HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | BOOBS

Are my boobs shrinking?!

 
I’ve noticed lately that some of my bras aren’t fitting the way they used to. Can my boobs get smaller?

 

The bulk of your breasts is composed of fat cells, so yes, babe, your boobs certainly can get smaller. While there’s no guarantee that dropping weight (or putting weight on) will decrease or increase the size of your breasts, it’s possible that weight loss can make your boobs shrink.

 

It’s also possible that your bras are stretching out. Wash them regularly on a gentle cycle, and hang them or lay them flat to dry. Since bras see a lot of wear ‘n’ tear, they need to be replaced more frequently than panties or other garments. It might be time to head to the store!

Hey Abbydabbers, if you're not completely ready then I wouldn't wear one if I were you. But if your mom insists on you getting one, then it may be time to put one on. No worries girl. They are comfy and you can find some cute stylish ones. Hope this helps! Xoxo

I'm 11 years old and I don't wear bras but my mom keeps checking to see if I wear any I put on a coat so she can't see should I start wearing bras? Lynae P.

My mom gets REALLY frustrated when shopping, so I needed a few new bras so we went to the girls department but they only had A's and one sorta fit me but I wanted to try on a B, so we had to go to the lingerie department and i tried one on but by that time she was really crabby. The B fit me on my left side but was too small on my right side, and she got so frustrated so I just had to leave with the A's that don't really fit. And don't say order a special size or whatever because my mom buys the cheapest of everything possible and she doesn't like to order online, plus she isn't very supportive about anything. Help!

 

Hey girl!  Ordering a special sized bra isn't necessary- but you might have to deal with bras that don't fit both sides.  Some stores make half sized bras, but they still won't fit if your breasts are uneven.  Maybe this could work- go online and look for a website with fairly inexpensive bras and a good return policy (make sure shipping isn't too much either).  Order a few bras around the size you were trying on in the store that fit.  You can try the bras on in the comfort of your own house and your mom won't have to take you shopping.  You can return all the bras that don't fit and you'll know what size you are next time you go shopping.  xoxo

I'm 11 and I thought I was a size 32 aa but I went online to a bra size calculator and it said I was a 30b!!! My info: band=24 bust=27. Can you tell me what size I REALLY am?
Also for my size, can you tell me a good store to buy bras from that I don't have to order online? I can't afford $30 or more bras from Victorias secret. Thanks SO MUCH!




Hey girl, to figure out your bra size, the best thing to do is go try some on. Every brand fits differently, so that's probably why the online calculator was different than you expected. See if there's a L'eggs, Bali, Playtex, and/or Hanes outlet near you. You can also check Walmart - sometimes they have some good bras that are cheaper.

Awkward talk about boobs.

Has this ever happened to anyone before? Where your mom talked about boobs in front of your bf. My mom did that to me recently and I just felt weird about it because I am on the flat side, Im growing and they are bigger than they used to be, but I just didnt like the conversation.

I know this is akward, but my breasts have been growing for a little more than two years, and they are only size A. My mom and her mom (maternal grandmother) wear size C. However, my Dad's mom (paternal grandmother) literally has no breasts, she doesn't even have to wear a bra... is there a chance that my breasts are as large as they will get? Can I inherit this kind of thing from my dad's side or is it only possible from my mom's side?




Hey chicky, girls' breasts can grow til they're in their early 20s, so there's still plenty of time for ya. But if you end up being an A, don't worry - there are good and bad things about every cup size. And just like everything else in your DNA, you get some genes from both sides of the fam. It's a toss up which side will be stronger.

I am going to the pool on Monday and I have never been embarrassed of wearing a bikini but the 2 guys that I like are ganna go too !!!

Help me get Notest I no how to swim and have some curves my Friendz say I REALLY skinny I think so to but not that much!


Hey girl,

If you want to hang out with guys at the pool party, then you have to relax about your body! I'm sure everyone else is as concerned as you are, but just relax and have fun, and don't worry about what you look like! If you suggest a fun game or beat the boys in a swimming race, they'll definitely notice you, and for good reasons!

I need advice. My boobs, butt and inner theighs have stretch marks. And i am never able to wear my fav shorts cause they show. Will they ever go away? Will they come back?

Hey girl,

Everyone has stretch marks, and they're probably not as noticeable as you think! There are different creams and lotions that you can use to make them less noticeable! Ask for help at the beauty store to see what works for you, or if you're still concerned you can talk to a dermatologist, too!

I'm 13 and I have the smallest boobs imaginable. They haven't grown in a year at least. I don't even fit into an a cup. What if they don't grow?! I have had my period for a year. Will they ever grow and I don't know what size bra to get cuz an a is too big. It's kinda embarrassing cuz most my friends have b or c. And I'm like uber tall!




Hey girlie,

Check out this article - you're not alone wishing you had bigger boobs! But the truth is that your bod will grow when it's ready...or not. Whatever your bod does during puberty, that's how you're meant to be. Embrace the bod you got and remember all the fab things about small boobs! Plus, there are ways of tricking the eye and making your boobs look bigger with pattern, color, and neckline. The most important thing is confidence though, no matter what stage of puberty you're at. People won't care about itty bitty boobs if your smile, posture, and overall confidence is strong! Smile

Hey girl, 

I know you've probably heard this before, but everyone's body develops at its own pace. There's no way to know for sure if your boobs are done growing, but they also might continue to change size or shape. Your body is going to keep growing and changing, so be proud of your curves and embrace what makes you unique! xoxox

You can comment on any article on the site, as well as user-created clubs and Advice Queen groups. You won't see your comment right away though - us mods (short for "moderator") have to approve every comment to be sure there isn't any personal info, offensive language, or vulgar topics being discussed. We work almost every hour of the day to do this, so be patient and you'll see your comments very soon! We're also here to answer advice questions, which is why you'll see "MOD MOD MOD" at the beginning of comments a lot. If you do that, it'll get our attention!

ok so i do sorta have a flat chest, flat enough that the guy i like messes with me about it (he only makes fun of me cuz he knows i like him). but i still have a larger boobs than my mom. does this mean that i will prob. stay the same since my mom is very flat chested or could i be diff. to a greater extent???? please and Ty!!!




Hey girlie,

You can't compare your chest size to anyone else's, including your mom's! It's possible that your size could be similar to hers but the truth is that your bod is unique to YOU alone. You could be totally done growing, but most girls grow at least a little bit until their late teens! So embrace the bod you've got right now, but remember that it could change in the future. There's no guarantee - that's why you gotta love what ya got, no matter what! <3

ok. so i dont think my boobs are growing very much.. i am a size 36 A (weird size i know). i have been since i was 10. i am now twelve. i dont have my period yet but i have everything else. will they get bigger or what? help lol




Not a weird size at all! It's hard to predict whether or not they'll get bigger because everyone is different and it depends on your unique bod, but you're only 12 - and most girls don't totally stop growing until their late teens. So don't get discouraged yet - but in the meantime, love the bod you've got, girl!

Moderators!
Thanks Lauren C. Smile
Also ...
Some people think I'm an aggressive tomboy. I just want to be a tomboy with flair. I try to change, but too many people upset me & I blow up on them. I tried meditation, diaries & we don't have guidance couselors (my school is catholic ... in the city ...) and I don't know what to do! Please help me!




Hey girlie,

Being aggressive, determined, or even a lil rough around the edges is totally fine. Those are your personality quirks - and that's not something to change! But if you borderline on angry or act out physically/by yelling when you get upset, that's something you can definitely work on. Next time you get worked up, take a deep breath. Close your eyes and think of something calm, like a river or the beach. Then open your eyes and assess the situation. What are you really upset about? Ask yourself straight out: are you over-reacting? Is this really going to matter in an hour or tomorrow? Is it easier and does it require less negative energy to just walk away? (Hint: the answer to that last question is almost always yes.) You need to talk yourself down from feeling aggressive and angry. It's not always easy, but it'll get easier with time. Don't let yourself say things out of impulse - be thoughtful and think about what you say before you say it!

My sister is 11 and she already got her period, and wears a size 34B. I'm 14 in a month, and I haven't gotten my period, and my boobs have been the same size since I was about 11. 32 A. I'm not so worried about my period because I know that will come, but I'm worried my boobs might not grow any bigger. They've been the same size for so long! Do you think they will ? thanks Smile




Hey babe,

It's hard to say! You can't base it off your sister though, that's for sure. Your bod is totally unique and it'll mature at a different pace than everyone else's. Lots of girls notice a change in their boobs after their period starts, or when they reach their later teens, and even in their 20's. It's possible they'll grow - but it's also important that you love 'em whatever size they are Smile

1) The bras for the picture above are cute; do you know where they sell them at? If so, in what sizes? Do they have underwire & supportive pads?
2) I want to go up a cup, but my mom is really positive I'm a B. The bra doesn't even stay flat on my chest! I've measure & I know I'm right. Any tips?
3) One time, around June, I was sitting on the toliet just urinating. Then, when I stood up, some blood came out of my vagina onto the white tile floor. I told my mom but she said if I really have it she needs more proof. DO you think this is a real period. It's the only time that happened. I have all the period symptoms (except spotting) and I currently (as of today) 4'9 & ... lbs & I'm 12. DO you think it could be comming.
4) Withthe info above, do you think I'm overweigh? Is it an average weightfor my age?
5) I just recently seen the U by Kotex Tweens combo pack.
a) Do you know if they are good?
b) DO they make tween tampons?
Sorry is this is too long!




Hey girlie,

1. I'm not sure exactly where these are from, but try VS Pink and Aerie. They have similar bra styles and super cute prints/colors for us younger girls!

2. Try going with mom to a department store or lingerie-specific store, like Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, or Victoria's Secret. Have a professional measure you! That way, there's no arguing exactly what your size is. (And also, the size shouldn't matter - grab a couple options and always always try on the bra before you buy!)

3. Your period could definitely be on the way! That type of blood that you experienced before sounds more like a cut/irritated spot that started to bleed though, since it seemed to catch you off guard and came without much warning/light spotting beforehand. But since you're 12 and going through puberty now, it's just a matter of time til your period arrives!

4. I'm really not qualified to tell you whether you're overweight, average, underweight, whatever! The most important thing is that you eat healthy and get active every day. If you're concerned, ask your doc at your next check up!

5. A few of my friends use U by Kotex and they love them! They're packaged in super cool designs and colors too, I love that it makes periods fun. They don't make tween tampons yet (that I know of), but the only difference would probably be in packaging. If you made a tampon any smaller for a younger girl, it wouldn't work as well! Smile

I measured myself according to this book (1 in past your strap size= A, 2=B 3=C 4=D ect) and I found out i'm a 32 C. I think my bras must've stretched out in the washing machine bc now they're too big! How often should you buy new bras? Should I buy one the same size or smaller so it won't stretch as much?




Hey girl! 

Bra experts say you should buy a bra every 3 to 6 months, since certain things (such as if you've gained or lost weight) can change the way your bras fit. Try on some bras in a 32C next time you go to the store to see how they fit you - make sure it looks and feels right before you buy anything! Good luck! xoxox

So the past couple of days I have had itchy, dry, red spots on my scalp that itch really bad. I scratched one spot so much that it bled. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening. I don't have, and have never had dandruff. I haven't changed my hair routine in the last week either, so I know it isn't a new product.




Hey babe! 

Have you showed one of your parents yet?  I'm not sure what this could be either! Mom, Dad, or a doctor would be great people to talk to about this. Try not to itch those red spots! xoxox
