Pole and breast size
Ok, this has been on my mind for awhile now…does pole dancing cause small boobs? It seems like the vast majority of the competitive pole dancers ive seen have small breasts unless they are either overweight (myself included) or have implants. My boobs have gotten alot smaller over the course of losing 50 lbs, they have gone from a 40D to a (just tried on bras today) 34DD. Even though thats still a really big size, since my boobs used to be alot bigger, even at this size they still are they are starting to sag from the weight loss https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif I would rather have perky b or c cups (which is what I had before i gained a bunch of weight) than a saggy double D. For 3 months I went without a pole, during that 3 months my boobs did not shrink AT ALL even though I still lost 20lbs in that time frame. I do a few pole sessions, and BAM my bra cup was too big, which is why i went bra shopping today. Now do the pole competitors have small boobs because pole dancing burns so much fat there is no fat on their body left to burn it from except their boobs? for example…one time my friend lost alot of weight, she lost it from everywhere but managed to keep her large breasts, but then she kept doing a ton of cardio and losing more weight and burned off all her chest she had, which was the only place left for her body to lose weight from. Or is it because of all the upper body strength that is required for pole dancing? for example…since late december i haven’t had my pole That whole time my exercise was doing the elliptical (which my butt and hips shrank rapidly faster after I started using it compared to before) and an insane amount of abdominal exercises every day. My stomach has lost the most inches over the last year from doing all the sit ups and what not. So.. if my stomach shrinks from doing sit ups, and my butt/hips/thighs shrink from doing the elliptical, will my chest shrink from pole dancing?? and yes i know as i lose weight everything will get smaller but will pole exasperate the problem? NOT that I have a problem with small boobs! but if they get any smaller my boobs will be like deflated water balloons that i will need plastic surgery to fix. I dont want to feel guilty thinking that im shrinking my boobs from pole dancing..

Oh my lovely upon reading I wanted to give you a big hug!
I wish I had an answer! I’m not an extremely strong pole dancer so I can’t say what happens after, but so far I haven’t found my boobs shrinking at all!
I’m a 32G and I personally have found that the muscles I develop from pole dancing actually helped perk mine up!
It sounds to me like as your underbust has lost 6 inches (congrats by the way really great going https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif) but your cup size has stayed the same it’s probably just the usual weight loss!
But whilst saying that I am expecting any second for all the really experienced dancers to come on and say "yea it does shrink your boobs" and me to get as worried as you! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif -
each body loses weight differently. its how our genetics do it. I know w/me ive lost my bust as well (last year I was a 46f – I just had a baby and was attempting to breastfeed, currently a 42dd) Mine have perked up a bit after doing pole and chest exercises. I would like mine to be a bit smaler but they still look like two sausages after having 2 kids.

I’m no personal trainer or fitness guru but I do know that when we lose weight we can not control where we lose it. The only way I’ve found to alter the shape of my body when I lost weight is by weight training, but that being said….there’s no weights you can lift for boobage LOL. We can work on our pectoral (chest) muscles that help with perkage but as far as inflating the balloons, there’s no real solution for that.
In my personal experience and from the dancers I know, pole dancing doesn’t cause boob shrinkage specifically. It does cause weight loss, which indirectly causes boob shrinkage but that’s about it.
I have always been in the itty bitty titty committee so I can’t really empathize with you https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
In my eyes you still have a pretty nice set of jugs, even after the loss of cup size https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_tongue.gif

Hey there…jeeze, if I could lose a size or so, I’d be fine! Mine are getting bigger! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif I have heard that they don’t stop growing ’till you’re 25, so I’ve got another year to do…and I’ll probably reach somewhere around a 34E. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif They’re hard to deal with.
I’ve heard that your pectoral muscles (I think??) keep them up well. So, the ones in the front of the chest, that also connect over to the arms, creating your armpits. Those ones are good for that kind of thing, I think. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gifAlso, I agree with Sissy, they’re nice. Not to worry. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Dont’ stop growing until you’re 25!?!?! I don’t want mine to be any bigger https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif it’s hard enough getting bras as it is! I hope they haven’t got 5 years left of growth!!

Hehe, Sakura, I think it really depends on your heritage and your hormones. See, my hormones are insane, so they like to give me huge hips and huge breasts. I also have a farmer-family heritage, so my body thinks I should have had like, three children by now https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif
Probably not, but that’s what I think! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
Honestly, though, I’ve heard of girls finishing their "growth" at the age of 13, whereas mine STARTED at 16, so I had a bit of a slow start. I don’t think you have anything to worry about! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif -

I know how your feel, I was a c cup in middle school. Im a dd. I really need to go get a bra fitting, its been over a yr. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif Its like as soon as you hit a particular size, the price sky rockets, dont carry your size or there are no fun ones!
I have found fun ones from fruit of the loom, they go up to a dd! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Ahh, ladies, I wish I could fit most DD bras! I’m pretty lucky I have someone who’s been doing bras for years, so she knows exactly what she’s looking for when she finds me bras. Still, I’ll get a bra somewhere else, and they don’t fit me at all. I’m hovering on the edge of E, and once I reach that…I’m screwed! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif
Lol, I’m sorry…feel like I kind of threadjacked this one! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

My sister constantly complains about that. She’s a 38 D and has the hardest time finding bras that don’t look like something our grandma would wear. I have ittsy bittsy little A cups, so I don’t have that problem, but I have noticed a distinct lack in pretty bras in the bigger sizes when I go lingerie shopping.
It’s not pole dancing per se that is the reason why these women have small breasts, but if you notice, the women who compete are all very strong athletes–a lot of them are quite muscular. When you train intensively and build up muscle like that, you likely have a pretty low body fat percentage, which generally translates to smaller boobs. For instance, I’ve been working out since I was 14 (I’m now 23) and have always heavily emphasized strength training, particularly upper body training. (Maybe I knew I was going to get into pole one day. Heh.) Consequently, I’m pretty athletic-looking–I have pretty muscular arms for a small girl, as well as being fairly heavily muscled in the stomach. I also don’t have a whole lot of body fat–I don’t know the exact percentage, but I would guess it’s quite a bit under average. And as you read above, I’ve got tittles.
Now, I may have ended up with small boobs anyway, because my mom has very small breasts, and I took after her body build, whereas my sister took after my dad’s side of the family, but I’ll never know for sure since I’ve been so active pretty much my whole life.
Take a look at female sprinters, who are all pretty muscular for women–they usually have pretty small boobs too, unless they’ve got implants. Same for other women athletes who are similarly built. Lots of lean muscle mass = low body fat percentage = a tendency toward smaller boobs. It’s not always the case, of course, but it’s pretty rare to see a really athletic/muscular women with large natural breasts.

I know! This is a constant rant of mine! As soon as you hit DD cup boom extra £25! It’s so sad. The only place I’ve found I can buy bras from is bravissimo or another one i can’t remember the name of but that’s really expensive too! It’s sad. I have a couple from ann summers but they only have two styles in bigger sizes (so you know I bought them both). Wish there was more variety for us bigger boobed ladies!

This is going to sound awful but have you looked in M&S? It’s pretty much the only place I’ve seen bras with big cups and smaller band sizes, and some of them look decent. I’m a D cup and sometimes go there when I need a plain and reliable bra. There isn’t much variety lingerie-wise in York https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif

It doesn’t sound awful at all my lovely! I have tried M&S but alas everything pretty isn’t in my size. I would be fine if I just wanted plain really full cupped white bras but I’m a bit fussy lol! I order everything online now! I’ve just found the name of the other one it’s" simply yours" x x

Aww there’s some lovely stuff on that site, I love the swimsuits https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif I’m a 32D so it’s a nightmare to find swimsuits/bikinis lol. Thanks for the link https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
-
Hey girls if someone could give me a little bit, I would be more than happy to get mine bigger https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif In fact I really hope they won’t go any smaller because after breastfeeding my 2 boys I don’t have much left (34B) and I don’t want to end like an ironing board https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-
34 B isn’t bad at all; I have 36 A’s and I just look on the bright side and figure they’ll stay perkier a lot longer. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
-
I was already heavy chested before, But after pregnancy and breastfeeding I went up to a DD. Now that I’m back and poling though, They’re shrunk back down to a D cup. I wear a 34 normally, But I buy 36 because I’m still breastfeeding and it gives me that little bit of room for expansion if the girls get too full https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I think it has more to with doing physical activity in general and less to do with just the pole. Your breasts store lots of fatty tissue, that’s why more often than not, They’re one of the first things to change when you gain or lose weight.

Try "Bravissimo" as well, they have amazing swimsuits, I love my ones from there! They have really good bras too, they just tend to be more pretty and girly and the other site have some more sexy ones. That’s just my opinion of course! Hope they help my lovely. I’ve been through the hassle of trying to find these things before and these sites were a godsend! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif Otherwise I’d never have any underwear! lol x -
Just a FYI, I found a wonderful site for great bras for busty (and average sized) women. It’s http://www.herroom.com. My little sister wears a 32 E and was telling me how much her bras cost. I asked her about online and she said that she hadn’t really looked into it. That’s the best site that I found as far as price, styles, and lables. They have designer bras as well and you can search by your size and then low to high price. Free shipping if you spend $70 or more. Hope it helps!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

This looks AWESOME!!! Just trying to figure out what their international shipping is like (as I live in the UK). Thank you for the link my lovely! Seen things I like already https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif x

if you lose weight its normal for breasts to get smaller but i notice for my breasts(32A) that they have gotten a little perkier..so theyve gotten a teenie tiny bit bigger which im really excited about lol.
and like tiggertail said…if anyone would want to share id love to have some of your breast!
and runemist34, i hope its true that boobs grow til were 25 because im 22and havent seen thme grow in a long time, plus i only started getting boobs at like 16 i think…seriously i need a boob miracle….
-
Jenny, yes…it's true. I'm living testament.
In the last 2 years, I've grown 4 cup sizes…from a D, to an F. Yep, I am now a 34 F.
The thing about bras, I've learned, is that the cup size is relative to the band size. See, most people look me up and down and go "You don't look THAT big!" There's two reasons for this: One, because I can rarely find any shirts that fit my big boobs, that also fit a small waist! So, I end up looking larger overall. And, two, because I'm a 34 around the waist, the boobs themselves don't LOOK that big, because compared to someone who is, say, a 38 or a 40 F, I'm tiny!
And, if you don't believe me, go to your local bra shop, and ask for the same cup size in two radically different band sizes…you'll see what I mean! Also, you can look up on the internet about how to measure yourself for a bra. It depends on the difference around from your bust to your waist. That't what makes your band size!
I started getting boobs at 16, I was as they say a "late bloomer" https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif And now look at me! Sheesh! If I could share, I would. I don't really like spending $275 on two bras. Good bras, mind, but still!
I will say that I've heard a lot about women losing cup size due to their exercise, and someone once told me (I have nothing to back this up, so I don't know if it's true!) that older fat is harder for the body to metabolize. Hence, it will take the fat you put on more recently…such as puberty! Like your boobs! Mostly, that's what they are…fat. And some baby-milk-making stuff.
Oh, and special note: I've been off the birth control pill for 2 years, also. I don't know if that has anything to do with my sudden increase in boob, but I have reason to believe that it's related. It's also helped me not be depressed, and feel healthier, in general!

Hehe I hope that holds true for me! I have two years til 25 but I am also a 32A and I don't think my boobs have grown since I was 14. 🙁 I've gotten snide comments about how small they are, but I'm slowly learning how to wear em (or lack of em) pretty well! I'm a pretty petite person overall, and I don't tend to lose weight or gain weight. I sometimes consider implants, but girls with big chests always tell me it's not worth the trouble, their backs hurt, etc. I don't know, I think it'd be fun to have big boobs for a day and wear low-cut shirts and jump up & down. I guess we always want what's on the other side of the fence huh? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
One of my friends had DDs until she lost weight. Her breasts got smaller and saggy but she invested in some nice pushup bras which make her boobs look perky. 🙂 And even if pole shrinks your boobs, you'll still have a rockin' body due to the intense workout, PLUS you'll have ninja-like pole skills! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif
-
@runemist34: yes i believe you, i worked at La Senza and different bra sizes are sometimes equivalent to another size…weird but true,
@xcandycoatedx: we always want whats on the other side of the fence as they say but at 22 im starting to have more confidence in myself( poling has helped alot ! ) and starting to accept my tiny boobs but with the magic of sexy la senza bras and a sexy shirt ive got it goin on 😉 but sometimes its so easy to loose confidence because we live in a world where beauty= big boobs but we have to learn to rock what we got and show the world that small breasts also has awesome advantages and are still hot 😉
-
I'm a nice full pretty perky B right now. I actually think all the stuff we do with pole helps perk them up. And I have been since age 17 about every cup size in the world. started out at an A at 17, was a B at 18 then went on BC pills and was a nice C stayed there for years got preggers at 33 became a D, breast fed 2 kids for a total of 3 years was a lovely DD stopped became a smallish B. Started pole and strength training and now have a nice full B cup (and at some times of the month spill over my b's lol) The nice full B cup actually came when I lost almost 20 lbs in the last 6 months.
-
I've learned to accept my boobs small size because of so many smaller chested pole dancers lol. I figure I fit in well when it comes to that. I've been an A cup for as long as I can remember,but would LOVE to be a B. That grow-til-25 theory is something I never heard, but wouldn't doubt, because I have noticed my boobs have gotten a bit bigger in the last 6 years or so (I'm 24 now, but also could have been from hormonal BC) Maybe one day I'll make it to that B!
I think seeing so many smaller-sized pole pros helped me become more confident with a chest I used to hate.
