter what I say, no matter how supportive I am, nothing will ever be ok. Gel inserts don't work, there's no boobs to hold into place. I'm married to a wonderful man who says he loves me the way I am and I've accepted that. We own a inground pool and have bbqs and swims all summer long. I don't go in the water, haven't been in water since I was 13 - no bathing suit fits as a flat chest. My daughter does not go in either, no bathing suits for her. Inserts once again fall out. I have watched my other daughter's life with boobs compared to that of my 16 yr old and between the two, even when the oldest was 16, life has been so much different to her-don't say boobs don't count - they do!

I didn't grow breasts until I was 15. And they stopped after 32B. I'm 28.
My breasts are small but symmetrical. They are beautiful.
I grew up being teased over everything, including my small breasts.
I grew up in a society that loves big breasts- my mother even got implants.
I have friends that got them and some of them look good.
I thought about getting fake breasts- not too large, just bigger than what I have.
Then when the time came to make the call, I went to the mirror and cried. I realized I would miss my small breasts very much.
And then I realized that I was not strong enough to appreciate the beauty I was naturally bestowed. I wanted to be "normal". I wanted to be more womanly.
I realize that there is nothing wrong with my breasts.
They're small. So what?
If I feel bad about having small breasts, I just Google photos of celebs I think are beautiful that have small breasts like Natalie Portman. If someone loves me, they love all of me.

I am 28 years old and I am completely flat chested. I am embarrassed to go out in public because I have been made fun of by many people, girls and guys still to this day. Even boyfriends have made fun of me about it. The saddest part is when I can't even wear the clothes other girls wear cause it looks so bad. My present guy is so upset with me because of how much I get upset over it, but I don't think it's fair. I am totally abnormal and unattractive. I do not have the money to have surgery but I pray I will one day.

For the women who have flat chests, tiny breasts, or small breasts, be very proud of your breast sized because there are guys who love them very much like myself. :) If a guy does not want to be with you, just because of your breast size, he does not really love you. He should love you for who you are, not for your breast size like many women have said.

Phoenix Cat

Well, that makes x100 of us flat chested or whatever they call.
One thing for sure, I am more than happy what GOD gave me, big boobs or small ones. It's inside your heart that most guys are looking for. I am married with two beautiful children, and my breast sizes is very small. One day I joked to my husband, "I need to get some implants" to see what his reaction be, he looked at me and said, "Why will you do such a thing, you looked great with small breast, why will you add another burden on your back and your shoulders?" I laughed and said to him, "Do you think I will ever go through that road????, no way."
For all small size women, let's celebrate what GOD gave us, and it's truly special, it's a treasure. You can have big boobs, but if you're mean then no man will want to come near you, but if you have 32A, AA or whatever size with a great and positive attitude, then for sure you'll attract men.
LET'S ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE.

Girls with flat chests, read my story.
A few months ago I (40) fell in love with a wonderful woman (32), she has virtually no breasts. I just love her tiny breasts the way they are! Girls, get rid of guys who want you to insert silicon. Just dump them - they are not only sexually fixed but jerks. I say that as a guy! If a guy needs a girl with big boobs to show to friends, he is not worth your time and love. If only big ones arouse him, let him go for big ones... He will NEVER love any woman for what she is - a lovely and caring person or whatever.
I love my tiny-breasted girl.

Andy

I know I should be happy with my small chest because yeah I know I'm not the only one out there. But I can't help but be upset about it. I'm 16 years old and like a lot of the other girls had said I hardly fit in a training bra. I absolutely hate it. I'm only 5'2 and weight 114lbs... I should at least a have a chest. I absolutely hate going swimming in public and always wear a T-shirt over my swimming suit. I can't even find a prom dress that looks nice on me because I don't have a chest to hold a strapless dress up and they just look weird on me. I look at the other girls in my school and feel so immature because I don't have the body of a real woman... I'm glad there is this site because it tells me I'm not alone but that's just not enough for me. I'd do anything to have a chest...
-Shelby-

I am very thankful for this site! I am 36 years old and I nursed 4 babies; all for 12 months. Upon losing all my pregnancy weight (back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 120lbs) I went from a 34A down to a 34AA. Insted of being happy with losing all that weight I became very depressed. I hate how my body looks. I'm very embarrassed of how I look, don't feel feminine at all. I get extremely frustrated shopping for clothes - nothing ever fits. Everyone that posted on this site says how important self-confidence is, but I don't know how to become confident in how I look.

I appreciate everyone's honesty. It's so good to know I'm not alone in this breast-filled world. AND MEN... I especially appreciate you all taking the time to post your comments. They truley help me. I used to avoid looking at myself in the mirror because I never liked what I saw, and if I did look at myself I would weep. Every day now I force myself to look in the mirror and insted of weeping I remind myself of what these amazing men have said about me. I am getting better little by little. Thanks everyone!

Brenda

Wow, I had always thought I was so abnormal until I came across this site.
I am almost 15 and I am still wearing a training bra. My self esteem has plummeted over the past couple years because everyone else's boobs grew and mine didn't. My butt sticks out wayyy farther than my chest and if I look in a mirror sometimes I burst into tears. This site has made me realize that every girl is beautiful no matter what size, and we're never alone. I felt so isolated but there are people just like me out there! I am so underconfident. Maybe now that I can see myself as possibly... attractive? I could learn to make more friends. Thank you so much.

Brittany

Hey I just turned 20 years old and I am quite flat chested. Every birthday I would say to myself 'don't worry you'll have boobs by next year' but I think I'm just going to have to get used to how my body is. This site is so encouraging! Particularly comments about how there are other attributes that make women feminine. I've never been teased about having no boobs but I'm always told how young I look and I think it's because i'm flat chested! Recently, I was a bridesmaid and the lady who measured me commented on my lack of a chest. I was so embarrassed and I thought to myself- she never would have said anything if I was overweight! Everything else about me is ok. It's just that always feel like no matter how nice my hair/face looks there's always something missing. Thanks for all the guys who commented, it has really given me more confidence although I still have a long way to go!

Helena

My girlfriend and I deeply agree on this fact... Breast size is not the end-all be-all factor of relationships. I would love my girlfriend if she had DD's or AA's and I have spent a year trying to convince her of my sincerity. All I'm saying is that there are alot of guys who don't care about breast size, I mean, speaking on behalf of most guys out there. And even though to keep up appearances we may say stupid things like: "Did you see the rack on her?", not all of us are inconsiderate jerks like the media projects. I just wish my girlfriend believed me =/

Rob

This site is wonderful...I have already given my "story" about my completely flat chest but wanted to address a few of the posters' concerns about being overweight and totally flat. One poster commented that she had not read of anyone who was extremely obese and yet flat. Well, I am. I'm 44 years old and to that young woman, and any others with the same concerns, I want to tell them that they are not alone. They are not the only one in the world that is not only flat but also overweight. I developed completely normally in every way in adolescence... except for my breasts. I just have two semi-large nipples sitting on a completely flat chest AND, for most of my life have been overweight, making my hips and thighs stick out even more and also highlighting how flat I am. Girls, you are NOT alone in this. There are many other women with this problem. It's just likely that they hide it under silicone pads, padded bras, etc. I can relate to you all. I hid my heartbreak and my flat chests growing up. I kept waiting to develop and it never happened. It DID take a long time to finally learn how to deal with this, in this breast-obsessed society. I did learn though. I wish this wonderful site had existed when I was growing up and in my twenties and even thirties. Yes, I would still love to have that "weight" on my chest that I've never experienced. Yes, for many years, I felt my sexuality was almost non-existent because I was obsessed with not having even small breasts-let alone normal or big ones. But I was neglecting to appreciate and be grateful for all I DID have. Good health, Ok face, nice, though big, hips, etc. Keep your chins up and feel good about all of your other wonderful assets! Plus, love your breasts because they are part of YOU. And remember to read the wonderful posts by the many men on this site who actually PREFER flat chests! Blessings to you all.

I turned 18 this month (April '08), but only started my period during the summer of '07. I'm also only 5"4, and about 115 pounds... so I'm no skinny girl here, yet my breasts are about a 32-34 AA, which is virtually flat. It's very embarrassing is a mam-obsessed world with the ideal woman having decent-sized breasts. And I have a short torso and a wide-ish rib cage, so I not only look more flat, I look like a pudgy child.

IT'S FRUSTRATING.

Adie M

For a long time I was embarrassed to have no breast.(I'm a 32 A). Now I am 30 years old and I have two kids (so obviously I found a man who didn't mind). I still only wear padded bras (I pretty much have to!). For a while I wanted to get implants but it just seemed so shallow and I would think about how I might not be able to nurse if I had anymore kids, or how I wouldn't even be able to enjoy them during intercourse b/c of the decreased sensitivity. I finally ended up buying a pair of silicon gel inserts to place in my bra, it's called "takeouts- the better boob job". It make my boobs a full cup size bigger, the only difference bet these and real implants are that these implants are worn outside of my breast in my bra and not placed inside my body. I still wish I had boobs, I wish I could wear lingerie just one day in my life, or a bathing suit w/o padding, or to just have cleavage, but oh well!

Look around, there are many more flat people around than you know, not everyone is wearing tops with their boobs spilling out--and some of them walk around in padded bras with tight tops with their nose in the air!!

Heather

I LOVE YOUR SITE!!! I am so glad I found it the other day! I am a 45 year old woman, with 3 grown children. I am very, very small breasted and very, very self conscious over this fact. I am probably a 36AA at the most. I have been miserable my entire life over not having bigger breasts, not to mention my 3 sisters inherited Dolly Pardon sized breasts. And not to mention my ex-husband used to call me "a pirate's treasure--because of my sunken chest." I am thrilled to see other real women out there, and we are all BEAUTIFUL!!! Now maybe I can stop feeling so "inadequate" and start shopping for fun, sexy clothes and be proud of me. God made me this way and I'm not going to mess with His design.

All I wany to say is: Thanks a lot! I have always been obsessed by my flat chests! But it is ok now, after reading all your comments here. I realized one thing: appearance is nothing, the important one is yourself! Thank you, thanks so much, I have never been this encouraging! Thanks!

Huyen Trang

I can relate to those of you who are flat chested. I am one too and have learnt to flaunt it since there is just nothing I can do about increasing my breast size. Surgery is out of the question for sure and why spend all the money to increase the breast size when what we are born to have is what we must learn to live with. Walk tall.... as you are beautiful... flat chested and all. So girls... go out there and just walk the walk with the flat chest you have.... beauty is from the inside and it will be seen.

Lizzy

Does anyone know what kind of clothes look best for flat chested girls? Prom's coming up and it is going to be really embarrassing. I will be 18 soon and got my period at 11/12. I have a "nearly A" size bra and am nowhere near filling it. I usually wear a strapless bra for dances but it only comes in A and if I dont wear one at all the dress looks funny. Is there something I should do or a type of dress I should wear to look good? Halter? bra? No bra? I don't know lol and how can I look more feminine b/c I want short hair but am afraid of looking like a boy thanks!! =)

beeswax not your inc. lol

I think flapper style dresses are often recommended for this.

I was searching for bathing suits and came across this site; it's been a real eye opener. After reading all the comments, I have realized that I am not flat chested after all! I'm no Pamela Anderson, but I've struggled with low self-confidence in regards to my small breasts for a long time, and it was a relief to read of the ways other strong women have overcome their esteem issues.

Throughout high school, I was an A cup, and it seemed I would stay that way forever. I also had to struggle with an above-average height: being 6 foot and weighing less, naturally, than most girls half a foot shorter than me! I could pull off a padded bra quite well, but even if I had D cups they would look small with my height. There was just no place in a small town for a model lookalike. But otherwise, especially with the attention I received from guys, I managed to have pretty good self confidence.

Yes, I got a LOT of attention from males, and along with stellar support from select friends, I've developed an amazing sense of confidence. But throughout high school (not so much in college) girls came at me with insults all the time and it really got me down. It depressed me to think that while males had no problems with me, my own kind did. I thought maybe this signified that something was wrong with me. Thankfully an amazing boyfriend came into my life and voiced something I would never even have considered: these girls were jealous of me! He thought it was obvious and even said that most guys in our town agreed that I was the best looking. Keeping in my mind that many of them were shorter than me, I felt extremely flattered. I had already begun to bloom on my own but hearing this from a large number of people just helped me on my way.

One of the hardest things for me to deal with was my own sister. She brought up my "flat-chestedness" often, around my peers, male and female, and especially when we were bra shopping or swimsuit shopping. She'd say, "OH NO! Stop wearing padded bras! They look so fake!" And it would hurt me, a lot, because she was supposed to support me. But again, my man told me, "It's easy to see that she is just jealous of you. Talk to her." So I did. And at first my open communication was not well received. But eventually my sister came around and said that yes, she was jealous. She started sobbing in my arms, saying, "Guys have always liked you better, with your tan and blond hair and blue eyes! It's so unfair. You're so stereotypically beautiful!" Little did I know, my sister had been battling a stereotype of her own. She had red hair, ivory skin, and many freckles, which I had never thought ugly, but then I realized that she had. She really didn't see my small breasts at all -- she could only see my beauty and confidence.

I'm pouring out my life story here to tell you this: life is bigger than your insecurities. Someone else will always have what you want, and though you may not think it, you will always have what someone else wants. Your friend with double D's? She wants your flawless complexion and toned thighs. And those things you don't like about yourself, someone else may not even see. So don't waste time worrying about any physical feature because in the end, life isn't about how you look. Life's about where you've been, what you've done, and who you are.

Hey all....
I'm an 18 yrs old totally flat-chested and desperate girl..... I'm 1.74 m (by 54 kg = 119.0496 lb).... It's really good to read all these comments, to see those pics... and to know that there are others like me.... In the last time I thought I could really accept myself-my breasts-but now it's the same story.... if I only look at my flat chest.. It brings me down-okay, it's not looking that bad, and sometimes I like it... but I cannot leave the house without my bra.... I'm a tiny girl-and I would even accept the flat chest, but in contrast with my ass-it just doesnt fit together. My behind is good 20 cm bigger than my "chest"!!!! I just look like an duck! If I only look at my behind-then he looks brilliant-but I need tits for such a behind-and if there are no tits-there should be a much smaller behind. It just does not compare to each other-and that makes me desperate.... I remember the look of my boyfriend as he saw me for the first time in my bikini-no special bra under.... everything flat..... now he sometimes says he loves me-but I see his eyes looking for tits.... and that's hurting me.....

Thank you for your wonderful site. I want all of the posters on here with flat chests to know that I sympathize with you all and can completely and totally relate. I am in my forties now but my flat chest still bothers me, to a degree. I developed normally in every other way as an adolescent: normal period and normal age for beginning my period, pubic hair, hips, etc. But my breasts? I got little 'nubs' and that was it. And it wasn't a genetic thing; my sister and mother had B and C cups. Like many other posters with this problem, I have totally flat breasts but DO have 2 nipples that jut out enough that I can't even get by with not wearing some kind of bra to cover them up. I can't fit into an A or even an AA. Like the young ones on here that are "obsessing" on this, I want to tell you, I hurt with you. People may not think this is a big deal, but it's only the women who have boobs, or men, that don't think it is. And I agree with the one poster who said, "Whoever said that being flat-chested makes your clothes fit better?" It doesn't!

I know what it's like to feel like you aren't quite a "real" woman. I know what that pain in your heart feels like when you don't feel whole or normal. I know the embarrassment of having people laugh and make jokes about my body, as I laughed along with them but cried on the inside. I know what it's like to buy a cute outfit only to have it look awful because I had no chest where one was supposed to be and that outfit didn't look like it did on that mannequin (and a mannequin with small "breasts", at that!) at the store.

But I want you young and not-so-young girls to know that, just like the wonderful men that have posted on this board say, there are men out there that love their wives because of who they are not what sits on their chest! And I wish I had the benefit of this site in my teens and twenties because it has helped me tremendously! Take the advice of the flat-chested ones who have posted on here that have goals and love who they are, inside and out. It make take time and there will still be those "I hate my flat chest!" times, but take heed to the ones that tell you truly, it IS WHO you are as a person; your heart, your sense of humor, your passion in your work and in life that make you, YOU.

And as you get older, it DOES get much easier. I probably have had the biggest hang up of anyone over not having breasts but that pain and obsession gradually went away (though not completely) as the years have gone by. I am happily married (no children) to a man who truly loves me and makes me feel special in every way. So, put your chins up and know that you ARE "REAL" women! And you are ALL beautiful. If your friends make remarks sometimes or other people do, remember, it is their shallowness and ignorance that make them say those things. They don't understand but we do!
Blessings to you all.

Whenever I am feeling a little blue about my 34-A's, I jump online (how I found this site) and look at pictures of small breasted celebrities or I'll pick up the latest issue of VOGUE magazine. Small breasted women rule the fashion world and seeing them reinforces that we are just as beautiful and sexy. Yeah, everyone likes to look at breasts.... me included. I will always wish I had "just a little more", who doesn't? I am 39 now and when I look back at pictures of myself in my 20's, my small breasts look great. I'm sorry I didn't relax and enjoy my body more. I won't lie to you, I still wear padded bras and wouldn't be caught dead in a tank top that doesn't cover a bra strap, but as I age, these little cuties keep me "young" looking. All the well endowed girlfriends I envied over the years, now need boob lifts. Even those that didn't breast feed! While theirs sag and droop, mine are as perky as when I was in high school. These are the things I draw on when I'm feeling a little inferior around someone "bigger" than me. Seeing a friends 16yr daughter develope in front of my eyes is depressing. I wish I could tell you differently, but ignorant people will make harsh comments. Mine happened at 13yrs attending my first boy/girl dance. I overheard a boy call me a "doormat". I've been teased about being a member of the "Itty Bitty Titty Committee" and once (in my 20's), while wearing a non-padded bathing suit top at a summer Fair with friends, we walked by 3 guys and one of them yelled out "those were the smallest titties I've ever seen". The roar of their laughter was crushing. A few years ago I picked up my 2yr son while not wearing a bra and he asked "Where are your boobs Mommy?". When I was younger I wanted implants. Now I'm REALLY GLAD I didn't go that route. I know I would need another surgery by now and I've seen some pretty harsh photos on awfulplasticsurgery.com. We need to embrace our bodies and not underestimate what weight bearing exercise can do to the "look" of our small breasts. I will always feel like I got jipped in the breast department but that doesn't make me less of a women. I keep the rest of me in shape and whenever I'm feeling a little selfconscious around people (maybe we're all looking a the big boobs walking towards us) I just muster up all my self confidence and say, "God didn't give me big boobs because he knew I'd flaunt them!".

I dont think boobs are fair....they can't be. they are either to big...or to small. I am 14 an have 32 c-d cups breasts. I always get fustrated with my boobs. I would love to be a smaller size but I know that isnt going to happen. the boys and girls make fun of me for having big boobs but not as much as I have tried to show I don't care. i know I have to learn to love myself and my body but sometimes I cry about it aswell! but then I think if I cant love myself no-one else can.
hope everyone is ok.

I ran across your site when I was looking for info on breast milk. I am a 15yr old guy I know it is odd for some one like me to look up such a strange thing but I wanted to learn about this now for later. Anyways will you please give a little encouragement to all the girls that write to you about being flat chested. Not all guys think it isn't attractive I happen to think it is highly attractive. I just wrote to let all the girls out there know there are guys out there that find flat chests attractive or nearly flat I am one of em.

I am now 41 yrs old and still hate my flat chest as much as I did as teen. And,like many of you, I am not talking a 'small A', I am talking totally,completely flat. Being in the Negative in measurements. However, this site is Wonderful! Thank you! Even at my age, this is the ONLY resource I have found that addresses this problem so honestly and completely. I have felt JUST like many of you younger teens and twenties. I am coming to the point now where I can say, like others on this site, that I realize that there is more to life than boobs and to be very grateful that I am not in a wheelchair. I am healthy and happy with a good job and wonderful man who loves me just like I am.
I was totally average in every other way in developing. My mother and sister are medium to large 'B's ( I would Kill to even be a regular A), so it wasn't in the genes. I started my period at age 12 1/2 and grew my pubic hair around 11 or 12 yrs of age. I have always menstruated normally and definitely have the breeder's hips of a woman. Yet, I know how each and every one of you feel that have posted messages. I still feel 'not whole' and not truly a woman, even though, logically I know that I am. I have run the gamut, too, over the yrs of herbal pills (a waste of money),padded bras,the whole bit. I would never have implants. I HAVE toyed with the idea but I am into healthy eating and am athletic... it wouldn't be wise in my opinion and, at this point, it wouldn't be "me". I started wearing the NuBra Breast enhancers for about a year and am surprisingly very happy with them. I got A's and was a little self conscious at first, but now, everyone at work is used to seeing me with a little bump and the self consciousness is gone. Plus, I love the feeling of something heavy in my bra! It's not THE ANSWER but it does help quite a bit. That's just my story. Thanks to all of you guys for your stories. This site has embedded the reality into my head that we ARE REAL women and just as valuable and desirable as anyone else out there. This is our small cross to bear, so we can relate to each other. Thanks again everyone. Big help.

I think I love a woman not because of breasts but because of who she is and it is great if you have small breasts to be confident about yourself that makes it easy for men to approach and talk to you. I know one lady that would repell anyone that was approaching her and her reason was she wasn't confident of her looks as in tiny breasts. But she is a great lady and very very warm to everyone except when it comes to relationship.

The entire 007B sites are wonderful and educational. The linkage of nude female bodies with sexuality is a relatively recent phenom in history.
By examining the images of women prior to about 1000BC, you will quickly realize that, until that time, a body was just a body. If a woman wanted to appear sexual, she needed to ACT sexual. She understood what she was doing .
Now we use clothing to entice the male gaze. A woman in sexy (or, most any) clothing, is using the clothing to project a message of sexuality. What is hidden is imagined and what is imagined is desired.
If anyone is interested in the history of female sexual modesty, I have a small synopsis with photos of images from antiquity.
Keep up the fine job !!

I spent high school being very tiny, very thin, and very flat-chested. I thought if I were curvy men would like me. i'm now 20, still short (5ft1) slim, but my breasts developed (very gradually!) to a 32C. so dont worry if your flat and under 18 you may well grow! now men like my body but it doesnt make them like me as a person anymore than before....they are still knobheads! haha, thus proving men are never going to love you for your breast tissue!

Liz

I really think this obsession with large breasts is stupid. I'm pretty old so you young girls probably don't care what I think but I think small is beautiful. Women with small breasts seem so much healthier, more comfortable and more fit and athletic. Don't wish for large breasts. They will grow and sag as you age and if you have children so you are better off with small ones. Just my opinion.

Mike

I actually came across this website looking for feedback on those breast enhancement pills. I wasn't entirely convinced and so far it looks like all of these sites promoting breast enhancing pills are total scams.

Anyway, I do not have much of a chest; I never have. I'm 5'2", somewhere between 98 - 102lbs and I've always been a small 32A. Now, I don't worry about them being too small to be attractive to a guy; I am upset about them constantly lowering my confidence and self-esteem. It never came from other people teasing me and I don't feel ugly just because of my breasts; I know the rest of me is pretty attractive. Even though I am quite skinny I have hips and curves and I have been asked out plenty of times. What is upsetting me is when I can't even find underwear that fits me in an ordinary catalogue or shop.

I go through a catalogue looking for bras and I will end up crying and giving myself a horrible headache. All the bras usually start at a large B cup, or if you're lucky a large A and even that isn't small enough to fit me. All the bras that do fit are padded and air-filled; it's as though everything is telling me "You're not big enough to be called a woman".

I am fed up of wearing padded bras because they always get dents and bumps after washing and they make it look as though my breasts are deformed. I always have to wear ugly and baggy clothes that cover this up.

I am fed up of wearing air-filled bras because it feels like I am lying to everyone. Those aren't my real boobs; just a bunch of air bags I tie to my chest every morning to feel like I'm whole.

Even when I go shopping I'll be out there for hours being told "Oh, sorry; we don't have a size THAT SMALL" over and over again. Even if I am able to find just one bra that actually fits, not only will I come back with less money, but several self-esteem points missing as well.

It's this whole society that is messing everything up. If you don't have a big penis; you're not a man. If you don't have big breasts; you're not a woman. Well, at least a guy doesn't get hinted at that he is too small when he's buying his underwear! At least he can still wear nice clothes that make him feel good about himself without worrying about them falling off or advertising how small he is to everyone.
...
I wish I could accept the fact that I have small breasts, but I just can't seem to do so when all the shops and catalogues are telling me that I'm too small all the time. And I definitely wouldn't want to go and have surgery. It's too risky and it wouldn't be a part of me. I would feel so ashamed of myself afterwards.

Sheyda

hi, I am from the very northern part russia. many people in the US tell me, russian girls and women are really flat. I am something inbetween A and B, A is too small, but B doen't fit me well. In russia, the guys did not pay nearly as much attention to breasts, (they seemed much more mature than those americans) because most were around the same size -- B was "normal" for a girl like me at the age of 16, and A was just as expected. Some had C, very small %. I am in grade 10, because I am left back to learn English, and even most freshmen have much more than I do. Some guy asked me to the prom but his friends pressured him to dump me.
PS. Veyr nice you bring up ethnicity diferences, please write more about it.

Nika

I am 14 and hav not got my period yet with juz a bit of breast bulking (sticking) out which is quite a discomfort for me when I stand with all my friends who have the perfect shape of breast. Yeah. I am very underweight , skinny bony. So I knew that I will be a little flat chested.. and want to hav a more "medium breasts"

But, after viewing this site and the comments of u guys here, I hav regain my confidence. I thought I was the only with small breast on earth. Thanks to this site which make me know that being flat chested is a kind of beauty in us with nothing to do with whether our breasts are big or small. It's juz our personality of beauty being express out, not the breasts. Thanks everyone!

I am so glad to have found this site. Sometimes it is hard to remember that there is more to onesself than the size of ones chest. If you are worried on how the opposite sex views you because of your breast size, please dont.Breasts do not equal woman. Breasts are a physical attribute of a woman. But there is so much more that makes a woman a woman. For example, her feminine qualities, her laugh, her charm, her wit,her intuitiveness,her compassionate nature, etc. I dont claim to be an expert on what men like and how they view us, but I have done some research. I know that men like a woman with a winning smile and warm eyes. Look at Audrey Hepburn for example. The whole world loved her. It definitely was not because of her huge breasts! She had none. Men fantasized about her, but it was because of how she made them feel in her presence, and most importantly how she felt about herself. How she felt about herself was conveyed to those around her in her behavior. She was and is one of America's classiest ladies. America fell in love with her face! Her big doe eyes and her cooked-toothed smile won many hearts. She was perky. She was happy. One of her beloved acquaintances once said that Audrey Hepburn could singlehandedly make breasts a thing of the past. It was a man who had said this.
Men view us physically in a way different from how we view ourselves. For example, I have a coworker friend of mine who one day pointed to a poster on the wall of three girls in swimsuits running along a sandy beach and said that I resembled the girl in the middle. This girl was a tall tanned brunette with good sized breasts. I am 5'6" and quite fair. Proof also of how critical we can be of ourselves. If thats how he sees me than that could be how many other men view similar small breasted women. Anyway, I hope you find this insightful and encouraging!

breasts are only one part of a woman,though a beautiful part ! largely ornamental for the large part of yr lives,they are only one part of the whole. small / flat breasts are beautiful,be proud of yr wonderful treasures,confidence is everything & will overcome any perceived physical shortcoming, celebrate yr bodies whatever form they take & celebrate life... !!!!

well...i think my boobs have shrunk... ive recently lost around 8 lbs... due to lack of an appetite probably from a break up...i currently weigh around 97 lbs.. I'm only 5'1 and I eat when I want to and dont when I'm not hungry... I dont have an eating disorder... but I was just wondering if its natural to lose breast size faster than other body weight, I'm 16 and I know that your supposed to eat healthy bla bla..but ive never had big breasts... I was just wondering about this... I doubt ill ever get some...but just thought it was worth a try

Generally, when you lose weight, you lose fat from your breasts proportionally to how much you lose fat from your whole body, BUT there are individual differences. Hope you will feel better some day and your appetite will return!

Hello, I'm 17 and I'm barely a 32A size. I really appreciate this site for being here, thank you so much for boosting my confidence. I have a problem with my bust but try not to let it get me down. I wear padded bras from M&S they can be comfy but I find the underwiring is awful because it causes the bra to rise when I lift my arms up... which isn't helped by the fact I need to put it on tighter settings to stay put with much adjusting involved!! So girls who are worried!! Don't worry please! It's a waste of emotion, I can understand it but not I think about it it's something so pointless to worry about. I have 3 horses, if I had huge breasts I would have such problems riding them, I could never fit into a body protector not be as flexible as I am now. So be proud of who you are, I do feel for Susannah who posted a comment about her very large breasts, it must be so hard to do things! But love yourself, that's been used a lot on here! I admire you lot you're all brilliant thanks again!

Isobel

All the girls who are feeling insecure about having small breasts, don't worry about it! It's really ok! I am 19, tall and thin, and like a size 32A or AA, and I absolutely love having small breasts! I admire people like Audrey Hepburn, Nicole Kidman, Claire Danes, Selma Blaire, the Olsen Twins; they all have small chests and are very beautiful. Look at ballet dancers, or even runway models these days!

You should feel very lucky for having a small chest, I do. No sagging, no back pain, you can wear little bikini tops without having to worry about support, and you don't have to wear a bra all the time. And I've found that guys like the way my body looks. When I go out, I always get lots of attention from guys, and LOL I've never had any complaints about my chest. Guys will like you if you're confident and feel good about yourself.

Elizabeth

hello I am 17 and I weigh 110lbs and I'm 5'3 and I wear a 34 D and it isnt a fun thing to have boobs... its so hard to find shirts that fit my waist and then my chest b/c it so much larger also dresses and swimming suits I have had many comments that I look like pamela anderson and I dont like that I am me not her and I have my own body and even times I catch guys staring uncontrolably and I just wish I would have had smaller I have been wearing a bra..not training .... since the 4th grade I had a DD in 8th grade lost weight and now have it down to a D and in 11th grade.. girls just be happy with your body...i know many guys who dont care and just want a confident women they think that is way more attractive then big breast..just be happy with who you are and give it time trust me they arent all they crack up to me:D

Im 13 and all of my friends have big boobs every time I say something about my tiny things they say you dotn have boobs and they laugh I want them to get bigger!!!! soon!!!!! Can I eat somthing that wil help them grow I heard that if you take your vitamins that helps and eat lots of apples! I havent triend that I dont want my self to look like a fool (although I already do, hint hint) but is they any way I can make them grow!

Tana
This is answered in our questions & answers page.

I just turned 14 in August and yes I do consider myself to have a flat chest (34A) but I read what you wrote and it doesn't really make me feel better about the way I look. I just want to know if there is still hope for me at least growing into a B cup in my high school years and I do consider myself to be skinny because I'm 5'5 and only weigh 115 lbs. My breats have grown one size since the past year too.

Kathy

Yes, your breasts may grow - time will tell. Actually an A-cup isn't a true flat chest. Please also read our breast development page.

I am a fifteen year old girl and often feel conscious about my "nubs" or very small breasts- 32A. And there are times when I get VERY jealous of my bigger breasted friends. For example, I bought a LOVELY red sweater that I thought really suited, but was very lowcut. When I tried it on, it looked okay... but then my best friend tried it on, and her C cup cleavage looked amazing. Made me feel very small indeed...
But then I looked again and saw that in other areas, I had a lovely body. For example, some people might think being small chested is awful, but I'm also 5 foot 8 and 112 pounds... a slim figure only slightly bigger than some supermodels. To some people, having this figure is wonderful.
Small breasts are all how you look on it... lots of lads I know admire breasts of all sizes. I think that most of the time a man will be so happy to see/feel your breasts, he won't care what size they are! They should be grateful, girls!
Small boobs are more elegant anyway- they don't get as saggy, generally stay firmer and look way more refined and classy in clothing, as well as the fact they make you look skinnier than you are. It's gotta help!

Hi
i am a male 20 y/o from Pakistan. After reading this thread I must disclose some secrets as Pak is developing country 'n we think that USA ppl are broadminded than us. Well exposure of boobs is really not a problem here u can easily breastfeed ur baby. Oh m getting off the topic Well my mom is 40 y/o old 5'4" height and 36AA breast she breastfeed me till the age of 5 years or lil later. Since the I opened my eyes in her lap I found her walking by topless in home and yard even in some picnic places as dad is working abroad and visit once in a year. At first I thought that she feels proud on her little boobs but after asking her I came to know that she hates to be flat chested and she have nothing to hide so called breasts. Some of my friends admired her breast so openly that she was bit convinced. I told her too that u 've a beautiful chest with long errect nipples 'n u fullfilled your task 'n fed me more than I deserve. Now since a year back she used to educating people about breasts and practicing topless lifestyle on yet in public but whenever she got chance she do even sometimes I don like the looks of some prevert teens staring at her breasts but she really don care she says that its their right their looks are hungry for such things. So I must says the girls out there that Flat chest is really good 'n guys do attract towards them all my uncles , teachers 'n friends admires my mom's size so u girls also gain some confidence and believe me u r perfect. (Please do pubilsh this as I think i'll help alot of people)

I'm 47 now and as flat chested as ever. Over the years, my confidence has grown; I have tried every padded and non-padded option and learned to just be comfortable with who I am. I joke and tease about it to put my friends at ease and they love that and tease me back. I breastfed three children, no problem, and in fact seemed to have more milk than anybody I knew...my posture, once hunched to hide my chest, has grown beautifully in the past decade with yoga and pilates...and NOW at my age, all those large breasted women are started to sag and complain about not being able to jog, etc (I am in much better physical shape than many women my age because running with a flat chest is GREAT)...basically, teen years are the hardest, but put your focus on being a strong wonderful confident person, stand up straight, and forget the pressures. DON"T DO IMPLANTS, a false and dangerous way to go. Don't let society rule. Run your own life and thank god you're flat chested instead of a quadriplegic.

frances

I am 15 years old and I got my period when I was 9 years oold. My breasts are pointy and small. I am a 12A my mum and I are the same size bra but I look smaller. My friends have bigger breasts than me and they tease me about it. When will my breasts get big?I want to be a 12C at least.

Danielle

HIYA, I AM 13, NEARLY 14 BUT I'M NOT EVEN WEARIN' A PROPA BRA! AM I A FREAK? MY M8 HAS RLLY BIG BOOBS! PLS HELP!

JENNY S

No, you're not a freak. Breast development starts with breast buds in the beginning of puberty, and continues for a few years after you get your period. If you end up with small breasts, that is quite fine and normal! Visit also the page about Breast development, and other teens' comments on that page.

Here's a suggestion I have not seen on your site and which can be a big self confidence booster: Weight training. While I am barely a 36A and spent far too long being unhappy with my body, I have begun weight training in the last few years. I lift moderately three times a week and have found upper body exercises can really define your chest area and give you a "lift" no matter what your size. I am 32 now and finally feel much better about myself. Sad to say I spent many unhappy teen and young adult years comparing myself to friends and media ideals of beauty. I consequently felt low self esteem and I know my grades in high school and college suffered for it. Additionally, I never fully believed any man who told me my breasts were beautiful. Now, I am more inclined to believe it. Accept yourself, and above all, be grateful for your health and your life.

Just a note to say that as a man, I have always adored small breasts (or medium or whatever). I find breast implants almost always repulsive and push-up bras seem to contort breasts into unattractive shapes... they become immobile, hard, nippleless things. yuck. I am aware of some male friends who value large breasts, but I know just as many friends who either don't care or actually prefer a smaller bust. Also, I have seen assymetric breasts, dark nipples, hairy or inverted nipples, and other variations, and I have always found them beautiful in whatever their natural state, so my recommendation is to just not worry about it.

Ed

I'm an Asian gal who is turning 18 this year and my bra size is 34A. This ' busty' issue used to bug me quite a lot, although I'm not flat, I do wish I had bigger breasts. People always expect girls to be at least a B-cup size, it's not really fair to judge us this way. It's annoying that the shops do not sell many nice padded bras that are smaller than B-cup. I often get stares from the bra shop people when I ask for a 34A cup bra. I am really fed up with this kind of treatment.
Atually, it's the way we think that affects our confidence level. We can either be ashamed of our bodies and hang our heads low, or be proud of who we are, accept our body. Everyone has different body shapes and bra sizes. I may be small-chested, but I have a nice slim body that many people admire. I hope girls who are like me can be confident of their own bodies.

phoebe

hi,i'm 16 and I got my peiod when I was 13.my breast size hasn't increased since then.is therea any chance for them to grow.i have heard of a breast enhancement massager which stimulates the growth hormone in the breast how effective is it?
tanmayee

Your breasts may still fill out a little as you approach your early twenties... Many girls get kind of more feminine curves around that time.
The massager thing sounds like a scam, sorry.

i was really looking for a site to make my boobs bigger like a dieting pill or somthing but instead I found self confidence and I really mean. I am 14 years old and am very happy.

I got my period when I was 11, and all through junior high and high school, I had smalllll boobs. Now a freshman in college, I wear a 34A (if that...sometimes even those are too big) but the beautiful thing about having a small chest is that you don't even have to wear a bra at all...I went to Spain this summer and while everyone else was sweating it out in the 115 degree heat, I was doing fine with it all hanging out... ) My point is, I am not an unattractive or unhappy person because of the size of my breasts. I found a man who was more interested in my mind than my cup size, and though I sometimes have trouble finding clothes that fit, I have found a gem in 1920s inspired clothing (for formals and proms and stuff, I love Sue Wong). In the 20s, flappers would bind their breasts to get that boyish look about them- can you imagine? At one time, OUR figures were the ones that people wanted. Embrace your boobs! It is too much hard work and too much heartache to hate your body. This is the only one you will ever have- so love it! Breasts are beautiful, no matter what size.

I'm always amazed at how insecure women can be about themselves. Western society does make it harder on women but men have insecurities too. Many men are just as insecure about their penis size as women are about their breast size, if not more so. Most guys are truly unaware of how they compare with other guys and thus are insecure about it. A personality trait that I find most attractive is self confidence. A lot you small breasted women that have a hard time meeting guys are probably lacking self confidence. Your troubles stem from your need for self acceptance not your small breasts. I�m a 25 yr old good looking guy (6.1 tall 220 lbs.) and I�ve always been attracted to small breasted women. I�ve dated a good number of women in my life and almost all of them have had a below average chest size. Although I�ve never dated a flat chested woman, I have met some truly beautiful flat chest women. I once worked with a truly flat chested woman. I had the biggest crush on her. She had a beautiful smile and piercing eyes. Her personality really clicked with mine. Although she had an absolutely flat chest, I don�t think she had any insecurities about it. She had a real sense of self acceptance and an ability to make anyone feel comfortable around her because of it. Her only visible flaw was that she married the wrong guy. Although I later become friends with her husband I do think her life would have been better if she had only met me a year sooner:)

Andrew

I'm 13 going on 14 and I am flat chested. Some girls at school keep making fun of my flatness because i'm still wearing training bras while they are already fitting into C or D cups. All these comments are great and everything and it really helped me with boosting my confidence in my own body but sometimes, I just can't help but think if I am normal or whether I will grow up with stereotypically "normal" breasts.

Michi

Dear girls, don't you make yourself feel small just coz of your boob size!! I perfectly understand the pressure in today's society to have big perky boobs just like everyone else. I am 25 years old, and trust me.. I have spent the last 13 years trying to find some kind of peace and fulfillment in my life, just like everyone of you small girls out there. I barely fit into a 32A, and I don't even have a bra size to claim my own! So I totally understand the meaning of being flat-chested.. I don't even have cleavage when I push my boobs together! So cheer up... you're not the only ones! Don't hate yourself becoz you have small boobs.. don't let what people say about you ruin your self-image! Don't they say smaller boobied girls have low self-esteem and they're not as out-going as "normal" girls? Well let's come on and build that self-esteem up! Coz you should be treated just as normal as everyone else out there!! So who cares if you have to wear a bra that's twice your size! Nobody will ever understand why we're trying to lie to everyone else, so nobody has to know! Sorry to say, society has driven us to wearing padded bras.. so there you have it, society...I have bigger boobs!! No one has to know if we're cheating. My point is do what you have to do.. TIL you feel comfortable with your own body.. easier said than done you must think.. I lived every single day of my life growing up preparing myself for boob implants, but today I hardly think about them. I wear unpadded 32A bralettes about my house to feel comfortable in them even though I look small! Now, they make me feel sexy! I am beginning to love them and how cute they are more and more! I've met this wonderful man who LOVES my boobies despite how PUNY they are! And he has taught me that having smaller boobs could have never been more perfect becoz it makes me the woman I am today. Nobody gets to love them up except for your one and only man! So in the meanwhile, love your boobs up yourself til you get a man who will love them too... Small boobs aren't bad ladies ok? It's not the end of the world... there's more to life than boobs. There's commitment to love, to your work, to yourself, to your kids,.. there's more to fulfillment in your life! pretty soon you will be telling this life-enhancing speech to your small-boobied daughters too. Love yourselves girls! Coz to a man, TRUST ME, that is WAY more attractive than any big boobies in the world!!

Hi, I just turn 15 in september and I started my period in june ( that just pass) and I have breast that's growing but its small, (really small) and sometimes get I scared being around my best friend because her breasts are big (and I mean big) and my breast are still the same since I was in the 7th grade.( i'm in the 9th. I cant even wear a regular bra, I wear sports bra and I don't like it. I hate going out in public cause my all my friends have bigger boobs then I do. and my mother and grandmother have big boobs (theres are 36 ds) will my breast ever grow because boys are making me cry and I cant handle it.

shanel

Breasts will usually develop for a few years after a girl gets menstruation. Some girls get yet a little fuller look to their breasts in their early twenties. It is those boys that need to grow up, if they're teasing you. It is just fine to have small breasts! D or DD size breasts often bring their own problems. Not everybody has the same size breasts, because there is lots of variation. And every girl can be attractive, no matter what the breast size.

Thank You very much for this website! I have a girl friend who is flat chested whom I'm want to marry and live happyily.... I used to have the big breast fetish, but after I fell in love with her, I cant imagine anyone else in her place. Just wanted to get rid of my fixation for breasts and Your site surely got rid of it...Im soo grateful...Thank You once again

I'm 17, an a short 5'1" and 92lbs...and yes, i'm flat-chested. I look like a 10-year-old. i'm gonna have to agree with Andrea, who commented earlier.

Yes, although I appreciate this website for telling us how being flat-chested doesn't matter because one's self-worth can be measured by other more important things... but I'm only human, and a teenage female at that. Most humans want to look good (although the degree of vanity of course differs), I'm no exception. Clothes don't look good on me...... and my little bloated tummy just makes me look flatter, in fact, it potrudes out even more than my chest.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not obsessed with my flatness, I live my life, study, hang out with friends and do all the normal stuff, but it does bug me, if you get what I mean.

And at the end of the day, I wished I at least were an A-cup, and not flat. (no, I don't consider A-cups flat because my body is the true definition of 'flat')

Sigh. Oh well. Life goes on, doesn't it?

Yes. Fortunately life goes on and has lots to offer! Just think about handicapped people, they can have hard time, or simply cannot do many things we consider normal, like study and get an occupation. Possibly they can't have kids, or jog in the woods. Or blind people can't see a pretty sunset or enjoy paintings. (This is not against blind or handicapped people.) I know it's difficult, but life can be so much easier and happier, if one can be thankful for what one has.

I am 14 years old and I am a 32A. I hate being this size because you cant do anything, "I hate it". My weight is 95 and I dont know what the problem is to my breast. I'm just so depressed about having a small chest. I've been wanting for my chest to grow but they won't grow. I have friends at school that has a big chest and I asked them, How did your chest grow so big? They said by eating corn and they will start to ich and that means that there growing. And I said did you eat corn to make your grow and some said yes and some said no so I really dont know what to believe.

Hello Chanele,
Thanks for writing in! It really sounds like your breasts are JUST FINE! Being size A is nothing to be ashamed about. And, you're only 14 so yours will probably still grow a little bit. Also it sounds you're skinny, and skinny people often have smaller breasts than overweight people. So don't worry about it, just let your body grow.

Eating corn has NOTHING to do with breast size. Breast size is determined by your genes. Itching is a sign of the skin stretching, so yes, that is a sign that the breast might be growing.

I just wanted to say that I am a good looking 21 year old male, with a totally healhty sexual appetite, and am more drawn to small or no chests than large ones. My fiancee is 32A and I have always prefered the smaller the better.
I used to think I was alone in this, a freak male, until last summer working construction when a guy pointed out a girl with HUGE breasts. I commented they didn't interest me, adn he agreed they weren't a turn on, but a freak of nature. He then confided that he prefers small breasts. His wife (who I met later) is about 30-33A herself (my guess). Since then I have not been ashamed, and found out there are lots of guys looking for smaller than average, or no breasts. The thing is that guys like anything. Big/little breasts, bald/hairy vaginas, blue/brown eyes.
Take what yOu got and go with it. And don't be afraid to look good with what you got. Maybe don't wear the tightest shirt you can find, but don't don't only wear loose sweaters either. And one more comment. Puch up bras are worn by girls with large breasts, why do girls with little breasts often avoid these styles of bras? I have found many girls with small breasts will not wear push up bras, yet are ashamed of their size. If a C cup can wear them to make them look bigger so can you.
What I am trying to say is don't be ashamed. There are guys out there that would love to get to know you, and would be in love with your small breasts.

as a small chested woman i've struggled for years with my size. so much that I have found myself judging other women on their size..like I never want to hang out with large breasted women out of jealosy and that I know I will look bad in comparison..i refuse to have plastic surgery because I think its stupid to put a forien object in your body.there are sooo many risks including capsular constriction, scarring and fungus and microbes that can grow in saline implants..any girl who is considering this (and I did for a long time) should really do research. think about this ..i've worked in the medical field..saline has an experation date.

I am 20 years old and I bearly fit into a 34A. I've had a hard time making friends since I moved to town and I know people would like me more if I was at least a B cup. Ive stuffed my bra to that size and the way I feal looking in the mirror is that I look like a more loving, friendly person. With my normal size I look less friendly and more like a kid. I hate this so much. I want to stuff my bra so I can get guys and make friends easier but when I do It makes me so uncomfortable knowing that I'm lying to every one, that I cant do it. I read somewhere that flat chested girls are percevied to be less friendly and big busted women, more friendly. Guys are attracted to breasts and if I had them I would be perfect and happy.

Hi Annie,
There may be stereotypes like that, but the truth is this depends much MORE on your attitudes, disposition, smiles, how YOU treat people etc. than it depends on your outward appearance. Bein gattractive has a lot to do with how happy and joyful and friendly you show yourself to be to others around you. So if you can throw aside the breast issue and be a jolly enthusiastic yourself without worrying about that, acting kind to others, then people will see you as friendly and loving. Can you imagine anyone being attracted to a sour gloomy big-busted woman? So cheer up and be confident in yourself! It's what inside that counts so show it to others.

I came across this site because I was looking for an explanation for my HUGE breasts...

Is it hormones? psychosocial growth? genetics? I don't know but they sure do humiliate me: stop me from running across the road, wearing dresses, jackets, folding my arms, putting my arms around me knees when I am sitting down without holding my breath(!)

I am not saying I would like to be flat chested, but big boobs are horrific.

If yours is a case of huge gigantous breasts, the medical circles use the terms macromastia, gigantomastia, or virginal hypertrophy for it, and you can find more information if you search the internet for those terms. They seem to say that cause is unknown, and speculated to be some extra sensitivity of the breast tissue to estrogen.

I am a 27 year old completing training as a physician. I've never fit into an A cup comfortably. Throughout college and medical school, I was proud to be able to wear tank tops without bras and often wore tank-style bras similar to the 'training' bra... However, when I got married, I had to wear lifts to keep my strapless dress in place without major alterations. I liked it so much that I continued wearing gel lifts in my bra. Despite the fact that I am confident in my relationship and my profession, the lifts allow me to not worry about whether fitted shirts actually fit or if my head surgeon will mistake me for a male when I have my mask and scrubs on. My friends all know about it... I'm proud of my body and what it can do but sometimes it is easier to go with the flow and stop thinking about my boobs.

I hope my comments can help some who read this page feel a bit more comfortable about themselves. I would never even say a woman has a flat chest or small breasts because generally in our society the word small carries negative connotations. Many comments on this site talk about "if you have small breasts just accept who you are and move on" But I think deep down this kind of advice further hurts the people who have to deal with negativity when there at school or work or anywhere. But I don't even categorize breasts by size in the first place whether its to be rude or even to be positive. And I think its this kind of mind set that some women are looking for: one which makes the issue non-exsistent.

flat chested women are beautiful! you young women, don't bring on more pressures in your life than you already have. I had a friend who worried about his height. he was short all through high school. then he grew way taller the 1st year after high school. very tall! as my friend learned, your breasts are not as important as your heart. he had a big heart all through high school.
as for me, I prefer a small breasted woman.

Breasts are just part of the female anatomy. No matter what size or shape they come in, we have to learn to accept our own body. Nobody is perfect! If u dont learn to love your body, who will?

im 15 and I'm not going to complain about how flat I am (even though I am) because it would just be the same as every other letter in here, but I do want to let you know that even though your website means good by saying everyones beautiful, and a man loves you for who are not how much breast tissue you have! I think I can speak for everyone, it doesn't make us feel very satisfied, I mean I KNOW i'm not abnormal, I just want to look better. Thanxs for being honest that there really are no alternatives to breast implants or pills but it doesn't help much.

andrea

Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us small- and flat-chested girls and women put our padded bras away and wore clothing that showed our pride in our shapes as they are? What an incredible, brave, political statement that would be! Not only would we all feel better knowing that every woman isn't a B cup or bigger, but everybody else would stop thinking that every woman "has" to be busty. Maybe we should designate a day: Leave Your Wonderbra At Home Day.

I'm really sick of the way people make fun of flat-chested women. It makes me angry because there is beauty in diversity & hardly anyone appreciates that anymore. Now it's all about looking/being like everybody else, every other woman or girl out there...large breasts, fake tan, piercings, tattoos, highlights, same clothes, etc.

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with those things, per se... but it's unsettling when it seems like everyone's either a copycat or a clone. Being flat-chested is a paradox in my mind. You can either hate it & try to fix it... or you can fix your attitude about your body. I have many, many days where I feel uncomfortable in public without my trusty padded bra. I will admit to stuffing my bra at times. And yes, all my insecurities come to the forefront at the sight of large breasts. However, I have self-confidence in other ways. I'm a very pretty girl in my own way, I'm intelligent, articulate, witty, spunky, fun-loving, unique. I look good in whatever I wear.

So I'd like to share some uplifting thoughts I have with all the other girls/women who have felt low about their flat chests. I hope this will inspire you to feel a bit better, & know that there are people like you!
