A question for the ladies.
Jump to: Newest in thread
How often do you get your boobs measured?. Today I discovered they recommend getting measured every 6months. I have worn a 36B or sometimes C for around 20years. My weight stays stable so it never occurred to me my breast size would change. Turns out after being measured today I am actually a 34DD. |

Having met you in person OP, I'd guess you're not the new size either.
Youre very slender, so I doubt you're 34 inches underbust.
I'd recommend to any lady to check out Boob or Bust, on Facebook or online.
The way they recommend being measured, ditching the +4 inches method is a game changer |

What a great outcome too  it’s like getting a promotion when you need a bigger size!
I haven’t for a long time but I do know it varies slightly with different brands |

Hardly ever.. I know I wear the wrong size.. But I find it so difficult.. I've had some not too pleasant experiences with ladies who've tried to measure me, they end up getting frustrated, because nothing fits properly... Braless is my way forward. |

"No idea what they done. First they got me to try on 34D which was too small but must admit the 34DD was much more comfortable. "
And it was in Beau Avenue which is a shop I only went into because of my daughter. |

If you have an inch tape, measure under your boob that measurement is your band size. Then you measure around the fullest part of your boobs. Each inch over your band size is a cup size. Check out boob or bust they have a guide how to measure yourself  |

34 band is normally for ladies who are about a size 16 if that helps. |

I'd totally agree with this, the boob or bust calculator is amazing.

Check out boob or bust, because 34 is my normal size, but I do have 32 in a certain brand. And you are far slimmer than I am |

If I had to guess I'd say you were a 28/30 band, definitely give the boob or bust a try.

I just checked out & measured myself with their method, is it accurate ? I'm a bit gobsmacked at the size they've given me |

Ladies getting your bust measured properly is essential. I have invested in the lastest digital bust measuring technology. All you need to do is DM me a photo of your boobs and the machine will measure them accurately for you. First measures are all FOC  |

It is in my case. I went down several bands and up several cups. I've never been more comfortable in a bra since switching to this method of measuring. |

Silly question - but wouldn’t you have been falling out your bra? |

Read this as some interesting cutting edge info from a woman initially…shills have known better 
Last got measured during my first pregnancy, so 14 years ago. I too go up a back size because I can’t breathe if I wear a 30. And I know my cup size is one of two, but it depends on the fabric, style and fit. |

Never, I'm qualified enough to fit myself which is handy. My size certainly has fluctated. I initially grew to a H, then went back down to a FF, then back up to a GG and now I've been pretty steady at a G for a number of years. My band size has been quite stable at a 30 though it can vary with brands so I have some 28s and some 32s. |

It's worth remembering that a 34C has the same size cups as a 30DD. If you've been wearing a bra 2 band sizes too big, it's entirely reasonable to think that the cups are likely at least 2 sizes too small. |

30DD sounds much more likely than FF. |

Does the 6 month recommendation apply to those with implants??
I joke, I'm sure it does.
But having had my boobs done it doesn't occur to me much that they will change unless I accumulate body fat. So I never get mine measured as I know what CC mine are

That would be the same size cups with just a smaller back. If you can tighten your current bra by 2 inches and don't find it too tight in the front then maybe but for a bra 2 band sizes too big not to be falling off you, it usually means the cups are too small. |

For context, I wear a 36" band comfortably and I'm a dress size 16, sometimes 18. |

38B would suggest that your full bust is only 2" bigger than your underbust. Very few women have genuinely that little difference between the two measurement.
I think that A and B cup bras essentially should be so rare, because they should in theory only suit people who have absolutely no bust projecting out or with max 2" of projection. Even women with very small breasts will easily have 3" plus of projection from the chest wall. |

I might struggle with a smaller band as I have sensory issues with clothing. I'll definitely give the B Or B sizes a go, but it may not comfortable. |

That's fair. I've recently sometimes have to wear looser bras and compromise fit because of issues with rib pain that is aggravated by anything restrictive. The down side is I end up slouching more or with back pain from my boobs not being properly supported. It's a pain. |

"Since I upgraded, I'm not so sure of my bra size. I was a 34KK, but I think these are bigger. Luckily, they're pretty self supporting.  "
A tad bigger than mine, you have an added bonus of self supporting I wish I had that. |

I got measured a few months ago and my size hasn't changed much. It does depend on whether or not you gain or lose weight because we gain/lose weight on our breasts too x |

Sounds like they just gave you a sister size to what you currently wear. If you go up/down a band size you can do the opposite to the cup size and it will still fit.
E.g 30D = 32C or 28DD etc |

How interesting as did not think boob size measured wrong so often. Don’t as a man but when you measured properly and get right bra size is it Mir comfortable. The nice big and smaller ones here need looking after |
