Our Story

The Shitty Titty Committee was unofficially born in 2023—founded by women with fewer nipples and more surgical scars than your average group chat.

It all started when Carol, who’d been through breast cancer five years earlier, came across Kate’s story not long after Kate’s own diagnosis. A few mutual friends had shared a post about Kate, and Carol reached out via Facebook. From the first few messages, it was clear they spoke the same language: dark humour, fierce honesty, and absolutely no time for pity.

Their first meeting happened at a photoshoot for the Boobie Ball—an event Carol and Heather Hunt had been organising to celebrate Carol 5 Year cancerversary (anniversary of being diagnosed) to celebrate the milestone.  At the Ball, Kate had just survived a 13-hour surgery and showed up proudly, 2 new boobs and a newly sewn up tummy but still standing, to celebrate what she called “not dying.” That set the tone.

A group chat was born shortly after, with another Busselton mum who’d connected with Kate during treatment—and things escalated hilariously from there. More women joined. Some had one breast, some had none. Some had lopsided boobs, reconstructed boobs, tattooed nipples, or no nipples at all. All had something in common: they'd been through the wringer and weren’t afraid to talk about it—loudly, lovingly, and often with wine or coffee.

The name “Shitty Titty Committee” came from Kate—a brutally accurate and brilliantly inappropriate way of summing up what felt like the worst club with the best damn people.

We may not have matching boobs (or any at all), but what we do have is each other—and that’s everything. Because no one should have to go through this shit alone, and sometimes the best kind of comfort comes from people who truly, hilariously, and unapologetically get it!
