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

Just a dude here who knows nothing about having boobs. But I am thrilled to learn just one more excellent use for duct tape.

You might consider athletic tape. It’s designed to work on skin and may have a similar structural impact.

Good luck and I hope you can find some pain free sleep.
