26G???

[Helpmyboobs]

I've measured myself using the Boob or Bust method and apparently I'm a 26G.

So firstly, has anyone else found this method reliable? I usually wear a 30/32 band (depending on slightly yo-yo weight) and can't help feeling I might struggle to breathe in a 26 band!

Also, since nowhere seems to sell 26 band bras, what's the best alternative size to try? 28FF, 28F?

Knocking on 50 and would love to one day own a bra that actually fits properly.

Sister size would be 28FF (same cup volume on different back size). What cup do you normally wear on your bigger back size?

Thanks, that's great to know. Normally a 30/32 DD. Sometimes an E depending on brand.

30DD has a smaller cup than 32DD as the cup size is related to back size. 32DD = 30E = 28F if you want same cup volume on different back sizes

Thanks, I'll try some 28F and 28FFs then. Still worried the strap will make me look like a marshmallow with an elastic band round the middle!

Definitely play around with different styles and sizes. BoB is a good starting point.
I always take my measurements after a deep breath in. It pushes me from a 26gg to a 28gg, a comfortable size I can actually wear.

BoB worked for me. I was wearing 34 B, it told me I was a 30DD.
I ordered bras on line thinking no way will they fit, but they did!
