Before you supersize your set with stealth stuffing, read these tit-illating tales from women whose handiwork blew up in their faces-in some cases, literally.

In the sometimes unrelenting quest for a head-turning chest, women have taped, strapped, hoisted, tied, pumped, padded, and more. But fighting the laws of nature by stacking your rack can occasionally lead to disaster. Cosmo collected the most hilarious stories of falsie faux pas ever. You won't believe the measures these women took to crank up their cup size only to have their efforts backfire in excruciatingly embarrassing ways.

breast in show

"After a nasty breakup, some friends took me out to drown my sorrows. I ended up getting blitzed and not remembering most of the evening. Another friend decided I needed more cheering up, so she brought me to the same bar where I'd had my pity party the week before. The bartender asked if I'd been in last week, and I admitted I'd been there. Then he told me I'd left something behind. That's when he flashed open a bar towel and revealed a silicone cutlet that I'd used to pad my bra. It turns out that in my drunken state, I'd announced I wasn't going to pretend to be perfect for any man, whipped out my fake boob, and slammed it on the bar for all to see. Apparently, I'd even asked guys if they'd rather date my cutlet or me. I'll never set foot in that bar again." -Ellen, 28

wet puppies

"I wore one of those water bras and a low-cut shirt to introduce myself to my cute neighbor. As we were talking, I noticed his adorable Chihuahua and scooped him up in my arms. Right at that moment, a car alarm started squealing, and the jumpy little dog freaked out. He dug his supersharp claws into my shirt and popped my bra. Before I knew it, my top was completely soaked. Luckily, my neighbor thought his puppy had peed on me, so I got sympathy out of the deal." -LaTosha, 25
