What’s all the fuss about breasts? Women have so much more to offer than physical beauty, but it’s true that confidence comes from feeling comfortable in our own bodies. Regardless of your breast size, you might find your self-confidence and ability to do what you want to do is not where you want it to be. For example, if you aren’t able to run, bike, or play sports like you want to because of large breasts, they truly are affecting your quality of life.
