Before I had a baby I wore a 32 C, after baby and years of antidepressants (so now I am fat) I have a 38D... well, that's my best guess. I cannot afford those golden thread bras, so I do with a few crappy ones. I WILL NOT wear an under-wire though, they are evil, evil things. I bet the guy that invented them is the same one that invented stiletto heals.

Personally, I NEVER wear a bra when I am at home if I can help it at all. I will wear one out in public because I don't think much would be accomplished if I didn't. I think bras are evil.

I've told my husband many times that I want breast reduction surgery and he acts as though I am suggesting that I remove his testicles or something. I want small little cupcakes. Sigh.

I am a 32 D, and got up to 32 G during breastfeeding. My boobs are a bit droopier now but still 32 D. The Victoria's Secret two cup size larger bra gives me back perky boobs lol.

I have always small breast (34A-36B). Comfortable well-fitting bras can be difficult to find. Although my hair is long, I've been ''sir''. Mutilating my body wasn't an option. Never been thrilled with them but have managed for 47 years. Now worry more about gravity and passage of time.

muahaha, i think im the smallest size! -which is 32 A- xD ... then again, i bet im the youngest too (im 13, almost 14)..

i dont think being in the B (or maybe even C) would be bad in the neartime future, but eh, i wont complain.. im just fine with myself as long im not an A forever (tho, i think im on the brink of a B! *woot* haha)

i absolutely *hate* it when the underwire somehow comes out and it digs into your skin TT.TT and when its in public and you cant fix it! ergh..

I hear you there... I am a size 44 C (odd size I know) and when I find a bra that actually fits I buy a few a them at one time (usually have to use my credit card at $28 a pop).... but better to have all the same style than none at all -

Oh to be a size 36 B again.... here's to the good old in high school.

I think I am a 12C, apparently there isn't much difference in 12C, 14B, 10D. But that was from my dodgy research on how to measure myself so I didn't have to get them done by another person. I don't like mine though because I have a lot of stretch marks, it embarrasses me so much, I can't wear low cut tops, and if I'm swimming people tell me to wear bather tops and I say I can't, they always ask why. I don't want to tell them why. I'm really uncomfortable with myself.

Awww Evening. I think nearly every woman alive has stretch marks and more often than not they are on our breasts. Don't feel badly about that. I bet you are beautiful!

No I'm not. I have them all over me, from going through puberty really early and quickly, and then from gaining a lot of weight really quickly from medication. The ones on my thighs I can live with, but the ones on my chest I can't stand. It's not like one or 2 lines, it's like 20 or 30. I can't wear a lot of dresses or tops because of it. They don't even have to be that low cut.

I like mine, 34B, but could prob go up a size rather happily. Small breasts just give me space to move, and I can take part in sports. I guess they cannot get quite as sore during your period as there just is less of them, lol!

Evening - I consider myself to be of an athletic figure - I've never really lost or gained weight in any considerable amount, yet have the most horrible stretch marks on the outside of my thighs, as well as the inside. I've also never had kids, and I'm only 24. Go figure!!

I'm going to retract my statement earlier about underwires. I went and actually got fitted, and I had my doubts about underwires, but I can actually say that since I've been wearing them, my back hasn't hurt as much. I was also wearing the wrong size.... Apparently I'm a 46 DDD/44 F, but they usually don't carry F's in the store. >.<
Thanks for this!

I started off at a 32AA & now at the age of 57 am still a 32A or a 34A when I can't find any 32's. I never wanted to be noticed or have guys look at me in that way......my brain, not my body was the important thing. I must say, in the heat of the summer, its so nice not to have to wear a bra. The sports bra's are the most comfortable, but aren't made to wear with many of the summer cloths. I tend to wear the cami's with the built in "shelf" what a funny term. It solves a lot of problems. When I go out, I can just through short sleeve or sleeveless top on over it. Mostly, I just like not having to worry about wearing a bra & not having to worry about how it looks. The cami's are good for when I really get hot & sweaty & when my cloths end up drenched. The humidity is so bad here, it's easy to look like you've been through a wet t-shirt contest the minute you walk out of the door. Coming from the California dry heat.

I must admit also that being very athletic, it's wonderful being small. I played racquettball every day with the guys I worked with & I must say, bouncing around on horse back is much more comfortable being small.

Hi Ladies,

I am feeding my baby at the moment and have a cup C at the moment...I do hope to get my form back to Cup A. It is a matter of time I guess.

What about overweight after the delivery? Have you got your fitness "form" back?

Hi agnes-sorel,i have been told that if you breastfeed your babies then you will loose the weight quicker,something to do with the uterus contracting whilst feeding baby.
my boobs have always been odd..have one side a full cup size bigger than the other and pregnancy didn't change anything..i'm a 34c one side and 34d the other,and padding doesn't work!!!
I wouldn't mind what sizw they were so lond as they were EVEN..it doesn't look good in any top..

I lost some weight and found some sports bras that were okay for my still too-big size and love them. They make me look "smushed" together and like I have a shelf instead of two boobies but I don't care; when they're as large, old and saggy as mine, nothing is going to make them look "better' really; it's like caring about which way the stripes go when you're way overweight anyway, LOL

Where is a good place to go fitted to get a bra? Do they sales help actually get trained in this? When I go to stores, the sales help in general seems unknowlegeable, so I would love to get a recommendation for a store where the clerks know their stuff.

I hate underwires. They always break and then gouge me. So uncomfortable. I was 36A before kids and weight gain. Now I am 38-40 C-D. I would love to have smaller breasts. It makes exercising so much easier. Need to lose weight.

Correct bra size does make a HUGE difference ~ true!! I'd highly recommend going to a specialty store (like Victoria's Secret) to be properly fitted. I got fitted at May Co, what is now Macy's. They couldn't get their math right, and sent me looking for 2 totally different sizes. Neither were right!

Unfortunately, Victoria's Secret doesn't carry cup sizes larger than DD. That was a problem for me too, around pregnancy & nursing. You may want to try another lingerie store. There are some out there which carry goods for larger ladies. Or, try ordering online...now that you know your size & more comfortable styles.

Go to Victoria's Secret. The employees are all very knowledgeable in sizing and comfort levels of different bra styles.

(No, I don't work for Victoria's Secret in any way. LOL! ) I just have a lot of experience In my experience, it sounds like you've been sized inaccurately, and are wearing too small of a bra. You may be a 42C. Needing a wider width.
