I’ve got 36K boobs – I was so embarrassed of my body as a kid and thought my chest was disgusting, now I totally own it
A WOMAN has revealed that she has size 36K boobs and while she was embarrassed of her large breasts as a child, has learned to love her figure and her chest size.
Despite the judgement she receives from people and the rude looks that she often gets because of her large boobs, Jackie Adedeji is here to discuss life as a fuller-busted woman.
In a Channel 4 documentary, My Big Boobs: UNTOLD, which is available to stream now, we saw body confidence champion Jackie discover what life is like for those with bigger boobs.
In the documentary, Jackie opened up on how she has found life with large boobs.
The broadcaster, podcaster and writer explained: “I’m Jackie Adedeji and I’ve got big boobs.
“I got my big breasts when I was still just a kid.
“My mum and dad remember how awkward I felt back then.”
Jackie’s mum noted: “You used to try and deflect people from looking at your bustline.
“I remember you used to say that people talk to your boobs, when you talk to people, they talk to your boobs, especially men.”
Jackie then added: “I was just so embarrassed of my body, I thought it was so disgusting.”
Jackie explained that when she was a teenager, she couldn’t afford to buy sports bras, so had to buy them second hand instead.
She added: “When I was 15/16, I was buying used sports bras because I couldn’t afford proper sports bras and it was easier to buy used ones for £5 a pop from eBay.
“There’s lots of women out there who are being told to work out and lose weight, but how are you meant to work out if you can’t afford sports bras, you don’t really know what your size is.
“It’s not as easy for women to just ‘lose weight’.”
Not only this, but Jackie explained the stigma that she has faced as a result of the size of her chest.
She admitted: “People just assume you’re easy and you’re a s**t because you have big boobs.
“It’s such a gross feeling.”
Reflecting on her self-love, Jackie explained: “I know full well that I make having big breasts look really easy, a walk in the park, but that’s not the case for everyone.
“For women with big boobs, it can sometimes feel like your breasts are the only thing that the world sees of you.
“When you’ve got big boobs and you put them out there, people feel entitled to your body.”

But Jackie admitted that she has now learnt to love and “own” her large bust.
She shared: “I’ve grown to love my big boobs, but every woman is different.”
Jackie’s mum reflected: “It’s good because you’re empowering people.
“When I share some of your pictures on Facebook, my friends who I went to school with actually call me and say “wow, what your daughter is doing is amazing, we wish we had somebody in our day who would be bold enough to say ‘there’s nothing wrong if you have big boobs’”.
“I’m proud that you’ve taken ownership. I don’t think it could be easy.”
