What does it mean being flat-chested?Sometimes a woman's breasts don't develop much during puberty but she remains "flat-chested" - without any or much palpable breast tissue. Typically, flat-chested girls do have a nipple that looks swollen or elevated, but for some reason the breasts don't grow in size at all. Flat-chested girls do get pubic hair and start menstruating just normally AND their breasts do have milk glands - it's just that the breasts don't grow in size like most girls. Unfortunately experts like doctors and lactation consultants don't really know WHY this takes place. It IS known that typically flat-chested women's hormone levels are just fine and they can often successfully breastfeed, so it may be that this represents a problem in the connective tissue inside the breast and not in the actual duct / alveoli system of the breast. It has been suggested that maybe flat-chested women's breast tissue is insensitive to normal levels of circulating hormones. But no matter what the cause, it won't hurt to eat healthy so as to give your body the best chance to have everything working properly. During pregnancy the breasts do usually develop more and grow in size, and flat-chested women CAN breastfeed and produce milk. A totally flat woman's breasts can grow to a A or even B cup during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. However, obviously with small 'storage space' the baby might need to nurse quite often. Am I abnormal or deformed?A flat chested woman is not abnormal in the sense that her breasts are functional and can make milk. She's also not abnormal in the sense that there are many many other women out there with a flat chest (or almost that). They typically used padded bras so you don't necessarily notice it from outside unless you know the person. It is true that a flat-chested woman's breasts did not develop as most women's, and lack the fatness, but like already noted, it is not known why this is. Are you truly flat-chested?We receive seemingly an endless stream of comments from "flat-chested" teenagers who are very worried about their breast growth. For example
First of all, many of these girls mention being almost an A cup or so - which is not flat-chested. It may be small breasts, but not truly flat-chested. Secondly, if you're a teenager - and especially if you haven't yet gotten your periods or just recently got them - your breasts are probably still developing and growing, and it's too early to know if you're going to be a true flat-chest. Another reason why teenagers sometimes have up size A or AA is if they're dieting a lot or even anorexic. So make sure you eat well and healthy; women who are underweight usually have very small breasts. A fatless skinny body means no fat in the breasts either.
USUALLY, flat chested girls' nipple grows bigger or looks 'swollen'. If that is not the case, and f you got your period fairly late... or especially if the period has not yet started at 16, there is a possibility of some hormonal disorder or delayed puberty for some reason. It is advisable to see a doctor. See also Delayed puberty at KidsHealth.Org and Delayed Puberty at Keepkidshealthy.com. Breasts grow during pregnancy and breastfeedingYour breasts may be very small before pregnancy, but they do grow enormously during pregnancy, and are even larger during breastfeeding. See this progression of pictures that someone sent in to us. The lady exclusively breastfed her baby till she was 5.5 months, and was continuing to breastfeed at 22 months.

Hey, I hope this can help some of you out there Including my self.
I am 23 and my chest is 29 1/2 inches around with very small breasts. I am married (going on 8 years) with two beautiful daughters. I have always hated my breasts-love my body, just not my breasts. I've even considered just walking around with no shirt like men do- cuz I often feel no different. I've always been convinced that all men like bigger breasts than I have. I have my ups and downs, some times my downs are longer than my ups especially in summer. I don't wear padded bras, rarely do I wear bras at all! I feel fake with padding on my chest- Not fake to everyone, just to me. I am bigger than that. Not to say that padded bras are bad, or that you shouldn't wear them, I just can't.
My oldest sister (I am one with eight sisters) had implants for eight years, and just had them taken out. I also can't bring myself to get implants. I have made my life and my family's life miserable at times because I didn't know how to accept myself. I wonder now how all those horrible outings with friends, or swimming pool parties would have been if I had just been happy with me. I have always felt 2nd to all the other girls because of what I used to call My deformity. I have found that people can and will be harsh especially about something they don't understand themselves. And many women need to put other women down in some way to feel adequate about themselves- it is what it is. I now do affirmations to myself every day in the mirror. I say I am perfect. I am beautiful with a sensual body. Some days this is what gets my day to be great, some days not so much, but I do it anyways, everyday. Be true to you and you will be the greatest you there is. This is a hard concept to grasp, but the truth is you are what you think. Today's thoughts are tomorrows will be's. Think of yourself the way you want to be, others will either follow or fall away. None of that is going to change who you are. It hasn't me. I am still me. I am still a being of light, love, and compassion. I am and always will be me. Find who you are and maybe this concern of phsical attributes will fall away.

There is nothing wrong with being flat-chested or having small breast size. I'm a 19 year-old guy and I myself don't think it makes much of a difference because attitude goes a lot farther for me than big breasts. So chin up, girls, and be happy with what God gave you. If your man doesn't accept you for who you are and what you have, maybe you should consider if he's really the guy for you. Good luck and cheer up. Most girls dont realize that even though they may have small breasts, they may have other things that are turn ons for guys, like sparkling eyes, radiant smiles, or just good attitudes. Bye and cheer up, and if you can't tell, I don't mind if my girl has small breasts or not, I rather prefer smaller size I think they are cuter.

I enjoy this site... I have always been "flat chested" -34 AA- (thought I would grow in my teen years, but at 26... just don't care anymore)... I have never had an issue with any man... in fact I believe that my "not so there chest" has helped aid men in looking at everything else that I have to offer. Who wants to be woman who a man choses due to breast size? Besides that, I never have to worry about having sagging breasts or severe back pain. A personality of energy, intelligence, and confidence are what a man wants... (what woman here judges a man on his size?)

I am 16 years old and I am completely flatchested. I have had my period since I was 14 and my breast haven't grown a bit. I barely fit in a 32 AA and I'm very self-conscious about it. I have not met a single girl that is flat as I am in my life. I know people tell me that it's okay to be flat chested and I just have to deal with it. The people that tell me that have developed breast and they don't know how it feels not to have breast so I'm sick and tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. It doesnt change my feelings! If you were in my position then you would understand, don't say that being flatchested is okay when it's not. Having breasts is something a woman should have.
I just don't know what to do anymore...
melanieHello Melanie,
I won't claim that I know how it feels to be flat-chested. But, I have one bit of advise for you:
1) Give yourself some more time to come to grips with it. Try to concentrate on some other things for a while, such as sports (if you like them), or cooking, or your future career, etc. Whatever you enjoy doing or studying. Sports is the one thing that large-breasted women often complain they can't do comfortably. You can.
2) Then periodically (every few months) come back to these two pages to read other flat-chested women's comments, and to re-read them. THEY CAN help you!
What does it mean to be flat-chested, part 1 and What does it mean to be flat-chested, part 1.
All the best!
MariaWow ! Since I posted that comment and read the other responses I've come to realize that I'm not alone. I'm now very comfortable with my body and I've found a confidence in me I've never had, I actually feel attractive! This site has helped me overcome this problem I've been uncomfortable for a while now THANKS sooooo much.

I'm 15.. older than most of my friends but they look at me as the younger girl. I'm not too short (5'4") and about 100 lbs. I'm a size 34 A and all my friends are Bs or Cs. My 20 year old sister was size C in high school. My half-sister is still small and in her twenties. I used to get made fun of until I started laughing and going along with it. Once I got into high school, everyone forgot about it and now i'm actually kinda popular. I still worry about wearing a swimsuit because I have a completely flat chest and wish it was bigger. I think if I just forget about it and let it go, then i'll feel a lot better about myself and hey, maybe someday I won't be so flat.
By the way... people think me and my 12 year old sister are the same age. And, I still get kids menus and stuff like that. It's not fun but hey, when me and my friends are old maybe i'll still look younger than everyone else. :]
Ughh
I'm 26, 155 pounds, and I don't fill out an A cup. I've never seen an AA bra in my life, but maybe that's because I live in the middle of nowhere, and I've never really sought one. I've never thought about my own breasts as a sexual thing. [...] It took me a long time to accept that I wasn't going to fully develop. Even at 19 years old, I thought I would be a very late bloomer. I had even read an article in a magazine about a man whose hormones switched gears on him, and he developed breasts, his body hair became finer, and his testicles shrank. I thought if it could happen to him, it could happen to me, it was only a matter of time. But alas, at 21 years old I came to grips with the reality that my tummy would always stick out further than my breasts. People would make jokes in good humor, and I would only lash out at them. It was not something I took lightly. Whenever I meet women, or see them on television or magazines, I find myself studying their breasts and comparing myself. I can't help it. I coveted them for so long, it's hard to let it go. I've considered breast implants, and was beginning to see them as my only entry to a proportionate and sexually fulfilling life. Then, just recently, I heard a man on television comment that he liked women's breasts "as flat as a pancake". I was shocked. Only once before, when I was about 6, had I heard anything about men liking smaller breasts, and that was from my grandma. She told me in Brazil men liked small breasts and big butts (not that she had ever been there). Now I have come across this website, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has posted their positive commentary. Now I can see that there are so many men and women that can make up their own minds about what is feminine and sexy. In my whole life I have only met-face to face- one other girl with breasts as small as mine (and believe me, I've been lookin' for 'em), and she was about 50 pounds lighter than me. I felt painfully alone. I just wanted to say that this commentary, esp. the men's, has brought tears to my eyes, and I believe that something like this only shatters our negative self images. There is nothing worse than feeling that you are alone and unwanted.

I am glad to have found this site, to be 100% honest, no one, with the exception of my beloved boyfriend knows the truth. I am a very small chested woman. Almost nothing there at all. I am 21 years old and yes I am very undreweight, 106 lbs 5' 3". I have tried many options to increase my bust size, all except surgery. Throughout my teen years, when I should have been developing, I was in a coma, in and out of the hospital. I have always blamed my shape on that because I know that is the time that is most critical in breast development. I am much more comfortable with myself now, after all these years, but I am not sure I will ever be 100% because I do not feel like a woman, more like a small boy. I do wear padded bras and no one really knows, but it's a hard thing to take your bra off and show a guy for the first time. I am very lucky to have my boyfriend who accepts me for who I am.

Whoever created this site is really helping and calming down a lot of teenagers including me... but I am kind of sad that I have small breasts.... but I guess it's okay since you can't really do much aboutt it... Anyways, it's a really good site and makes you feel calm whichever kind of breasts you have... really liked it...!!
As a 22-year old who is flat chested and has an older sister who is also flat-chested, while my other 2 sisters are a B-cup and C-cup. Growing up I was always jealous of them because they had breasts and everyone else who had breasts. I always worried that because I was skinny and was flat-chested, no guy will ever like me but for me. Now though it does still suck not having breast and being skinny, there are more important things in life than not having breasts, and I know that one day I will find that guy who will love me for me. But first I need to gain weight.

Oh, my, so much angst among the teenage comments on this page!
I thank God for age and hindsight. My story... at 12, mom took me to get my first training bra... I wore it for about a year waiting for something to grow that I could put in it. By the time I was 14, I was fed up with wearing that stupid itchy harness, and stopped. I was flat-chested all through high school and college, and still am, at the age of 31! People made fun of me, which people will do, because they are stupid, but you survive. They say the best revenge is living well, and it is... it also helps to be able to make fun of yourself--then you steal your heckler's thunder.
In my early twenties, I gained a new appreciation of my physical self and my looks (including my itty-bitties), and began to enjoy myself for the first time in my life. Men began noticing me. One very sweet and wonderful man married me, and the dress fitter for my wedding was scandalized when I told her I didn't wear a bra. She asked my bra size and I said I didn't know. I still don't know. I have never been fitted for a bra, not since that stupid trainer, so I have no idea how "big " I am, but I suspect it's a 32 A or AA.
Now I look at women and their breasts, and still envy (just a little) the girls with nice "handful-sized" breasts. But mostly I am happy with who I am and what I've been given. Smaller breasts are supposed to be more sensitive, and my husband will attest to this! Also, find women who look like you in the boob department to look up to. I love Debra Messing, I think she is beautiful, smart, and fabulous!

Hi everybody!!
After reading all the comments on this page, I must admit that I feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one with a flat chest on the planet!! I'm 21 and to be honest I've been flat chested since I can remember, probably am a 32AA! It's one of those things that always bothers me in the back of my mind and frankly is a pretty big issue for me, especially being a woman in this day and age...... But after reading all these comments I suppose I should try n make peace with it and if I cant.. well there are always other options!! It comes down to making the right choice for yourself... whether it's using padded bras, unpadded bras, considering surgery or just being as you are... Hope you'll do what makes YOU feel sexy and special!!

Wow, so good to see there are other out there like me. I'm 24 about 130lbs and have had 2 children. I am truly flat chested, wearing a 32AA. Having children did not increase my breast size at all, and to the bafflement of lactation consultants I was only able to produce 1 oz of milk an hour. I've learned to live with it, and occasionally wear a padded bra when wearing a dress that requires it, because the breasts lines look noticeably, well.. sunken, lol. Hubby of five years love them. So I'm happy.

I'm 23 years old and in the US Navy and will be for life. I'm in great shape and feel great. This info would be for the ladies that feel insecure about their breasts being like in the A size and such. I have always loved small breasted women. To read some of this has shocked me, I had no idea girls were THAT bothered by their small breast size, I prefer it like some guys prefer larger ones. I noticed a lot of girls saying that they were messed with because they don't have full breasts. Men that think that way are a waste of your life. And any girl that would say that to hurt you is a b****. Love yourself; you're beautiful!

I really don't know what size I am anymore. A couple days ago I read about the "band/cup relation" and went out and tried on a different bra, completely different size. My most comfortable bra is a 34A, and I don't fill it out all the way, but it's close to my body so it doesn't make me feel like I have no boobs. Then I went out and found this 32B, which was a huge shock because I can never fill out even the nearly A bras. It's really tight around the ribs, but it feels GREAT being able to fill in a cup. I've been fitted at victoria's secret, and they say "oh, you're this size, but we don't have it, so here, try on this one, it should be just as good." So I've given up on being fitted there, since all they seem to want is the sale, not to actually recommend a properly fitting bra.
I'm tiny all over. 5'6" and about 100 lbs. I've always been small, I'm not anorexic (though I am a very picky eater). The only curve I seem to have are my hips, which aren't much, but they give my waist a curve. I don't have a butt either.
I've found a wonderful man, who I've been with for over a year, accepts me the way I am. In fact, he hates it when I say I want bigger boobs. He says they're fine and that he loves them, because they're a part of me. His last girlfriend had bigger boobs (and bigger everything, since I'm so small). He said there's really not much good about having big boobs, that they are always in the way when you hug and stuff. Then I went off thinking about it, and boobs are just blobs of fat sitting on your chest. Not something to envy, nor something to distain. It's your body, in all it's uniqueness.

I was 10 when I started getting breast's and 11 when I started my period. But after I turned 12, my extremely slowly growing chest came to a halt. My mom is COMPLETELY flat. I am "lucky" enough to fill a AA. I am 19 now and all my Junior high and high school years I was picked on. I'm married now, and though my husband says he loves me the way I am, I still feel like I cannot give him what every husband is "supposed" to have. I've been checking into implants, but I decided last night that it's just way to risky.
It's so nice to know that I am not alone. Shopping for bras and a sexy things is very hard. I usually end up sticking a small sock in the cups to make it fit. But I decided I would MUCH rather have a flat chest then large saggy breasts when I get old ;]
I think we all need to stop hiding our size. Maybe if everyone who is small chested decided to show it via no padding, no stuffing- we would realize how many of us there really are. And take pride in the fact that we are not alone.

I'm 21 and I'm extremely petite, I'm currently 94 lbs and I've never been able to go over 96 lbs. My metabolism is very fast so I'm thin all over, including my chest. I really don't know what size I am because I've never found a bra that fit me. I seriously considered breast augmentation, I only planned to go up to a B so I could fill in clothes, but after looking through doctors and before and after photos, I decided there was absolutely no way I was going through it. I could not find a single photo that looked normal and beautiful. I pride myself on the fact that I can exercise and run around without a bra and not get tired. I love sleeping flat on my stomach and not having to worry about my breasts getting in the way. If it means I have to pin and alter my clothes for the rest of my life, it's better than the pain of constant surgery.
I have been on birth control for the past year to alleviate monthly menstral pain and I have noticed an improvement in fullness since, I am filling in clothes better. Please don't try to take birth control as an attempt to make yourself bigger, I only take it to help with my deathly cramps every month, it was just a side effect I didn't know would happen. Remember, birth control has it's own list of side effects that aren't positive, let's be smart about it. They didn't make them bigger, just fuller, I am still no where near fitting into the smallest bra's they make.
Thanks to this site for posting real pictures of real women that are proud to be who they are. I especially appreciate those of the woman during pregnancy, my mother had the same side effect and went from an A Cup to a C Cup after three children, but she did not breast feed.
I love there is finally a place for girls and women to go to be proud of being normal women! Nobody should want to feel like water balloon replacements. =)
Much love, Kristen
I think this site gives an excellent understanding of womans breasts and that cup size don't matter. Your born with what you got and should be happy with that. I am a 34 A but don't quit fill out the cup & I have had two of my aunts have breast implants & I think that its sad they couldnt be happy with their bodies. Media is a big cause of this. People grow up believing big is beautiful when it comes to breasts because of what they hear on TV or read and it's so shallow. You shouldn't care what others think because if people can't like your body the way it is they are not the kind of person you need to be around. All I can say is be confident in your breasts and use them to breastfeed like they were meant for!

Hi! I am 16 years old. I am worried because I am almost flat chested and havent seen hardly any change in my breast development since 7th grade. I started my period when I was 13 but it is still irregular. I am embarrassed going swimming because although I wear a padded bikini it hardly gives me any shape and I worry I am the only one like this. my mother told me to wait a bit longer as she was the same and is now size 38b. but sometimes I fear I may never develop.how much longer should I wait? Is this normal?t hanks!!
Anna
Hello Anna,
If your mom was a late bloomer as regards to breasts, then you might be too. In some girls breasts do develop later on.If your period is still irregular, that might be something to look into. If your period is irregular, you may not be ovulating.
If you don't ovulate, your ovaries won't produce progesterone. If your ovaries won't produce progesterone, your breast glands won't develop fully now. (They can do that, though, during pregnancy.)
Could you suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
Do you eat normally and get good nutrition? Are you normal weight?
One herb that may be helfup for regulating periods is called maca.Hopefully you can get some ideas to investigate the situation with your period some more.
Hey Guys, well im 18..totally underweight..85 to be exact....im FLAT CHESTED!! and I mean FLAT...ever since 6th grade I been stuffing my bra with tissues..as years goes by I put more in so it would look like I autully grow some...sadly I still do now...i alway wonder if anything was wrong with me..i feel soo hopeless and different all the time..recently I told my 2 and an half year BF the truth bout my Flat chest..he totally understand and he say he love me for who I am not what I look like.....reading all the comments make me feel better about myself..now I know im not the only one out there....ThankS!!
Amy
Hey every1!! Im 13 years old and im a A13, fair size. I've had lots of comments about my boobs from guys (perverted pigs...most of em) and I think they are big enough. When I was little I wanted big boobs like barbie and paris and every other supermodel you could think of.
I came here looking for a way to get my boobs bigger so people would like me more because im not like that much at my school. I can be an awful person and im violent and backstabbing. Instead of finding a way... I wound a will. I got something more powerful that breast size, I got confindence. I now realise that breast size is not important. Its the size of your heart. Its not what fills your bra, its what fills your mind... loving and kind thoughts that will make you liked more than big boobs. In my group of friends I HAD the biggest boobs. They all agreed with me on that. But I was also the worst friend. Thanx to all those ppl out there who posted these comments. Even tho u dont know me, I thank u for helping me to be a better person... and my boobs had no part in this. Thanx xxxx

This is a wonderful web-site that is full of caring and sharing. It sure did wonders for the way I think and feel about my body! I'm 28 and a small 12A, and the most annoying thing about it is clothes and bra shopping. However, my 10DD friend reckons she has a worse time than me. She and I have one thing in common - when we find that one bra in a million that fits, we seriously bulk-buy, just in case we happen to never, ever find one again and have to wear the same old bra for the rest of our lives! By the way, some contraceptive pills do actually increase breast size (just a bit), and the one that I took also improved my complexion. I'm sure they work better than herbal pills.
muah!
Hi guys and girls :)
Just wanted to let all the girls who're worried about their flat chests to stop worrying about it, and know that there are people out there (me included) that find flat chests to be very good-looking! Furthermore, it's who the girl is on the inside (personality etc.), not what's on the outside! My lady has a flat chest, but she's the most amazing girl I know! Beauty is on the inside, not the outside.
And to those thinking about implants; think twice. For one, they're damn expensive, and two, there's a chance they'll cause problems in the future!
Just know that there are guys out there who appreciate flat chests and small breasts :)
Nat
Thanks to all the women and men posting their comments here. These pages are good to read when I'm having my 'down' moments about the way I look.
I am 29 years old and am so lucky to have health and a decent face and body (although my breasts are tiny - I seem to weigh up at a 34AAA and can only buy underwear online). However I still feel inadequate as a woman sometimes, especially as my sternum protrudes farther than my breasts do so all that can be seen from the side is my bony chest sticking out!!
During these times I make myself think about how lucky I am in other ways (having shapely legs, or a great bone structure) and encourage myself to love my breasts and enjoy their pre-pubescent appearance. It's funny that young womens' bodies are said to be the most beautiful, so us 'flatties' should relish the fact that our bodies will appear younger throughout our lives. They won't sag and droop, and they'll certainly never reach our knees.
The big-breasted-beauty next door, or behind the bar will only look pneumatic for so long, and it will be more difficult for these women to maintain their shape and their confidence as they get older and lose those attributes that they have relied on for so long. So in a funny way, us flat chested women will be far more attractive as we have accepted ourselves and learned how to make the most of our attributes.
So, shoulders back, chins up and slap that smile on.

I'm 17 years old and have always been a naturally small girl, I'm 5'6 and 115 pounds, I didn't have anything at all to put in a bra until I was in the 8th grade, now I'm a junior in high school and I'm a 34 B, so all you younger girls hoping you'll get bigger as you grow older, there is still hope, don't be so hard on yourselves, besides small breasted women are beautiful!!!

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.

It's comforting to know I am not alone. I have days that I am not bothered by my flat chest (right side AA, left side A). It's just on days that I see my 10 year olds chest being larger than mine. And when my husband hands me my daughter's bra, because he thinks it's mine. Or when I am trying to find a bra or swimsuit. I am determined to come out with an awesome fashion line for barely there breasts! Sexy stuff with no padding!

I'm in my 20s. I wear a aa bra. I have a boyfriend but I never feel good enough. I know his friends laugh at me behind my back for not having "tits". I always feel bad going to work and having to hear the guys talk about breasts and stuff. Or talking about women who have "man bodies".. when im right there and its like im not even there. I always feel bad. I try to embrace my body. But hearing the term "flat chest" especially from other women doesnt seem right. I Think all women out there with a small chest should be calling it small chested, not flat. It makes things seem like its okay for men to make fun and say things like that.

If you think that bigger breasts do something for you, then you've caught onto the hype. You see all the television, magazines, models, and guys making comments about big boobies and think "that's the way it must be." There's lots of guys who love flat or small chests. There's a lot of guy's who relate large breast = overweight. But most of all, large or small, nothing is creepier than an artificial chest. 80% of men do not care about your chest size. The ones that do fall into the obsessive-compulsive category. Where they only like women with a certain hair length, hair color, height, accent, or even name. There's no feature that is attractive to 100% of all men, certainly not breast size.
Having large breasts is really just the modern day fad. In time it will go away, to be replaced by something equally as ridiculous. It's like when women would bind each foot because having small feet was considered attractive, or when neck stretching by putting a series of gold rings around the neck was considered attractive, or when wearing a corset to inhibit breathing and make women wasp-shaped was considered attractive.
If you're not shaped like the current hype, don't sweat it. Real life is much different from television and magazines, people will find you beautiful the way you are. Trust me on this.

Girls, ladies and women! One day, a man will love YOU, not your cup size... those so-called men out there looking for huge breasts, literally "the bigger, the better", are just people willing to... ahem... have some fun, they are the men who can barely refrain from drooling whenever they see large breasts. True beauty is that of real women, not that of porn starlets, not that of people thinking "breasts are beautiful, big breasts are more beautiful, the biggest breasts are the most beautiful". Looking better doesn't mean having larger breasts, looking better could mean feeling better with the way you look now... happy people are always gorgeous.

I have read most of the comments from both sides: female and male. I'm a 36A, 56, 18 years old, and find it, at times, to be frustrating to "fit" in a certain type of outfit, though when trying clothing that accentuates other aspects of my body, discover it to be quite beautiful. Not everything is about breast size. I don't know if I can say I too have had a problem with my size... I might've wanted a bigger size now and then, but plastic surgery has never been an option. Ive always been aware of my size compared to other friends, but everyone is different. Ive learned to accept myself, and try not to have media influence my outlook in my life.
A while back, I was concerned about how guys would see me, but analyzing many situations, they approached me because of my personality, intelligence, etc.
I truly think women should be confident in themselves in every way, shape and form. Do this for yourself and not for another. If guys here are commenting about the way a woman carries herself, or that confidence plays a HUGE role in a relationship, then it must be true on their side. Sometimes, it is a little difficult to find a person who will not be critical about appearances, but Trust and Communication seem to be the key.

Well im 17 years old and I really like this site, coz it helped lots of sad girls. for example me.. I am in love with a guy but he is always asking me to work on my body to get a hotter look. Well that hurts me alot because there is nothing I can do about it, but now I can say if anyone loves me will love me coz of me and not coz of my body or my boobs.. I will be 18 soon and I only wear 32a. Its true sometimes I wish I had bigger boobs but not anymore.. I like my boobs and like to live as I am
thanx alot with all my wishes to all girls with small boobs

I went through some bad experiences myself because I was near-flat chested. I got made fun of in middle school by the catty bitches, known as my male classmates, all the time. Then I would think, "Well, breast size is genetic, so my younger sister will have to go through this eventually too. At least I know I won't be the only one." But whaddyaknow, when my sister (4yrs younger) reached middle school, she didn't have that problem... and she surpassed me (despite being 4 yrs younger)! It was sooo annoying. And yes, I agree that after high school, the teasing decreases but never actually stops. ...
And as for someone saying that clothes fit you better when you're flat? Who says? Obviously someone who hasn't tried fitting A-cups into a bikini top or halter tops. Prom dresses too, for that matter. It was a difficult and humiliating experience.
Eventually, I splurged on implants. This is NOT for everyone and I'm not trying to tell all you girls to go run out and get implants. ... I did it for myself and I feel great! The only thing is, you start to realize peoples' true colors after you get a surgery like that. For example, guys who snubbed you or wanted to be "just friends" before... and now that you have implants, they start sl*** themselves in front of you. It's flattering, but at the same time insulting. But it should be a choice for YOU to make on your own.

REAL men love breasts of all shapes and sizes! To all the women out there with small breasts, there are men who love you. No, maybe not the majority, but such is life. You could reverse the question and ask how many women like a balding man? It doesn't matter though, because you'll cross paths with many people in life.
A real man loves each and every woman for who she is. Just be yourself, be confident in yourself, and know that once a man falls in love, he will be mesmerized by YOU, not your breast size.
Kevin John Fenton
this is to all the women that are on here and self-contious about their flat chests....there are many guys that do like women that are flat chested...I should know... I am one of them. To be honest, as a guy looking for a beatuiful flat chested women... it is hard for us too...... most flat women cover it up and padd...... either that or get implants...boo...... be who u are and be proud! You women are gorgeous and u should know it.
Paul
I am flat chested and always have been. I am 31 years old and even after having two children I have remained the same. I never had any trouble attracting men because they saw the real me and not my chest size. Be confident about your body,love the skin your in,because that is what people see. There are plenty of A list actresses out there exactly the same, and the men love them.
samantha
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.
Note: I wouldn't add anything topical to your breast to enhance the size. Personally, I think a lot of these products have agents in them not only to increase bust size but to stimulate breast cancer. Don't trust the safe labels on the products, they're not safe.And if you should get breast cancer some day, you'll never forgive yourself for taking the pills/medication. A safer bust enlargement alternative is implant surgery.
RobinP
for all of you girls that have small titties....don't change! There are plenty of guys like me that love tiny breasts. Be proud of what you have and don't let anyone's comments get you down.
pdaddy
Hey everyone! I'm 17 and I have tiny tiny boobs. I'm 5'3 and and weigh about 120 pounds and I got my period when I was 13. No matter what I do, my fat always goes to the wrong places... they never end up in my breasts. I know I shouldn't care about my breast size but it is not nice to be around people who have bigger breasts and they always seem to look nicer in prom dresses. And I also hate the fact that my mom doesn't like my breasts either.
Claire
To all these beautiful girls without a large chest, please stop worrying about it and accept your body as it is. There is nothing more sexy than a woman who feels comfortable and sure about her body.
If a guy does not like your chest then stick away from him!!! He will probably complain about many other things later in life. Same for guys: avoid women running for your big muscles and your money; its probably fun during the moment, but it will become hell later on.
My girlfriend is Japanese with a very fine chest and body; she is very comfortable with herself and that makes her the most beautiful and sexy woman I have ever seen.
Enrico
Hi this is to all the women out there. I am 19 years old and weigh 135 lbs. I wear a size 34 A bra. My worst expreience was when a man told me he thought I was pretty but couldnt talk to me beause my breast size didnt fit his standards. And I have to tell you that really did hurt. But I got over it. I have meet sooo many men that love small breast and plus all I can really do is joke about it. I'll even be the first one to bring up my breast size but commenting a dude has bigger breast than I do and well both start cracking up. God made all women beautiful and unique so love yourself I know I do.

Well,all women (and men) are insecure about some part of their body. I usually wear the smallest B cups or the biggest A one and it fits me. Peronsally, I love my breasts. I'm very outgoing and I have self confidence, but sometimes I get insecure infront of men, because I don't want them to be disapointed. I'd like for them to love the way I look. I know I'm not going to judge THEM by physical appearance...ever, but I just always feel like they're judging ME by it...and that I'm never good enough. And society telling everyone that big breast are better and making it seem like C or DD sizes are normal for a petite woman in all other aspects (which is ridiculous) is not helping at all. I hate the way implants look and would never do that to my body, but Hollywood seems to be telling people that's the right way to go.
I think that's very wrong. Everyone has insecurities...if you had bigger breasts, you'll find something else that's not perfect about yourself and worry about that. The one truth is:nobody is perfect. Self confidence is truly what makes you stand out from the crowd, tough. So be happy with who you are! Plus, after all these great comments from men I wonder where I can find one like that?!=P Thanks for the positive comments. Keep this website up...it is great!!
Andreanna
I'm 15 and I AM NEAR-FLATCHESTED..which bothers me alot cuz...my sister is always pointing it out to me and most ppl I know tease me and stuff. I'm asked if I'm anerexic and I'm not.. I eat like a horse. and boys make fun of me... and once I went to buy a bra and a lady started laughing at me /to my face\ I felt horrible. I was depressed about it but after seeing that I'm not alone on this I feel better. and Trust me I am flat! I only have a pinch of breast. and I am really thin 2.
Adolfia
I am very happy to have this opportunity to say that I am very attracted to small breast's, A-cup and below. Big breast's are just so much fat or some kind of stuffing. Please don't alter them!
scott
My GF is 7a, which I'm told is fairly flat. The only problem I find, is when she gets sad going bra shopping!
To me she's perfect in every way
Patrick
I have to say this as someone who was formerly properly flat-chested - you need to start taking fenugreek and red clover tablets. They might not work on everyone but if you want to avoid a life of complete misery they're worth trying. I've gone from being 31" to 34" and I'm still growing. Its taken me 2 years to work out what herbs work best on me but now I know what works the skies the limit.
I'm so glad that I didn't get implants but I'm also glad that I persisted with my experimenting and refused to listen to people who just told me that I should learn to live with it. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, I just want others who are going through the same problem to keep their options open and to keep trying because you never know.
Simone
Alright, I am 14 (I got my period when I was 13) and I just spent a good part of my day reading this page, and I don't regret it one bit. It has helped my self-esteem some to know that other people are going through the same things I am (although you all seem to be skinny), but we can all find something wrong with ourselfs.
I like the way I look most of the time eventhough I am quite small chested. I do feel self-consious around my friends because they are atleast b,c cups. One of my friends is very thin, but she has nice looking breasts, I would love to have her body. My friends don't make fun of me, but I still feel odd in a bikini around them. I am on the edge of being overweight, but I still have 36a bra size, and I dislike the shape of my breasts. Also, they are kinda like a flat cone shape and stuff, its hard to explain, but it's very unattractive. So, I am just about overweight and I have small breasts and it sometimes seems like my stomach sticks out more than my breasts do. I know thats not normal because heavier weight girls usually have big breasts. My mom says they will keep growing, but I dont know.
I have other body flaws, but I am hoping I grow out of them, as I am now eating healthier and excersizing more. My mom has bigger breasts, but me and my older sister arnt even close.
I have a great boyfriend, and he doesn't seem like the type that goes after breast size, but he also hasnt seen me without my padded bra either, I don't even let my family see me without it.
Stacey
heya, I am 15 and am flat chested and it really annoys me, I know people say don't worry about it but it relly upsets me. most of my clothes don't look good on me and people always make jokes and it really upsets me. people always say try wearing padded bra's but guys always no that it padded and I think they feel really unconfortable. I am a dancer and am quite skinny, and it really annoys me because no matter what I eat I don't put on wieght because I dance all day, eveyday. I hate the way everything is about women having the perfect image. the right breasts, the right butt, the perfect figure. thing is not having breasts(i no this sounds stupid)but it makes me feel terrible, all my mates are over cup C and i'm still on A. by this age my mum was already a C. I no breasts shouldn't matter. but I think the world is expecting us to look perfect and we cant all look like a barbie! I think this site is really good because it shows tips and also I no at least there there are other women out there that don't have much bust and there still proud of there bodies, u go girls! (lol corney!)
Sarah
I am only 13 and in 7th grade but at school I feel like an outcast because I am flat-chested and I have heard that once you get your period you start to get your structure and I haven't saw any big changes yet. I mean not many of my friends are any bigger except for my 5th GRADE, 12 YEAR OLD FRIEND! She is already a size C and I'm with her almost everyday. Hard to say but I'm jelous. I do have a boyfriend and I don't know what he likes but I'm hoping he just accepts me anf maybe in some time they will grow to be size C. I guess I will just have to wait and see.

If small breasts were some sort of handicap, why is it that small-breasted women marry, have children, and live vibrant, fruitful lives? My 32As didn't stop me from getting the husband, the career, or the life that I wanted.
Theeny
I'm a 29 year old female who until recently imagined that I was the only gal in the world with a chestlike mine - basically flat and underdeveloped. Like most writers here, I developed normal menstrual patterns from age 13, but my breasts kinda began to bud and then stopped. Maybe it's psychological - I remember wishing and hoping I'd never have breasts, because they looked awkward and a nuisance to deal with.
Having said that, I am attractive and work in TV in front of the camera. I just wear padded bras to cover any flaws. I have never let any boyfriend see me topless. But discovering this site and seeing I am not "abnormal" as I previously thought - I believe I can accept my body and not be afraid to show it in future.

I have always been very thin and slightly underweight.At high school my parents always said id fill out and grow as I got older like my friends.But I am now 20 years old,a part time model and university student, and still hate my body I cant put on weight yet I eat like a horse but still my very small breasts never grew.(no matter what contraceptive pill or implant I took) however I have a curvy bottom and hips, and rest of me is fine but I have never been confident no matter how many guys have shown interest.and I can honestly say none of them have been bothered about my 32a breasts. quite a few even said id look silly with bigger ones!!! its just some days I feel like a boy when I look in the mirror, so I put on my trusty padded bra and hold my head up high,only to meet my annoyed boyfriend when he notices my grown 3 sizes overnight boobs. he hates me wearing my gel/water and padded bras. but yet I catch him looking at pamela's and page 3 girls DD boobs all the time.it upsets me but I know if they love you they dont care what size you are. and if I can come to terms with my unfair share then you can too, look at all those flat chested famous people out there!! like nicole kidman-grace from "will and grace" and many more ....kep your chin up because most of you have not even started growing yet and remember ...great things come in small packages!!!

I have been flat-chested all of my life, my sister and I call them mosquito bites, or nibbles, some say that joking about them makes it easier, but it really just covers up the embarrasment for a short while. I am now almost thirty, have had two kids, taken herbal breast enhancers, and still nothing, but after reading some of these comments my self-esteem may just be a little higher, because now I know that I am not alone in some of these feelings. thank you. tegan
IS THERE ANY HOPE....?
I started my period when I was 11 also started to form breast then as well. I am now 19 and there has been abslutly no change. (meaning all that I have is nipples) I have also been wearing the same water bra sense I was in the 10th grade. I am a perfactly healthy woman, I am 5'9" , I weigh 135lbs. I have never been able to wear a real bra. I ordered pills called Saw Palmeto/ and finel greek in which I looked up as a natural over the counter herb, that are shown to increse breast size. Do you think that there is any hope in this or do you know of anyway other than this. Because this has been a physical and a mental problem for as long as I can remember and is still a huge problem till this day and as a final result I belive I will get a breast agumentation that scares me , but I believe it will ultimatly be the best way for me to carry on a natural, healthy, -some what normal life . & relationships with others and a good career. Please if you have any other way I would love to hear it.
ElizabethAs far as those herbal products and such, I suggest you visit beboard.proboards23.com and look around. Some women there have had some success with quite elaborate protocols.
Otherwise, I do not know of anything that would make flat-chested woman's breasts to grow.
You can get a good career without having big breasts though. That should have nothing to do with it. Nor getting a good husband.
I am totally flat chested but for the most part, I have come to terms with it and have kept a positive attitude. I am now 30 and married to the most wonderful, un-superficial man.
Truly, having a small bra size definitely has its advantages, and I would not be who I am today if it weren't so. I am fairly athletic and flopping boobs have never been a problem. Although I have no idea what flopping boobs feel like, they seem like they could be a discomfort. I do not suffer back problems from front side overload, and I can decide whether to go with or without chest (depending on the bra) on any given day. Sleezy men do not ogle at my breasts or whistle at them. So when guys approached me, I could be pretty sure it wasn't for that. And when I am 65 years old, my nipples will not sag to my belly button.
Sure, there are lots of clothes (e.g. bikinis) which would look better if they were 'filled in', but there are also a lot of clothes which wouldn't look so good in women with large chests. And yes, I still get carded because I look 15, but I will continue to take that as a compliment for as long as it happens.
I've always believed that a healthy body is beautiful and instead of obssessing about how small my chest is, I try to be thankful for my health, youthful body, and the people who love me just as I am.
Barbara
Ladies, if you don't know this, some men think flat breast are gorgous. Don't ever be embarrished by your lack, be proud and find that man who thinks you're beautiful. I'm one of those men and I know there are others.
Skip
hey all you girles that are flat-chested should not feel depressed or sad you're great how you are, and you shouldn't think about it as much, sooner or later you WILL find a guy that will like you how you are not cause of your look. I am 14 years old and I am "34,B" And sometimes I feel different because people are always telling me oh " the girl with the big boobs " that makes me feel shy, and makes me cry I wish that I could have them smaller. did you notcied that girls that have big breast want them alittle smaller and girls that have them small wants them alittle bigger? that's wiered! just think about it...
addie
I know there are alot of posts but I hope this gets noticed. I love small chested women and always have. not because of simple attraction but in my experience women with larger breasts tend to have larger egos which is VERY unattractive. I beleive Scott posted above about breasts as lures..i see through this. And there is the simple factor of being attracted. I personally don't like them big because it's disgusting and ages teribly unless there fake which look equally bad. Nothing is worse than fakes in my opinion so yvette PLEASE don;t go through with the operation! There are men out there and everybody's tastes ARE different so you WILL find a man for you that you dont have to "just settle" with. Your breast size is no reason for you to suffer an abusive relationship. You are beatiful regardless of what others think. Love yourself and live happy.
RichI just wanted to say to all of the women that fret about their bodies, and how they feel in relation to the societal view concerning breast size, feel good about who you are, always. I'm a man that empathizes with you concerning your distress on physical appearance. I have always been my own worst critic. I learned over time to be proud of who I am and happy with both my outer and inner appearance. My opinion is only one amongst a sea of men, and I'm not here to say that all men only prefer large breasts, but you should not feel sad, guilty, depressed or deformed. You are who you are. Live your life with joy, and if you are destined to enjoy your time with a significant other then know that they will cherish your soul, not your body. Are not we all destined to change with time? A chest does not make a woman just as a particular appendage does not make a man. Remember that, because it really is the actions of a person that makes them stand out in the crowd. I trully wish that my comments help because it is such wasted energy to worry about something that you cannot change. Yes, a woman can have surgery to alter her appearance, but as a man voicing an opinion on that subject, my view is that by commiting to that procedure, a woman submits herself to a change that alters who she really is and what she contributes. I wish you all happiness.
Christopher
Since most of the comments are by "flat" women, I am adding a man's opinion. Sorry you are so caught up in it and please get over it. It is a useless waste of angst. Breasts are all different sizes and cute no matter what. If everyone was the same height it would be boring! Differences are attractive. Taste varies. Some males think large breasts are freakish. Some are attracted to small. Whatever the case, if someone is coming on to you because of your breasts, then they aren't the best choice. You should want someone interested in you. Tits are not a lure (although they are often used that way): your personality is!
Scott
I love your site, it is very informative and helpful. But it still doesn't make me feel any better about my body. Everytime I try to do research on my problem I just end up crying. Especially since no one seems to know why this happens! I'm what you call a "truly flat chested girl". I have no clevage but very large nipples (so I have to wear something to cover them) even though there is no bra that fits me I shop in the pre-teen section for size A bras (with padding) so that no one will know. I've tried everything, birth control pills, meditation, cream; someone once suggested a depo shot but I'm afraid of possible side effects and I know its progesteron (not estrogen) based so it probably wont work. I once schedualed an appontment with a doctor for this problem and the woman on the phone didn't want to schedual it ( I guess she thouht I was just a stupid little girl) she actually laughed. When I finally got to the gynochologist she had a look and didnt know what the problem could be. They took a hormone test on my blood and everything, it turned out to be normal, my periods are normal, my weight is normal, my pubic hair is normal. I was 17, she gave me bc pills and told me to wait untill I'm 18 and then to check back with her again.
Being flat chested didn't stop me from getting a boyfriend. I actually had a boyfriend for along time and actually stayed with and loved him even though in the back of my mind I knew he was a womanizer (i was in denial) because it didn't bother him that I'm flat chested and I was afraid that I wouldn't find anyone else who wouldn't mind. ...
...I finally told my mom about the problem and she said that I may be flat now but too look on the bright side that when I have kids, I will grow breasts. Yea well now there is no bright side. ...
Now that I'm 18 the only hope I have is plastic surgery, my mom said she would co-sign for me, if I couldn't bare to wait any longer and if the doctor is willing to finance it. ...
I know there are guys out there who dont mind but I don't want to have to settle for a guy who will just settle for me. ... How can u tell which guys will care and which ones wont? ... It would be nice to just change into my soccer clothes in the locker room with the other girls without worrying about them telling the whole school, it would be nice not to wear big sweaters everyday even when its hot out, it would be nice to go to the beach without feeling embarrased and inferior, or to dress sexy one night and go out to the clubs like all my friends do, or to even find a prom dress that fits right on EVERY part. It would be nice to just have confidence for ONCE.
I know there are all kinds of risks for breast implants but if breast implants did not exist I would probably kill myself. ... anyways, I know its bad but ive made up my mind about the implants, now I just have to worry about the pain, getting it financed and stuggling to make a payment of at least $150 dollars every month for who knows how long even though im broke and am only as good as my highschool education...just to be normal and to have what everyother girl already has and is unknowingly blessed with. Even an A cup would be nice =(
yvette(post edited for length)
I am almost 45 and have SIX great children, all of whom were totally breastfed - I made lots of milk - and yet I totally understand what you are all going through. I am 38AA (just barely), and have always had a hard time with it, but I feel blessed that my husband has always loved me the way I am. I often ask myself, "Why?" and get into an insecure mode. My husband has at times gotten fed up with me for even worrying about it. I am definitely the one with the obsession. Once he said, "If you had the boobs you wish you had, we probably wouldn't even have met...you'd be showing them off at St. Tropez!!" This got me thinking that maybe having small breasts is, at least for me, a way of learning to value other things in life besides appearances...the beauty of nature, goodness, and truth. God can seem merciless, but he knows us very well, and even though I think I would love to be showing off those boobs like "everyone else" (especially in the summer)(though you ladies remind me that IT IS NOT EVERYONE ELSE who has big boobs) I think he gave me this "little" cross to bear as a reminder.
One other thing: it is DEFINITELY toughest in high school, but unfortunately in some ways our whole society seems to be turning into one big peer-pressure blasted high school thanks mainly to the mainstream media and pornography industry. BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU! THIS SITE IS GREAT!

Thanks for the wealth of information on this site. It's been really uplifting to come away with a more accepting attitude of my own breasts. I'm a 21 year old with 34A bra size. I've always been one for breastfeeding, but still wished sometimes I can change my breast size. I was actually looking up information on how to get naturally bigger breasts and came upon this site instead. Thanks for helping so many women and men to see the beauty of breasts regardless of size or shape.
Sara
I really enjoy your site. I may be a little "older" than your normal visitors but I am a 42-year-old flat-chested woman. I have never had children. I developed normally as a young teen, as far as getting my period and pubic hair. My mom and sister both have averaged sized breasts,about a B-cup. I can not even fill out a double A. But is has helped coming to your site. Even at my age, I had a lot to learn about this subject! I have always been very self-conscious about the size of my breasts but your site has been a wealth of information and a source of comfort too. Thank you!

I am 23, weigh about 108lbs and force myself into padded 32AA bras (which are not comfortable at all), even though I more like a 34 nothing! It effects my confidence everyday and really gets me down. I feel a bit better reading that there are other girls out there the same. I had an eating disorder from around 9 years old till about 16, so always wondered if this had an effect as my breasts raised slightly when I was 14 and never changed! I've also had problems with heavy non-regular periods.
I think the most effected part of my life is relationships. Even when I had a boyfriend I was to self-conscious to let him near that area and always kept my top on. I tried the pill for a few years to see if that helped, but unfortunately nothing!
I've decided after looking at this website that I am going to try and change my outlook, and become more confident in myself and stop letting my flat chest hold me back.

i am 13 years old and I am really flat chested. I read some of the other girls problems with being flat chested like not being able to go out of the house and stuff like that. My friends all have really big boobs and sometimes I want to have them too. My friends dont even care that I have really small boobs. So to all the girls with the same problem find something good about your body like you have really pretty long finger or pretty eyes or something like that begause I bet the people with the big boobs are just jealous and remember to keep your chin up.

I am so glad I found your website. I've learned a lot from this site. And not to mention that I have a little more self-confidence in myself. Seeing that I am 5'6 1/2", 150-155lbs and either a 36AA or 36AAA cup size.

My breasts have gotten bigger since I have been taking birth control, and I hate it!! You all should not be complaingin about having small breasts. You don't have to worry about unwanted attention, and you fit in clothes alot better. Men will like you for you and not your boobs!

Alot of men love big breasts anyone who tells you different is full of it. Iam how ever discusted and repulsed by a woman who gets silicone bags put into them. I feel people who like these things or do these things are either misled or are no deeper than your average mud puddle. I love big breasts small breasts and no breasts, its all great when the one who has more less or none loves me

Hi Im 14 & just recently started my period about 2 months ago...im flat chested I know girls who started in 5th grade whom arent over weight & never was...im worried I wont grow any breasts I do sometimes get little comments about being 'flat' im a freshman in highschool, I weigh about 86 pounds & im 5'2 so whats happening? please help
Before girls get their period, fat accumulates in the breast, plus milk ducts grow. After getting the period, milk glands develop at the end of the ducts. Extreme dieting/anorexia could cause this fat not get deposited in the breasts.
Your genes may simply have decreed you to be small breasted but you alsosare underweight (see this body mass index calculator for teens). Underweight persons always have smaller breasts than they would if they were normal weight. I hope you are not denying yourself important nutrition during these growing years.
Hi to all:)
i came across this web site while I was feeling pretty down in the dumps about my self-image :( I have always been a petit girl. i'm 23 but I look 18. it has it good and bad points. one of the bad points is having hardly any sort of a "womanly" shape. it was pretty depressing when I was at school and you see all your mates "developed". I always thought that I would change as I got older, but isn't the case.i haven't woren a bra for ages because I just cant find one that comfortable. so I just go comando :) its the best way :) hehe...i sometimes get upset when I walk past/into underware shops and I can't fit into anything. but my wounderful boyfriend keeps me on the right track :) and he's NEVER complained :)
i have learnt to be happy with what I have got (it may not be alot) I usual just make a joke about it rather then gettin all sad. its not gonna change anything being all sad.
i just want to say to all them girls/ladys/women who hate themselves for not fitting into societies ideal "figure", be happy that your healthly and alive:) enjoy life and have a laugh because it don't last forever:) everyone is different.it everyone was the same then imagine how boring the world would be...:P scarey thought!
p.s. I LOVE the idea of "leave your bra at home day"...:)

I see there are a lot of responses from intelligent and sensitive guys on the site. Perhaps some women may be wondering if these responses are representative at all, especially if they are educated about "response bias" and other statistical confounds.
I can only say this, as a guy with psychological training who tends to take great interest in what the people around him say and seem to truly believe: I think it's probably true that men are almost always interested in breasts--that they are both erotic and symbolic of the things that make women so special to us--and it is also true that sagging, size, other worries aren't much of a worry to the majority of us. I have met only 1 or 2 men, honestly, with such concerns about the breasts of the girls in their lives that there could be problems. And in addition to the fact that such men are, if not bad men, certainly immature in this regard such that they are probably not a great loss, those I've heard profess such concerns were probably not as concerned as they let on. In other words, when they meet "the one," they don't care either way.
Bottom line: the whole package is what interests us, and even better news is that the whole package is mostly a function of personality and how a girl's appearance quickly becomes an extension of that personality (so trite concerns, if we have them at all, generally evaporate as we get closer to the girl we love). The smile, the hobbies, the things that make these girls happy, the way she catches your eye in that confident way or maybe that shy way that is all her--this is what it is all about. And something like breasts: a wonderful, highly-individual icing on the cake.I'll concede that my assumption that this is the majority view is unscientific, but I stick to it; I may not know about all men, but I do know myself, and I know that eons of fascination and near worship of breasts in so many cultures did not arise from the recent fake-ness you see on tv and in magazines. And neither will eons of fascination with the real breast, when it gets down to the real of our lives and relationships, be overshadowed by commercial whim.

I'm a guy and while many of us will espouse about large-breasted women like fast cars or big trucks, when not around "the guys", most of us would probably admit to not really having a preference for big ones. The woman they're attached to, i.e. her self-confidence, personality and intelligence are far higher on the desirability scale than just a large chest.

I am a 21 year old male. I would just like to offer another way to approach dealing with this issue - or any difficult issue, for that matter: Try to find the humour in it! There is ALWAYS more than one angle to see a situation - and usually one is funny! And if you give yourself permission to find it funny, then everyone else will feel free to find it funny too - so you'll be creating laughter instead of bad feelings. There's no question - this will take mental discipline and practise to reprogram your mind/attitude - but it will make all the difference if you can do it. I say this as someone who has a little problem of his own. Every morning I wake up with a full bladder. Of course, that's nothing too unusual, I know - but that's not the problem. I also wake up with an erection. It's not out of arousal in any way and it's difficult to get down quickly. It's unsettling to think of people coming into my room while I'm still asleep and seeing a very noticable bulge in my sheets. Yet, what's really annoying is how I have to wait for it to shrink so I can wander among people naturally before I can find a bathroom. But I refuse to let this silly quirk get the best of me and I am intent on learning to see how ridiculous and amusing this actually is. So the day will soon come when I will be telling (safe)people as if it was a joke and sharing a good laugh. Attitude really is the heavyweight factor here. Ya know, no one should depend on a man/woman to give them the self-approval/love they need. The truth is, there's only one person you need to earn the respect and approval of - and that's YOU. And you should automatically have earned it, as there is only one YOU and YOU are a truly unique combination of positive and negative characteristics. Just try to see your negatives as something to rise above, and keep your eyes open for the positive. Who knows...maybe you'll surprise yourself!?

Hi, I found your site by accident. I was especially moved by some of the stories shared by women who've had little or no bust development. I myself got picked on in school for being a giant, but I knew from the time I started to develop sexual feelings, that I was more attracted to flat-chested women than to their busty sisters. Needless to say, I kept my mouth shut, as do many other men with this same preference.
Large female breasts have always kind of grossed me out... so I tried to pick apart the reasons why I prefer flat-chested women. One reason is because I'm just not cut out for the daddy role, so it's not like my ideal woman is ever going to use those flat breasts for their intended purpose. Another reason is because it's true, the size of a woman's bust has nothing to do with the size of her heart... and there are some very kind women out there who've sworn off dating because they've met some jerk men who were way too hung up on bust size. Personally, I'd pick a flat-chested woman with a warm heart over a busty bimbo in a heartbeat.
At the same time, I have an undercurrent of resentment toward other men... IMO many of the movers & shakers in the media biz who decide what is and isn't "stylish", are in reality nothing more than rich alpha males who think they know better than the rest of us what we want. I hate to tell them, but all their money can't buy public opinion.
But I go volcanic when some idiot guy suggests that men who like flat-chested women, do so because they "look like children"... if this were true, I'd have a problem appreciating tall women. I can just as equally hurl back the accusation that these barbarian types are only interested in busty women because they're little boys who just want to be mothered. Something else to unnerve them... yes men get breast cancer too. And it's deadly.
BTW my website is www.soulmateodyssey.com and yes, my pref is mentioned in one page of the site.
My boobs are very small and the right one is almost half the size of the left one. I do not fit into a 32A, and I would not dare to wear a plunging neckline, because I wear a padded bra all the time. I am 17, 105 lbs. and 4'10". I really wish my boobs were at least symmetrical.

I probably have as flat of a chest about as anyone here. I'm 25 years old and all I have are little nubs. I don't even begin to fill out a 38A nor would I begin to fill out a 38AA, if they ever made that size! I am also very tall (6'2) and while I'm not fat, I could stand to lose a good 10 pounds or a little more.
I do not care whatsoever if men or women find my breasts attractive or not. To me, I desire the chest of an adult woman or I'd at least settle for a very mature teenager, which I am light years away from. This is all about discomfort with my body, and I'm wondering if anyone here has heard of any medical conditions (besides insufficient estrogen) that can cause such a lack of development.
PS I developed normally otherwise (hips, menstruation, pubic hair, etc) and also my relatives are all about average or slightly bigger than average (B-C cups) - so I don't believe this is simply genetic.

I really cant understand why women are so botherd about breast size! It really doesn't matter at all, HONESTLY. Breasts, and for that matter bodys come in huge range of shapes, sizes and colours and to say that one type is "better" is rubbish. It really is personallity that counts, the sexyist woman I'v ever met was certainly far from conventionally good looking but she lit up any room she walked into, seemingly to turn heads just because she radiated sexuality, sexiness is all in the mind.
I'm not going to say that I prefer smaller breasts, since I like ALL breasts and (more importantly) the PERSON to whom they belong is the only thing that I'm interested in! So stop worrying and love your bodies!! (and let us love them too!!!)

I don't think there is anything wrong with a woman who is flat-chested. If given the choice between a flat-chested woman and a C or D-cup woman, all else equal-I would hands down choose the flat-chested woman. I think it would be cool that flat-chested women could go to the pool, the beach, etc. without having to wear a bra.

I would just like to say that this web site helped me out alot. I am 15 and I am a size 36a I feel so small and I am 5foot 5 inches I weigh 90 lbs. I have a perfect boyfriend who don't care about my brest size but still I love my self now

I am so glad I found your site!!! I'm 22 with a small 32A chest. I was actually in the process of looking for some kind of miracle cure on the net to increase the size of my 32A's, and I'm so glad I came across this site instead. I've always been paranoid about my small boobs, and I even went as far as buying very expensive herbal pills last year, and I can vouch that they DO NOT make them bigger.
I have to say this site really brought me back down to earth.After reading the posts on this website I've come to the conclusion that the issue of breast size and shape is essentially a woman's problem rather than a mans. I've not come across one guy who posted this site saying that big or even average size breasts are a must, but yet so many girls and women (me included) constantly are putting ourselves through unnecessary torture and self hate for nothing!? Men don't seem to have a problem with it so why do we? We only want bigger breasts because its what we THINK men want. But from reading this site, I now know its not an issue. Men may sometimes comment on how much they like big boobs but they only do so becauses its what they THINK they should find sexually arousing because our society has made them think so. Its like the whole issue with penis size, I myself dont care how big a guys penis is, like any other girl I know, and yet so many guys like us girls get obsessed and hung-up about it! Its the stupidity of our Western culture, and at the end of the day, its how you feel about yourself that matters, confidence is the sexiest thing in the world regardless of whether you're male or female. anyway- a relationship built on big boobs would be a pitiful one!
So glad I got all that off my chest! (excuse the pun..)
From Caroline in IrelandXXX
I don't think anything of flat chested women even though I am big boobed. Each has it's benefits. Small boobs give a better fit in some clothes and less jiggling when you walk or run. Big boobs attract attention (sometimes unwanted) and can also give a better fit depening on the style. What I don't like is that in an effort to promote self love in small boobed girls some of the comments make big boobed girls feel like big freaks who carry around a disgraceful load. ... Boobs of any size can look beautiful once confidence goes with it. It has nothing to do with size. And by the way they can both sag and look horrible because sagging isn't about size either. I have perky big boobs and have seen saggy little ones. Power to the biggies and smallies alike because we are ALL beautiful!!!

Hiya!
I'm 15-and put it this way I'm no Jordan! I came on this site hoping to find some way of increasing my breast size naturally, be it silicon pads or even some kind of natural supplement. But I'm really glad I came to this site-I read most of the comments and my self-confidence has been really boosted. I'd like to thank Gavin (below) who said 'be proud of yr wonderful treasures,confidence is everything & will overcome any perceived physical shortcoming, celebrate yr bodies whatever form they take & celebrate life... !!!!' I think the media concentrate them as mere accessories-but they actually have a v.important part to play later on in life (if we choose to have kids that is!). And I think Gavin was right-confidence comes from within, and people who obsess about their weight, height, breast size etc (I know I have been one of them-havn't we all!) are just shallow minded-their is so much MORE to life than just the way we look. I'm really lookn forward to my gap yr in a couple of years time and I'm really looking forward to just getting out their and living life to the full-and so should all you reading this. So I'd like to thank who ever set up this website, and as my grandmother used to say 'always try and seek out abit of grey in every black...' Amy
