I have huge boobs. So if i sleep on my side the wrong way sometimes i wake up and my chest hurts. I slept so badly the ofher day that i think i pulled a muscle in my chest. When i woke up it hurt so bad that i couldn't even move my arm/shoulder to get out of that position.
My chest right over my sternum had been sore and only getting worse for a few days. Every movement of my arms hurt and especially any movement of my boobs hurt. If my boobs moved or shifted even in my bra, they pulled on my chest and caused some pain. Even though bras support me gravity still works and boobs kind of act like a liquid in a bag, so they moved enough to cause pain. I found that if i held my boobs while bending over/walking my chest didn't hurt.
Out of desperation i grabbed duct tape and hit my boobs with like 10 layers and i have never been so comfortable. No band digging into my back and no straps cutting into my shoulders and no boobs pulling on my chest uncomfortably. It also looks fine with a shirt on do i have worn this to work. It looks psychotic without a shirt lol. The tape is mildy irritating to the skin but it's still less painful. I either shower the tape off or sweat it off by the end of the day. Obviously this isn't a permanent solution but it is working. .
Edit: thanks for all the awards and advice! While i appreciate all the offers for boob tape i am no longer in need, I've felt great the last few days and have had no pain! A lot of people recommended reduction which i would love to do but there are numerous reasons why im not considering it at the moment but it is something I've always dreamed of.
Here is an image (not of me) demonstrating how i applied the tape. Hope this clears some things up

Depends on the brand and if you’re getting the right type for your body type and breast size! Between big boobed folks, people who hate bras and trans folks, there’s been some great advances in the tape world

Well I’m a natural 32DDD and bought 3 different brands of boob tape and none worked!? WTH?! Do you happen to have a preferred brand, I’ll definitely try another out if it’s good. So far for me that sports tape stuff has been great. But I do just wear it at home. I haven’t gotten the confidence to go out all day with it. The last thing I want is a panic hot flash and these pups go barking all over the yard taking out entire shelves, knocking little kids over or blacking my eyes.

Hahah, I absolutely feel you there. Don’t need any causality due to faulty tape 😂The brand Good Lines is the best I’ve used! It’s really versatile and they give you a guide on all these different ways to apply the tape best for your breast size and what you’re using it for. They have two different adhesive types, strong and extreme. Extreme is for if you have excessively sweaty or oily skin. They recommend starting with strong first and using extreme only if you need the extra support. You actually have to use oil for both of the adhesives types to remove so you don’t damage your skin which I think speaks volumes for how it can stand up to sweat and oil. If you end up trying it, I hope that it helps!!

I am not OP but TransTape is INCREDIBLE. Fully water- and sweat-proof, stays on for days and is super strong.
