There is a webcomic that is TOTALLY sympathetic to what you go through. Surprisingly, it's called:

Busty Girl Comics

I knew that bustiness is not all sunshine and rainbows, but I never really knew what issues you bosomy ladies have to put up with until I read through every single one of these comics.

Enjoy!

My cousin says that it's hard to find t-shirts that fit her because they are either too loose, or don't completely cover her belly because of her... assets :lol:

When my cousin wears a loose tee-shirt, she looks pregnant. When she wears a tee-shirt that fits, guys keep trying to spill water on her.

It makes me wonder from a common theme I noticed in the comics, are bigger bras significantly more expensive than smaller ones?

Also, I'm clumsy enough to knock things over with my extremities the way I am now :lol: If clumsiness comes with AS, some of you guys could have it worse than me in that regard :lol:

They are more expensive, usually because you have to get them from speciality stores to find your size.
It adds up quickly - supposing that you can find your size. (For me it's almost impossible at the best of times, I have to buy then and get them altered).

And yes - it happens. If you turn around and bump into someone or something - that is what hits first.
Awkward much? :lol:

You all have a lot of busty cousins.

I can put up with the constant low ache in the middle of my back and the pain-in-the-a** that is trying to find a top that fits both my chest and my shoulders properly without making me look like either a Mom or a Hooker. What I'd prefer not to put up with is the random guys who confuse my chest with my face. I'm not great with eye contact either, but I generally pick a random patch of wall or floor to look at. You know, rather than your wedding tackle area. Because that would be inappropriate.

I can imagine :lol: When I've got my arms hanging low, and turn around while letting physics do their job, my hands are bound to brush someone's behind -_-. I'm glad girls are generally understanding about this (and my OMG sorry face helps)

I actually live with one :lol: I figured the "hard to find a fitting top" one out while going clothes shopping with her.

38 DD (USA) here...

With good-fitting bras (very $$, like $60 and up) you can mostly eliminate the back-ache (but not always). More difficult is finding clothing that fits. Anything that fits your shoulders or torso won't fit your bust, and anything that fits your bust will slide off your shoulders. Ditto for bathing suits (a veritable impossibility, really).

Also difficult: sports bras. Very hard to find one that supports you enough without completely constricting your breathing.

I think, too, that my large bust makes me look dumpy (especially because I'm very short-waisted in my torso).

I was average sized until my last child and used to wish I was bigger. Now I want them to GO AWAY.

Champion makes good sports bras in larger sizes. Sometimes I envy the petite girls that don't have to "dress for their figure". Not that I do very often. :)

Word about the sports bras. :thumleft:

I'm a 28F - finding something you can breathe in is impossible because at that size they only make them for extremely petite girls.

I'm a member of this group. And mine -- 44D -- look even bigger because I have no hips. Some women have an hourglass shape; I'm shaped like the letter Y -- wide shoulders, big chest and boobs, no waist and narrow hips. I'm significantly overweight now, but even at my fighting weight, I have an odd figure -- in college my measurements were 42-32-35. Buying clothes is a nightmare. Dresses ride up in the front, business suits and bathing suits either fit on the top or the bottom, but not both. And yes..buying bras sucks too. If I don't get underwires, I get the "granny boobs" look. BTW -- what the h*ll is the deal with big bras that still have padding in them?!?!? I can understand if you're an A-cup and want a little more shape. But D-cups DO NOT NEED PADDING!! ! I hate those molded cup bras that are so popular now. It makes my boobs look fake even when they aren't.

I had the same problem as others when I was younger -- guys would talk to my boobs instead of my face. And I was so naive (aspie?) that when I wore shorts and T-shirts with no bra I TRULY wasn't aware of the effect it had on men. I just knew it was summer in Texas and it was hot and I was more comfortable dressing like that. Of course, now at 52 I realize it -- and wish I still got a little of that kind of attention now that I kinda know how to handle it. Oh -- and for the record...because my boobs are saggy now, it seems that they are getting even bigger. I'm guessing it's because the skin is stretching and so there is more to stick into a bra.
