There's no getting around it – boobs can be pretty weird! And whether we’re ready for them or not, just about EVERYONE, of every gender, gets at least some boob growth when they hit puberty.
So most new boob owners have a LOT of questions, like:
- Are my boobs ‘normal’?
- How do I look after them?
- Why do boobs hurt sometimes?
- Do I have to wear a bra? How do I even BUY a bra?
- And is it all right to sometimes feel a bit annoyed about the whole boob situation?

In this book, they dive further into the podcast topics that resonated most with sensitivity, hilarity and serious smarts, and open the conversation further to include personal stories from listeners.
