Bra size

7 replies

I'm trying to buy new bras and becoming completely frustrated that I can't find one that fits or is comfy. I was a 34E pre pregnancy (size 12 /14) but my bras are too small and digging in painfully now. I've definitely lost some volume in my boobs but size is only slightly bigger I think. I'm still a size 12 to 14 in clothes so not a massive weight gain either. I've tried various on and also done numerous online measurement calculators which have all given me different sizes. I've been recommended 32 ff, 34 g, 36 e, 38 e, 36f and 36 gg! I'm so frustrated I just want to find a nice lightly padded t shirt bra nothing fancy. It should not be this difficult. It's hard enough getting bigger cup sizes as it is and I am giving up hope of ever finding something that fits. Is anywhere doing in real life bra fitting? Any suggestions/recommendations, I must be doing something wrong surely it shouldn't be this difficult 😕

Have you actually measured yourself:

I have measured yes and gone through various different versions of bransize calculators. I've not tried that one, I'll give it a go thanks.

Bravissimo are doing fittings

What are your exact measurements?

BoB calculator worked for me. I take a 30H and it's so much more supportive than the 32G etc I had been in. M&S measured me at a 34D..... ridiculous.

BoB calculator says I'm a 32GG but 32 seems very small. I'm going to venture into bravissimo I think , if they are doing fittings.

32GG has same cup volume as 34G which is a few cup sizes bigger than your existing ones (34E). They could feel tight as the cup is too small.
