Bra straps constantly slipping down grr!

[Brookville]

Please tell me, is the entire fit wrong on me or the quality of bra poor?
It feels snug on the back and boobs fill the cups ok but within 10 mins the straps slide down on both sides.
It's a John Lewis own brand, cost nearly £30 and has only been hand washed a few times.

I have bought a 32dd bra from M&S today, usually wear 30E, had cotton in it.

[StatisticallyChallenged]

OP I'd suggest trying a 30DD (since a 32d works cup wise). The cup measurement is more approximate so needing 1 less than you measure is not unusual

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Yes furball I did. Thank you I will try that

[Furball]

Phew statiscallychallenged thank god you're here, I've been doing my best to fill in, hopefully you can take over now

[Furball]

curvy don't forget to scoop

i've copied and pasted - take your right hand, put it round inside the left cup, all the way round under your armpit, and scoop all the soft tissue and flesh in to the cup. You might not know it, but all that soft tissue under your armpit is breast, and it needs to be in the cup. Now, repeat on the other side.

Curvy, a 36K is designed for someone measuring roughly 36 under, 51" over. Your measurements suggest more like a 36E/F!

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Thank you so much. I didn't bend down the first time I did my boobs but have, just now and its almost 45 inches! So I think that makes me a 36F or FF?

[StatisticallyChallenged]

36FF/G as a start point

[Furball]

I thought that must of been the case curvy as you said about GG and H etc and then when you posted the measurements it didn't add up

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Thanks again. Will try and report back later

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

Ahh yes Furball, its all new to me. Can't wait to get a good bra

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

So a HUGE Thank you to statistically challenged and furball!

I am now a very proud owner of bras that actually fit oh and furball the scooping is a bloody revolution!

Thanks again.

Revelation

quick question....

When you measure bent over, do you measure tight an squish 'em at all or do you take the measurement from where they hang

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

No don't squish them

[2LittleFishes]

thank you

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

You're welcome. Make sure you measure at their fullest point though ok

[StatisticallyChallenged]

Glad you got sorted!

[Furball]

Thanks curvy - statiscallychallenged taught me everything I know

But now you know the secret of the bra sizing........don't forget to help spread the word

[CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces]

I will do. I am going to sort out my mum and sisters now.
When I first looked on the better bra site I didn't read it all properly and rushed it so got confused but thank goodness you's were there to help!

And now my boobs are in the right place I can go clothes shopping and not dread when I put dresses on, as before I always looked a bit rubbish.

I know I've said it loads but thank you again!

Furball and StatisticallyChallenged you both deserve medals
