I'm a 17 yr old female, and am presumably fully developed, but with very small breasts. I have the approximate bra size of 36AA. I'm wondering if there's a chance of breasts taking longer to develop, or if I just have a small bust.
My period started, my hair grew, at about age 12, and I'm quite sure I've stopped growing, as I've been the same size (5'4, 120lbs, shoe size 6-7) for 3 years.
So...anybody else with such a small bust for an "adult" body? It doesn't really matter too much to me, though I'd like to have a bigger one...(I have to wear tight shirts for to know that I really have a bust, but I don't like to wear what I consider as somewhat indecent clothes)..
I think my 13 yr old sister will surpass me quicky, and I feel somewhat like a kid with such small breasts. (I do have the other womanly curves though, and an adult body. Just a really small bust)
Anyway, just thought I'd ask. Thanks:)

Hey thanks. You guys all have great answers.
I was just curious, and am not real concerned about being a small breasted woman..and I really won't let it bother me now! You all had some great points:) muchas gracias!

You may be fully developed. Your breasts might grow if you gain a lot of weight, and if you ever have kids, they'll grow (at least while you breast-feed).
Small breasts can be beautiful; don't give in to any societal pressure to want a larger bust size. I've always wanted smaller breasts. And one of my best friends, who is in her mid-20's and has very small breasts, is very attractive. She carries herself with confidence, and guys really respond to that. She dates a lot, actually. She never shies away from wearing a bikini, and she's told me that she loves being able to wear tank tops that look better bra-less (something I've always been jealous of). You probably look great just the way you are!

It just might not happen for you. Learn to love the body you have. There are ways to dress to make it look like you have bigger breasts if you want. There are also great bras that will help with this. Halter tops give the impression of being larger. You will be able to wear thoise low-cut dresses without worrying that you might fall out! You will never have backaches from having too-large breasts. You won't have guys looking at you or trying to go out with you just because you have a large chest. You will know it is because of who you are. You will never have saggy, droopy breasts later in life. Learn to love the body you have. You can't do anything about it unless you want to have surgery. Some women develop breasts later in life or after they have children, too. Learn how to dress for your body type and accept what you have. Peace.

Your breasts will grow, during pregnancy and after childbirth and also with age and after menopause and when you gain weight....
I used to have a small A cup at 16-22 then I had a cup B 22-38 and now I have a size C....
Remember, there are also advantages! If you have large breasts, you can have back pains and shoulder pain...and many men gawk at your chest and don't really "see you". And when you get older...they sag... so smaller breasts now is a GOOD thing!

I am generally a 36A. at 30 i grew a little in to a 36B- then I became more active at 35 and reduced back to an A cup again. i can assure you you will change over the years. but...
there is something to be said for a smaller size breast- ( back pain doesn't exist, less gawking at by the guys; just for the mere fact that you are over sized up top, etc.)
you have to know that you are the way you are for a reason- just love your self as you are-
...and on occasion you can put on a wonder bra or water bra of sorts to feel more endowed. trust me you are just fine- the way you are

I know what you're going through. When I was your age, guys used to say that I work for the Itty Bitty Titty Commitee. They'd laugh until one guy said, "NO WAIT, she's the president of the itty bitty titty commitee!!" My brother used to say,"put bandaides on those misquito bites" I was humilated most of my life. I didn't have to wear a bra but I did anyway. I was a 32 double A until I got pregnant. And now I'm a 34 A.
Two good things about being small breasted;
1 - when you're older you won't have saggy breast that hang down to your belly button
2 - men will like you for your mind and not your body!

I am not a female; however, my wife is in your category. Your breast may grow a little more, but I wouldn't expect much. You can always buy a padded bra or just be proud of what you have. There are guys out there they don't look at the size of the breast (believe me). Just be confident in yourself and not matter what you have to offer, you can offer with your chin up high! This is no different than a guy asking about wanting a larger penis. God makes us all different for a reason.

There a lots of adult women who have the same bust size as you. There are things out on the market that claim to increase bust size. If they really work, I don't know. So Unless you are considering waisting money on products that may not work or money on implants, I would suggest you get used to and accept it.
Your breast will get bigger when you have kids, and if you gain weight.

I wouldn't worry about it, I was a 34 AA until the age of 22. (I'm 30 now). By no means am I huge now (34 B), but I'm happy with what I got. I was also just like you, where I got my first period at 12, and stopped growing as a teenager.
It's nice to see that you are okay with it! Just hang in there.

I hate to tell you, but it is most likely you will not grow anymore. HOWEVER, if you take a look around, almost all of the runway clothes models have very small chests. Kate Moss is just an example. And surveys show that men do not rate "bust size" as their top priority.

They will prolly stay that way.... My cousin had a very small chest and for her 21st birthday she went and got implants. It made her feel better about herself but the Drs told her something about her muscles in her chest being so tight that her breasts would never grow.. they actually had to cut thru some muscle to get the implants in... There's nothing wrong with having a small chest.. just think, you wont get the back pain later that comes with a large one :)
