i've just been reading answers to the question?

Question

about 32c 34c and 36c bar size and which is bigger.

I am now confused

I always thought that the number was the measurement of the body just underneath the bust

the cup was based on the difference between the above measurement and the measurement of the bust at its fullest.

so if some one is 32 around the back

their bust is at least 35 inches

and if some one is 36 around the back then their bust is at least 39 inches.

does that mean the actual breast is bigger or what?

im confused!

Answer 1

To get you bust size you need to
Keep your bra on and measure in inches around your ribcage directly under your bust.
if it's an even number add four inches
if it's odd add five inches
This gives you the back size
WHEN MEASURING ALWAYS ROUND DOWN
Then to find the cup size measure around the fullest part of your bust. the full bust less the back measure measurement = cup size.
WHEN MEASURING ALWAYS ROUND UP.

The size of your back will change your cup size. i have big boobs but a tiny back so it's a nightmare getting bras. peolpe think if you hae big boobs you have a big back.

Answer 2

The two parts of a bra are independant-the band and the cup. The band measures the ribcage. The cup measures the amount of breast tissue. So to answer your question, all would have the same size breasts, just on different sized rib cages. So a 32C would appear much bigger than a 36C, but the actual breasts are the same size. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Measure under your arms, high on your back, around the top of your chest. If this measurement is an even number, then this is your band size. If this measurement is an odd number, then add 1" to determine your band size. Record that number, you'll need it in a minute


While wearing your favorite supportive, comfortable bra, measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Record that number, you’ll need it in a sec.


Subtract your band measurement from your cup measurement; each inch represents a cup size. For example: if your band measurement is 34" and your cup measurement is 36", then the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you'd wear a B-cup.

1-inch difference A Cup
2-inch difference B Cup
3-inch difference C Cup
4-inch difference D Cup
5-inch difference DD Cup
6-inch difference DDD Cup
7-inch difference DDDD Cup
8-inch difference FF Cup
9-inch difference G Cup
10-inch difference H Cup
11-inch difference I Cup
12-inch difference J Cup



Always round down

Answer 4

First you need to measure around your body right under your underarms above your bust This # becomes your band #. Then you mesure around your body at the fullest part of your bust. This # becomes your cup #.
While wearing your favorite supportive, comfortable bra, measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Record that number Subtract your band measurement from your cup measurement; each inch represents a cup size. For example: if your band measurement is 34" and your cup measurement is 36", then the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you'd wear a B-cup.

1-inch difference A Cup
2-inch difference B Cup
3-inch difference C Cup
4-inch difference D Cup
5-inch difference DD Cup
6-inch difference DDD Cup
7-inch difference DDDD Cup
8-inch difference FF Cup
9-inch difference G Cup
10-inch difference H Cup
11-inch difference I Cup
12-inch difference J Cup

Answer 5

You're right, but if the measurement round the back i.e. the number is bigger then the cup size could be the same on someone smaller but the bust would be smaller. So a 34D would be bigger than a 36D and anyway, bra sizes are lies, it all depends on where you buy the bra as to what your measurement is anyway, I vary from a 36C-36DD so *shrug* I think hands area better measurement :oP Xx~xX

Answer 6

No the measurement taken under the boobs is an indication of the band size so a 32" measurement may give a band size of 35" depending on the second measurement which is taken around the boobs which will give an indication of the cup size as well.

Research has its benefits !!

Answer 7

No I think that if you are a 32 round the back then you are an "a" cup if the difference is from round the back and fullest part of the bust less than 2" a "b" cup if less than 3" etc;

Answer 8

No, it means that their body is bigger, they could wear the same cup size but different measurements. The cup sizes do get larger in proportion to the measurements though. It depends on the person.

Answer 9

Answer 10

The number has nothing to do with the size, that is what the letter is for. The number stands for an equivalent of a Belt but a bit higher.
