23 Brilliant Products On Amazon That Make Life Easier For People With Big Boobs
It was 2001 when my boobs grew in big, and it was a little difficult in the beginning. Jogging seemed like it was out of the question, and wearing a button-down for school concerts meant annoying gaps between the buttons. If only I'd known about products for people with big boobs that made life a lot easier. Then I probably wouldn't have had a Lizzie McGuire-like meltdown in my kitchen.
I'm of the opinion that boobs are great at any size, but bigger boobs (just like smaller boobs) come with their own set of challenges. They can sometimes get in the way of sleeping, and mine often end up as a shelf for crumbs while I'm eating. Those with bigger chests are also more prone to boob chafing, and, since bigger breasts are typically heavier, mine give me some back pain and posture issues, too.
Thankfully, though, the world of boob-related inventions has vastly improved since 2001. Now they make sports bras that prevent bounce, double-sided tape to keep fabric flat, and towels specifically to keep your boobs dry and comfortable. They even make pillows that fit right in your cleavage. Intrigued? I don't blame you. Check out these brilliant products on Amazon that make life simpler for people with big boobs.
