Kate Upton: ‘I wish I had smaller boobs every day of my life’

Kate Upton

Kate Upton is famous for her figure, particularly her rack. Men love her enormous assets, and women (many of them, anyway) love that Kate is bringing a slightly fuller figure to fashion magazines. Kate hasn’t ever said much about her own rack — until now, what really needed to be said? Now she’s complaining a little about the assets that made her famous. Kate reveals that she’s always wanted smaller ones. Every day of her life, she’s wanted to wear spaghetti straps without busting out. She drops the “grass is always greener” cliché, but it’s true! Most women that I’ve talked to would prefer to have the opposite of their given chest size. Kate appreciates what her rack has done for her career, but she’d still like to take them off after work. If only that was possible:

They’re two of the biggest stars in fashion, double-billing on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Vogue and Vanity Fair and lusted over by countless admirers – still, Kate Upton can’t stand them.

“I wish I had smaller boobs every day of my life as I love to wear spaghetti tops braless or go for the smallest bikini designs,” the supermodel and actress tells Britain’s The Sun on Sunday.

“Every single day, I’m like, ‘Oh, man, it would be so much easier,’ especially if people didn’t constantly bring them up,” she confesses of her two biggest assets.

At least twice a day she wishes she were smaller up top, Upton, 21, admits. “But the grass is always greener, as they say!”

If only they were a little more like . . . earrings, the covergirl muses of her natural-born 34-D’s.

“If I could just take them off like they were clip-ons.”

Upton is making her “serious” acting debut with the upcoming The Other Woman, and she cites Cameron Diaz as possessing the ideal physique.

“In my eyes, Cameron Diaz has the perfect figure,” she gushed.

In the film, which opens April 25, Upton, Diaz and Leslie Mann play three women who bond over a plot to take revenge on one man who cheated on them all.

And while Mann, 42, plays a grounded, devoted housewife and Diaz, 41, plays a tough Manhattan lawyer, Upton plays a flirty, ditzy blonde.

It’s not typecasting, insists Upton, who has already won rave reviews for her intelligence and acting chops from her much older co-stars.

“I think it’s funny to act like a dumb blonde. I know that’s not the case so why not play on it?” she tells The Sun.

“But I actually don’t look at my character as dumb,” Upton adds. “I think of her as young and naive, like I was once.”

Like it or not, Kate’s livelihood is directly tied to her chest size. She’s made her name upon her glorious rack, so it must be bittersweet for her to wage a daily mental battle with their existence. Maybe she can save up enough money for retirement over the years and then get a reduction? If that’s what she wants. She could change her mind before then.

Kate’s attitude about her girls is not unusual. Since we’re on the subject, I have an odd, chest-related predicament of my own. My rack is the first place that I lose or gain weight. They’ve been a 38D, a 36B, and everywhere in between. They fluctuate in size depending on hormones, stress, or where I’m at in a training cycle. It sucks to have to keep a variety of bras and tops on hand depending on what these damn things want to do. Please tell me about your own size-related boob problems and make me feel better.

    Yeah good idea basing your career around them then?

    • Tatjana says:

      Yeah. I like her, but from the chest down her figure is pretty bad. If she didn’t have boobs, she wouldn’t have a career.

      • Dani2 says:

        I’ve always thought the same, and I’m not body-shaming her, she’s clearly a bombshell and she’s gorgeous but she’s always looked more boxy than curvy to me.

      • Tatjana says:

        She is boxy. And it would be great if there were more boxy models, and curvy models and models of all shapes and sizes – because women of all shapes and sizes wear clothes. Shocking, I know.
        Bit sadly, that isn’t the case, so Kate’s boobs are her career.

      • Artemis says:

        Her figure is pretty bad.

        Why? Most people don’t have the ‘coveted’ hourglass (= curvy). Maybe if we weren’t so negative about the other body types, people would be happy with what they have. There’s nothing wrong with being boxy (or pear, apple shaped etc).

        I know people are not trying to body-shame her but we are with those little remarks. I find those way worse than outright saying something offensive because that’s easy to recognise and call somebody out on imo.

        And most models are NOT curvy. A lot of them have no waist (look at Bündchen) but she is so good at her job, she can create the illusion of a defined waist. Her body is like Upton’s but skinny!

      • Tatjana says:

        I expressed myself wrong. I corrected it in my comment below. I should have said she doen’t have the bodyshape the fashion industry considers as “ideal”.

      • Dani2 says:

        @Artemis I can’t speak for everyone but all I said was that she is boxy, which is not an insult, it’s a body-type. I myself am pear-shaped. I didn’t say that her being boxy made her any less attractive.

      • Artemis says:

        I didn’t detect real vitriol in any of your comments but I wanted to point out those tiny remarks that are quite damaging in real-life. Body insecurity doesn’t come from nowhere and it’s not just men who perpetuate this ‘ideal body type’ or curvy/fit/is better than skinny stuff.

      • Penguin says:

        Don’t project your insecurities onto her. She is an attractive young woman with an above average figure. Don’t feel bad cos u don’t look like her, most people don’t & that’s ok.

      • I agree 100%, Artemis.

      • Nina says:

        Actually a lot of models have boxy figures. See, for example, Gisele:

        http://technorati.com/entertainment/celebrity/article/gisele-bundchen-gets-bitten-by-the/

        As someone who has a ‘ruler’ body shape, I can say that it can look nice and lean — as long as you don’t put on excess weight. Rulers are good at keeping weight off (which is another reason why the modeling industry likes them, in addition to not having too many curves to break up the lines of clothing) but when they do put on weight, it usually tends to be in the midsection first which just makes the person look boxier. *pats her tummy*

        There are very few hourglass figures in the modeling industry — although I am talking more high fashion/runway modeling that commercial. High fashion models are simply hangers for clothing; commercial models (VS would fall into this category) are more about sex appeal and that is where you’ll find more hourglass figures. I don’t think Kate Upton is either a ruler (most rulers don’t have large chests) or an hourglass (her waist isn’t small enough in comparison to her hips); I’d guess that she has an apple shape.

        Which great! Like someone else mentioned, having diversity in body shapes in media/advertising is important, even if all we are getting at the moment is the most idealized versions of each shape. Now, if they could just lay off the Photoshop, little girls’ self-esteems might have a chance…

      • V4Real says:

        @nina but Gisele is flat wheras Kate is not and it makes her look fuller in that area.

      • FLORC says:

        Her body makes me shy away from buying whatever she’s modeling. Her body type is not my body type. Lots of others feel the same. That’s why models come in all shapes…

        Also that Kate does not have an hour glass figure. She’s more boxy like Fergie. She can wear clothes and pose to make her look more curvy, but the waist to hip/chest ratio is absolutely not oldschool/generic hour glass.

        Also, this seems like Kate feels she made the cross over to film/tv so she can start talking about how what gave her a career as a bad thing. She’s not there yet and for me, comes off more ungrateful. Although, i’m a 32b. At Kate’s smalest i’m still smaller.

    • Delorb says:

      Aren’t they fake? Real breasts don’t stay in a string bikini like hers do. Maybe tape is involved, but somehow I doubt it. And one doesn’t have to stomp to get real breasts to, ahem, move.

      • raindrop says:

        I assumed she had augmented her already large breasts with implants. But some women do have very pert, firm breasts, especially in their late teens/early twenties. Hers could be real.

      • scooter says:

        Kate’s 21. Also, have you heard of Photoshop? She’s still young and perky, so she can totally wear string bikinis. It’s all about the ties in the back and neck.

      • V4Real says:

        She wish she had smaller boobs. Well your wish is my command said the plastic surgeon.

        If she really desired a smaller chest, why not get them reduced. I know a couple of women who have done just that and they love it.

      • Decloo says:

        Those boobs are totally real. I have large breasts too and am, otherwise quite thin. My breasts tend to make me look heavier than I am, especially in turtlenecks and crew neck tops.

      • FLORC says:

        V4Real
        She has the money and resources to make that happen. I do know a few ladies that have had reductions lead to complications years ago, but i’m sure it’s far improved now.

        Kate complaining about this seems like Lowe and ScarJo complaining about being too pretty. I lose all sympathy.

      • Delorb says:

        Sorry, but they aren’t. Real breast, no matter how perky don’t rise and fall in one huge swoop. There tends to be a ripple effect. She’s pretending just like Hendricks.

        Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Until the ‘before’ pictures start making the rounds.

      • Isadora says:

        She probably said this “I wish” comment to keep the surgery rumors at bay. But yes, they sometimes seem to be.. enhanced.

        As to the “get a reduction” comments here: I’m obviously not talking about Kate Upton here, but really. A breast reduction is a major surgery with a lot of scars and risks. Your boobs can look worse than before, they can lose sensibility, ability to breastfeed and all the normal risks of a major surgery. I understand that some women are willing to undergo the procedure if they are very unhappy with the way their breasts look (probably after having children) and other breast related nuisances like back pain etc.
        BUT why a healthy woman in her early 20s with big breasts should get a reduction just because she wants to wear spaghetti halter tops or something – that’s just completely foolish. And definitely not a question of money.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      But she isn’t curvy. She is boxy. She has boobs, but she does not have a well-defined waiste or hind-end. She is like an ironing board with big bloobs. If she sincerely wished for a smaller bust she would have them surgically reduced, but alas, there would go the money train, sooo….yah, not gonna happen because she doesn’t really want it. What she wants is to pretend that they aren’t her livlihood.

      • FLORC says:

        Wish I saw your booxy post before posting my own!
        !00% agree with your whole post.

      • homegrrrl says:

        I never could stand high fashion model bodies, I mean, not that I shame the 1% of women who were born to sustain long thin limbs, but I can’t stand to see it in catalogues or magazines. It’s actually rude to say she made her career out of her boobs alone, as she has an exudes an equally sweet youthful personality. Her body type is refreshing; yes it’s easier to fit and style a coat hanger type body, but isn’t enough enough? I’d rather her perfectly imperfect body featured in fashion.

    • Lilo says:

      That’s what I thought… My boobs are bigger and I really wish I had the means to do something about it (and I am way smaller than her, I am basically a tub of boobs). She makes a living with them. I understand where she’s coming from but she will still grace a cover of some magazine in a few weeks time anways, scarcely clad.

  2. GiGi says:

    I feel her pain… literally! And yours, Bedhead – I have a dresser full of bras ranging from B to E cups! And it is the first place I gain and the last place I lose. And now I’m on natural progesterone and they have a life of their own, lol! Huge! But at least the progesterone makes them kind of full and perky 😉

    I get what she’s saying and I don’t feel like she’s bemoaning her position too much. Just saying what most large chested women feel pretty regularly.

    • Birdix says:

      Similar here, although I have to lose so much weight for them to go down that at the moment it feels impossible. I’m a 30 ddd and they are all cysts (have hundreds in each breast). So lumpy, and depending on hormones, painful. If not cut right, tops either make me look heavy (high neck) or trashy (low neck). Doctor says there’s a 50/50 chance they’ll get much smaller when menopause happens, here’s hoping!

      • scotchy says:

        I totally totally hear your pain!! It’s nice to hear about others suffering the plight of the heavy chest. I lose weight every else EXCEPT my rack. It stays at a steady 30E/28F no matter what and my boobs are all cystic too..
        I basically live in oversized silk shirts because its too much of a hassle to find something that fits right and doesn’t make me look knocked up.. sigh..

    • sienna says:

      I here with you ladies. I was always a 34DDD until I got pregnant with my first. They got HUGE! Seriously bigger than my head.

      Since I’ve finished having kids and am back to my pre-pregnancy weight they are now a 32DD and luckily they haven’t lost too much volume, but if I put on a single pound it is in my bra first. SOOOO annoying.

      I also totally agree that they make you look top heavy which = bigger overall. And they are a pain in the ass for running. Seriously my jog bras cost more than my lingerie.

      • Dimebox says:

        Pregnancy and nursing made me huge. Years ago a good friend stuffed one of my nursing bras for her Halloween costume as Dolly Parton. The effect on her tiny frame was hilarious and also let me see how big I had been.

      • Snazzy says:

        Seriously, sports bras are a pain for us full figured ladies!! At times I have to wear two to make sure they are kept in place, and it’s still not enough … it’s like those idiotic sports companies don’t realise that women with boobs also want to be active … sooo annoying

    • MsCatra says:

      Sitting over here with this group. I’m very petite, but at my thinnest I was still a 32D. During pregnancy I was up to 34H (briefly I while nursing), and now two years later am “down” to 32DDD. Pretty much every day I wish I had nice “normal” B or C cups.

      eta: And like Kate I’m boxy with a thick middle, so it’s not like I can buy fitted tops that stretch for my “assets”.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        I’m normally a 32DD but I’m currently nursing and wearing a 32G. At the moment I enjoy it because it distracts from the 20 lbs of baby weight I have to lose (after my third and final baby born on St. Patty’s day).

        @GiGi, why are you on progesterone, if you don’t mind me asking? I took it to maintain my pregnancy this time around.

      • GiGi says:

        I’m 5’7 and more hourglassy, but with a 32 DD (sometimes larger!) rack – even fitted things are horrible. It’s seriously frustrating to not be able to wear a fitted top without feeling like your breasts are the elephant in the room or that you’re being suggestive. Hell – with boobs like ours, even totally covered they’re just *out there* you know?

    • scooter says:

      Me too! I’ve been everything from a 34D to a 30J. I’m 5’3″ and it blows.

      These bras aren’t cheap, either! It’s not like we can run to Target and buy a $5 bra. Oh no. I pay about $60 per bra, and the fact that my breasts fluctuate in size drives me nuts!

      And I get Kate 100%. I wish for smaller breasts EVERY.DAY. People always comment on them, stare at them; I need to buy shirts in at least one size bigger than I need to accommodate them, they are just a pain. I’m all for body positivity, but it’s hard sometimes.

      • It'sJustBlanche says:

        Same here and also short. I usually stay around a 32H though. Most people dont’t think I’m that big but there are so many things I can’t wear. To be honest, I would LOVE to be a 34D.

    • Tulip Garden says:

      I empathize with her too! I don’t know why she shouldn’t say what many large breasted women say. I put on a tank top yesterday to cut my grass (I live in the middle of nowhere) just so I could feel that freedom once. Then reality hit and I realized how uncomfortable all that bouncing up and down was going to be. Looked at myself in the mirror and went to get my bra!

  3. Amelia says:

    I wish I had smaller breasts nearly every day. I’m not overly busty as it is (certainly not as much as Kate), but they always get in the way when I’m training; I have to strap them down to my chest to stop my knees banging them if I’m on my Time Trial bike because it’s such an aggressive position. But then it usually restricts my breathing.
    Ahh, to have a petite rack. I’d love to be able to go braless.
    I love Kate’s honesty, even though a large portion of her career is due to her awesome rack.

    • T.fanty says:

      Me too. It’s embarrassing to have to kind of hold one’s boobs discretely while running down the stairs – never mind the fact that I have to have a sports bra and a built-in bra top to run. I’m a D-DD cup, with a 4-6 lower half and clothes never fit properly. I sympathize.

      • Amelia says:

        Depending on where I am, when it comes to stairs I usually resort to a boob cradle – my lower arm rests discretely underneath them whilst I hold something in the cradling hand like a clipboard. That way I can use it to disguise the extra support and also look like I’m actually doing work.
        If I’m at home then I just hold those suckers down.
        Ah, to be able to run again.

      • Liberty says:

        T.fanty, me too. If very very summer thin, getting more running time, I am 34-C but usually sitting with a 34-36 D-DD cup, slim arms and neck and waist, 4 to 6 on the bottom. Every dress has to be tailored and I usually wear separate pieces and default to fitted buttoned shirts from Crew that I have tailored, or better knit tops that are mostly black or ink or richer tones,, well made so not saggy-looking or etc., with pencil skirts or pants. That line between v-neck feminine vs v-neck slutty, avoiding boat necks sometimes and finding fitted sheath-style dresses and slim fitting jackets….sigh. Just add my broader shoulders too. A good bra, from my local bra store with an experienced fitter, is everything! My grandmother drummed that into my head – woman in my family all have this shape. Mine are still, er, buoyant too, naturally, so I sometime identify strongly with Joan on MadMen! I double down on sports bras when running or at the gym, though a couple of brands are pretty good on their own. I will never fit into the “boy body” world!

    • L says:

      Ditto. 2-3 sports bras when I run or aggressive bike riding. And they are considered the ‘good’ quality sports bras. Otherwise they just get in the way.

      I forgot a sports bra when I was supposed to go to spin class, and my spouse tried to tell me to just do the class in my regular bra. HAHAHAHA-no honey I’m going home now. 🙂

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        I wear 2 sports bras that are too small and still need to hold my boobs when I run on the gym treadmill. Finally I just gave up on running and switched to fast uphill walking or using the elliptical for cardio. The last straw was when I got mastitis twice from wearing the restrictive bras and sweating profusely. Even when I’m not nursing I find it difficult to run because of my boobs. They either hurt because I don’t have enough support or I can’t breathe because my bras are too tight.

      • retromancer says:

        I don’t have any personal experience with the brand as I have non-existent boobs, but I’ve heard a lot of runners with larger breasts swear by Shock Absorber sports bras. I don’t know if that’s the brand you’ve tried (and they are expensive, unfortunately), but if you’re a keen runner/cyclist, it might be worth checking out?

  4. Jules says:

    Then get them reduced.

    • evie says:

      Easy to say but not everyone wants to go under the knife. Surgery is no walk-in-the-park.

      • sienna says:

        Tell me about it. My mom had it done & post op was so bad. She is thrilled with the results now, but it is a major surgery.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Right, and it can make you lose the feeling in your nipples, I have heard.

      • GiGi says:

        And for a lot of women, it’s not a long term fix – they can grow back 🙁

      • V4Real says:

        There are more women going under the knife to get implants than there are women going under the knife to have them reduced. As I said upthread, I know two women who had their breasts reduced and they said it’s the best thing they had ever done for themselves. I know surgery isn’t for everyone but they had no complications or loss of sensation in their nipples.

        I think Kate is just blowing smoke up our ass because she used her breasts to become famous, now she wants to play the role of I wish I had smaller boobs. Oh and I’m not hating because I’m a DD.

      • Jenna says:

        I have a ready to roll order in my medical file from 3 different docs who all have signed various bits of paperwork stating that a reduction in my case is to be viewed as a ‘required medical procedure, and not a cosmetic one’ so my insurance will pay pretty much all of the costs… and I still haven’t gotten the stones together to go under the knife. Despite a bad back, shoulder scarring and the desperate and constant hunt for bras that will work, I just can’t yet pull the trigger. After working hard to get healthy, I’m no longer at the staggering and eye water size of a 44HH (which, while massive, didn’t look THAT excessive on my 6’2 frame, thankfully) and now down to a ‘mere’ 34E, but still. It’s a massive operation, the recovery can be an absolute bitch, and it takes a lot longer and is a lot more complicated then getting implants. I’m trying to talk myself into setting a time frame at least – we’re trying to have kids this year, so maybe we’ll try for 2, have them and once the youngest is done needing me for a milk bar, I’ll soldier up and do it. But…

        really. Massive operation. Lots of time stuck on your back to heal. After a certain size, it leaves ‘cosmetic’ far far behind and gets kinda scary. (And yes. I fully accept being a total and abject coward in this area. HATE hospitals. I taught myself how to put in my own stitches just to avoid having to go when I’ve gotten hurt. Operations? There would have to be a month’s lead up of steadily increasing doses of Valium to get me to deal with it. Or I tell my husband I’m ready and can somehow just go straight to the operating room with no time to think about it. Otherwise? Complete scaredycat here)

      • kri says:

        On topic here for sure girls. I am at home as I type this, recovering from a breast reduction I got last Thursday. Let me tell you all, I am very pleased. At 5’3 I was a 38 DDD and miserable. I run four miles a day on my treadmill, and wore 2 Enell sports bras and a neoprene support band that guys wear around their waists when they lift at a gym. I will probably end up at 34-36 c/d. So, I did what I needed to make me happy. I hope all of you are happy and healthy, no matter what your size and shape may be. And if you aren’t there is nothing wrong with changing something.

    • Jaded says:

      I had really easy reduction surgery done 7 years ago – in and out in 1/2 a day and home from work a week. I didn’t even need pain relievers – the surgeon did most of the reduction via liposuction, then some excising of loose skin and repositioning of the nipples (which I have feeling in!). You can hardly see the scars now and they’re still perky and up where God intended them to be. Best decision EVER after suffering 36Es for ages.

    • Jessica says:

      If she got them reduced she wouldn’t have a career.

  5. blue marie says:

    I get where she’s coming from, I think I’ve wished that myself since about ninth grade?
    I hate that I can never wear the cute tops, always having to go 2 shirt sizes larger to get the length to cover my waist. I guess I’m luckier than you though Bedhead in that my boobs don’t really fluctuate, they stay about the same size just the back length changes.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I’m a D cup, not huge, but large enough so that it’s really hard to find shirts that fit. If they fit my body, the “boob” button won’t closest all, go up two sizes and there’s still a little gap, so I have to have snaps put in above and below the button, take up the shoulders and the back and the waist and the sleeves, so now I have added $60 to the price of the shirt. I like my breast size except for that.

      Bedhead, my size used to fluctuate with my period almost 2 sizes and was very painful. Now that I’m in menopause, they stay the same, between the two sizes, which makes that and not having your period two nice things about menopause. The rest sort of sucks.

    • L says:

      E cup here. I feel you on the cute tops, and don’t forget the dresses! All those strapless dresses and I’m like nope. Esp those with weird straps where you can’t wear a bra-who in the heck thinks those are a good design idea?

      Even the ones with straps that zip up I have to get 2 sizes larger, because they will fit everywhere except my boobs. I have to get the rest of the dress taken in.

      Oh how I long for the days when I had a C cup back in junior high. I dream of those days.

      • blue marie says:

        Oh yeah, I tried once (a long time ago) to go without a bra for this really cute dress and it ended up being a disaster. Gah, so stupid, I still cringe when I think about it.

        Oh and tube tops are always a no.

    • Erm says:

      Ahh, yes, I hate having to get larger sized shirts that then don’t fit anywhere else. Plus some dresses end up looking utterly disproportionate because the rack takes up the material so that the waist band and skirt is pulled up in front. Gahhh.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        I would also like to wear some of the pretty bras I see with tiny straps, but I have to look for pretty ones with wider straps, which are harder to find.

      • blue marie says:

        I’m with you GoodNames, so many cute bras that I can never wear. When I find a good, decent bra the only thing exciting about it is the color. I don’t think they make really cute bras for the bigger boobs.

      • mayamae says:

        I don’t mind so much that the “pretty bras” aren’t in my size. I hate those stupid things – the ones with thick padding and molded cups with a millimeter wide strap – hate them! My problem is simply finding a good supportive bra that isn’t
        “pretty”. And by the way, the bras I described are clearly for implants only (since those boobs hardly move), when did they stop designing bras for natural breasts?

      • Liberty says:

        I know! those thick ugly straps and the thick padding ones — do I WANT more padding? ha, no! I get my bras from a little bra shop, they are brilliant and can find nicer ones; most of the prettiest ones with a more natural fit seem to be Italian, though a couple of USA brands are idea too. Find a lingerie store and throw yourself on their mercy! You will be so glad you did.

    • mayamae says:

      I was a b cup by the age of twelve, and alternate between 34D and 34DD now. Having to wear larger tops simply to accommodate your boobs automatically makes you look fatter. I’m also 5’9″, so tops/dresses already run short on me. Worst of all, anything with an empire waist – automatic maternity wear look.

    People always bring them up because she’s always putting them out there. From what I can tell, they’re 90% of her career! However, I can sympathize with wanting smaller. And I have serious hair envy of that 2nd photo.

  7. Aura says:

    Umm, I definitely read another interview where she said she loved her boobs because she grew up on a beach and bigger-chested girls ruled the beach?! Wonder if working in high fashion is making her change her mind…

  8. Happyhat says:

    My boob problems – an eternal A cup, regardless of how much I weigh. When I was clocking 200lbs they were a 40A (and, the only 40A’s I could find were of the ‘sensible older lady’ variety of bra. I guess stores don’t think that you can be a 40 chest and have A cups), now I’ve lost weight they are 36A. When I get under 130lbs they are a 34AA. And they are constricted (or ‘tubular’) so they are very small flaps with nipples on the end (so, I can’t go bra-less), and currently due to the weight loss they are like tiny flaps with nipples. They never fill out bras, because bras are mostly for round-ish boobs and mine have no ‘meat’ under the nipple.

    If I ever have the money, I’m getting a boob job – somewhere in the B/C region. Apparently, I’ll need to pay a bit more because constricted breast surgery is a little more complicated than standard boob-jobbery (the muscle under the breast, that causes the ‘constriction’ needs to be sliced up or something, to not constrict the implant).

    Those are my boob woes!

    • PB&J says:

      Fellow small boober here. A cup, barely fill it out- 34A all the way. Also doesn’t matter how much I gain or lose (it all goes on or off my hips) the boobs ain’t budging. Wear a sports bra mainly to contain the nips. Cleavage takes an act of physics, Victoria’s Secret, and the right top. Ugh…

      • Happyhat says:

        *fellow small-boober hugs* I think I got some cleavage once – it was a rare accidental moment!

    • Mean Hannah says:

      Grass is always greener! The only time I had breasts bigger than “raisins” or “fried eggs” was when I was pregnant and nursing – I went up to C/D cup. Now, I’m back to my 14 year old bra size, but without firmness and perkiness. My sister, who is 41, was a D cup by 6th grade; even after pregnancy and breast feeding, still has fullness and perkiness to wear camisoles and string bikinis. Not fair.

    • Egla says:

      I had to gain 10 kg in 5 years to finally have some decent boobs. But still small ones, perky ones although thank God. No size change at all due to hormones fluctuation. In fact i am wearing the same bra from some years before because they still kind of fit me and push my boobs up like a VS model, gives me cleavage here.
      My sister had a breast reduction a month ago. She went from “Big boobs” to “Giant boobs” after pregnancy without breastfeeding. Just hormones . She had no problems and is very very happy. Now she says she can sleep on her stomach like me finally. Best decision ever. But before she was the queen of breasts among her friends, perky, round, big ones that didn’t need any bras AT ALL.

    • Isadora says:

      I don’t have boobs – never had, never will have (I’m between 32AA and 34AAA or something – according to a EU/US size converter). And I still have to wear bras to give the “nothing” a nice rounded shape.

      BUT I can still feel the pain of bigger breasted girls. Because, really, having no breasts is no hardship in everyday life. You need little to no support, can jump, run, sleep on your stomach with no pain whatsoever. And they never get unwanted attention – the only problem is that they also don’t get wanted attention lol. But that’s one problem compared to the many problems big boobs can cause.

      The only thing I hate is that – as a pear shaped woman – I gain weight on my hips, thighs and stomach and this looks awkward with no boobs. So I have less leeway with weight changes, but that’s probably not that bad either as I’m a shopping lazy person and like to wear the same clothes for as many years as possible. In the same size.

  9. Maria says:

    LIES.

    Her entire career is contingent upon that rack because it’s the ONLY curves she has (there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever).

    I do get what she’s saying but pretending that she’d wear smaller bikini tops when she wears the wrong sizes repeatedly is funny.

    As for breasts woes:

    Mine are big and bra shopping will forever be the bane of my existence, don’t even get me started on cute dresses or the tops I have to forget exist because my tatas dictate a level of discretion that goes against my natural fashion inclinations ._.

  10. brionne says:

    I’m always amazed at how having 2 huge lumps on the front of your body (boobs) = awesome yet 2 huge lumps on the back k of your body (booty) = disgusting. Why are big breasts good but big asses are bad?

    • Lex says:

      It all depends on who you’re asking.

    • MonicaQ says:

      Asses are fine. Massively fake diaper asses, not so much.

    • HH says:

      I’m with MonicaQ here. I’m not sure if you’re particularly referring to this site, but the only butts that get negative attention are the Kardashians because they are fake and lie about it.

    • V4Real says:

      I think the only butt on this site that has been called disgusting is Kim K becasue of all that she has done to it. If you go back a few weeks ago you will see that we had nothing but praise for JLo’s but in those pink skinny jeans.

  11. Jude says:

    Perhaps people wouldn’t always bring them up if you didn’t wave them about in people’ faces. Every cent she has made has been because of them – she should think before she whinges about them.

  12. Sixer says:

    I only have one objection to (my) boobs: you have to go TO and IN shops to buy bras for them, else the bra won’t fit or you’re in pain every time you break into a jog because you don’t have any bras. You can’t just go to Google, type in your size and press “buy” on one of the first three items that show up. Since I am allergic to all things shop-related, this is not good. Otherwise, well, they’re just there, aren’t they, boobs? I don’t give them any thought.

    • GiGi says:

      Sixer – I’m not sure where you’re located, but try HerRoom.com – they have a brilliant system and it gives you your best size in each lingerie brand they carry, since there’s so much variance. It’s been a life saver for me, since my local shops don’t even carry my size 🙁

    • Sixer says:

      Checking international shipping right now. Anything that reduces physical retail experiences is a hit for me! Merci.

    • lunchcoma says:

      Figleaves has a UK site, and I’m pretty sure that Freya (my favorite maker of bras in DD+ sizes) is a British brand.

    • WickedSteppMom says:

      BareNecessities.com is also wonderful for those of us who cannot find our size in-store (or just want to avoid the store.) They also have many sales & send discount emails.

  13. HH says:

    Perkiness! I’m always jealous of the perkiness of smaller boobs. I have other issues, but I don’t feel like typing out on my phone.

    • Sarah says:

      Tell me about it! Not only do I have humongous boobs, but I can hold a hairbrush, rollers and other random things under both. Don’t ask why.

      They weren’t perky even when I was in high school 🙁

      • HH says:

        Same here! I’ve never had perky ones. I think it’s because they grew so fast and I didn’t keep up with the proper support. I’m sure if I didn’t have a wallet or purse, my boobs would come in as handy storage.

  14. Spikey says:

    I get her, I really do. When I was younger I longed for bigger boobs, but my olympic-level laziness helped me to overcome this. When I see my poor friends trying to find a decent bra in DD or E, not being able to buy tops, shirts and what not (because that sh*t won’t close over the girls and if it does it doesn’t fit in the shoulders or the waist) … the bouncing issue, the suffocating issue in yoga class 😉 I live a charmed life. My sympathy goes out to all girls who struggle with their girls.

    • cr says:

      My best friend was a 32A for years. I’ve ranged from a 32-C to a 36-D. We’ve joked that we’d get boob jobs at the same time, I’d donate my excess to her so she could get to a B, and I could get down to a B.
      Now that she’s a very active mom of two, and is just a little bit bigger at nearly a B, she’s fine with them. It’s much less hassle for her.
      While I still have to strap the girls down when I go out exercising.

  15. Tapioca says:

    It’s not size-related, but I once developed three spots on my right breast in a perfect triangle that looked like I was being targeted by the Predator.

    Too much time in a clammy sports bra…

  16. tifzlan says:

    21 with STILL growing boobs. I love it (sort of) but i can never keep bras for more than a year! Help?

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      My breasts size continued to grow into my thirties. Sorry! Good luck to you.

  17. Jude says:

    Sorry Bedhead, I’m no help on this topic – I’m a B cup no matter what size the rest of me is – the only difference is that sometimes the B cup is full and sometimes it’s less.

  18. sam says:

    I totally relate to wanting smaller breasts. And I had a reduction 10 years ago and they grew back so that isn’t always the answer. Although they are perkier due to the reduction. My biggest woe comes with bathing suits. I have to buy super expensive ones with underwire. I am now a 38G. The first thing I do in the morning is put a bra on.

    • HH says:

      They grew back and now you’re a 38G?! Wow. I’ve never heard of such a story. Was there anything that caused it like kids or gaining weight?

    • mayamae says:

      I sleep in a bra. Halle Berry swears this keeps her perky, and I’m willing to give it a try. My little cousin, sized in the extreme letters, does the same. My fear has always been being on the news as my house is burning down, with unfettered boobs.

    • Bedhead says:

      My college BFF had a reduction during freshman year. They grew back to their previous size before we graduated! It happens for sure.

  19. Khalesi says:

    Funny, I always thought Kate Upton’s boobs were an elective choice. As for me , I really sympathize with my friends who need to wear 2 sportsbras and a minimizer to keep their breasts from painfully flopping around during exercise. I’m a 34c and I can’t imagine carrying around anything bigger than that

    • Delorb says:

      My thoughts too. They just don’t look and act real. Its funny how, after seeing so many fake breasts that the average person can’t tell the difference. But hers have that fake symmetry thing going on, that’s usually a tell-tale sign. I’m above average (DD) and there is no way I could keep these puppies in a bikini, while walking a runway. Hell, I couldn’t keep them in check if I went from a prone to sitting position.

      • mayamae says:

        You touched on a subject that really ticks me off. I’ve been stuck with these big boobs, and that used to be considered a “good” thing. But now, everyone has huge fake boobs and no one (especially men) seem to know what natural breasts look like. So now I’m stuck with these boobs, and now matter how perky I may be, I look like I’m sagging compared to the millions of women with their implants underneath their collar bones.

  20. Lflips says:

    Anyone else surprised she says her bra is a 34D? That isn’t that big…

    • GeeMoney says:

      Anything over a C cup is big. Trust me…

    • Lex says:

      That’s obviously untrue! People have warped the ideas of what bra sizes actually are… Like a DD is the huuuugest ever. She is easily a full F cup

    • Delta Juliet says:

      I can’t believe that is true. I’m a DDD and I am not as big as her.

    • Renee28 says:

      Her boobs look awfully big to be a 34D. That’s my size and my chest looks nowhere near as large as hers.

    • lunchcoma says:

      There’s no way that’s her actual size. The fashion world is pretty set on the idea that D or at most DD is where cup sizes end, and people would probably be freaked out if they heard what her actual size was.

    • Alexis says:

      I’m also a 34D. As for frame talk, I’m tallish (5’7″) and relatively thin (size 2/4) with a small frame. I honestly think Upton is a similar kind of size as I am, except I have more of an hourglass shape. (Btw I like that Upton is not an hourglass…women come in all shapes. We only usually see people who are skinny and straight up and down, hourglasses, and the occasional pear (Beyoncé, JLo). Rarely do we see an apple.) Anyway, my boobs are pretty prominent, but I wouldn’t call them huge. They don’t appear anywhere close to Upton’s in size, that’s for sure! No wonder so many people wear the wrong bra sizes. The media is trying to pass off this chick, who clearly wears at least an F cup, as a D? Not even a double D? C’mon.

    • Hally says:

      Just came to say that! No way she’s only a 34d! And after her comment, i guess she wishes she was that small. I’m about her size (although unfortunately quite a few inches shorter than her so I look absolutely ridiculous) and I’m a 34G, which is 34DDDD. I would love it if I was a 34D, lol! Honestly the cup size I think is ideal is a C-cup, you still get fullness that you can easily play up or play down and can even go braless or wear normal swimsuits! #foreverjealous

  21. Damaris says:

    It’d be so much easier, especially if people didn’t constantly bring them up? Dear, it is you who brings your boobs up. Show them off, if you’d like, but don’t complain about it being a topic of conversation when the focus of your modeling career is surrounded by your breasts.

  22. Hautie says:

    I feel Upton’s pain. When you are the owner of dd’s… you get to harp about them, freely. 🙂

    And lets be real. Anyone interviewing her is not there to talk about anything else.

    I find it so off putting that now with the media. They get right in the face of the person they are interviewing… and can make the most unbelievable comments about your big tits. Or big ass. And the female has to take it. I find that Kate has been pretty even temper knowing that she is only there because of her body. I have not really read any interview with her… that ever ask much of anything else.

    I can understand the want to have smaller boobs. I love to wear some of the super cute cotton tops with tiny straps. But there is something off putting to those sweet cotton tops… when you have to wear that super duty sports bra, to keep the girls from escaping!

    Now tossing out that Upton can just get a reduction… have you ever seen what happens to your boobs in a reduction surgery? Holy crap. Not for all the money in Texas, would I ever have one done over a set of dd’s.

    If I had a set of triple h’s…. where there is simply so much pain involved with shoulders and back from the weight. Maybe. But getting a reduction is not some simple procedure. And the recovery is brutal.

  23. Lilacflowers says:

    If your breasts are healthy and they aren’t so large that they are causing back problems, be content. I never knew what I had until I found a lump. Life and looks were forever changed but I’m glad to still be here.

    • Frida_K says:

      So glad you are here, too. Thank you for sharing your wise words.

      I wish you continued good health.

      ~~namaste~~

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Thanks, Frida _ K. Know your body, check it regularly, know when it changes, and see your doctor immediately if it does. My cancer spread three times during the two weeks between initial mammogram of the lump and surgery.

    • Liberty says:

      Wishing you good health also. ((((hugs))))

  24. Godwina says:

    I sympathize with KU. Not from experience–have lived with a B cup all my life, but since I’m petite, they are perfect. No one would ever say I have a “rack” but my boobs are one of the few parts of my body I wouldn’t change for anything and have zero hang-ups about. But I have many girlfriends with much larger boobs and I hear/witness their woes, and I thank the skies for dodging that bullet. If I’d been “racked” genetically, they’d have been reduced years ago for the sake of my back and shoulders *and* vanity (some of my friends have had reductions and they are T H R I L L E D with that decision). They’d look ridic on me. Perfectly proportioned tits are the tits!!! And I know not too many women are 100% satisfied with theirs, so I feel a bit jackpot-ty there.

    Considering the preeminence the world accords to our chests, I say let those women complain. I get it.

    • Alright then says:

      I got 99 problems, but titties ain’t one…..

      I’m the same. I’m very small petite and am a 34b. The only problem I have is I can’t really wear totally strapless things. I don’t have much meat above the nipple so things like strapless prom dresses would just slither right off. And if that’s my only complaint, I can’t really complain. Now, if I could gain a couple
      inches in height……

      • SnarkySnarkers says:

        Uh, this! Im 110 lbs with small 34B’s . I never used to mind having smaller boobs but I know my husband likes them bigger. He’s never said that to me but I’ve seen the pron he used to look at and it was basically big boob fetish. So now Im insecure about them even though he tells me he loves me the way I am ect. My moms shrank significantly after breastfeeding so I plan on getting mine done if the same happens to me after I have kids.

      • We Are All Made of Stars says:

        People watch all kinds of crazy things on the internet. They do it out of curiosity, a passing enjoyment, or because they enjoy a fetish in that context but don’t seek out anything of the sort in real life. If the man says he likes you the way you are, believe him.

      • Godwina says:

        True about certain strapless/strappy things, but IME I find a good padded bra or even a decent underwire does the trick, for those rare times I want cleavage. It’s nice to have the choice, for sure. 🙂

  25. Jayna says:

    Well, to give her credit, she said she thinks about it about twice a day, not all day long. Probably when she’s trying on a top she loves but just not suited for big boobs or trying to do something like running, or her back hurts, etc.,

  26. huh says:

    They look like udders

  27. Braebre says:

    I am a 38 JJ. Enough said. I am saving money now for a reduction.

    • sienna says:

      Would your health insurance cover it, if you had it for relief of back problems? Here in Canada we can have it done free for medical reasons, although it isn’t quite as pretty as paying out of pocket and getting a high-end plastic surgeon who can guarantee no scars.

  28. GeeMoney says:

    “I wish I had smaller boobs every day of my life…”

    ME TOO, GIRL! Having big breasts is rough. Nothing ever fits properly, they are always in the way, and men have long conversations with them. Rrrr…

  29. Tania says:

    My best friend had a reduction from 32 G to C. She cites it as one of her greatest decisions. It all boils down to body type.

  30. Mandy says:

    My boobs came in at 14 and they were enormous! I was always extremely self conscious about them. I always hated them. I had a reduction when I was 32 and it was the best thing I ever did. I had a great surgeon and you can barely see any scars. Don’t miss them at all!

  31. poppy says:

    used to always be a small B. always appreciated it. could wear cute bras or go without. never had a problem with shirts fitting. no problems exercising. no sweat collecting. no sagging. then started to gain weight and thought, wow, bigger boobs, how fun.
    NOT FUN.
    i’m hoping when the weight goes down, the bewbs will diminish. i hate to complain about being a D but it is AWFUL. after 2 years of painful bras i finally figured out wider straps were a godsend.
    i 100% recommend wacoal. they are the only bras i can afford that recognize a small rib cage/large cup.

    as for her comments. 🙄 isn’t this the girl that was “discovered” giggling at some sports event?

    • retromancer says:

      I was always a bit chubby as a teenager and had B cups; I gained a bit more weight at university (oh, fresher’s 15…) and they went up to C cups. I’ve since lost the weight gain (and then some), and they’ve shrunk back down to 32A or 32AAs depending on store/brand. Admittedly, it’s smaller than I’d like most of the time, but hey. C’est la vie! Weight loss (or rather: fat loss, specifically) tends to = smaller boobs, so assuming your weight loss is primarily fat loss (rather than muscle loss), your boobs should go back down!

  32. HotPockets says:

    I can relate to what she is saying. I am naturally a 32F and a size one in pants and there is nothing that fits both my boobs and my body. I have spent so much money in alterations just so things fit right. The worst is finding a bathing suit to hold it all in, it doesn’t seem like I can find a good one, any recommendations ladies?

    I could never imagine just wearing a spaghetti strap or alter top, my boobs make everything look slutty and budget. At the end of the day, I identity with my large bust and I feel like I would be a different person if I ever had a reduction, I’m sure she gets that, her career would be largely deflated.

    • MP says:

      Have you ever tried Lands End swimsuits? I’m a D/DD depending on the line and a size 2/4 and I’ve had good luck with Lands End tankinis and one piece swimsuits. No luck with a bikini top, although I’ve tried a lot of them on.

      I have a really old bikini top from Anne Cole and it fits well and is modest, but I don’t know if she’s still in business making the same style. The modesty always seems to be an issue for me. I don’t want a sports bikini top, but I want something that covers me so I don’t have to worry if I’ll fall out when the next wave hits. I like to be able to be active, but still look cute. Sometimes I think I should be a swimsuit designer.

      Oh another line that I like…La Blanca. More expensive than Lands End and I bought mine at Nordstrom. I really liked that line. I think I only have a tankini.

  33. MonicaQ says:

    40F. I’ve had my football pads altered, I play in layers because it’s necessary and in Florida with our team being dark blue, it’s hell on earth. I feel her on wishing my boobs were smaller but my boobs don’t write my paycheck.

  34. Carrie says:

    I wear a 34DDD, am 5’2″ and have been at least a c cup since 7th grade. I have wanted reductions for years. I recently lost a lot of weight due to stress, and I noticed that I lost a lot of it in my chest, which resulted in a large dent in the underside of each when I stand at a certain angle, which ofc scared the s**t out of me since dents usually = cancer. Nurse friend of mine said she bets its from the sudden weight loss since I have it on both sides but I’m still keeping a close eye on it.

  35. Delta Juliet says:

    I was a 34B most of my adult life. 5’3 and about 125 pounds. In the last couple of years I hit 145 pounds and boobs are up to a 34DDD. I have since then lost 11 pounds and am back to around a 34DD.

    Anyway, I miss the old 34B’s. I always wanted bigger boobs until I had them. They make it difficult to work out comfortably and like others have said, they just make you all around LOOK BIGGER, even if the rest of your body isn’t huge (unless you are like Miss Kate and roll around in a bikini all the time)

  36. Vanderhootchie says:

    What sort of story IS this? She has implants. This is almost as insane as Kerry Perry saying “the rack is real”. They’re all liars. Including Christina Hendricks. If Kate Upton wants small boobs then all she has to do is have her implants removed. *shaking head* There are many, many pictures on the internet where it’s obvious. Just like Kim K’s butt…

    • GiGi says:

      If you’ve ever seen that weird “Cat Daddy” video = they’re real. Like, 100% real. Even amazing fake boobs don’t move like this girl’s move.

    • Dani2 says:

      Everytime I see you comment on this site, it’s about someone’s boobs lol 😂
      You need to expand your interests and hobbies.

  37. nk868 says:

    i want that outfit with the gray sweater and olive pants! wahhh

  38. Erm says:

    I’m surprised she’s only a D cup! I’m an E and mine seem a lot smaller than hers. Having said that, I wish mine were smaller, maybe a B, just so I could wear beautiful high necklines and boxier clothing. I’d also love to be able to go braless occasionally or do sports without so much damn bouncing.

  39. JoAnn says:

    My boobs are about her size but lower. Curse you gravity! I’ve grown used to them though. It is tough to find cute clothes so I agree with her there.

  40. Wren33 says:

    My troubles – I have really widely-spaced boobs and I absolutely cannot wear underwire bras because of this. The wire cups normally end about halfway through my boob. I never have cleavage, although I have great side-boob if I ever chose to wear a red carpet dress. My other problem is nursing. My normal cup size is the large side of A. Nursing actually gives me boobs, but between kids they were just sad flaps, whereas they used to be perky. I am sad that when I stop nursing this one my boobs are going to be deflated.

  41. Rice says:

    I was a 36C then I lost weight (25-30lbs) and went to a 32B (or small A, not sure). I loved my C cup but I loved losing the weight even more. Now I have more energy. Having said that, there is the eternal problem of some smaller-chested women wanting bigger boobs (hence the upswing in breast implant surgeries) and some larger-chested women wanting smaller boobs.

  42. Kaboom says:

    Genie retroactively grants her wish, nobody remembers who Kate Upton is.

  43. raindrop says:

    I was astonished to discover that I’m a D cup – I’d always been a B or C. But then a very nice lingerie shop employee suggested that I try on the D’s, and explained that cup size isn’t consistent; it’s directly related to band size. I’m sure most of you know this, but I didn’t. So instead of the 36B or C I’d always assumed I was, I’m really a 34D. They fit beautifully and don’t pinch or gap like my small-cup bras had for years.

    They really don’t “look like” D cups, especially since I began kickboxing and weight training. As my pectorals grew stronger they made my breasts sit higher and perkier, and look smaller. So weird. Not bad, just weird.

    • poorimmigrant says:

      I don’t think that most women know about this, bra fitting in most countries is a mess, and in US it’s a disaster. hello Victoria’s Bullshit, I’m looking at you and your stupid bra fitting methods.

  44. lunchcoma says:

    As an F cup wearer (and my guess would be that Kate’s real bra size is somewhere in the E or the F range, and that she pretends to have D cups because fashion likes to pretend that bras and breasts don’t come any larger), I can sympathize and I don’t think it’s as simple as “just get a reduction.” That’s the right choice for a lot of women, but it’s a pretty major surgery. I wouldn’t tell a woman who was unhappy with her A cups to just get implants – I think there’s room to be dissatisfied with your body without being so unhappy that it justifies cosmetic surgery.

  45. cro-girl says:

    Do you ever think stories are made up about celebrities and they just sign off on them for whatever reason? First off, she’s not a 34D. I’m a 34DD/32E and her’s are a lot bigger. Anyone with boobs that size does not buy into the conventional understanding of bra sizes because they dont work with us. Second, she would never say she wishes they were smaller. Her great boobage is her trademark and she rocks it and theres not shame in that. I dont ever picture this girl saying anything as dumb as that.

  46. June says:

    32GG checking in here! I HATE my boobs. Everyday they cause discomfort, and often they cause pain in my shoulders, back, and neck, and give me headaches. I’m currently losing weight, and if I hit my goal weight and they still make me uncomfortable, I may end up getting a reduction.

    I’ll be so happy when the 15 minutes her Dad bought her are over and there’s real models on the covers instead of her flabby self.

    All my daughters have at least an E or F cup, except for the youngest. But the only reason she has a C cup is because of her breast reduction. She had been a DD or larger from 5th grade on. It also affected her shoulders (they were very lose to the point the PT could pull them out of socket) and she had to have the shoulders tightened up. Unfortunately many insurances consider breast reduction as cosmetic surgery – even if you can prove there are problems because of the large chest. When she had hers they had to remove a certain weight of breast tissue in order for the insurance to pay for the procedure. We had to move up her surgery (thank goodness the surgeon’s office called us and let us know in time) in order for it to be covered. I feel for all of you. I am fortunate to have always had a large A small B (except now when I because I am overweight) and didn’t ever regret my size.

    Hey Bedhead, I feel you girl! (Though I’ve never been as small as a B.) I’ve shared on my story on some of Kaiser’s posts in the past but since we’re on the subject again, here goes: All through high school I was anywhere between a 34 C and that magic number 36 C 😊 (And I was also a size 5 and actually thought I was “fat” and very much needed to lose weight but that’s a totally different story. Oh to be a $@#% size 5 again!)

    Once I hit my early 20’s all of my aunts warned me that I was going to “inherit” the family boobs-they’re all HUGE, like H cups-by the time I hit 24 which I was in major denial about. Well, wouldn’t you know that I practically woke up on my 23 birthday with brand new D-cups! Ugh. I started out as a 36 D but now that I’m in my early 30’s they’ve reached a 38 D which is about as large as I’m willing to get as far as I’m concerned! They’re IMPOSSIBLE to dress, I can’t wear even remotely low cut blouses or dresses for fear of inpropriety or spillage (even the highest quality, perfectly fitted bras can only do so much) and every button up shirt I buy from flannels to work tops must be purchased a couple sizes too big and tailored to death. I’m grateful for my health and that the good Lord blessed me with curves but what I’m carrying around currently is just too much.

    I’m hoping if I can keep up with my new workout regimen that I’ll be able to drop a little bit up top. We’ll see…

    My boobs started out a 34 B/C but over the years they have gone up (pregnancy was 36 E) and then down again to a 36 C/D. I prefer my current size honestly. I also lose a cup size when I lose weight so I prefer not to be what I consider too skinny. It’s all a matter of personal taste.

  51. marie says:

    Before I had my kids… A cup. They grew with each baby and never went down. I now sport a 34DDD. I asked my husband too look into a reduction for me. His answer “would you throw your lottery winnings in the trash?” Now I know exactly why we have 4 kids and another due in 4 weeks. After this hes getting snipped. We cant afford bras and college at this point.

    One of my friends has a big chest and she also says sometimes she wishes she had smaller chest. Besides being constantly stared at her back hurts and she can’t wear a lot of designs she wishes she could.

  53. I Choose Me says:

    I’m five foot one with 42DDs. Yeah I’d much prefer they were a B cup. I know I could get them reduced but I’m just really terrified about having to go under a surgeon’s knife to get them done. Then again, I don’t want to go under the surgeon’s knife for anything, period.

  54. Leek says:

    I have a B cup. It’s cute. I’m happy with it and if they went to an A I’d be happy again. I like to be thin and the bigger my boobs look, the bigger I look. If I went up to a C I’d have to buy all new tops and I’d be miserable. I had them after my baby and when I clapped at a comedy show my boobs got in the way. I strongly disliked that.

    Girlfriend has every right to bitch about her big boobs. Maybe if she wasn’t famous for them she’d be successful for something else. I’m not going to begrudge any woman for having a complaint about the way she looks or feels.

  55. amanda says:

    I don’t get why she is famous. Ok, she has boobs, but she looks pretty plain otherwise.

    Sounds like a pure Humble Brag to me.

    While I completely understand why large breasts are a source of contention for many reasons (back pain, limited clothing choices, etc) I’m taking a little issue with this gripe. Sure, she may be breaking into more acting roles, but had she not had those breasts I’m quite sure she would not have generated the interest that she did. Typically, women (myself included) take issue with size because they are a hinderence of some kind – to our health, closet, integrity, self esteem, whatever. In this case, they have made her a household name, put her in a position of great wealth and opportunity. I’m sure there are many people out there that would make peace with an undesired feature if it allowed them to achieve a dream (which, by her participation in the industry I’m assuming is her dream). Seems a little “biting the hand that feeds you”. And yes, if she doesn’t like them she’s in a position to do something about it – but then again, who remembers Jennifer grey after her nose job?

    No way they’re 34D. I would estimate a 30H or 32GG.

    Kate’s BBs look huge to me.
    I think she is bigger than a 34D,probably a 34F.
    Anyway am small-chested,what do I know about cup sizes other than B or A. Also am of a completely different body type- pear shape.
    Am 5″7 and wear 30B-small B.
    Heaven knows I love the size of my breast.It makes me look even slimmer and I can wear absolutely anything without looking suggestive or provocative.
    Double standard right?
    Oh yeah,but that’s the fact.
    But my chest are the first place I lose weight from whenever I fluctuate. It’s a real big bummer for me cos that’s the last place I never wanna lose weight from.
    What can I say,it’s the curse of being pear-shaped.

  60. Lis says:

    I think she’s beautiful. Personally I’m not a fan of huge boobs because they make you look bigger overall. I have a smaller bust and love not having to wear a miserable bra all the time, but on the other hand I considered implants when I was younger because there is some link with having big breasts and feeling like a ‘complete’ woman. Kate is fine as she is. Nobody is perfect – I like it that way. 😀

  61. Lili says:

    So why doesn’t she go through surgery? You can get your boobs reduced with the help of a plastic surgeon. It’s more risky than enlarging your boobs but it’s still something which is possible, and if Kate Upton really thinks her boobs are s a problem, she should do it. Why spend your life disliking a part of yourself which won’t go away just like that?

    I know a few girls, though, who always complain about how annoyingly LARGE their boobs are (34B isn’t what I’d call large, but I guess everyone’s entitled to their own opinion…) yet they flash them as soon as they get the chance. I guess for them the “poor poor me, my boobs are too big” whining is a nice way of drawing attention to something they’re actually quite proud of. Maybe it’s similar with Kate Upton. Sure, her rack’s bigger than the size of my friends, but if it really were a problem, wouldn’t she consider surgery?

    Either accept the size of your rack and stop whining, or do something about it. That’s my take on things!

  62. RedSoxGirl says:

    I totally get it. I’m 4’11” with 36DDD natural (thanks to genetics and my love of perogies and sour cream) bust. Yes, you read that right – TRIPLE D. Boyfriends of course love it, but as we all know, the bigger they are, the harder the fall. Not to mention I wear an underwire bra anytime I’m awake and sleep in a sports bra every night – to sleep without a bra is too painful. And, thanks to the underwire, I now have scaring under my breasts because of the weight that’s placed on the underwire (my friend dared me to weigh it once, they’re 8lbs a piece!) . I also had a couple of surgeries on my left breast due to (thankfully) malignant breast lumps, so now, thanks to scar tissue, my left one is even bigger then the right – good luck getting bras to fit normally. If I could afford the reduction I would definitely consider it – a nice C cup would be ideal. That being said, I would lob the buggers off in an absolute second if I get cancer though – who needs that crap!
