For most women, buying new bras is an occasional necessity. But for 29-year-old Paige Amelia, it’s an ongoing and costly struggle. Living with gigantomastia, a rare condition that causes continuous and uncontrollable breast growth, Paige finds herself constantly updating her wardrobe as her P-cup breasts keep expanding.

Despite the physical and emotional challenges that come with her condition, Paige remains determined to raise awareness and share her story. From dealing with daily discomfort to spending a fortune on custom bras and clothing, her journey highlights the realities of living with gigantomastia.
What Is Gigantomastia? The Rare Condition That Causes Unstoppable Growth
Gigantomastia is an extremely rare condition that leads to excessive breast tissue growth, often occurring rapidly and unpredictably. It can develop at different life stages, including puberty, pregnancy, or as a reaction to hormonal changes. In some cases, certain medications can also trigger its onset.

While rare, this condition can significantly impact a person’s mobility, posture, and confidence. The weight of continuously growing breasts often results in:
- Chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain
- Skin irritation and rashes from excess friction
- Limited mobility and difficulty exercising
- Trouble finding well-fitting clothing and bras
For some, breast reduction surgery becomes a necessity, while others, like Paige, choose to embrace the changes and find ways to adapt.
Paige Amelia: Embracing Gigantomastia Despite Daily Challenges

For Paige Amelia, life with gigantomastia has been an unexpected journey. A mother of one from Melbourne, Australia, she first noticed her breasts growing at an unusual rate when she was 25 years old. Since then, they haven’t stopped expanding.
Her measurements over time reflect the rapid progression of her condition:
- January 2022 – 100 cm
- September 2022 – 114 cm
- May 2023 – 139 cm
- Present (2025) – 143 cm and still growing
Because of this constant growth, Paige finds herself spending thousands of dollars annually on new clothing and custom-made bras, as standard sizes simply don’t fit.
Spending a Fortune on Bras: The Hidden Costs of Gigantomastia

For most women, shopping for bras involves a quick trip to a department store. But for Paige Amelia, it’s a completely different reality.
Since off-the-rack bras don’t accommodate her size, she must have them custom-made—a costly requirement that quickly adds up.
- Each custom bra costs her AU$280 (£140)
- Because of continuous growth, she needs frequent replacements
- Stretchy tops help, but she’s constantly buying new clothes

“The growth is unpredictable,” Paige shared. “Sometimes it slows down, then suddenly they grow a lot in a month. I try to buy stretchy tops to make room, but replacing clothes all the time costs a fortune.”
Despite the financial burden, she has learned to accept the challenges that come with her condition.
The Emotional and Social Struggles of Gigantomastia
Beyond the physical challenges, Paige also faces social pressures and unwanted attention due to her condition.
With up to 40 messages a day from strangers—ranging from flirty advances to online harassment—she often finds it difficult to go out in public without feeling scrutinized.
“I avoid wearing tight clothing in public because I get so many stares—especially from other women,” she said. “I feel like I have to constantly adjust what I wear just to avoid attention.”

Unfortunately, body shaming and misconceptions about gigantomastia only make things harder. Many people don’t understand that this condition is medical, not a choice.
Raising Awareness and Helping Others
Despite the challenges and judgment, Paige remains committed to raising awareness about gigantomastia. She hopes that by sharing her journey, more people will understand the condition, and those living with it will feel less isolated.
She’s not alone. Many women with gigantomastia find themselves struggling in silence, unsure of where to seek help. Some, like Paige, choose to embrace their condition, while others opt for breast reduction surgery, which can be life-changing for those experiencing severe pain.

One such case is a young woman who, after years of struggling, finally underwent surgery when she could no longer wear a bra. The procedure provided her immediate relief, giving her a fresh start both physically and emotionally.
Looking to the Future
For now, Paige continues her journey, embracing the changes while finding ways to adapt. Although gigantomastia presents significant hurdles, she hopes her story will encourage more people to be compassionate toward those living with medical conditions that aren’t widely understood.
“At the end of the day, this is my reality, and I’ve learned to live with it. But I also want others to know they’re not alone.”
Whether through awareness, support, or medical intervention, Paige’s story sheds light on the realities of gigantomastia, proving that strength, resilience, and self-acceptance can overcome even the toughest challenges.
