Basically, 1. I am 16 and a 32D. All my friends are sizes 30F or 32F etc. I am scared i don't get any bigger because i haven't changed in a year. I am really worried.

2. Recently my friends have been speaking about shaving their pubic hair and one said that they shave all their's. I am scared to just in case I really hurt myself, I don't understand how they can.

:O You're a 32 D?! Lucky you - I'm just on the border of 32 B and 32 C. And I'm in my twenties.

Secondly, if you don't want to shave it, then don't. It's your body, and a lot of men don't care. You could always try trimming it though?

hey. i dissagree witha previous poster, breast size has nothing whatso ever to do with weight, im in a 36D at 16, my friend who is exactly the same weight and height as me is only a 36B... a friend of my mums is a 38J she is MAVVIVE! i dont know how she carries them tbh, my mum jokes about them *walkin in a mile before she does* LOL and my mum is a 38E so everyone is different, dont beat ya sef up over it :) and as for pubic hair, how many 16 year olds can do it? i cant :D haha. scares me dude (H) x

O Connor agony aunthey hun first of all - everyone has different shapes and bodies - dont compare yourself with your friends. you are actually quite big breasted for your age and it is a lovely size to be, so dont feel worried. (your friends must have HUGE boobs!!!). learn to love your body and embrace your shape.

as for shaving - i would advise maybe using hair removal cream or getting waxed for you first few times as shaving can result in rashes, ingrown hairs and general discomfort. especially if you dont know wat you are doing it can go wrong.

if you are going to shave -

1. make sure you use a new blade that is not blunt

2. use shaving foam that is for sensitive skin and preferrably has aloe vera in it.

3. if you can get aloe vera gel or a soothing moisturiser, apply after shaving.

4. exfoliate that area regularly to prevent ingrown hairs.

if you want any more advice feel free to email me

good luck xxx

I am a 38G and I would give anything to go back to a D cup. D cup was the last bra size that I had that didn't hurt my back. I am only 19 and am looking into breast reduction surgery because my back cant handle the weight of my boobs. Dont wish for bigger. Your at the largest size breast that a woman can have before it starts to affect the back.

As far as shaving I do it too and I do get some razor burn but the pain of razor burn is livable. Just try it and see if you like it. One warning is it will make you a little more itchy than you are now becasue it will grow stuble so if you get itchy its time to shave again.

PsyCookie agony auntOh my! Why would you wish for bigger breasts when yours are already considered, by many, a gift?! And like Uncle Phil said, I really think your friends fill the bras because having all your friends having bigger breasts than yours is statistically impossible!

Altough trimming is good enough for many, having no hair feels nicer and cleaner. Some people tend to object to shaving mainly because of the itchiness, but it's because they're doing it wrong.

The only way to learn to do this is by watching. Go to youtube and type "how to shave pubic area" in their search engine. There will be a couple of videos that will give you instructions on how to properly shave down there without all the after-effects. Be aware that you need to have an account because you need to be proven to be older than 18-years. I would have put a link here, but I think it would have been considered innapropiate.

Before watching the video there, I did get itchiness when I shaved and I often tried to avoid it. Afte I learned it, the itchiness was gone!

Now some people object shaving because hair does grow faster than you would want it to. Waxing is a better idea since the hair will take longer to grow.

It's your choice.

32D? Bloody hell, I wish there were girls like that around when I was 16! Your friends with F cups are either exaggerating or filling their bras with old socks - if not, thet'll be costing the NHS a fortune in reduction ops in a few years time because they can't sit up straight.

As for shaving your pubes, I can't for the life of me think why you would want to do that. Use scissors if you absolutely must, and just trim them so you don't have any 'clocksprings' hanging outside your knickers or bikini bottom. Removing them completely will be most uncomfortable, and if you have a lover it'll feel to him like he's bonking a hedgehog when they grow back a bit.

A nice triangular patch of pubes is a turn-on for most men and a landing strip or no pubes at all looks abnormal. A bit like a plucked chicken.

Hi....

I thik that ur breast size depends on your weight...

Second, I think you should go ahead with waxing ur pubic area instead of shaving...Before I used to shave and when i did the hair came out black and thick..it looked disgusting and my skin felt like a beard..and i had to shave everyday because it grew too FAST !(also it gives u the itching sensation) .. I think the best way for u is to wax..when i started waxing my skin became softer and smoother and now i have to wax every one month because it takes a long time for the hair to grow...its more clean.. OFCOURSE it will be painful at first but later you will get used to it and it wont hurt as much...

Try it:)

Good Luck

1. D cup is WAY big enough, if your friends are an F cup then they may want to consider losing weight.

2. You just have to do it really carefully, or do as a lot of us do and tweeze / wax around the front (so you can wear a swimming costume without showing any hair) and then trim around the more delicate bits. You don't want to shave it completely or you'll look like a little girl / porn star.

Good Luck!! xx
