I think I did something wrong while measuring myself. I measured, and I came out as a 28D. (I think.) My breatsts aren't really that big though.This is a formula that may be helful to those of you who are trying to find the right cup bra size. I used to work at Victoria's Secret selling Italian bras, and I used this quite accurate formula:
*Take a flexible tape measurer(with inch increments), and wrap it around your ribcage right under your breasts. Make it snug, not loose, but not uncomfortably tight. See where the beginning of the tape meets the rest of the measuring tape. Average ribcage sizes are between 28-40. If it's something like 31 1/2...consider it 32. You can always adjust your bra tighter if need be.
*This is your Band Size.
*Take the tape again, and wrap it around your back and across the fullest part of your boobs. Make sure the section that is behind your back isn't drooping down. Again, pull it snugly to your body,but not so much that it feels tight at all. See where the beginning of the tape meets the rest of the measuring tape. It should come out to be nearly the same, or a higher number than your Band Size measurement. This is your Cup Number.
*If your Cup Number is up to or around 1 inch bigger than your Band Size, you are probably a AA or A Cup.
*If your Cup Number is about 2 inches bigger than your Band Size, you are an A or small B Cup.
*If your Cup Number is about 3 inches bigger than your Band Size, you are likely a full B or small C Cup. Approximately every inch that increases, your Cup Size increases.
**Examples**
**So, if your Band Size is 28, and your Cup Number is 28 1/2 or 29, you should try on a 28AA or 28A size bra.
**If your Band Size is 30, and your Cup Number is about 32, you should try on a 30A or 30 Nearly B size bra.
**If your Band Size is 36, and your Cup Number is 37, you should try a 36A
Also, no two girls' breasts are alike. Some are fuller for their measurement size, some are placed farther apart, some are higher, some are lower...this all affects how bras will fit you. No matter how you are shaped, you are normal! This just means that you should try on a few different bra styles of the same size, or even a bra of a different but similar size to what you are measured to be.
When you wear a bra, you should not have any gaps between your boobs and the top of your bra cups. This means your bra cups are too big, or your straps are adjusted too loosely. Also, your boobs should not spill out the sides, or pop out of the top of your cups. This means your Band Size is correct, but that your cups are too small. If this happens when you are wearing a 32A, try a 32B. 32B is my size, and while it can be difficult to find, I love it because it has large enough cups, but a small Band Size.
I hope you find this helpful in determining the right bra for you!
haha theres a guy in my class who has bigger man boobs then my friend who is the 'bustiest' girl in school whoes 12 like me and shes a size 16 with a cup size DCan Men wear bra's? Thats the question! XD
I doubt it. They have sizes from A-DD.Victoria's secret? With my size, that is impossible. lol.
*slightly cracks up*Do you guys wear bras yet? I'm just curious to see if my age group do or not. Oh, and if you're wondering about me, no- I wear crop tops.
Lol!EDIT - I don't like push-up bras. I kinda think they're s-l-u-t-t-y. And, I've worn training bras before, but haven't worn one since I was about 10 and my tities got bigger.
Lol. It's actually a padded bra. XPMe and mimitchis_rock have the same size.
And I never heard of a push-up bra. I guess it's just like a regular bra, but it pushes 'em up?
-Matchy
I personally hate padded bras x.x I need to find one before my birthday though. Gah. I've been hunting for them, and none of 'em fit. It's so annoying.Lol. It's actually a padded bra. XP
So it sticks out more when you put a shirt on over it! XP
It is hard at times, but if you ever ebay, PM me and I know of some good sellers that seem to have good fitting bras. I recommended them to a friend of mine whom I mentioned in the period topic, and she says they fit perfectly! she got like 6 different colours for like 20 bucks plus shipping. Gotta love a good deal.I personally hate padded bras x.x I need to find one before my birthday though. Gah. I've been hunting for them, and none of 'em fit. It's so annoying.

Lol, well i guess padded bras are better for me since I'm not that much of a busty girl. X.x lolI'd want to be able to try them though.
Whenever I try a padded bra, they either make my boobs look like cones, give me creepy amounts of cleavage, or stick out into my armpits x.x'
