where do you go to possibly find some that aren't online and really expensive?? i dont know my size really but it is less than A. So somewhere AA i think. i hear 'shop in the kids section' but that is so embarrassing!! what if people think i'm a creep?? and really, i know i'll be made fun of...so are there adult places that sell really small bras that aren't super expensive?

i know all the replies of 'why do you even need a bra' or 'maybe you should wait to grow a little more' but...i am twenty years old, they wont be growing anymore im sure. i ask for places that arent online because i dont know my exact size and being able to try on first is necessary.

i live in the US, by the way...thanks for any help...

I just wanted to let you know you are not alone.
I am smaller than an A too!
Some stores carry AA... all you have to do is ask!
Good luck!

I truly do not think that anyone will think you are a creep for shopping in the children's section if that's what it takes. Most people are too busy minding their own business. Those that are not will either think you are shopping for a daughter or will be envious at your small size. That's the response I get for shopping for jeans in the juniors section because I have no dierreire [spelling is wrong, but you get the picture]. Anyone who thinks anything about where you shop for bras is the creep and should take their thoughts elsewhere. But most people don't have time for anything but their own worries. billieJ

I go to Victoria Secret to get measured. You should go there, and they can help. There is nothing to be embarrased about. You don't have to buy a bra there either. At least then you know what size you are. And as far as the kid section, I don't think to many people would even notice. If they did they would be the crep.

sports crop bras come in AA. Or you could ask your mom to go buy you one from the kids section or come shopping with you. The thing is though last time i looked the kids styles were all hannah montana or barbie. I don't think that your boobs would have stopped growing yet. I'm 23 and my boobs are till growing. Good luck with it.

I think it'd be best to get measured first, then look online if you don't want to go in shops. You can always return them if they dont fit. Just go on google and type in 'small sizes bra' or something along those lines and you'll get plenty of results.

Don't be too sure about not growing anymore at 20! I increased FOUR CUP SIZES between the ages of 19-25! I went from nice and average, to breast reduction surgery at 27.

As far as small sizes...lots of stores carry them, even stores like walmart, target and kmart. One other thing to be aware of regarding children's departments (aside from the H.M. and Barbie issue)...little girls are not just small cup sizes, they are also small around the rib cage, which is an important part of the bra size. If you can't wear a girls size shirt easily, then you probably can't wear a girls sized bra either, no matter how small your cup size is.

I personally wouldn't recommend Victoria's Secret. I have enough trouble finding bras there that fit me, and I"m a 32B (used to be an A, quit ballet, went up a size!). For a few of their bras, the smallest size they come in is a 34A. I dont think I've ever seen a AA... Furthermore, they dont really size you well. Look up how to do it online and have your mom or a close friend do it -- it'll probably be more accurate.

In regarding stores, I would suggest checking your phone book or the internet. In my town there's a specialty underwear store that sells both really really small and really really large bras and everything in between. One of my friends at college who lives in a different state has said her town has a similar store. Try looking for a place like that.

Good luck!

I wouldn't go to Victoria's Secret either.

Just go into a specialty lingerie boutique and get measured. Or go to a Nordstrom department store and get measured there. That's where I learned that the reason why no bras fit me well is because I was a 32 D where I kept trying to fit into 34 C or B.

Boobs also grow well into adulthood. I was a AA until about 18 years old. I was a B coming out of college at 22. Now I've got big boobies that get HUGE when I am pregnant/breastfeeding...like 32 G!

I absolutely agree, you should get measured. (Not that I've done it. I really should.)

Sears & Dillard Department Store have Bra Specialist that come to their stores to fit women for the right size bra - give your local store a call and see if (when) one will be coming to your town.

I've had the goofy problem of being a C cup, but needing a 44. Target is JUST starting to carry that size in a non-underwire (OUCH!) bra. I have the problem with reatailers not realizing not all of us "bigger girls" are DDs!

I hear you there.... as I too am a full 44 C and the bra's for us size ladies are very hard to come by... I did locate one a few months back at Sears and I got one in every color, even at $30 a shot.

I always had the understanding of measuring ones self as rather easy.
Use a seamstress tape measurer and measure around the fullest part of the breast, (usually directly across the nipples), holding tape snug, but not tight.
The results is the inches of size in diameter of the chest. The cup size, however..not really certain how to get an accurate measurement on that, other than to try on various bras to find out?

I was a dink size A cup...34 A (possibly a "sub" A....lol)...although the numeric means only the measurement around the chest. I think its the cup that makes more the difference....not really certain, though.

I used to shop in the teens section for myself for a long time, and to hell with anyone who may have looked at me. I'm old enough to have a teen daughter, (who happened to have quickly exceeded my breast size before she even reached 13...the brat...lmao), and shopping in teen's section wasn't an issue, (cept for maybe the fact that I hated the idea that I HAD to for myself....not for daughter).

I never developed breasts, which for a long time I didn't understand. My sisters had developed just fine....but not me. I had read sometime ago that smoking marijuana at an early age (can) deplete the estrogen development in some girls. Anything's possible, I guess. I figured that it's just my luck that I'd be that one who'd fall into that category to be effected by the use of marijuana.
I began smoking weed heavily at 13 and didn't stop til my mid 20's.
Finally got a tit job anyway. Lived most my life being teased for being "half a woman", and it wasn't until the psychological downgrading by ex hub that finally made me feel so ugly that I had a job done. I must say, though, I DO feel like a "complete" woman, now...(although I would have been just fine the remainder of my years without the surgery IF ONLY I hadn't allowed my ex to effect me like he had).
No matter. I feel wonderful now....and he's not around anymore to even enjoy the "improvements"..lol...the ***, anyway.

I like Victoria's Secret. I tried several styles on in the store and found my fav. They can be pricey but I visit the store or shop online and buy several when they are on sale.

Here is a link to the AAs they have ----> http://www2.victoriassecret.com/coll...ZZZ&rfnbr=5148
