What bra size should I try?

[PainInTheBum]

I know my bra size is wrong and my poor boobs are suffering. I've just measured myself and got 34 under bust and 43 over (leaning forward like a good girl).

What sizes should I try?

Many thanks!

34g and thereabouts

Bloody hell not the 38b M&S tried to squoosh me in then?

Is there a good picture guide for what to look for when trying on so I can tweak the fit if needs be?

Brastop have a good fitting guide here. Great place to get bras too, they are so helpful.

Went and got fitted by a lovely lady in John Lewis who fitted me with a 36F! I never knew that I had mahoosive bazongas, I'm thrilled! she thinks I'm between 34G and 36F so your advice was spot on crunchy thank you.

I can't get over how comfy my new bra is, I kept the new one on and just took the tag to the checkout.

Which bras did you go for? With those measurements I suspect you will find a 34 better in most brands-it's probably your best starting point when trying others. John Lewis are better than average with fitting but sometimes go a bit loose on the band. Bet this still feels like heaven compared to the marks ones!

I've some very comfy playtexbras in 36F, the band on the 34 was slightly tight but she said to try both when buying and that I may need to tweak the size roughly.

I knew the Marks measurement wasn't right and the online calculators gave me stupid sizes. My breasts were getting sore due to being constricted so badly. I ended up wearing bigger bras with no support or squishing them. My poor boobs are finally free. They look so much better too!

I can already feel that the pressure is off my back. John Lewis woman was fab, she measured my back only and had a look at my cups and brought back several to try. She was when I told her the size M&S was saying, I'm quite tall though so they're not disproportional which is why I never thought my cup could be so big either.

38B, honestly.. and the "fitter" claimed that this bra was a good fit on you??

She was useless and completely disinterested hazel she measured me over t shirt gave me the size and wandered off. I ended up getting a bigger cup but it wasn't big enough. I got really worried recently as my boobs and back have been so sore, it was suggested I check my bra fits properly first and I'm so glad I did! I think they've been painful due to squashing and lack of support.

My sister is she has measured and remeasured and is still an A .
