I feel stupid for this but I'm really self conscious about my boobs. My husband doesn't have any complaints and I really shouldn't but I'm pushing a D cup. I was a 34 B when I filled out after puberty which I was fine with but five years ago I was diagnosed with a probable pituitary microadenoma and hyperprolactinemia. The latter made my boobs leak and it leaks or can be expressed from the left one. I know some women have it a whole lot worse but I see them in the mirror and I just think they are hideous. I can't wear v neck tops because they make me feel exposed and my mom told me to stop wearing cardigans or shawls over those tops as she thought there wasn't an issue. I think the anxiety is that people will stare at them or not listen to me because oh look, boobs! I haven't been in that situation but I keep them under sweatshirts because I don't want to. Ugh, I know this sounds incredibly stupid but there are days I really hate them and wish they would stay in my bra out of sight and out of mind. Rant over.

I hear you there. What helped me with similar problems is to find my right size bra (i can direct you to a great group on Reddit) and to wear full coverage minimizers. You do not have to wear anything that makes you uncomfortable. You're fabulous and your boobs are too!

I kinda feel the same way I was a full b and had large implants put in 5 yrs ago now I'm a DD now hate the way I look, and feel along with how I'm now treated especially by men

[divine1966]

I’d be happy to have Ds. I wear F or FF or sometimes could EE and I am petite, not a big woman. Not only it’s impossible to find right fitting clothes, people stare . I envy women with small breasts. Life is easier

So far I'm going to try and lose some weight (husband and I are back on the wagon because he's been snoring), try to drink less and invest in a minimized bra. Thank you!

Thanks for introducing me to minimizer bras!

Just an update, I went to Victoria's Secret yesterday and figured a bra fitting might be good. I did it because I thought they were smaller and maybe I was overreacting. Nope. 34DD. First time I left VS embarrassed (they were nice about it thank goodness). I am going to try and get back with my endocrinologist to see if that Will fix it.

Why were you embarrassed? The size is just a letter. It can vary per brand or even in different models of bras.
34DD isn't enormous. I'm a bigger size than that and I've never experienced people staring or not listening to what I say.

Also, I think V necks are actually flattering for a larger chest. Of course you don't want them too low, but as long as they still cover everything up they'll make your chest look smaller.
