    Well, since I have been with my husband. I have gone from a C cup to a P cup (American sizes) naturally and the resulting chronic back pain says: no one needs implants. Just a partner who makes you feel good about the body that you have. (And by god is it hard to get health insurance to cover breast reduction surgery)

      I’m sorry for your gain, as a C myself I can’t empathize but I can sympathize. Even swelling a few cup sizes during lactation was uncomfortable. What situation took you to P, if you’re willing to share?

      (And it’s a crime about the insurance, that’s definitely a health issue.)

        Cup size is irrelevant without band size. I’m making the assumption that you’ve grown a lot but I could also assume you were wearing something like a 48C and went down to a 30P after finding a correctly fitting bra.

        Edit: ignore me idk how to reply to people apparently 🤣

        Well, my husband warned me that all of his former girlfriends all went up a couple sizes while he was with them and that the same thing might happen to me.

        Turns out being married to him for nearly 2 decades, resulted in far more than that…

          I’m pretty sure proximity to a person doesn’t cause breast size to exponentially increase. Unless that person is a plastic surgeon.

            I honestly thought that exact same thing when I met him on my 27th birthday and he told me that (I thought it was a joke).

            But I was a C cup from 17 to 27 and in less than 3 months of being with him, I was a D cup.

            His first girlfriend was a 34 year old woman who went from an A cup to a D cup and then left him within a span of 9 months.

              Did you gain 200lb? Massive weight gain is pretty much the only way an adult naturally quintuples their chest size.

              If not, hopefully you’ve seen a doctor, because it sounds like a serious medical issue.

                About 92lbs of weight and believe me when I say; appointments with my doctor are every month and physical therapy are weekly appointments for me. And my insurance has rejected the medically necessary breast reduction over 200 times.

      Not trying to be a smartarse here but what on Earth is a P-cup!? The largest I’ve ever heard of is an I-cup; in my imagination a P-cup engulfs the planet. How do you live???

        With chronic back pain and fatigue.

        Honestly cup sizes after F lose all meaning because no two manufacturers will be the same size and after N, everything is custom and cost hundreds of dollars (or more).

        It is like walking around with a middle school student strapped to your chest. And it just sucks.

      It’s crazy they won’t cover that. My girlfriend flew herself and a friend to Turkey a few years ago and paid for hotel stays and it still ended up being cheaper to have her reduction done there than it would have been for her to do it state-side

        My aunt did that with laser eye surgery. It was cheaper for her to get a passport and go to Canada for a week for it than it was to get it in the States.

        breathing reduction issue

        Lol. Often when I’m snuggling my partner I don’t just rest my arm on her chest, I pull downward so the boobage is off the neck and she always thanks me 😅

              The Mayo Clinic doesn’t mention ruptures necessarily being fatal, and seem to imply that it’s quite survivable until being able to be seen by a doctor.

              So if one is desperate, while it may not be the optimal choice, survival seems probable, though not necessarily guaranteed.

      (And by god is it hard to get health insurance to cover breast reduction surgery)

      But you should be able to get a tax write off if you count it as a loss. :)
