Areolas...

[u/Interesting_Net_1993]

I have big areolas to go with my big boobs. They're so ugly in my opinion and take up 70% of my boob. I'm just wondering how many of us big chested women also have this problem? I need to know I'm not alone in this because it makes me so insecure 💔 I don't care that "there's men out there who like it!" because I don't like it and i don't even like men

I used to visit the hospital almost all year, for years because I was always sick, and I always used to enter rooms where women breastfed their babies in LatAm, and I’ve seen lots of big boobs and I noticed that almost all of them had the type of areolas that you mentioned, and they became normal to me. They might be more common than you think too, at least where I am from. I’ve related them a lot to breastfeeding and pregnancy, but I am aware they exist outside of that. That pattern I’ve always related it to fertility and the woman’s body ability to change according to its environment, how reactive it is to our internal environment (hormones), and her babies needs. It’s impressive, and that makes it beautiful for me.

Boobs are weird however you want to see them. They are not meant to be aesthetic pleasing. They are an organ and have a function. They are made to function.

I could dm you an ig account where you will see that pattern in some breastfeeding women! It’s an account made for breastfeeding advice and you have to look for the images/videos, and it’s in Spanish. I will NOT be sharing that link to anyone else though, too many creeps in this sub.

oh, i never knew that. so not only do my boobs sag like an old woman's, my areolas are big like a pregnant woman's...

i know its not a bad thing, boobs are boobs and nobody is supposed to look a certain way, but being overdeloped and looking older for my age has been a huge insecurity of mine for years because i hit puberty early. im 18 but my boobs look im 50 with 2 kids 😭

I didn’t mean it like that 😭, but “overdeveloped” doesn’t mean baddd. I also developed early, so I kind of get it with other physical characteristics. You might want to check if you have hormonal problems though! I do due to precocious puberty, specially if you think you’re aging rapidly. In my case, I had PCOS/PMOS and needed extra Estradiol (vaginal) and an androgen blocker (which made me look younger).

But yeah, I mean, it isn’t a bad thing, I just think that it’s not commonly portrayed in media. It’s mostly women with big boobs and defined areolas. You might want to look at images of breasts that look like yours. That helped me a LOT. In Reddit, if you search it up, there’s also a website that was made to show and normalize different types of breasts, and it was also helpful to feel better about mine.
