I’ve never really been ‘blessed with a chest.’ I mean sure, I’ve got boobs and they’re not exactly small, but they never quite make it into cleavage territory. They just sort of sit near each other, never touching, on opposite sides of my body.
I don’t even know why they’re like this. I’m fat, by rights I should have a killer cleavage.
In fact, a great cleavage is the universal fat girl pardon. You have permission to be fat if someone can qualify it with, ‘yeah but your boobs look ace.’ I just get complimented on my hair.
Of course my hair looks good, it’s the only thing I can grow on purpose!
My thighs increase year upon year without me even trying (like some sort of body fat ISA with a great interest rate). Despite my heavier weight, my cleavage is still unimpressive.
I know there’s other women out there like me, so this post is for you (and maybe for me? Email me some good bra suggestions).
Maybe I’ve always had bad fitting bras. I haven’t been measured properly in years because I was dubious of a weird result I once got. Even with a Wonderbra I can only achieve passable cleavage with a bit of adjustment. I then had squeeze myself into some too-small clothing to add a little extra oomph. But now I’m fat, tight clothes just make me look like, well, someone who got fat.
Another thing putting me off getting measured is the possibility finding out I’m not a double D as I’ve been wearing but something ridiculous. Imagine being diagnosed as a 60AAA. I say diagnosed, because what a blow that would be; ‘Sorry Mrs M, it turns our you just have a really fat back. That’s why you don’t have a cleavage, you’ve just been pulling all your back fat to the front for the last decade.’
So for everyone out there whose boobs repel one another like two magnets with their north poles facing one another: I feel your cleavageless pain! I have no solution, except maybe to grow your hair so it covers your boobs like a mermaid. Then people can console you by telling you how wonderful you are at growing long strands of dead keratin from your scalp.
Nifty trick I learned is where the bones meet in the middle at the front, push them closer and stitch it together, not such a gap then! Also in terms of being diagnosed with a dodgy size I went from a 52e to a 46c!!! I lost my fat back and my now my boobs resemble snooker balls in a sock!! The joys of being a female!
This made me laugh so hard! After breastfeeding two children I’m now blessed with crepe-paper spaniel ear tits. They are so darn saggy and if I don’t wear a bra I can sweep the floor with them. If only the fact they didn’t meet in the middle was my only problem 😉 #FamilyFunLinky
You are hysterical! Mine always seem to point north, and never ever touch. My bra advice: NONE! I gave it up 4 years ago! Never going back! I’m free and loving every minute! xoxo #kcacols xoxo
Ha I read this is the week and loved it then. I was certainly not blessed in this department. Hanging out in my armpits as we speak ? Thanks for joining us at #familyfun
Is it bad I didn’t know this was a problem women faced…I will be bringing up it up at my next book club! #RVHT
I sometimes wish my great big boobies didn’t meet in the middle it would save the summer chub rub I get under my boobs. embrace the distance #RVHT
Hello. B cup here. One good tho g is that I actually gave up wearing bras two years ago. Don’t need them so I stopped bothering with them. #kcacols
Bra measurements are sh** anyway. You know the right size? The one that fits and you’re comfortable in. There is no ‘correct’ size, because bras aren’t a biological condition dammit!!! (Just saying. Lol.)

Oh, this did make me laugh! totally feel your pain – mine are the same too! Thank you for linking up to#KCACOLS I hope to see you back again next week. x
This did make me laugh, it sounds very heartfelt! As someone who only wears a bra for the extra padding and can never hope to fill even an A-cup I have no claims to any kind of cleavage whatsoever. One of the great things about pregnancy and breastfeeding was actually having boobs for the first time in my life! Sadly, that didn’t last long and since then I’m sure they’ve shrunk to even smaller than they were pre-pregnancy. Oh well. Just had to get that off my chest! (See what I did?!) #KCACOLS
This is me!! Stick a pair of glasses and a blonde wig on that green statue and that is what I look like! Great post xx #RVHT
I love seeing that so many people are giving up on bras completely. I love that time when I’m home from work and officially clock off from visitors or work and de-bra, pure bliss!!

Ah man if that was all I had to worry about regarding my post breastfeeding boobs 😉 #KCACOLS
Lol. You know you can create the illusion of cleavage with makeup too. I’ve only owned one wondebra and omg I loved it! I defo need to get another.
Obvs my body has changed a lot in the last few years and I’m happy to admit that sometimes I’m stuffing fat in a bra. Cleavage smeavage. Checkout So Happy In Towns latest post which ironically is also about boobies and how we should embrace our bodies no matter what.
Big booby love to you.
Thanks for linking up to #KCACOLS
I do sometimes do a bit of strategic contouring, but I wish I just had effortless cleavage! x
Shrunk to an A cup after 3 kids 🙁 I’ve given up! #RVHT
