Saturday 9th July 2011

We went to Clacton last weekend for a family day out - it was lovely however I am unable to wear the clothes I want to wear. I am totally frustrated as even the companies that specialise in bigger bras don't sell bikinis to fit the bigger busted lady. They seem to stop at a g cup. If I am totally honest I don't particularly wish to wear a bikini but it would be nice to be able to purchase a swimsuit or tankini so that when on the beach I don't feel out of place... Instead I sat there in one of my horrible mammoth tops wishing I could be sunning my shoulders in one of my strapless tops!! I really really hate being like this and just want to be normal again..

  1. You sound like someone with big breasts complaining about it. If you truly had gigantomastia, real gigantomastia like what i had when i was a teen. You would be thankful you could fit into a bra period!!! You speak on being a L cup and your 31 i'm in the us so i know our bra sizes are different but i was wearing a 40R when i was 16my breasts were so big to the point that believe that the 40r bra i was wearing was just a favor nodded off in my direction to make me feel normal cause honestly nothing but 10+xl shirts would even go over my chest. Then you cant even imagine school i could barely walk around. Eventually when they grew some more by 12th grade i was immobile and had to be put on homebound from school because my breasts handicapped me. When i finally convinced my mother to let me get a reduction for my own health i was 17 and honestly thought i was going to die. My doctor removed nearly 60lbs of breast from me and reduced me down to around a H or an i cup. I still wanted big breasts and enjoyed the feeling of having them alot just didnt want the suffering from being a freak anymore. But now im 25 and back to a 36O cup and looking to reduce again. But the simple moral of this story is. Real gigantomastia is disfiguring and crippling i could barely wear cloths or walk and it was solved with a reduction. And im sure that the uk has better health insurance for coving such things.

  2. Firstly, I would like to state that I am not a person complaining of having big breasts. I can truly sympathise with your comments as I can imagine how tough it has been for you. However I would ask you not to dismiss that I have suffered too. I have had 2 senior consultants confirm that I have Gestational Gigantomastia so believe you me I am not the type of person to say I have something that I don't. I am not sure if you read all of my entries - if so you will see that mine occurred during pregnancy. Trust me I know how debilitating this condition is - by week 20 of my pregnancy I was unable to breathe properly and needed help getting around. I was also having to cope with the weight of my growing baby too. The decision was made to deliver my baby early which was extremely difficult for my husband and I to deal with as my health was deteriorating rapidly. My whole body started to react against me and I was hospitalised because my consultants were just so worried that if I had any more growth it would affect not only my health but my baby's health too. They were growing so fast I like you, thought I was going to die - I could not understand why this was happening to me. Therefore it wasn't just me I had to think about but my unborn baby too. So whatever I decided to do could have seriuosly impacted on my baby - not easy.

    I have had to endure comments from the public - such vile vile comments - I can imagine school must have been awful for you but trust me the teenage/adult public here have been something else and beyond cruel. I admit my boobs were not as large as yours but for a 5ft, dress size 8 person they were and still are pretty darn large! Ridiculously large. I have had some regression - which is normal for gestational gigantomastia - however nowhere near as much as the consultants had hoped which is why I am awaiting reduction surgery. My diary was created for me to vent my frustrations and sound off when I felt the need. Therefore if someone takes the mickey out of me I put it in my blog. When I face an obstacle like going to the beach I put it in my blog. The main reason for this is to give people an idea as to what a person with this condition has to live with on a daily basis. I am only trying to get some support and understanding of this condition out there by as I say giving an insight into this to try and help people in our situation and hopefully stop some of the ignorance and comedy aspect displayed towards bigger boobed ladies. I also would like to add that it isn't just about having the cartoonish freakish size breasts - it is the emotional aspect too that I have struggled to deal with. Some people take it in their stride but I am not like that I am afraid and have found my diary helpful in sounding off. I heard from a lady in the US who got gestational gigantomastia too. She did not get as large as myself but totally understood the obstacles faced. She is awaiting surgery as she still feels they are just too big for her frame. None of us have asked for this - we have gone from having virtually nothing to enormous in the space of a few months so it's not easy to deal with such a dramatic change to your body.

  3. continued....
    I do feel frustrated that you say I do not have Gigantomastia - the condition takes on many forms and affects people to different degrees. I know how lucky I was that my breasts didn't get down to my knees but the doctors could see how my body and my baby were suffering and had to make the decision to deliver my baby to try to prevent that from happening and also to save my baby. Who's to say that they wouldn't have grown to that size if this had not been done. All I know is they were growing at such a fast rate. At the time of giving birth I was trying to squeeze into a L cup - I actually was unable to find a bra to fit me and we were trying to strap my breasts down with bits of bandage so trust me this is not just a case of a woman with big breasts complaining.

    I have had a really harrowing time and when you say it's disfiguring you bet it is. I now have breasts that are browny purple in colour, nipples the size of small planets which don't stop leaking as well as mass contusions of tissue build up which have made them extremely lumpy. They are also pendulous in shape. I have yet to meet any woman with rather than round in shape. I have yet to meet any woman with large breasts who has the same appearance as this yet and I know quite a few. It has been awful.. There has been no support network here in terms of how to deal with this condition which is why I set up my blog to try to connect with fellow sufferers who could understand my feelings and perhaps get some positive feedback (to which I have had some). I did not set it up to be told I do not have this when I have been told by my consultants that I do. From what I gather you had virginal gigantomastia whereas mine was gestational so 2 completely different forms but both caused by exaggerated hormone release at crucial points of a woman's life. My consultant has informed me that I am the 5th british case he has seen in his 20 year career and also one of the worst cases of gestational gigantomastia at that. I have had friends and family urge me to create this blog as they felt this would be a really positive thing to do.

    As for reduction surgery, I am awaiting this - I don't have to go on any waiting list as this is classed as a pathological medical condition - however I have to wait for any hormonal issues to abate before surgery can be undertaken. My consultant has informed me that the surgery I need is risky and can only be done when he is satisfied I am in the right health. Therefore I do not take this decision lightly to undergo surgery but luckily our NHS system will cover this operation when the time comes.


    Maybe now you will take a different view of my situation ...

  4. I appreciate the points being made about bras. I buy Elila 1305 bras in a 50N and my Mum is great at taking the sides in to roughly a 38" band equivalent. Haven't a clue how this compares with your R cup but it sort of works for me. I have a slim back so problems sticking out at the side as well as the front.

  5. Hi there,

    My name is Brittnee, I’m casting a new documentary style series for a major cable television network and I’m looking for women with naturally large breasts. The show will follow around several women as they navigate dating, job hunting, and the day-to-day challenges of living with extremely large breasts.

    If you are interested, have any referrals or can get the word out, please feel free to reach out to me at brittneecasting@gmail.com. I am happy to answer any questions and provide more information!

    Thank you ladies!

  6. Hello, I to suffer from Gigantomastia.
    I can really relate to not finding suitable tops
    and swim wear as well.
    Currently I am 38Mm cup, I love my breasts but really dislike not having beautiful tops instead of XL tops ... I get my bras specially made.
    My breasts started out of control growth when I was 13., by start of high school I was 36dd.
    I am basically a 40 band size, but 38 gives me better
    support.
    I'd like to find a good swim wear for my size too.
    My name is Suzanne, I am 26.,.. On my way too a new bra size N cup.
    You can email me for any help or support.

  7. hello girls.,

    Back again - I had my six month check up and bra sizing this month. I noticed a bit more tenderness in my breasts last few months and occasional pain.
    My hormone levels actually were higher a bit from last year., I am in fairly good health but my weight increased about 5 pounds. Most of which is in my breasts-- my legs or thighs get stronger I think due to added weight I carry...
    My breasts now weigh over 20 lbs each.
    I was fitted last week for a P cup bra.
    I gained well over two cup sizes in 15 months.
    Good news, my lingerie shop made me a nice blue swimsuit top. ( red in color)
    And my mom put a hot tube just off our patio for me.
    It sure helps my back pain.
    My doctor said I could take some advil if my breast pain bothered to much.
    If you need support or questions feel free

  10. hello, Suzanne again.
    For those also with gigantomastia I feel for you too.
    Please do not get me wrong., I do not hate my breasts- I just want them to stop growing. I had a very big growth spurt in February., it lasted over one month. I gained two sizes, I now am wearing S cup bra. Luckily I found a bra shop that sells this size. I also had a shock, my breasts started producing milk., my doctor says it was too be expected. So I pump my breasts twice a day.
    I hope your all doing good. you can contact me if you like-

  11. hi, this is a update, i am still mostly wearing a S cup bra. Also, i have been pumping my breastmilk for almost a year. i have no idea how i got too this point. My breast growth seems to be slowly gaining, but for me i am currently lactating quite a bit. For me i am wearing now the largest cup size now made in a nursing bra.
    i am always available to chat if you like. Just email me- StacyAnn60@aol.com

  12. hello again im still fitting in S cup bra- my doctor thinks i might be slowing down in my growth to get breast reduction. i am thinking of maybe going down to H cup measurement.
    i was pumping milk at one time, that also has diminished a little. my mother is glad i stopped lactating , i am just having slight milk problem still.
    Best of luck to you all...

  13. hello this is Stacy back for updste- just had my check up on July 15. My doctor thinks I am doing better. I only gained a little over past year. I am wearing now a 42S cup bra- the 42 seems best suited for me,I think I am a SS cup. The best news I stopped lactating, but my areolas are still quite large- even though I don't see them.
    For all your ladies out there, things do get better. I am only 29, I hope soon I can get a reduction. If I can be of support for you. I'd love that.
