How reliable is boob and bust?

[AnchorDownDeepBreath]

I've done it this morning because my current bras aren't working at all - I'm putting my nipples back in every five seconds! They are 32DDs from a few years ago; but quite padded.

B&B says I need a 34FF. I don't feel like they can be anywhere near that big; and I can't find any nice bras in that size - I do need a lot of side support to get them comfortably in the middle; hence settling for quite padded bras that do the trick.

What is your dress size? Do you have a particularly wide back?

10ish - sometimes 12 at the moment but I'm working on it!

I don't think I'm particularly wide but I do have strong ribs; they've been broken a few times. My underbust measurement with two fingers seems to be about 34.5 inches.

Thanks for replying!

A Mumsnetter recommended BoB to me recently (can't remember your username, but thank you, whoever you are).

I am a 12-14 on top, and my underbust measurement is 32. When I was a lighter 10-12, it was 30. So it might be worth a remeasure.

Have you asked for a BoB admin to help? They are very helpful and know their stuff - they may be able to recommend some styles or brands that would suit you better.

Yeah, 34 back sounds too big. I was a 28-30 as an 8-10 and am 34 now at 33 weeks PG (and pretty much a size 16).

My underbust measurement with two fingers seems to be about 34.5 inches.

How much without the fingers?

Then measure around your boobs while bending forward.

Your band size should be more or less the same as your underbreast measure.
And the cup size should be the difference in inches between the two, starting at A, B, C, D, DD and etc depending on the country scale.
