More and more women are opting for natural methods to achieve a larger bust without the need for surgery. In this article, Mytour will guide you through some techniques. However, it's important to note that many of these 'tips' for enlarging the bust are not scientifically proven.
Steps
Creating a More Positive Image for Your Bust

Make a habit of maintaining good posture. Some women feel their bust looks smaller than it actually is when they slouch. To create a more defined cleavage, all you need to do is stand tall! Keep your back straight, head held high, and pull your shoulders back. Keep your neck straight from top to bottom without tilting forward. Gently push your chest out as you stand or walk. Now, take a look in the mirror! Are you surprised that such a small tip can make a big difference?

Wear clothes designed to accentuate your bust. One often overlooked way to enhance your bust size is by choosing outfits that highlight your natural curves. For instance, shirts made from fabric with pleats or puffiness around the chest area can create the illusion of a larger bust. Scarves also have a similar effect if worn properly.
- Shirts with horizontal stripes across the chest are sure to make your bust appear larger. This is also the reason why people who worry about their weight tend to avoid horizontal stripes, while those wishing to enhance their bust should opt for clothes that add volume.

Wear the correct bra size. Wearing a bra that is either too small or too large can make your bust look smaller than it really is. Therefore, you shouldn't wear an oversized bra to make your bust appear larger, but instead opt for a bra that lifts the bust. More importantly, wearing the wrong size bra can be uncomfortable! Ideally, you should wear a bra that lifts and supports your bust, rather than flattening it or just loosely holding the sides. If you think you're wearing the wrong size, remember to ask for a better fit the next time you shop for lingerie. After wearing the same bra size for years, many women find that they feel better choosing a more fitting size.

Wear padded or push-up bras. A good padded bra can significantly increase your bust size and also provide a more upright shape. On the other hand, a push-up bra can 'lift' your bust considerably, creating the impression of a fuller chest. Using these types of bras is a great way to enhance your outerwear, helping you appear more attractive or even fabulous.
- While some people suggest wearing multiple bras, this is generally a bad idea, regardless of the type of bra. Though this might make your bust appear larger when done correctly, you'll be uncomfortable and likely have to adjust them throughout the day.

Avoid wearing thin or tight bras. If you're concerned about your bust size, you should avoid wearing bras that are thin or made from lace. While they may look beautiful on mannequins in lingerie stores, they don't flatter real bodies. Because they can't pad or lift the bust, they won't make your bust look larger. Instead, opt for a padded or push-up bra to maximize your bust's actual size.
- You should also avoid wearing tight bras like sports bras (unless you're working out), as they tend to flatten your bust instead of lifting it. While these are great for comfort during exercise, they're not ideal when you want to maximize your bust's curve.

Don't stuff your bra. This high school trick can make your bust look bigger, but it's only a last resort. Using tissue paper or fabric to pad your bra will likely cause discomfort, especially if the material makes you sweat or irritates your skin. If the padding shifts, your bust can look uneven or as though there are lumps inside. There's also the risk of the padding falling out or sliding up, revealing itself even after you carefully inserted it. Therefore, you should avoid stuffing your bra unless you feel absolutely forced to do so.
Applying natural methods

Consider using herbs to enhance breast size. There are many herbal supplements and products on the market, both online and in stores, aimed at promoting breast development. While some people swear by these natural remedies, no herb has been scientifically proven to be as effective as traditional methods from the "West." Therefore, it is important to use these remedies cautiously. Additionally, some herbs may cause serious complications for individuals taking Western medications (especially blood thinners), so always consult with a doctor before taking any herbal supplements. Herbs believed to support breast growth include:
- Saw palmetto
- Fennel
- Black pepper
- Wild yam
- Dong quai
- Gastrodia
- Caraway
- Pueraria Mirifica

Consider using natural oils or creams. Along with supplements that claim to help increase breast size, there are various oils and creams that may offer similar effects. Like herbs, there is little scientific evidence proving these products have a significant impact on breast size, even though many women claim successful results with topical application. Before trying these products, it is recommended to consult with a doctor to discuss more effective, scientifically backed methods for achieving your desired outcome.
- Note that some hormone-adjusting treatments, such as estrogen creams, are available for topical use. When applied in appropriate doses, they can indeed promote breast growth. However, do not confuse hormone creams with natural remedies, as they may cause side effects.

Breast massage. There are claims that performing breast massage correctly can contribute to slight breast growth. Sometimes, people recommend using oils, special creams, or small devices to assist with breast enhancement. This method can be relaxing, improve mood and body shape, but there is no scientific evidence supporting that breast massage leads to growth.
- However, since this method is relatively safe and inexpensive (unless you purchase massage tools), feel free to apply it if you wish. As mentioned, massage can be a quick way to achieve a relaxed state.
Diet and exercise

Build chest muscles. Weightlifting isn't just an excellent way to improve your strength, mood, and overall health, it's also a great way to enhance your bust! Specifically, focusing on strengthening the chest muscles under the breasts with daily exercises can increase the size, firmness, and lift of the breasts. Here are two sample exercises you should try:
- Chest press: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with elbows bent at 90 degrees. Use your chest muscles to raise the weights and bring them together. Slowly lower the weights back to the starting position. Train 3-5 days a week, doing 3 sets each session, with 12-15 reps per set.
- Push-ups: Start by kneeling on your knees and hands. Stretch your legs backward and balance your body on the balls of your feet. Bend your arms to lower your body to the ground. Push your body back up using your arms and chest. Keep your back straight and your hips lifted so that your entire body forms a straight line. You can lower your knees if the standard push-up position is too difficult. Train 3-5 days a week, doing 3 sets per session with 12-15 reps each time.

Focus on back and shoulder muscles. The chest isn't the only area you should work on. Generally, when training for strength, you should ensure that all major muscle groups are engaged every week to maximize overall body strength and prevent injuries. Additionally, strengthening muscles around the chest can positively affect breast size. For instance, building shoulder and back strength can add definition to the upper body and help keep the breasts lifted. Both of these can make your breasts appear larger and more shapely. Start training your back and shoulders with the following exercises:
- Dumbbell Y Raise: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand in front of your thighs. Lift the dumbbells in front of you and above your head, forming a Y shape, and be sure to move smoothly. Keep your torso steady and maintain an upright posture. Finish the movement by slowly lowering the dumbbells back to the starting position. Train 3-5 days a week, performing 3 sets each session with 15-20 reps per set.
- Chest-supported dumbbell row: Hold two dumbbells and get into a push-up position with your arms straight. Keep your hips stable and row one dumbbell from the ground toward your chest, keeping your elbow close to your body. Lower the weight back to the floor and repeat with the opposite arm. Train 3-5 days a week, doing 3 sets per session with 12-15 reps per set.

Don't worry about getting too bulky. People often say that women can become bulky, muscular, and lose their attractiveness after strength training. In reality, women cannot develop large muscles without professional training like bodybuilders or the use of steroids. Their bodies don't produce as much testosterone as men, so it's unlikely that their muscles will grow excessively on their own. While women can develop lean and strong muscles, they would need to follow a professional training regimen (or use steroids) to build muscle mass like men.

Consider gaining weight if you're thin. Breasts are primarily made of fatty tissue. Just like other body fat, breast fat will shrink when you lose weight. If you're thin and have small breasts, adding a bit of body fat could help them appear fuller. However, avoid gaining too much weight, as rapid weight gain and obesity can lead to numerous health issues. It's crucial to moderately increase your calorie intake for one or two weeks and then assess the results. If you're not satisfied with the changes, revert to your previous diet.
- However, it's important to note that every woman tends to gain weight in different areas. Some gain weight in their thighs, belly, or other areas before the breasts.
- It’s essential to maintain a healthy eating regimen, even if you're trying to gain weight. Opt for lean proteins, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates instead of foods high in unhealthy fats and sugars. Always stay active by engaging in cardio exercises for about 2 hours and 30 minutes per week, along with at least two strength-training sessions.

Don't believe the "spot reduction" myths. There's a common misconception that we can burn fat in specific areas of the body by targeting those areas with exercise. In reality, spot reduction doesn’t work, and you can only gain or lose fat from your entire body. This myth has been debunked by science multiple times. Therefore, if you're aiming to develop larger breasts, don’t waste time focusing on fat loss from specific areas. It will not be effective!
- Although you can't selectively increase or decrease fat in a particular area, you can build muscle in targeted areas by performing heavy exercises for those spots. However, remember that most people look their best (and reduce injury risk) when they maintain a balanced and varied workout routine.
Enhancing breast size with medication

Consider taking birth control pills. For women seeking to prevent unwanted pregnancies while also wanting to increase their breast size, birth control pills offer an effective solution for both issues. This is because many birth control pills, which are hormone-based, often lead to breast enlargement as a common side effect. Most birth control pills contain the female hormone estrogen, which, as discussed below, can slightly increase breast size. However, you should absolutely not take birth control pills solely to enlarge your breasts, as they are powerful medications that may lead to severe side effects (although rare). Not all birth control pills contain estrogen, and those that do can have additional effects on your body, so it's essential to consult with your doctor before starting them. Some side effects of birth control pills include:
- Mood swings
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Reduced libido
- Weight gain
- Light vaginal bleeding
- Note that not all women experience breast growth while taking birth control pills, and those who do see minimal growth.

Explore estrogen therapy. Estrogen, a naturally occurring female hormone, may be prescribed for various reasons. For example, estrogen is often used to manage menopausal symptoms in middle-aged women. One of the side effects of taking estrogen is a slight increase in breast size. However, as previously mentioned, you should absolutely not take estrogen solely for breast enlargement. This is because replacing your body's natural estrogen with synthetic estrogen can lead to various side effects and increase the risk of future health problems. Estrogen should only be taken if prescribed by a doctor to treat another condition. Side effects of estrogen include:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Weight gain
- Vaginal discharge
- Breast tenderness
- Increased risk of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer
- Increased risk of stroke or blood clots

Breast development through progesterone therapy. Progesterone, another female hormone, may be prescribed in some situations. Progesterone is commonly given to prevent the uterine lining from becoming too thick in women taking estrogen. Like estrogen, progesterone can slightly promote breast enlargement. However, like estrogen, progesterone is a potent medication and should not be taken solely for breast enhancement. Only take this hormone if your doctor recommends it for another medical reason. Side effects of progesterone include:
- Acne or excessive hair growth
- Cough
- Weight changes
- Joint pain
- Vaginal irritation
- Symptoms similar to estrogen therapy (including an increased risk of certain cancers and other serious health concerns)
- Depression (rare)

Increase breast size with SSRI medications. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class of popular antidepressants, have a side effect of mildly increasing breast size. While SSRIs are relatively safe and have fewer complications than other antidepressants, they are still not recommended for use solely to enlarge the breasts. Therefore, consider this option only if your doctor recommends taking them. Never take SSRIs just to increase your breast size. In addition to breast growth, the side effects of SSRIs include:
- Nausea
- Reduced libido
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Dry mouth
- Weight gain
- Sleepiness
What can you realistically expect?
- Your breasts might only undergo minimal changes. In reality, you won’t be able to grow them to the largest size. You might want to measure weekly to track how your breasts evolve over time.
- Everyone reacts differently to herbs, diet, exercise, and medications, so you might notice changes that differ from others, even if they follow the same methods.
- You must be patient to see results from the natural breast enlargement strategies, so prepare for a waiting period.
Warning
- Even though herbs are natural, excessive use can still harm your body. Consult with a doctor before starting any supplements aimed at breast enhancement.
- Birth control pills don’t protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. If you use birth control, you should still use a condom unless you’re in a monogamous relationship with a partner who has recently been tested.
