I had questions for women with big boobs – so I asked them

As a member of the ittie bittie tittie committee, my boobs play a very small role in my daily life. I usually forget that they are even there. The only time I even notice their existence is in the shower. I’ll look down and casually think to myself, “oh, you’re still here?” and then I’ll continue on with my shampoo routine. Sure, I wish they were bigger at times. Bra cup size is about the only thing I’d be happy getting something other than an A in. But, the grass is always greener on the other side. Before I make any rash decisions (as if I could even afford a boob job), I want all the facts. Is having big boobs really all it’s cracked up to be? If I can’t go places freely without wearing a bra anymore, I don’t know if I’m down. I have some questions. So, I went out and found some big-breasted ladies and asked them.

*My respondents were two college-aged women both with Double D’s. Must be nice. They will henceforth be referred to as DD1 and DD2.* 

Ok, first of all, when did you first realize you had big boobs? 

DD1: “Eighth grade. I just transferred to a new school and some girl, I’ll never forget this, comes up to me and she goes, ‘You have huge boobs!’ I had no idea. I didn’t even know they were there. I had to wear a bra, but I didn’t even know what that meant. She was like, ‘(DD1) with the big boobs’ and spread that around to everyone. I was brand new at this school and I wasn’t sure how to feel about that at the time.”

DD2: “I want to say freshman year of high school. I hadn’t really thought about it in middle school. I feel like I never wore shirts that revealed them. And then once I started wearing lower cut shirts, it was like, ‘BAM, there they are.'”

Sometimes I forget my boobs are even there. Does that ever happen to you? 

DD2: “Not usually, no.”

DD1: “They’re always there. Especially when my shoulders are hunched. I’m like ‘oh, fuck, hello.'”

Do you ever just, like, hold your boobs?

DD2: *immediately*  “YES.”

DD1: “All the time. Sometimes I don’t even realize I’m doing it.”

DD2: “Subconsciously, my hand just kind of creeps in there.”

Do you often notice people staring at your chest? 

DD2: “Depends what kind of shirt I have on.”

DD1: “I’d like to think they’re looking at me because of my great personality.”

Do you like that your chest is never mistaken for your back? 

DD1: *jokes*  “They’re like, ‘You have two zits on your back’ and you’re like, ‘My face is right here.’ Um, I guess. Now that you mention it.”

DD2: “Yeah, I guess so. That’s a nice perk.”

How often do you have to tell people “Eyes up here”? 

DD1: “I love it when people stare.”

DD2: “I don’t think I’ve ever corrected anybody just because I feel bad.”

Do you find it hard to balance? Do you ever find yourself tipping forward? 

DD2: “No.”

DD1: “No. I mean, it’s hard for me to balance, but that’s because I’m clumsy, not because of my boobs.”

Do your boobs hang to a certain side when you lie on your back? 

*both girls lean back to find out* 

DD2: “No, they just get smaller. They get way smaller. They just kind of shrink down.”

*After observation, DD1’s boobs just went outward to opposite sides* 

Is one boob bigger than the other?

DD1: “Yes. Usually, I think it’s the left. Some days they’re just bigger in general.”

Do your boobs get along?

DD1: “Sometimes they chafe and I feel like they’re having a falling out. They’re a little angry with each other. But at the end of the day they’re sisters. They work it out.”

Do you like one boob better than the other? 

DD2: “I don’t really like either of them. They get in the way.”

DD1: “I haven’t thought about my boobs this much since I was buying my first bra.”

Do they have names? 

DD1: “I haven’t named them yet but I kind of want to now.”

Does one boob get more compliments than the other boob? 

DD1: “In Vegas, some 40 year old Persian man came up to me and in the middle of the conversation and he was like, ‘Yeah, and I have my business and OH, by the way, you have really nice boobs, blah blah blah.’ So it’s usually a package deal.”

Do you own any pushup bras? 

DD2: “Yes, and I never wear it.”

DD1: “One, and I only wear it when I’m trying to be a hooch. But I don’t really wear it anymore. I got it when I was still in high school and thought I needed it. But now I don’t.”

Do you think you save a lot of money from not buying multiple bombshell push up bras? 

DD1: “No.”

DD2: “I don’t know, my bras are still pretty expensive.”

Do you feel comfortable going anywhere without a bra?

DD2: “No.”

DD1: “Oh no. No.”

~Hell fucking yeah small boobs for the win~  

DD2: “I never go anywhere without a bra. I have one tiny bralette but I feel uncomfortable whenever I wear it.”

DD1: “But now with the ‘saggy-no-one-really-cares-free-spirited-boob-thing,’ no one  wears real bras anymore. They wear bandeaus and bralettes.”

So do you ever wear bralettes? Do they work for you?  

DD2: “No.”

DD1: “You tell me. *Lifts shirt to reveal major boob spillage out of bralette*  I can’t wear them around children, because when I play with them (the children) my boobs fall out. When I’m lounging around the house I feel comfortable in a bralette.”

DD2: “I wore a bralette to play beer die and my boobs fell out the whole entire time. It was the most uncomfortable experience of my life.”

Tell me about your bathing suit experiences

DD1 and DD2: “It’s really hard to find one.”

DD1: “Because some people are like ‘What are you trying to do? Be a prostitute?’ and then (when you wear a more conservative one) others are like ‘You’re young! Why are you wearing  something like that?'”

Can you ever wear strapless bras or bathing suits? 

DD2: “No.”

DD1: “I’m starting to be more comfortable with my body where I just don’t care, but it’s typically not flattering.”

Would you say you’re more prone to nip slips than less endowed women? 

DD1: “I don’t want to put other women’s nip slips down, ’cause everyone has their own problems, but I do think I’m more prone.”

DD2: “I usually only get front nip slips, never side ones, though.”

Side boob, what about that? 

DD2: “I never really wear anything that could give me side boob.”

DD1: “I’m very conscious of what I’m putting on.”

Does it hurt to work out? 

In unison: “YES”

DD1: “You need a really tight sports bra. I usually double sports bra it.”

Do you get a lot of boob sweat? 

In unison: “YES.”

DD1: “Oh, it’s disgusting.”

DD2: “The cleavage sweat is disgusting.”

DD1: “I have to wipe them down a lot. Like when I go to the gym, you know how you wash your hands after? I also do a quick cleavage rub down.”

Do you ever wish your boobs were bigger or smaller? 

DD2: “I’d say a little smaller. I’m a double D, I’d like to be like a large C.”

If your boobs could speak, what do you think they would say to you? 

DD1: “I think they’d say, ‘We’re the only reason people talk to you.’ They’re very cocky.”

DD2: “They’d be like, ‘Treat me nicely, you’re not very careful.'”

Do your boobs aid or inhibit your dancing skills? 

DD1: “They inhibit.”

DD2: “Just because it hurts, the movement. Bouncing up and down.”

DD1: “Sometimes they’ll swing from side to side.”

What percentage of your day do you spend thinking about your boobs?

DD2: “I’d say a solid 37 percent.”

DD1: “I’d say about 56 percent. Because when you think of the shirt you want to wear, you have to think, ‘What bra do I need to wear with that?’ When you bend down, you’re like, ‘Oh my god, did my boobs just fall out of my bra?'”

DD2: “Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Maybe 50 percent.”

DD1: “Also, when I go to sit down in class and I have to walk past someone in a lecture hall, I have to go butt-first, because otherwise I’m just motor boating everybody in the lecture hall.”

Do you ever hide things under or in-between your boobs? 

DD1: “Alcohol when people ask me too.”

DD2: “Drugs. Weed mostly. If I don’t have a pocket, I’ll just stick the weed in there. And money, sometimes.”

DD1: “I’ve snuck joints into Snoop Dogg in my cleavage. Sometimes lipstick. But then the boob sweat comes and it’s not pretty.”

Are you ever jealous of women with small boobs? 

DD1: “A lot of the new fashion is for people with small boobs, and I’m jealous. There are a lot of shirts that just don’t look good on me.”

DD2: “I really wish I could wear bralettes more often. That’s a really big let down for me.”

But overall, do you like your boobs? Would you keep them as they are? 

DD1: “In the generation of ‘be you, be happy, love yourself,’ yes, I would.”

Big boobs seem great and all, but they also sound like a lot of work and I am very lazy. I don’t know if I’m ready for that type of commitment. Maybe I’ll keep mine. Not that I have a choice anyway, you know, financially. I guess what I’m saying is LOVE YOURSELF LOVE YOUR BOOBS. Peace.
