I must have this bra measurement thing wrong?

[pingulingo]

Must admit, I have paid a lot if attention to bra threads. So I may have this wrong. But measure tightly under boobs, then lean forward and take fullest measurement around boobs. Because that gives me 38, 46.

Surely I am doing this wrong? If not I'll give you all a laugh with what I'm currently wearing as a bra size!

Well actually 37, 46 - but I round up to a 38?

Are you in... 44B???

36G or 36GG or maybe 38F

What are you wearing now? I'm pg at the moment but after bf has calmed down I can't wait to see what my new bra size is.

I'm in a 40c - not an underwire tho, I have a couple of d/dd in those - but they were last worn before I had baby.

Am chuffing amazed and am off to go try on bras - although in my head I still can't see how there won't be oodles if space in a gg - am looking forward to being astounded.

Shall report back later!

Enjoy your bra shopping and hope you find something amazing!

Yes I'd say try 36GG, 36H, 38G and 38GG.

The volume on a 36GG is roughly the same as the volume on a 40FF. You must be spilling out of the cups of your 40Cs?

I don't have 4 boobs in my current bra, but they are quite full cup bras, I did think my boobs were looking less pert - ok hoping they are being strapped down by the too small cup tho.

I was aware my old underwire (half cup?) bras were def too small and there was a risk of spillage. Which is why I got the tape measure out this morning

I went out to shops but thanks to toddler meltdown I'm back early. So will go for an online shop this evening

Full cups, especially soft cups, can hide a multitude of bra sins. You don't get the obvious spillage in the same way sometimes - just a bra that becomes increasingly useless!
