Bras?

Post Reply New Topic

What do you mean by still? That's my size I meant I need more bras as in a variety of them.

There is no problem to buy 34DD bra, especially in UK.
Some years ago I thought I wear the same size, but I was wrong, it was really 30J.

Here's British bra sizes chart:

How to use it?

I have 70 cm under my bust - it should be measured tight, because band supports 90% of boobs weight and bras are made of elastic fabrics.
So I subtract 5 cm --> 65. (if you have f.e. 78 --> 73 --> choose smaller --> 70)
I have 105 cm in bust - it should be measured quite loose, straight on nipples level.

I search 105 in the 65 line --> it's between HH and J, so I should try both sizes and see which is better.
I recommend bigger size for beginners, because when you wear right size, body comes back from back and armpits to breasts. They become larger or more firm. And back is smooth without "fat". When bust is higher, waist looks more slimmer.



If chart is too difficult, try electronic calculator here: http://www.atlastravel.nazwa.pl/mini/
It gives sizes in many countries systems.

Thanks for that chart and explanation! I knew my bras weren't fitting correctly but I wasn't sure why. Turns out I'm wearing a cup size too small and two band sizes too large!

Nice to read it

Most women wear wrong bra size. Sth definitely not logic: they prefer expensive surgery and its risk than much more cheaper bra in right size. But this bra has letter like f.e. G or J. Letterphobia can be strong. Surgeons like it

Oh, G-size. Here's LB's action. It's Polish wordgame. Nagie means naked, but na G (read: na-gie, sth like nah-gye) means G-sized.



Text below: Don't believe in stereotypes. G is normal size like every else. Do you want to know more about real sizes? See LB's website

I hope none of you has so stupid ideas

J is not enormous! My first right-sized bra was the same model in the same size:

Hmmm.
I've always worn 36C, but the calculator thingy said I should be 34B. Trouble is, when I've worn bras smaller, they are too small! I don't get it.

I find sports bras can be easier to wear than others.

I wore one for years and years either though I'd didn't really want to or like it. Now I don't. Luckily I can get away with it. Don't know anyone else who doesn't though

Alycat, you probably measured not correct.
If you use inches, maybe you did mistake in covertion to cms?

LOOSE in bust level, nipple level! And straight. Our boobs aren't made of silicon, so it's better to bend down a little. If you can't measure yourself, ask for help f.e. sister or friend.

Underbust - straight and TIGHT.

Band is basic. It supports 90% of weight:




How should it look?

6: It's only to make it all stabile. It's not for support. If you don't have support, choose smaller band.
7: Band should lay straight. If you can tie your band, it's really too loose. Use first fastening in new bra. Every fabric stretches, so tighter are for later.
8: Your back should be smooth, no fat above is allowed! If you have sth like photos below, choose bigger cup - I said CUP, not band!
9: It's a strap, not shoulderbreaker. If it pinches, choose smaller BAND.
Can you see she has each boob in its own cup?


Bra is not a cover - it's Perfect Support Machine!

Some people wanted to change size, but they couldn't do it. Maybe they still believe that if back is segmented like a earthworm, band is too tight? It's not true. Too tight band is trying to slide down to thinner waist. Too loose is riding up and you can take your boobs out of bra - from down. Or they go away without any help when your hands are up.

Before wrong, after... wrong again! Don't do it, please!




Why has she only a half boob in the cup? Is she afraid of bigger cup?



It's BRAS thread, so it's about... (everybody's waiting)... about bras! If "bra" word makes you blush, don't read it, but to hell don't flag these totally asexual pictures! Understood?

Valoyossa, you're amazing! I'm currently wearing the first truly comfortable and supportive bra I've ever worn. Never has the band stayed in place on my back like it is now. That "bra matrix" site is very helpful indeed and I've passed it along to my mom as well who has been amazed at how wrong we've been about how our bras should fit. Just wanted to thank you again, you've been a great help!

I'd like to show you photogallery Do You Wear Panties Wider Than Your Hips?
it's here: http://picasaweb.google.com/rimidimi/Experiment#

Sth extra from me: model is dressed, but if you measure yourself to fit a size, do it without clothes. You don't wear bra on shirt!

Valoyossa, you are indeed great! I used to hate my bras, just to find out now I was wearing a completely wrong size. Instead of 34B I've just bought 32D and they feel awesome. Thank you, thank you, I feel a lot more comfortable now .

And btw, if that's your new haircut it looks lovely.

I, too, cannot stand the feeling of wearing a bra. I never wear one while at home. I recently found this bra: Patagonia Women's Active Barely Bra (that's a link). I can honestly say it's the most comfortable bra I've ever worn. It's lightweight and comfortable, but still supportive enough for me. In regular US bra sizes, I'm a 34A; I wear a small in this one. Anyway, if you have a smaller chest, I totally recommend this bra. It might not provide enough support for larger-chested women. There's a similar one on the website for C and D cup sizes, but obviously I haven't tried that one.

Bras used to drive me NUTS! It turns out I have sloping, weight-lifter type shoulders, & with regular bras, the straps would constantly slide off! I eventually fount front-closure, racer-back bras. Very comfy! Especially with the underwires removed. There was one brand & style I really like, but don't ya know it got discontinued? X-treme bummer! Then I developed scoliosis. Now that one shoulder is higher then the other, bras are absotively, posolutely out of the question! The "bad" side has the nerves & circulation cut off after just a few hours. So a while back, I started wearing a men's A-shirt/tank-top undershirt. My brand of choice is Fruit of the Loom, as they have nice long torsos that stay tucked in. Since I started "going commando" on top, I feel a lot more comfortable. So I get called sir (unless I slather on the eye shadow)...no biggie. I've been a tomboy for years anyway.

Don't feel up to reading the whole thread, so forgive me if this has been mentioned before but www.decentexposures.com is a great place for bras for those who hate bras.

They're on the expensive side (custom made) but last really well with decent care, they're pretty, give a natural look, and they're comfortable. They're not super-supportive, but I wear a D cup and found them adequate. (They have some options to improve support but I tried them and didn't like the feel.) The customer service is really good so it's worth trying; you can always return something if it doesn't work. No affilliation, just a pleased customer for many years.
