I'm a 34 underneath, 47 round the nips, so what should I be wearing?

Ive lost 6stone this year and now have no idea.

Start with a 34J

talkingnonsense · 21/07/2013 08:18

And congrats on the eight loss!

Megsdaughter · 21/07/2013 08:45

Thank you, I have been wearing a 38e, so will try a 34J :)

Wowsers - if you scoop do you have pretty serious quad boob?

shoeprincess2 · 21/07/2013 10:29

I have quadraboobage!! Just been advised to go for 28FF, instead of my 32E. Well done megs on the impressive weight loss.

Megsdaughter · 21/07/2013 16:16

Nope, I seem to fit ok into a 38e to be honest

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 17:22

That's very odd! I'd start with the 34J anyway, scoop, and work your way down through the cup sizes. I suspect you have side boob issues - it's often the cause of this sort of thing. SO when you lean forward it gets captured but in the 38e the cup just isn't wide enough

Megsdaughter · 21/07/2013 18:59

Nope, cup comes right up under my arm no spillage anywhere. I have quite a short torso and always find that bras sit right under my armpit, regardless what size I am

Can I hijack please Megs? Congratulations on the weight loss!

30 and 37 - what size should I go for?

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 20:02

start with a 30F

LondonLancashireRose · 21/07/2013 20:12

Thank you!

WheresMeJumperOhNo · 21/07/2013 20:15

Let us know how you get on with the 34, Megs - I'm interested as I've also been wearing a 38E!

I measured after reading these threads and I'm coming out as 35 under and 44 (when I bend over) along the widest bit. Tried on a 36E I had bought accidentally and did all the scooping (!) and ended up with about 12 boobs and an underband I could pull 3 inches or so away from my ribs. I need help! Please save my boobs

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 20:23

wheres I think you will need a 34, probably somewhere around a G/GG cup. That would tie with what you have said too

rindercella · 21/07/2013 20:30

Hello, inspired by your threads I just measured myself. I usually wear a 38DD. I measured 35 under the bust and 46 round the boobs. So I suspect I am similar to Megs Blush

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 20:36

Pretty close rindercella - try a 34H, 34HH, 36GG, 36H and 36GG. The 34s are more likely

WheresMeJumperOhNo · 21/07/2013 20:46

Thank you! I will order a few to try. Cant wait to see a reduction in side, back and armpit boob Blush

rindercella · 21/07/2013 20:51

Thank you so much Stat! I will get bra shopping Grin

MyBoysAreFab · 21/07/2013 20:52

Can I hijack too? Have just measured and am 30 and 39. Debenhams have a sale on and was going to go on and order some new underwear after coming on here! Thanks.

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 21:10

myboys start with a 30G, watch out for the gorgeous bras at debenhams as they tend to be stingy in the back

ShoeJunkie · 21/07/2013 21:17

Can I also hijack?!
Just measured 34 under my boobs and and 42 round, so that makes me 34 FF?? If so, slightly different from the 36C I've been wearing all these years!
Thank you so much bra ladies Flowers

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 21:18

Yup, start at 34ff

ShoeJunkie · 21/07/2013 21:19

Thank you! Very excited about hitting the shops tomorrow!

ThePigOfHappiness · 21/07/2013 21:23

Sorry for hijack, I'm 34 on ribs, 39 round nips bending over.
I've been wearing a 38 b/c for years now, what should I try? Tia

MyBoysAreFab · 21/07/2013 21:28

Wow, thanks very much, am currently wearing a 36F Shock

StatisticallyChallenged · 21/07/2013 21:35

myboys how are the cups on that 36F? Volume wise it's equivalent to a 30GG

thepigofhappiness - start at 34DD
