12 Struggles Girls With Small Boobs Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

If you have grown up with a less than blossoming bosom you know that although there are so many good things about your small size, (#BodyPositivity) there is a downside to everything. You’ve become familiar with the small boob slang, playful or otherwise, like flat-chest, bee stings, mosquito bites, IBTC, ect. You’ve also become familiar with most of the daily stuggles on this list. 

 

1. Pushup bras do work wonders, but they don’t work miracles.

As the law of conservation of mass says: mass cannot be created nor destroyed.

2. You always have to opt for seperates over a set.

Co-ords, bathing suits, pant suits, you name it–they weren’t made for you.

3. Wearing a strapless anything is damn near impossible.

You will be tugging it up or you will be wearing it as a skirt.

4. You are always President Elect of the Itty Bitty T*tty Committee

Even though you don’t remember announcing your candidacy

5.  Getting excited your boobs are growing, only to remember Aunt Flo is on her way

Just smile and enjoy it while it lasts

6. That embarassing moment when you lean forward and expose the gap between boob and bra

Sorry everyone, you weren’t supposed to see that.

7. You know better than to complain to your friends with big boobs

They’ll just remind you, “At least you don’t have back problems.”

8. Your mom’s only way of comforting you is reminding you she didn’t have boobs until she got pregnant with you

Thanks mom, very reassuring

9. Wishing on every candle/shooting star/wishbone that your boobs will grow

Those who believe will receive. *crosses fingers*

10. The anxiety of thinking your date will be dissapointed when you take off your pushup bra

Although they hardly ever seem to notice

11. Cringing when your friends with big boobs say they want a reduction

We get it, back problems, but how dare you.

12. Looking up tricks to make your boobs grow on the internet and in books

We must, we must, we must increase our bust!

13. Not being able to share clothes with your friends with bigger boobs

On them: Tight, slinky, sexy, tons of cleavage

On you: loose, baggy, saggy, deep v exposes nipple not cleavage

14. Growing up contemplating stuffing your bra or wearing two

But the risk of getting caught always outweighs the benefit
