Women of Reddit – how much does breast size actually matter to you (or in general)? And do you have a preferred cup size for yourself?

r/

Ladies, does boob size affect how feminine or confident you feel? Got a cup size you prefer or wish for? Just curious, no judgment!

    Not that bizarre of a question, some women are actively shamed for having small breasts, or sexualised for larger sizes.

    My own size never gave me grief, but I am getting self conscious about their shape as I age.

    Confidence – most definitely!

    I have gained weight in the last few years and my breasts went from 36D to 38E. It would be one of the main reasons I want to lose weight. I look very square or boxy in a lot of my outfits and when I see photos I am always surprised just how much larger breasts have changed my body shape in outfits. Of course I have gained weight all over but in terms of my body shape my breasts have a lot of influence. I would love to be a 36D again.

    C is a perfect size for me. My boobs grew to a D then DD during pregnancy. I didn’t feel more feminine, I was just agitated for the inconvenience 😭

    Preferred size is B.
    C is probably okay but would look less stylish in some outfits that I like

    The goddamn gap when wearing a button-down, or feeling like ten-pound weights while ascending stairs during PMS– other than that–they matter as much as my elbow does.

    Having big boobs, I was always pretty confident about them but I did have a hard time during school years with dress codes because I could wear the same damn thing as everyone else but I still got detention because I had cleavage. My male teachers were always the ones writing me up too so it was really creepy.

    Size matters to me only in the sense that I don’t really like having breasts at all so I’m just grateful they’re very small. If I woke up tomorrow without them, I certainly wouldn’t miss them. They don’t mean anything whatsoever to me in terms of confidence or how I view myself.

    The smaller the better.

    cup size without band size is meaningless. “a C cup” doesn’t mean anything except a 3″ difference between bust and underbust. 30C? 40C? those are completely different sizes. and the vast majority of women are wearing the wrong bra size anyway (thanks to bra brands that use outdated sizing methods and advertise bras that fit terribly) so they think C is medium and DD is huge when they’re both smaller than average. most people who think they’re a 34B are actually like a 30D-G. I’m a 34DDD/36DD and nobody in their right mind would ever say I have big tits. I don’t mind them, but also wouldn’t mind if they were bigger because they’re kind of disproportionately small compared to my butt/thighs. doesn’t affect my femininity or how I see myself though; they’re just blobs of fat.

    love boobs. size doesn’t matter. all titty good titty. thanks for coming to my ted talk.

    I’m a size 10 in bottoms and 12 – 14 UK in tops.

    When I was younger, finding the right size bra was a pain and if I did it was those ugly playtex bras with 10 hooks at the back.

    Nowadays it’s easier. Currently, I a 32J / 34HH depending on brand and cup of bra.

    I’m happy with what I’ve got. I got rid of any insecurities I had years ago especially after having children and I breastfed all my children.

    My boobs, my breast friends, my titties are mine and I’m happy to have and love them.

    Simple question..
    Do I actually want to look down her blouse?
    Not always.

    I’ve gone from big boobs to huge boobs due to weight gain. I hate it.

    I liked my boobs when they were smaller. They are proportional alright to my weight judged only by looks at the moment but they are impractical and I don’t like that they are so heavy. I’d love to have smaller boobs.

    Not at all. But I liked them better when they were smaller because of practical reasons.

    Big boobs are over rated, the boob sweet and back pain and just the general weight of carrying them on your chest daily. If I could trade for a smaller chest I would! I would prefer a C/D cup smaller is defo better
