For those who aren't bra-size-savvy, think of it this way (and I'm really dumbing it down here). The number is the number of inches around the torso under the breasts. It is known as "band size" and is usually rounded up to the nearest even number. The band should fit comfortably around the torso on the hook(s) closest to the end. As the bra gets older, it will stretch a bit and the second and third rows of hooks will help tighten. The band shouldn't pinch or sag.

The letter or "cup" is the tricky thing. Everyone knows how to use a tape measure for the band, but cups are wacky. They go A-DD and then messy from there. You have your DDD (or E or F), DDDD (or E or F or G), E (or F or G), EE (or F or G)..... It all depends on the manufacturer. Anything after DD is a crap shoot and you can't reliably say what size is correct unless you have a proper fitting and even then will need to know the right sizes in other brands.

For cups, testing with an underwire bra is best. The underwire should rest under the breasts against the crease where the breasts meet the chest. The underwire should lay flat against the ribs and fully surround the lower half of the breast. It should not poke or stab. The part that connects both cups in the middle, what I call the breast plate for lack of a better term, should lay flat against the sternum. The breasts should not fall out, or strain against the cups. The cups should not have a significant amount of space while the breasts are in them.

Then comes the straps and where the band lays. The straps should not slide or dig. This means the bra is either too big or too small. Tightening the straps is acceptable but if the bra is not the proper size, the straps will dig. Or slide. The band of the bra should lay on the tips of the bottom of the shoulder blades, not the middle. One should be able to comfortable reach back to undo the hooks. If the bra rides up, the bra does not fit properly and the support system becomes void.


As you can see, figuring out the proper size is a royal pain and most women do it wrong. Most women wear out their bras until they break instead of buying new ones every three to six months. The bigger the breasts, the quicker the bras will wear down. This is especially true if the same bra is worn every day (like with me because my pretty red one broke). Not hand washing bras breaks them down faster. In general, a woman should replace bras every three to six months (going longer if you have 50 of them or are a small size). A woman needs at least four bras: A comfortable bra that could be worn daily, a sports bra, a bra that can be worn with low-cut tops, and a fancy/special occasion bra. And don't get me started on sports bras. That's a whole other ball game.

So, guys... women in general have to be geniuses when it comes to figuring out bras. Those who do it properly are goddesses basically. All you have to do is figure out how to take them off (with your teeth).

That made my night right there!

For those who aren't bra-size-savvy..........

It is just not working for me. I think we need a couple dozen piccies of you demonstrating all these facts and figures.

Why do women worry so much about perky pert titties that stick out like zeppelins?? I don't cry into my beer because my dick hangs down, so why worry that your nipples are nearly level with your navel?

King, maybe I'll make a Youtube video for you. Lol

my only question coming to mind right now is, if you dont mind me asking, roughly what was the cost for this?

I believe it was around $5,000 USD, but that's a really good deal. Insurance didn't cover it.

I wouldn't call them small though. Maybe they are just right for you and whomever you share them with ;)

They feel small, but some people say they still look pretty big. I don't care; I feel so happy. I'm as small as I was when I was 12 or 13, which is awesome. And yes, I will need to get a boyfriend when I'm in college this fall.

It is because my ribcage is a 32.

This shows it beautifully. Imagine a 30F next to a 42F. So much bigger.

The volume of the cup gets bigger as the ribcage number is bigger.

32G=34F=36DD=38D.... so you might know someone with 36DD's that look similar, but then their bodies are broader.

I was having rashes under my tits from sweating, and they'd hang over my arm and my arm would fall asleep when I'd be on my side.

Yeah, I was fine with how I looked and would have been fine with just a lift if it wasn't for the back problems and stuff.

I'm still a C or D cup, even after 3/4 of a pound being removed from each tit, so I definitely had big boobs, despite how they looked.

LoL im back again checking up
my buddies at work like your boobies too!

My GF has 30H's, she is 5'4 - I actually wish she would get a reduction. It really pisses me off that every where we go, no man looks her in the eyes while they speak with her. Every time we go to a bar, the bartender asks her breasts what she wants to drink.

Wow, I am glad you got it done if it makes you feel better. Looks like an all around painful procedure to have done.

Hope too see more progress soon ;)
