BGC Advice: Charities

Since it's the season of giving and all that good stuff, could I get some help from you all in finding charities that support breasted people?

We all know how hard it is to afford bras and other supportive undergarments so if you know of a charity that helps support (literally and figuratively, of course) those in need please add it to the list? I'd particularly like to add charities that help people regardless of their size, gender identity, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, etc. 

If you know of a charity that supplies breasted people with undergarments they would otherwise be unable to afford, please post it in the response box below (Expand the notes for responses; Links are allowed and encouraged) ?

BGC Advice - Acne

(If you do respond, please be polite to other readers. And expand the notes section for responses. Thanks ^.^)

I've gotten a few questions recently about acne around bra straps and underboob. Sometimes, no matter how clean the skin is, or the bra, or how dry the area stays, acne is just too persistent and the bra only makes it hurt. So my question to all of you is: How do you get rid of bra-acne when even medicine doesn't work?

BGC Advice - Underboob Rash

Today's comic was a frequently suggested topic because a lot of people are unsure of how to deal with it themselves. If you've figured out a good remedy to underwire/underboob chaffing and irritation, could you please share below (expand notes for responses)?

BGC Advice - Camoflage

I've mentioned that if you want to, you shouldn't feel like you have to cover up. Of course, the flip side of that is true as well. I keep getting questions about this predicament and would love to get the advice of all the readers.

If you do feel more comfortable disguising your real size and minimizing your chest, how do you do it (especially now that the weather is getting hotter)?

Please stop posting things like "don't hide them" etc. Some people prefer to hide them or feel more comfortable that way. It's their decision. If you don't have advice, just don't respond please.

Advice Needed - Awkward Stares

I'd love to get everyone's take on this situation, since I know we've all dealt with it. 

I was wondering how you would recommend dealing with guys who stare right at your boobs. I'm 14, and I had that done to be for the first time the other day, and I felt so vulnerable and mortified. It was a public place (Doctor's waiting room) so I couldn't exactly scream EYES UP HERE BUD. I was just wondering what's a good, discrete way to say NO.

Thanks to the fact that I have crazy eyes, my death glares usually do the trick but I still feel compelled to change how I'm sitting. It's incredibly frustrating, as you all know, to have to move from a comfortable position because one creep feels entitled to stare.

How do you guys all handle this situation? (expand notes for responses)

Advice Needed - Nipple Hair

Alright, so this question came in the other day. If you don't want to answer publicly, send me a response with DNP (Do not post) at the top and I will add just your response, not your name, to this post.

 I'm a well-endowned lady, and lately I've been wondering what's the "healthy amount" of hair on my breasts (around the nipple). I remember once reading about excessive hair being a symptom of who knows what, and I just want to hear from other BGC readers on what's normal. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience or medical knowledge regarding this?

Responses are below and in the notes:

Nipple hair... Gosh, I wish there was an Anon option heh! I have that problem, I end up plucking. It's kind of embarrassing, but I don't know of it being a medical problem. I knew another girl who had the same problem. And I was just in the hospital (other reasons) and they did blood and urine tests on me. It was a general screening, of course, they weren't testing for anything in specific, but no health concerns were raised, so idk.

Nipple hair: see a doctor. You will need blood tests for testosterone and oestrogen balance. Hairiness may be a symptom but it isn't always a symptom.

I'm a busty girl and have a fair bit of nipple hair and it's naturally dark, though it isn't like an excessive amount but it's noticeable and I'm really insecure about it. I'm not sure if it's normal but I was so insecure about it that I wouldn't go topless in front of my partners and then I got to the point where I just started using tweezers and it worked so that's a bit of advice for people who are insecure about it ^^, 

I have a fair amount, and I tweeze but my mom got electrolysis for hers so there's always that option!

I don’t know the poster’s medical history, so I don’t want to assume… but I know hair can be a symptom of PCOS. If that’s something that may sound likely, perhaps make an appointment with a doctor. I wouldn’t recommend tweezing it, though, as it can get infected and cause an abscess.

Advice Needed - Areolas

A question came in the other day about areola size.

will areolas reduce in size if my breasts have increased due to weight gain, and will mostly reduce in size if I start exercising again?

Personally, mine have remained consistently proportional so this is out of my realm of experience. Does anyone have any experience with areolas going down in size or medical knowledge thereof?

Advice Needed - Running

This question just came in. Sports bras work by compressing your chest but when there's a lot of weight on your chest, this compression can actually makes it a lot harder to breath. 

I need some workout advice. I am a 32DDD but when I get regular sports bras they don't really help and it's uncomfortable to run. I invested in a good quality sports bra from Nike and I felt like it was going to work great-until I started running. I felt like I couldn't breathe properly and it was causing a lot of pain. I tried loosening it but it didn't help, and the next size up was too big for my waist size but was perfect for my bust size... so what do I do? Should I go back to the old bras?

You've got a bit of a catch-22. You shouldn't be in that much pain, especially in a good quality bra. If you can, try to get a different bra that you're able to try out in the store. In the meantime, you may want to try exercises that are lower impact, like swimming or yoga.

Any other advice (expand notes for responses)?
