I'm confused about bra sizes?

Question

OK. I have been wearing a 36C for years, but I decided to get measured and I was a 34B. The problem with that was that I was spilling out of the B cups. It was like a huge bump and my boobs would be popping out. So, I decided to measure myself and use an online bra size calculator, and it said 36A? I measured my rib and it was 32" and my bust was 37". I think that my band size would probably be a 34 since 36 bands ride up my back... but an A? I'm not too sure about an A cup since it looks like I have large boobs.

The 36Cs are too big.

Answer 1

Every style/brand of bra is different. You just have to try them on and see which is the best fit for you.

Answer 6

whatever fits you. You dont want them spilling out, because it looks trashy. Just wear the 36C if it makes you comfortable and look normal.

If a 34 band size is most comfortable, then go for a 34C. Give that a go.

Just go and try on several different sizes, styles and brands of bras and see what fits the best.
