Bra size help.

Just measure under my bust (31inch) and my bust size (35inch) and put it into a calculator which says 36 AA. I have been wearing a 32C which is an awful fit and has boobage falling out around my armpits. A smaller cup size seems counter intuitive. Does this sound about right?

Boob or Bust on Facebook will sort you out. That calculator is wrong. I would say about 30DD or 32D based on those measurements, but you might need bigger cup than this if you're spilling out 32C.

How did you measure your bust? Should do it leaning down without a bra.

Based on your measurements you should be 32D.

Google boob or bust, they have a proper calculator and lots of advice on there.

30D, 30DD, 32C, 32D

Try all the above and see what fits best

36AA is totally wrong
Also try boob or bust website too

Definitely follow above advice! I measure 36inches around and wear a 36 band - completely wrong for you!

Thanks ladies. Unfortunatley with shops closed I cant try loads of sizes as I cannot afford to buy loads of different ones. I'm going to do the BOB measurements and see if they are similar to yours.

It says 30F - Seems a bit big as my boobs are pretty small. I'll have to measure the cup size again.

You say you have escaping breast tissue which indicates the 32C is too small in the cup. 30F is the equivalent to 32E with regards to cup size. 32C to 32E is a difference of 3 inches around your whole body so not that much.

Sister sizes of 30F are 32E, 34DD, 36D, 38C (same cup volume on different back sizes)

Thank you dementedpixie. In that case maybe it is correct!
