Best bra for small breasts

[Namechanged454]

Hi! I'm only a 34a - boohoo!! I usually just wear lightly padded t-shirt style bras..I'd love to wear something a bit sexier or something that will give me a cleavage! Anyone recommend any bras that are good for small bust?

These Wacoal push up bras are brilliant at creating curves where none exist.

Hmmm...this sizing thing took a bit of a turn 🙂but I'll anyway suggest underprotection as another brand to check out. They're pretty good for the smaller-boobed I find!

Underprotection

I said the same thing to the lady who got me in the right size. The band on the bra I was already wearing was tight, and said there was no way a smaller band would fit. It did though, and as it wasn't riding up and the cups were in the right place it was so much more comfortable. The cup in a 30D is a different size and shape to the cup in a 34D. I needed flat and wide cups aparently! 😂

Just told my mum I'm going to a retail park this evening to go try on bras cos online calculator says I could be a 30D and she weed herself laughing at me 🤣 says my fried eggs couldn't be that cup size. Made me even more intrigued to go try some on tonight now!

What craziness is this? Like OP, I thought I was a 34a but went on the calculator because a couple of people said that was a weird size. Apparently I'm a 28e... Surely that can't be right?

Qnc, I'm going to test it out this evening and go try some bras on so I'll let you know! I've literally only ever worn/tried on 34a (and 32a years ago) so I'm very intrigued x

If anyone is near Sheffield I can recommend an excellent independent lingerie shop for proper professional bra fitting.

Yes, let me know! I keep assuming I must have done the measurements wrong or something for it to have given me that size 😁

I'm a 34A - or thought I was - and I've been wearing bralets for years because I can never find 34A anywhere and then get bored. I've just done B or B and I come out as 26 DD (which it then says probably isn't available) so it's given me a size of 28 C! I'd love to get a bra that actually fits.

Please update on your bra trying on session. I'm going to look online for 28C although I can't believe I'm a C because I've got such tiny boobs and I'm very slight.

The boob or bust measurement made me feel like I was in a crusher.

Well I've just looked at John Lewis and they had 1 bra in a 28C! M&S had 4, two of which were 'first bras'. I'm 54!

I like asda bras. May need to get less common sizes online but they fit well and are a great price.

I don't think 34 is an odd size. I have a broad back back but it's slim I'm a size 10 in a top. I have bras that's are a 34A also 32B.

I'm really tiny chested it would be a waste to shop in M&S for a bra. Primark plunge bras do wonders if you want a cleavage look OP.

Following with interest 🤔

30d is quite hard to find (my daughter is this size) as many shops seem to start at a 32 band size. I recommend boux avenue. She likes the plunge style as it gives her a cleavage.

I can pretty much rely on M&S 32C fitting well if it's a plunge bra but the best fit I've had was a 30D bra from Boux Avenue. My boobs are tiny but wide set and found that lots of smaller cups are just too narrow.
Whatever size it is I find balcony bras really uncomfortable and gape (think my boobs are the wrong shape) - plunge is much better for me

I wear a 34 band as a size 16

A 34 back isnt an usual size but to have a 34A bust would be unusual. Most woman around whose back a tape measure fits tightly at 34 wouldnt get round their breasts at 35 inches. I dont know that many woman are A cups at all but thats just my own speculation

This is helpful to see what bra sizes look like

@MILLYmo0se hmm true. I'm actually quite curvy size 12 bottom half. All my weight holds in my bum. Gutted I don't have bigger boobs not even in pregnancy did they get bigger!

Mumsnet us evangelical about Boob or Bust. It doesn't work for everyone though. I'm a 34B. Boob or bust would say 30D (I'm a 29 underbust) but even a 32 anything is gives me red weals. As for brand, Debenhams gives lovely cleavage but no physical stores any more.

I live in padded wonderbras

I meaure a 32B but was told i should wear a 30 DD, it just didnt fit right on me, or that might have something to do with the padding im used to but tried the wonderbra in a 30DD and didnt fit at all.

Has OP said her actual numbers?
Because no one with 4" difference in band circumf under/over should refer to boobs as fried eggs.

34A is the same cup volume as 30C, so just one cup size difference from what BoB recommended.
As for fried eggs, many people who have been fitted by M&S as A-cups would describe themselves as having tiny or no boobs, right? A cup means small, after all. But a M&S measured A-cup would in fact have about 5 inch difference between underbust and boobs.

Ooh report back please - I like a live thread!
