How to Handle Your Boob Size
Just like height or eye color, boob size is pre-programed by our DNA, the genetic code that writes the blueprint for how bodies are built.
But, that doesn’t mean that boobs will only ever be one size and they will stay that way forever. Some boobs develop very quickly, growing pretty large for their frame, and then over months or years, the breasts slowly shrink. Others do the opposite, starting small but growing steadily over time. And some grow, plateau, and stay pretty much the same size for years and years. All are totally normal! But wouldn’t it be nice if the process were predictable?!
Some people will notice that their bra size goes up when they gain some weight. Others experience enlargement right before they get their periods every month, so much so that some days they need to wear a bigger bra. There are people who don’t experience this fluctuation, and that’s ok too.
How you handle your boob size is up to you: what you wear, how you fit into a bra or a bathing suit top is your choice… just make a note that some pieces of clothing might feel too tight or generate attention you aren’t looking to get. All bodies are beautiful and deserving of love!
A note for people with bigger boobs: some individuals with larger boobs experience back, neck and/or shoulder pain…if this sounds like you, the type of bra you wear may make a difference. For more information on the different bra types and how they should fit, check out our articles here and here.
