Ive measured myself and I'm 37"underneath .but my full measurement is 43. What cup size of bra will I need? (I'm a bit embarrassed to go into a shop and get sized up) .

Go get professionally sized, as 80% of us are in the wrong size bra. Take their measurement as a guideline, as bras do not have standards of measurement, you could be a 34B in one bra and a 34C in another bra.
Go to Nordstroms, JCPenney or Sears. Do NOT go to victoria secret, as they size incorrectly (I know too many women that complain of the measurements they got there).
Sounds like you would be a 34A or 34AA.
Around chest under breasts, then add four to an even number or five to an odd number to get the band size.
Then, measure around breasts. Take that number from the band size and you'll have the cup size:
1" is an A
2" is a B
3" is a C
etc etc.
AND So if its under an inch (like yours) you should try an AA or AAA
I hope this helps!

37, add five since it is an odd number, making it 42. That is your band size.
The around the breast measurement of 43 minus your band size is 1.
Difference of 1" = A
2" = B
3" = C
etc...
SO, I would go for 42A. BUT, only use that as a guideline since bras do not have standards of measurement to follow. So you could be a 42A in one bra but a 42B in another bra.
or get professionally sized at Nordstroms JCPenney or Sears (NOT Victoria secret, they are horrible at sizing).

look, heres what you do. Go to victoria secret. they'll measure you and tell you what u need. they'll make sure a women does it for you in a nice private room. And you'll also get some free undies and bras. So yeah, do that. I had the same problem too but yeah i went there and i thought i was an A but turns out im a C.
