“Big breasts” is a relative concept. You may feel like you have large breasts just because they are bigger than they were before, perhaps because you entered puberty, gained weight, or even got breast implants. Also, the breasts may seem large in comparison with other women or their average shape. Regardless of the reasons why you think your breasts are large or because of which they became such, there are many ways that can help you take care of them properly.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Choosing the Right Bra

1. 1 Get a good grasp of the moment when it's time to wear bras. Breasts that grow during puberty can be a source of your admiration, but due to the impressive restructuring of the body, this process can also scare you a little, and this is completely normal. When the pimples start to grow and possibly get worse, it's time to get your first bra. Fortunately, there are many different types of bras to choose from. The most important thing in any bra (regardless of your age) is that it should fit you in size and be comfortable. The bra should provide support and protection for the breasts, cover them well and give them an attractive shape so that they look good under the clothes.
2. 2 Head to the store to buy your first bra. Buying bras at any age can be both fun and frustrating. These items, like shoes, are made to standard sizes, but size specifications vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. As with shoes, you will probably need to do a few fittings before you find the perfect bra for you.
3. 3 Ask a lingerie store consultant to determine your size. While you can take measurements for your bra at home, it is a good idea to ask a lingerie store consultant for help when buying your first bra or just to find the most suitable size for you. When you walk into the store, tell the salesperson that you need to determine your bra size. You will be directed to the fitting room and two measurements will be taken: the girth under the bust and the girth of the bust at the most prominent points. The first measurement determines the size of the "belt" of the bra, and the difference between the first and second measurements affects the size of the "cups".
   • The circumference under the bust in centimeters is the first numerical indicator of the bra size (for example, 70, 75, 80, and so on).
   • The bust (or rather the difference between the bust and the under bust) determines the fullness of the bra cup (eg A, B, C, and so on).
4. 4 Try on as many different models as possible. Once you decide on the size, the sales assistant will start offering you different models of bras to try on. For women with curvy breasts, sizing is only the initial step. The size may need to be adjusted depending on the specific bra to fit you well. In the end, it’s not the size that’s on the bra that matters, but how well the underwear fits you. Sometimes, when trying on, it immediately becomes clear how much this bra is suitable for you. In other cases, even after trying on a bra, it is difficult to know if it fits well.
5. 5 Make sure the bra you choose really suits you well. Sometimes, when trying on a bra, you can't immediately understand whether it suits you or not. Don't worry if you take into account a few points, it will be easier for you to make the right choice.
   • See if the bra cups are flat on your chest? If they have emptiness or wrinkles, the bra is probably too big for you. If the breasts fall out of the cups, then the bra is too small for you.
   • Check to see if the bra strap is snug against your chest. The bridge that connects the two cups of the bra should be adjacent to the sternum. If it doesn't, then the bra is either large or small.
   • See if the bra strap runs parallel to the floor under the arms and down the back? The bra belt (its lower fixing strip) should lie flat. It MUST NOT bulge up or go down. On the back, it should go directly under the shoulder blades.
   • Check your bra straps to see if they cut into your shoulders. The main support of the breast should be provided by the bra itself, and not by its straps. If the straps cut into your shoulders, then the bra is not the right size for you.
   • Do bra underwires fit well under the bust? The bones should not cut into the flesh, stab you, or stick out to the sides. The curvature of the bones should match the shape of the lower chest.
   • See how well your breasts are in a bra? The center of the breasts in the bra should be midway between the elbows and shoulders. The nipples should be facing forward, not down or to the sides.
   • Check if the bra is comfortable in all positions? Walk, sit down, move your hands and think, are you comfortable in it? See if you can slip one finger under the belt of your bra without making it too tight? If the answers to all of the questions are yes, then you've probably found the bra that suits you best!
6. 6 Get the right sports bra for yourself. If casual bras are not for you, you can turn your attention to their sports counterparts. And if you decide to buy just such a bra, you should consider a number of important points.First, no sports bra will immobilize your breasts during sports and exercise, but will help minimize chest movement to keep you comfortable. The selection of the size of the sports bra is no different from the usual one and is determined by the size of the belt and cups. If you already know your size, great, if not, a sales assistant will help you take your measurements. Having decided on the size, you can start choosing the model that interests you.
   • Compression or supportive bra. Compression bras literally press the breasts against the body to prevent significant hesitation. However, they are usually only effective for women with small breasts and low intensity exercise. On the other hand, supportive bras are equipped with molded cups, which hold lush breasts in place better than compression bras.
   • Bra with wide or crossed straps. Crossed straps converge at the back to provide more bust support (and also stay firmly in place). On the other hand, wide straps allow you to more evenly distribute the weight of the chest, which falls on the shoulders.
   • One-piece or closure bra. One-piece bras are a kind of tops that are worn over the head or over the legs. This bra is only made of fabric, so it cannot be adjusted in size. Snap-on sports bras are similar to everyday bras and are better suited for larger breasts because they provide better support.
7. 7 Learn to choose the right clothes for large breasts. It can be difficult to dress elegantly with large breasts. When buying blouses, you should pay attention to elongated models. The extra length of the blouse will visually lengthen the upper body and narrow the waist, giving your figure a more balanced look. Three-quarter sleeves are also helpful as they naturally take your eyes off your chest. Depending on the size of your breasts, you may also want to opt out of tank tops. For the neckline, look for a V-neck or other deep cut. The plunging neckline makes large breasts look more attractive.

Method 2 of 2: Taking care of your breasts on a daily basis

1. 1 Forget the myths that the size of your growing breasts can be influenced. Unfortunately, there are many myths about breast development and control over this process. In general, there can be no control over the development of the breast and its final size. There is no physical exercise that can help you make your breasts bigger or smaller. The mammary glands are mainly made up of adipose tissue and milk ducts, not muscles. Even if you try to sleep on your stomach, it will not in any way affect your breasts (except that it will simply be uncomfortable with increased sensitivity). Likewise, wearing a bra will not help you enlarge or shrink your breasts, even if you don’t take it off at night (which is not necessary).
2. 2 Take pride in the changes in your body. Breast development is not something that can be hidden for a long time. It is very likely that other people besides you will soon begin to pay attention to this. Changes like this can make you feel stressed and insecure, accompanied by thoughts of what others think of you. Know that these experiences are perfectly normal.
   • Try not to compare yourself to girls on TV or on the internet. Don't match yourself with promotional images. Photos of models in advertisements are unrealistic and in most cases are the result of processing in Photoshop. You should not strive to be like someone else besides yourself.
   • Remember that you are beautiful no matter what.And remember that real beauty comes from within! Remind yourself of this every day if necessary.
   • Your feelings are normal, so don't be upset about them. However, if you are experiencing an emotional imbalance, try to ensure that it does not negatively affect your health. Eat right, get quality sleep, and exercise regularly. If you are unable to secure any of these items, talk to your parents, teachers, school psychologist, or doctor as soon as possible.
3. 3 Learn to deal with jokes and bullies. Puberty is the age at which a girl becomes aware of her appearance and feels the need to adapt to change. When the body begins to change in strange ways, there is additional stress from thinking about what is normal and what is not. Perhaps your parents no longer remember what happened to them at that age with all these changes and stress. And you have a chance to remind them of this, if they haven't figured it out yet. Tell them that the way you feel is not funny to you, and that it is better not to joke with you. You may be teased at school by making rude comments about changing body shapes. Just remember that most of those who do this feel insecure themselves and discuss you out of envy or out of their own fear.
   • Find yourself a worthy role model. Perhaps it will be your older sister, aunt, or your favorite teacher. This person should not follow the so-called stereotypes, but simply be himself.
4. 4 Pay attention to neck pain. Large breasts can potentially lead to neck pain. However, it is not the direct cause of this problem. Neck pain appears not so much because of the physical size of the breasts, but because of the things that you do subconsciously, being the owner of a large bust. For example, if you are embarrassed about large breasts, you may slouch. Slouching posture is bad in itself and can cause neck pain. Sometimes slouching is not the result of insecurity, but the result of a large chest weight. If you have really large and heavy breasts, this can force your body to lean forward, which can hurt your back and neck muscles and even possibly dislocate your spine. Finally, the wrong bra can also cause a wide variety of problems. If the bra straps cut into your shoulders, you can also tilt your neck forward and slouch your shoulders. Posture disorders can cause back and neck pain.
   • When you are happy with your chest, your posture itself will improve as a result of your confidence.
   • Choosing the right bra has the potential to solve some of these problems.
   • The implantation of large breast implants can also be the source of the above problems. Therefore, the possible consequences should be taken into account even before going to the clinic for breast augmentation surgery.
5. 5 Consider the possible risk of developing breast cancer. If your breasts have become larger due to the fact that you have gained excess weight, you may need to consider losing weight. Women who gain 15–20 kg of extra weight between the ages of 18 and before menopause are 40% more likely to develop breast cancer after menopause. The reason for the increased risk of breast cancer is because the increased body fat increases the level of estrogen. Also, weight gain is usually associated with insufficient physical activity, which also increases the risk of developing breast cancer.
   • The best way to eliminate these risks is to lose weight before or at the start of menopause.
   • To help reduce your risk of breast cancer and effectively lose weight, try moderate to vigorous exercise for 45-60 minutes, five days a week.
6. 6 Take care of your psychological health. Large (or even different sizes) breasts can cause psychological problems in some women, including low self-esteem and appetite problems. A woman's idea of ​​her own breasts has a huge impact on her self-confidence. Unfortunately, such violations do not have negative physiological consequences for the body, therefore, corrective plastic surgery of the breast is not included in the list of services covered by compulsory health insurance. Nevertheless, many surgeons note that after various breast correction operations in women there are significant changes in the psychological state for the better.
   • If your breast problems cause you psychological problems, but do not have any other physiological manifestations, this does not make them less important. If this is the case, you may need to consider the types of surgery available to you.
7. 7 Learn when and how to deal with chest pain. Breast pain, called mastalgia, is quite common and familiar to all women, regardless of actual breast size. Symptoms of mastalgia can include tenderness, a burning sensation, or tension. They can be relatively mild or extremely painful. Fortunately, in most cases, chest pain is not an indicator of any serious problem, such as breast cancer. The most common causes of chest pain are hormonal levels, structural and traumatic breast damage in the past (for example, breast surgery and the like), taking certain medications (oral contraceptives, ovulation stimulants, antidepressants, etc.) and breast size itself.
   • If you are concerned about chest pain, consult a gynecologist. Your doctor will examine your breasts and refer you for an ultrasound or mammogram if further examinations are needed.
   • Your doctor may recommend topical anti-inflammatories to help manage your pain, as well as make changes to the course of hormonal or other medication that is causing you problems. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe certain prescription medications as well as recommend hot or cold compresses and general guidelines for reducing caffeine and fatty foods.
