What can I do about small boobs?

q:Dear Sarah, I just turned 18 and my chest is so small it’s an A cup. I’ve got a nice figure but I sometimes feel ashamed because of my small chest. I do use a padded bra, but it’s still really small. All the people around me say I have a fit, attractive, sexy figure but I just feel they’re making it up. I feel like my chest is way too small for my age, please help!

a:Why is it that so many girls are obsessed with increasing their bust size? Plenty of attractive women in Hollywood have A-cups. Do you ever see Keira Knightley walking around complaining that she’s got a small bust? More to the point, do you ever see her boyfriends complaining about it? The fact is, everyone has different body shapes. If people are telling you that your body is attractive, it’s probably because it IS.

You are beautiful and unique the way you are
If you’re really upset about the size of your bust, go and buy some “chicken fillets”. They’re small, natural-looking bust enhancers you can just slip into your bra before you go out for the night. They’ll take you up about cup size, so you won’t end up looking unnaturally large. If you’re really worried about your bust and are considering surgery, just remember that any type of surgery is a big deal and you need to be fully prepared before you go under the knife. This means finding a good surgeon you trust, asking lots of questions and making sure you understand every possible side effect. Also keep in mind that you haven’t finished growing yet and your body will still be changing up until you’re about 22. If you can wait until then, do so. Just remember you’re beautiful the way you are - absolutely unique! Sarah xx

Got a question for Sarah? We’ve all got ultra-personal stuff going on in our lives – but chances are, plenty of others have been through the same thing! If you’ve got a question or a problem, just ask. We’ll do our best to hook you up with realistic advice! (Check out previous questions for more helpful tips).

Hey. I have gone from A to B cup in about a month. There are excersizes that you can do. I you google breast enlargement excresizes I am sure It will come up with something. Just remember your great just the way you are. smile xxx

I’m 17 and also have an A cup. So I know how you feel! However several friends of mine have D cups and wish they had a smaller bust like me. They say its because they get back pain from them. They also say that they are annoying to do exercise with and get in the way all the time. Plus the people who comment on another persons bust size usually comments how big they are ,rather than how small they are.So I guess we have it kinda easy, how they are don’t hurt our backs and we can easily do exercise with them. We can also dress ourselves to give the illusion of a larger bust. Hope that helps smile  x x x be proud of what you have and don’t dwell on what you don’t have.

Everyone is beautiful no matter what their boob size is! God meant for you to be the way you are and it’s silly to have un-needed plastic surgery to get bigger boobs when you’re alreayd beautiful. There’ll always be people that love you just the way you are and you should love yourself just the way you are as well!

like they say, once your boobs have gotten to their destined size thats all you get. accept yourself and dont compare yourself to anyone

Posted by Pinkthunder "on" 11/04 "at"10:37 AM
I think there’s nothing wrong with a small bust! A lot of models have small busts grin

Agree with everyone, but at teh same time completely understand. I am small, to the point where i get teased about my surfboard chest, for the first time in my life last week i actually wondered if surgery would help, and thats not me, ive always been ahppy as i am :-(
Posted by tkennard "on" 08/09 "at"02:19 PM
All you can do is suck it up, bra fillers are not solutions, there is nothing you can physically do or eat to make your boobs grow, don’t give up they probably will!
Posted by Sugaax! "on" 08/08 "at"11:50 AM
honestly dont worry about it you are perfectly fine the way you are and you should feel comfortable with what you have,and if a guy cant get over you having an a cup cup, your way to good for him!

I love having A cup becouse most of my mates have big boobs an if they were a real low top they get called slutty but we can wear as low as we want an get away with it! and we can run without it hurting!

I agree with a lot of people here, I am turning 18 soon, and I play alot of Sport too.. I have a really small bust, just skimming a b cup, and I think they are too big.. lol… I would Like to have Negative if possible… They get in the way of nearly everything.. sometimes wearing the wrong bra, and you suddenly have to run somewhere *literally run* And they bounce.. Or your Talking to a great guy, who suddenly realizes your a Girl *durr* and they Just CAN’T look you in the eye.. grr.. they are what they are.. Your *blessed* with what you got…

One way to *sorta* enhance them is wearing clothing that enhance the Bust area! .. Tops with deep V’s and Cute patterns around the bust area etc.

I know what you mean my family actually have big busts and I’m the only one who is an A but it doesn’t really matter ‘cause i compete in a lot of sport so I think that maybe if I had bigger boobs they would hurt so I’m grateful for what I have!
Posted by Rayah "on" 01/24 "at"03:10 PM
I hated having big boobs so went on a diet and lost so much weight to get small boobs - just accept them, I’m soooo much happier with them smaller!!! and you can fit clothes so much better!

YOU HAVE WHAT YOU ARE MENT TO HAVE, BIG SMALL OR WHATEVER THEY BOTH DRIVE MEN CRAZY

Big boobs and small boobs both have their ups and downs so just think of the up side of whatever you have smile
Posted by 9384 "on" 01/14 "at"07:04 PM
I don’t think I would ever like to have big boobs.
They would just get in the way.
Posted by sliinky "on" 01/14 "at"06:47 PM

saying it to me like i dont know
Posted by Khylan "on" 01/14 "at"01:38 PM
Hey, I know exactly how you feel! I recently turned 18 and I have a slim figure, but I am also only a small A cup. I have tried everything from pills to drinking loads of soy milk! However, nothing worked and eventually I realised that we are only given one body in our lifetime that we need to cherish and look after. I have learned to love my body - nobody is perfect - and to love certain things that make me unique and different. I would much rather love who I am and have small boobs than go to drastic measures to change this fact about my boy and end up looking like most other women. I hope you can, too, realise how special and unique your body is and learn to love it =)
