'They disgust me': The fight for smaller breasts
Charlotte Howard says "I'm basically carrying half a stone off my neck and shoulders"
These are just some of the reasons why Charlotte Howard, 52, from West Lavington, says she is "disgusted" by her own breasts.
Once measuring at a 32B, they soon grew to a 40GG when she started the menopause.
"I find them intolerable. I'm basically carrying half a stone off my neck and shoulders. I can't look at myself without clothes on," she says.

Howard says her breasts are now so large, she has to use medicated talc under them to prevent rashes, also washing them "two or three times a day" because they smell.
Like many others, Howard, who works as a horticulturist, says because of her breasts she also finds exercise painful and uncomfortable, making it difficult to stay active.
When she is out and about in public, she says she is regularly harassed because of them.
"I get fat-shamed in the street, people shout stupid jokes, lewd comments about them," she describes.
