tryingtoaccept,  At that size your comfort level without wearing a bra most of the time has to be just fine.  A little bit of nipple showing isn't uncommon.  Do what makes you and your wife comfortable.  In the end that's what we are all trying to do.  Be comfortable.

I'm pretty much in the same boat now.
  It's now not hard for my breasts be noticed. But yet still small enough to be manageable depending on how I dress. Going out in public areas without a shirt sadly is over for me! At this point in time. My breast growth has stabilized at a full B cup. I'm not very interested in surgery at this point. So If I continue to go into more growth spurts I'm willing to accept the fact I will probably will need to start wearing a bra on a daily basis. Just will take me some tine to conform to is all.

Conforming can be tough. It took me awhile to realize a bra was needed most days to all days if I wanted to be comfortable. Once I reached a full C the upper outer areas of my breasts would just be sore from tugging and gravity of the lower breasts. And once under bust developed more the movement became more annoying than not and projection more visible than not. Pullovers have been the go to for comfort support and concealing allowing me to maintain confidence and support and compression without smashing to not worry much about public settings.

I was on the bus once and looked over to see a well tanned gentleman with very large breasts enjoying a beer on his porch shirtless. Apparently not a care in the world. Not exactly the 'GI Joe' figure that society likes to portray.  

Comfort levels are based off our own perception of ourselves related to societal norms.  If we disregard the societal norms,  we have ever increasing comfort zones.

The fact that it's winter time now around here really helps with conditioning my self with accepting. I can wear this little bralette you see me in here and throw on a top shirt and or a coat when I go out in public and nobody is the wiser. I'll just have see how I'll feel when warm weather comes around. I'm just not sure yet. This bralette is sure much more comfortable than a smashing compression top. And better for my breast tissue health too I'm sure.

I’ll wear a bralette most days to work without having a problem. Winter lets me wear my underwired bras more often.
Tired of being uncomfortable so other people are comfortable.

We can't really hide our bumps, particularly in the summer. But I do want to hide obvious signs of a bra. To that end I have been comfortable in a pattern button down shirt where I do not even think about it when out in public. Even in summer with a light weight pattern short sleeve I feel completely confident. I have never understood those who try to wear a t-shirt. Even if it is not overly tight or semi see through, the bra strap pattern is gong to show through at times as one moves about. Just observe any woman. 

It is only the hug or pat on the back that I feel is more of a give away for me. When I will be in close contact with family or friends I put on a pull over racer back that I feel will be least obvious to touch.
If the bra fits, wear it.

Blad,

Summers are tough, especially when it's the best time to get in walks.  Spaghetti strap jog bra works best for me.  I match with a muscle shirt and looks like pecks with small biceps.  

We have a lot of family for the holidays, and I rely on the same concealment bra.  There are lot's of hugs, layers work.  Most comment on how good I am looking.  Tempted to say that my waist moved up.  My wife would have crushed me with a cast iron skillet.

Racer backs are great when I am on my e-bike.  No bounce and minimal showing under my gear.  I am into my non-wired bra season, as I let them get comfortable.  Still getting 3 miles every day.

I agree with you, as long as mine stay manageable I will keep going as I have been.   I am very lucky that my wife has said no to any possibility of surgery.  She said she is fine with mine and to stop over thinking it.

Mine have started to grow again last summer with an added medicine so I have gone out with pull over bras on which stops the bounce and annoyed nipples.

It took me about 2 years to reach I don't care territory. For me it can still be an insecure feeling in some scenarios. But normalizing the reality of needing a bra has been key in me being ok with it whether it's seen or not. Once I hit a C cup a couple months ago wearing a bra feels more mandatory than selective. I don't promote the fact I'm wearing one and typically lean toward wearing a pullover bra for comfort and light compression. Or a wire free non padded t shirt bra for discretion and support. 

I thought they were stalled at a B cup but between weight, tug, movement and such of things now, a bra takes priority over social stigma. Comfort of body over comfort of another's opinon. Still areas I can't wear a bra, but for those days I have tank tops with shelf bras in them that give adequate support when traditional support is not available.

Dude.  It seems you have a good handle on dealing with your breasts and how to work with them.
 I'm becoming a little more less concerned about mine. We'll see when warmer weather gets here. If I remain a B cup it may not be all that big of a deal?
 I finally got in to an endocrinologist the other day. Had some tests ran of course. Waiting to see what's next? Hopefully I'll have some answers as to and what I'm dealing with? Hopefully before I reach a C cup as you have now. I think I can live with my B's.
 Wish me luck!

Thanks. I have my good and bad days. I put that more on hormones than anything else. Hypogonadism has taken its toll and I adjust as I can as things go as they may. After a few therapies to adjust and mitigate and failing I just gave up and the alternative was to accept. Even if I got surgery it would be wasteful as they are still growing. 

A B cup isn’t that big of a deal. A lot of how breasts look aren’t entirely on the breasts. Rib cage, set of breasts and roots of them etc play a great role in how perceptive they are. They are on us so we see them as these unavoidable mounds that others must see. But reality is most don’t and if they do they clock it as a soft chest or medical. So it’s whatever. Understanding that it’s not a big deal to others made it a lot easier to accept how little of a deal it should be for me. 

But as I began spilling out of my t shirt bras b cups it was a tough adjustment. I was fine as a b cup. But a c cup is just one away from a D and that’s a reality I’d prefer not to deal with lol. 

I hope your Dr finds the reason and treatment to keep your peace. Watching and feeling your breasts growing more beyond a comfort level can be tough but it’s why we’re all here.
