My breasts are so big people accuse me of having a boob job, I hate them being so big – my bra straps give me scars
THE average bra size in the UK is 36DD, but for Amanda Nchoma she has to live with 40GG boobs.
And while she is happy to showcase her natural boobs, it doesn’t mean it’s always smooth sailing.
Amanda, 19, estimates that she has spent £500 to find bras that fit, as most high street stores don’t stock bras in her size.
She says: “There isn’t much diversity for bigger bra sizes; I normally have to shop in M&S or Bravissimo and they can cost me up to £40.”
Amanda first noticed her breasts growing in her early teens as a normal part of puberty.
However, by the time she reached the age of 14, she needed a 38E bra.

Amanda, who works in a call centre, says: “I have always had bigger boobs than most and it wasn’t until mid secondary school when they started to peak.
“In secondary school, there was a rumour that I had my boobs done and I still get questioned on them all the time.”

Amanda, from Little Hulton, Manchester, doesn't mind wearing but says she prefers to go without due to issues she’s encountered with the straps digging into her.
She continues: “The main problem that I have with them is my shoulders; when I wear a bra the straps dig in due to the weight of them and leave me with cuts.
“I’ve adapted to carrying that much weight but it has left me with permanent marks on my shoulders.”
Amanda also struggles to find clothes that fit, due to the size of her boobs.
She says she has to size up because it’s “difficult to find something that fits” her top half.
Her breasts have continued to grow throughout her late teens, and while she says she has become more confident in her body, she wouldn’t rule out a breast reduction in the future.

Amanda Nchoma, 19
Amanda says as she has gotten older, she has become more “comfortable” with her boobs and won’t stop herself from buying certain types of clothes.
However, Amanda says she’s constantly subjected to “staring” when she goes out in public as her boobs “draw a lot of attention” to her.
She adds: “I get stares and people beep their horns as I walk down the street.
“It doesn’t bother me, but when other girls give me dirty looks, it does.
“I’m just trying to go about my day.”
