“My Breasts Were Called Inappropriate,” A Brave Mother Refused to Change Her Body to Please Critics

Defying social expectations, Honey Positano from Melbourne, Australia, confidently embraces her 38JJ figure. She has refused to give in to pressure or undergo breast reduction surgery simply to satisfy strangers. Her story serves as a reminder that other people’s opinions never define our value.

Meet a mother who refuses to bend to society’s expectations.

Honey Positano has previously spoken about the hurtful comments she’s faced — remarks that once made her feel insecure about her breasts. Struggling with body image since the age of 12, she has since transformed her experience into empowerment, using Instagram to share body-positive content and support other women facing similar challenges.

Strangers often assume she puts her body on “display” on purpose.

But this is far from the truth. Despite strangers commenting that she deliberately flaunts them, she explains that her chest is too large to hide away. She said, “People have always had a way of making me feel that I am putting my breasts on display, regardless of what I’m wearing.”

“In my early 20s I was teased about them being ’saggy’, but the reality is that my breasts weigh over 5 kg, so gravity takes away any chance they have of being perky.”

The mother of two explained that her large chest runs in the family, with many women sharing a similar figure. While she’s grown more confident over the years, it wasn’t always easy. Honey has also learned to accept the natural reality that her breasts are heavy and affected by gravity when she goes without a bra.

She once considered breast reduction surgery but ultimately decided against it.

Honey has openly shared that she once thought about breast reduction surgery. “I went through a phase where I thought it would be easier just to have them reduced. I know multiple women with breasts smaller and larger than mine that had reductions. The majority of them feel great about having a ‘normal’ bust size, but most of the women on the Italian side of my family have the same bust as I do,” she said.

In the end, she questioned whether the high cost and permanent scarring would be worth it. Honey ultimately decided she couldn’t put herself through the pain of surgery simply to meet other people’s expectations.

When she was younger, she was also teased by her teachers.

She said, “I was ridiculed by teachers for wearing the standard school uniform top as it looked ’inappropriate’. When I was younger, I went through stages of covering up as much as possible to then rebelling and dressing as brazen as I could, without being obscene.”

“Now that I’m in my thirties, I just wear what I like, and if it makes people uncomfortable then that says more about the issues they have with their own bodies than it does about mine.”
