HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | BOOBS

Why do I have boobs in the first place?

 

 

Breasts are 100-percent biological. Every primate—males and females—grows breasts, which contain milk-secreting mammary glands. In males, the mammary glands and breasts remain undeveloped and “flat” because of the lack of necessary hormones to make them grow. During puberty, however, estrogen and other hormones promotes the growth of breast buds in females. And there you have it—that’s why your boobs grow.

 

As to the purpose, we know the mammary gland provides milk for infants, but psychologists, biologists and evolutionary scientists have provided a number of theories for why women grow such prominent breasts. Some think the size and shape of the human breast helps babies nurse, while others put it down to sexual attraction.

 

Does that answer your question, babe?

I come from kinda a chubby family, but I have gained like over 20 pounds in a year, and my thighs and stomach are all enormous but my breasts are kinda small. Is there any way to make them all be nice and proportional? And is gaining over 20 pounds in a year bad?

 

hey! don't think about dropping pounds to meet a deadline. instead focus on having a healthy lifestyle year round with moderate exercise and a balanced diet. You may not drop weight in two weeks, but that's the way to maintain the right weight for your body. at girl's life we promote the idea that a healthy you is the most beautiful you there is. That being said I'm gonna direct you to our fitness page for all our info on healthy living Smile http://www.girlslife.com/category/health-and-fitness.aspx

I'm twelve 5 foot 5 and I have a pretty large chest (34C). I'm really self-conscience is there anyway I could make my boobs look smaller?

 

Hey girlie! 34C is exactly what I wear, and it's a pretty average size once the rest of your friends start to develop... you'll see! If yours are just earlier than everyone else's I encourage you to wear softly lined bras, avoid push-up and padding! Most bra stores offer fittings and will work with you personally to discover which bra best suits your body and needs so don't be shy to ask them for help!

Im only 8 years old and i have a huge boob problem! im not expeiriencing anything to due with puberty at all! i have gotten a few zits and thats it! i dont know what im suppose to do i have a huge cup size and im really scared. im even to scared to ask an older relitive like my mom or sister! i just dont feel comfortable talking about that stuff to my grandma or mother. they make a big deal out of everything. i dont feel right getting a diary because i would feel like a dork telling my feelings to a book. i just dont feel right. i read the book head to toe guide to you about puberty and it didnt help me that much. i think im a early bloomer for the chest growing.

Hey girl,

Everyone develops differently, so it is perfectly normal for you to develop breasts before your peers! You'll get the other stages when you're ready, so be happy that you don't have acne! You are perfectly normal, and there is nothing scary or weird about your chest size Smile

Hey i have been wearing bras for about a year but im a little confused about the size order... what is the smallest to the biggest? Thanks in advance Sophia




Hey Chica,

The good thing about bras is that they go in alphabetical order, so A is the smallest and D is the largest (they do go bigger than that, but A-D is basic), and that measures your cup size. The other measurement, the number, is how wide your chest is, so 30 is usually the smallest, and they go up in increments of two (32, 34, 36, etc). Check out how to find your perfect bra!

MOD MOD MOD! I"m lactose intolerant i think for sure, but here's the question. One day, i was fine and able to drink milk in the morning but that same exact night, my stomach hurt really bad after my milk. So am i Lactose intolerant? If i am how did it happen so quickly? P.S. My parents can't afford to take me to the doctors so that's not an option.




If it only happened once you probably arnt lactose intolerant. Something else could have hurt your stomach. xoxo kerra
