Mine are so large, they tend to get in the way.
I can't speak for all women and I think some of it has to do with the size of one's breasts as well.
For me, it is problematic to do any kind of exercise particularly running. They just get in the way of everything and makes things challenging at the best of times. A good sports bra definitely helps but it's not the Holy Grail. Sleeping on my stomach is also not comfortable and can actually hurt. Going for a massage and having to lie on my stomach always proves to be an issue. Hell, trying to buy a bra that not only fits well but is also pretty that doesn't cost the equivalent of a mortgage payment would be nice. Finding lingerie that fits well, despite most many assumptions, is often a real problem. I've always been jealous of women who can go into a Marshalls and pull off a bra from the rack or order something online without having to try it on for size.
As many pros as there are for having large breasts, there are many more cons I think. It's not all sunshines and rainbows unfortunately but I have what I have and I make the best of it.
Really good sports bras that actually work aren't very comfortable and are rather expensive. (Shock absorber makes a really good no bounce bra, but they cost about $70 each) plus it's an area that sweats a lot so they need frequent washing. Bras are damaged by washing machines and dryers. I like to run, good sports bras are a requirement, because bouncing boobies are very painful and awkward.
I can't sleep on my stomach. It's very painful, and the increased pressure on my lungs makes breathing hurt too.
Plus add most of the things on Daisy's list.
Ok, yeah there are some problems. Mostly back pain for me, and also in crowded places I always end up getting an elbow hitting me in the chest (it doesn't help that I'm not all that tall), and like a lot of women said, laying on my stomach sometimes hurts, too. Finding clothes that don't pull oddly around my breasts is also difficult. I still love my boobs though!
that's insane. i never once touched another woman's treasures unless given permission or during making out.
some of these guys need to be neutered.
Yes random "feels" from strangers happens much more frequently than one would imagine is acceptable. Most don't even bother to camouflage the poor attempt at getting a feel. I have to agree with all previous posts. I have large breasts and they are amazing as long as you never want to exercise, have deep pockets for expensive bras, have a great masseuse to relieve the pain (or wait we can't lay on the table ) and you enjoy the feeling of sweat dripping between your cleavage. But yes if you get past all the cons, I am sure you will find them phenomenal. Oh yes and one week a month even the shower hurts them.
I was "Blessed" at a young age.
Being with D+Cups before high school led to many groping and self conscience about my figure.
It didn't help being short too! I used to HATE my big BOOBS!
Sports were always a problem and running was almost impossible, even in a gym on a treadmill!
Sports bras are still a joke for me! They never were any good before and like others have said, the underboob sweat is always a problem.
As a young adult, my boobs were very large with huge aureola. But they nipples were inverted. It made me feel like a FREAK!
I was always hesitant to be naked with a new lover the first time in case they freaked out about them. A few did and it was uncomfortable being with them.
After getting married and having kids, I found myself even more troubled over the size of my boobs! They became freakishly HUGE but my nipples popped out and were insanely sensitive! The slightest brush would send me over the edge and I dreaded breast feeding because I thought I was bad for having climaxes while nursing!
Finding practical bras are frustrating although I prefer to wear sexy and somewhat revealing styles. The support is often a compromise. But I still wear the sexy ones and have to buy new ones often. Balance was often a problem as well! Center of Gravity would get thrown off frequently so some times, just everyday tasks and activities could become a problem. Forget having a good clean golf swing!
Clothing is a problem finding blouses and dresses that fit right. Most are too big and have to be altered and taken in below the bust. Many styles I find are more like exotic party wear and make me look like a stripper. So regular dresses have to be found at larger women clothiers and altered extensively or custom made.
Sleeping is somewhat of a compromise. I sleep in the nude and often roll over on my sides and that can be a problem. They get pinched or caught under an arm or pull. Sleeping on my belly often requires a pillow under my belly to prevent my back from overextending.
Nowdays, I enjoy having them. Being that they are so large and firm, I am often accused of having them "Done" since they are so high and my nipples are often erect from wearing demi cup or shelf bras to expose them. I've often thought about having my nipples pierced since I enjoy having my nipples "UP" But I can't handle the thought of enduring the pain of the piercing process on both. I love the jewelry they have for nipple piercing but just use clamp on and specialty type rings that are custom made.
So yes. Big Boobs are not always the greatest for us gals that have to deal with them every day!
They may be great for you guys to look at and play with but they are a lot of work for us!
Kisses!

Wow, I have read this thread with fascination.
I DON'T have large boobs, I am one of those girls mentioned who can grab a bra off the shelf and not try it on. I know from my mother, who is much larger than me, of some of the problems related to large boobs but I never realised there were so many more.
No one talks about the rewards. I look at some of the profile pics of the people in this thread and think, wow they are spectacular... real model figures with gorgeous enormous boobs. No one seems to think like that. Are we all deluded by the fantasies about big tits?
Very few things are worse then being woke up by your boyfriend (unknowingly) pinching a nipple under his elbow as he moves in bed beside you. I'm a side sleeper and it's happened more than once. Particularly when we were camping.
It's not like I have the biggest boobs out there, but they're big enough. At least I think so. And running actually hurts a lot. What I usually do is put on a well fitted bra with extra support and thick shoulder straps and then a sports bra on top of it, it helps a little bit at least.
As for the groping, I've never had a stranger grabbing my boobs, but a lot of guys have grabbed and actually slapped my ass in public. And that's very uncomfortable, it's not very cool and certainly not a turn on unless you want that person to do it. It's just so fucking rude and I'm most likely to turn around and punch the guy.
Very superficial I know, but most of my booby friends (including myself) find that boobs are a nightmare for clothes. At an extreme one of my friend's is a UK size 8 clothes size, has to but get a size 16 bikini top! And most of us find buying tops a struggle. Having been wearing a plus D cup since I was 14, I am used to ugly dents and red marks on my shoulders, and often choosing not to wear a halter neck because I will have crippling neck and bad back ache the next day as a consequence. And sleeping on my front is never an option! However I am in proportion, it's my natural shape and I'm comfortable with that. And am happy to repel unauthorised gropers!!
Seems to be there are many factors, not only size but the self supporting factor. I am on the large side and can go bra-less depending what the activities of the day are going to be.
If I am going shopping, I need no additional support. But if I am going to participate in a heavy activity I sure need the best Sports Bra available. If I am going on the beach for a run you know I need support.
Yes I have been groped by men that was not welcomed and just in principle a good kick in the balls crossed by mind, but I never went that far.
I have one other problem, my sister in law has perfect boobs larger than most but not too large. Self Supporting and when without a bra they move just enough to attract attraction.
Why could we all have not gotten those kind.
But I know lots of us are happy with what we have and so are our guys.
