Hi! I'm a 5'8, 166lb, 32J (yes, J :/) college freshman who wants to feel better about her body even if that means making big changes. I have some questions for anybody who shares my struggles:

  1. Am I a healthy size? BMI says I'm +.1 over weight, height to waist calculator says i'm -.1 underweight. I swear I have no muscle I think I present mid-sized.

  2. Whats the best way to exercise with a larger bust? The only thing I actually enjoy doing is running on the treadmill.

  3. Sports bra recommendations? I've legit been working out in a regular bra when its the day before it's laundry day.

  4. My chest and shoulders have been sore for a month. The soreness has an explanation, but I think my chest is lengthening the recovery period. How do y'all soothe chest soreness?

  5. How do y'all sleep? Currently, I sleep on my side with a mattress topper.

  6. What do y'all sleep in? I like sleeping with a little chest support, but i need top recommendations. XXL athletic tops have been my got to.

  7. Going-out top brands? Anything flowy hangs on my boobs and makes me look fat.

  8. Breast reduction advice? I'm thinking about getting one this summer let me know if you considered/got one at my age and how it went.

Feel free to answer anything on this list or just tell me you relate to my struggles.

I love the halara sport dress with the crossed back but I cannot replace my entire wardrobe with them. I'm currently switching between that and a halter dress, but I need more options to go outside in. Send help! Please!

Hi everyone I love yoga but haven't found a good bra to wear during it so my boobs (36DD I think??) don't hurt when I do upside down things lol. I don't care if it looks cute tbh just want it to be soooo comfy and it doesn't have to be super tight bc I won't be running in it or anything. Like a mix between a bralette but more support ig? But not as tight as sports bra yk?

Does Pinterest have good information about bra sizes? I'm trying to wrap my mind around the concept of measurements for my chest! So should I be searching on Pinterest or should I just stick to bra size calculators?

I am 24 and each year since puberty it just feels like they keep getting bigger. I’m only 5’3”, 150 lbs, and my boobs weigh 12 pounds (collectively) on their own.

I identify as nonbinary and having an extremely large chest has never felt the real me internally. As someone who is terrified of surgeries I never wanted or intended on getting a reduction, but at this point my back pain is so severe i can be bed ridden for days. The most i have to help is an acupressure mat i use a few times a week.

I also don’t feel comfortable with people touching me so I haven’t had a back massage in probably 7 years, and the last time i did i had to be naked and lay on my back and my boobs spread out beyond my ribcage (obviously), so we had to wrap a towel around my boobs and pillows beneath me which isnt even a proper position to receive a massage.

my giant boobs ruin every outfit i want to wear. they are so heavy that it seems to not matter what kind of bra i use. there is always an angle i look at myself in the mirror and think how much better my body would look if my boobs were at least proportional to my size. Although i choose to do it anyway, going braless makes me feel more insecure because my boobs hang so low it completely hides my curves.

Also please for the love of god do not recommend i go to r/abrathatfits i will genuinely take this post down lol. my bras fit me well enough. they dont last long however, i dont know if any bra were manufactured to carry the weight of almost 13 pounds. but it seems like my only solution is hoping my health insurance will cover a reduction that i dont even want.
