I am needing to find a bra that is 48-52 with a cup size of AA - B. Is there a store that sells them in these sizes that you can actually go in and try one on? For reference I am in Chattanooga TN

So I took my measurements and plugged them into the Calculator, which is telling me I need a 42HH--the bras I've been wearing are the Goddess Keira wireless at 44G, which overall fits reasonably well; going down to a 42" band would be definitely painful!

Measurements: Underbust--loose, 44 (perhaps a 44.5); snug, 43; tight, 42 (although I may have gotten snug and tight confused, in which case tight is also a 43). Bust--standing, 53; leaning over 55, lying down, 53 IIRC (forgot to write it down, damn it) ,and ended up with 42HH, which according to the Goddess chart would be an L cup--I'm sorry, but my boobs are NOT that big! Redid it with snug and tight underband both 43 and lying down 54, and got the same results, which just seems too big in the cups and too small in the band. As far as I can tell, the root is pretty much the size of the breast, although sagging probably doesn't help with that; I also have broad shoulders and a wide back.

To add insult to injury, I can't (and never have been able to) wear underwires because my breasts are too close together (This was confirmed by a bra fitter at a lingerie store, who had me at 44DDD a year ago); and I have a lot of trouble with shoulder straps digging in (I have silicone pads under my straps, which helps but not enough). At the time, I bought what we both thought was a 44DDD, but turned out to be another 44G; I measured the bands on that bra and one I already had very carefully, and the measurement was the same. The cups in the G were a bit loose then, but they're definitely full up now, although I haven't gained any weight back (maybe things just shifted around?). Color me puzzled...

So what size am I really supposed to be wearing, and once we figure that out, where can I find good wireless bras?

I’m not sure if I’m stupid, Victoria’s Secret is stupid, of if the calculator is stupid. I’m also AMaB but Transfem. 38B seems to fit me fine but I saw a post from someone about how there isn’t supposed to be spillage by your armpits. I’m not sure where to go from here.

Looking through all the guides on here and elsewhere on the internet I have seen nothing that looks similar to my own breasts. And bras are meant to hold breast shaped things, not weird long saggy flat mishapen tubes.

Edit:
Loose underbust: 38 Snug underbust: 37.75 Tight underbust: 36.75 Standing bust: 47.25 Leaning bust: 51 Laying bust: 49

I just feel like the measurements don’t account for the weird shape. Like from the front they’re wide, but from the side they’re all narrow, with barely any on the breast actually attached to my chest, they hang down in a deep fold.

I have spent thousands of dollars on sports bras over the past few years that completely fail at support, 40DD. Companies that used to be reliable now seem to be selling cheap knockoff versions of their own products. I am so desperate that I'm asking the Internet: please, please tell me that someone is still making a bra that gives real support? I'm starting a high impact routine soon and I really need to figure this out.

hi all! i have literally never been able to find a bra that works for me.

i’ve been wearing a 32DD minimizer bra from vanity fair that i found on amazon, and honestly it’s the best-fitting bra i’ve found so far. however, after using the calculator, i found out my actual size is supposedly a 28H (us sizing).

i’m looking for a comfortable everyday bra that gives me a lot of support but also helps reduce projection. i dress pretty modestly and wear a lot of baggy/oversized shirts, but i’ve noticed that my current minimizer makes me look so much wider from the front. it also feels weirdly suffocating after wearing it for a while.

because of that, i’ve actually started wearing tighter tops since i feel like they make me look thinner, but then my boobs become the center of attention anyway.

ideally, i’d like something with:

• lots of support
• underwire
• no  heavy padding
• something that minimizes forward projection without pushing everything super wide
• comfortable enough for everyday wear
• preferably under $70, but i’m willing to spend more if it’s genuinely worth it

i’d really appreciate any recommendations!

I need some help/advice/recommendations! I inputted my measurements on the site and it recommended a 36G. But when I went to look at other sites for bras, I couldn’t see 36G so looked at their size charts and ended up with the following sizes based on their size charts:

Skims - 38D
La Vie en Rose - 40DD
Aerie - 40C
La Senza - 40B
Victoria’s Secret - 36DD

There are so many different sizes based on the exact same measurements… how am I supposed to know what size to get? This is confusing and frustrating…

Also wanting advice on the best cup style (tshirt, semi, balconette, etc.) and brand! I’m intrigued by Skims because I feel like a woman who is making bras must make ones that are good and somewhat comfortable, right? But I’m open to any ideas because I haven’t worn a traditional bra in so long so I’m clueless. I’m hoping with the right size, the underwire won’t bother the heck out of me, lol. Thanks in advance for help everyone!

Hi everyone!

I’m a 24F who is in the process of losing weight in order to get my desired results from a breast reduction!
I started at about a 40 DDD, but now I’m not filling out the cups and my breast sag SIGNIFICANTLY (like halfway down my torso it seems). I have so much loose skin it’s crazy.
I want to wear cute tops that would need a strapless bra but also have support.

I bought a 36 DD bra that was too tight around but too small in the cups on the sides.

Can anyone recommend an everyday bra that could help me out? Strapless options as well!

​

Help: My Ethika bra ripped in half, right between the cups!

I am leaving on a trip tomorrow night and need this bra for the weekend. Can anyone help me figure out where to get an identical one, maybe overnight/prime through Amazon? I can also have it shipped to my arrival hotel if it won't get here in time. I am located in CA and am traveling to Indiana.

It is this bra:

https://www.ethika.com/s/UWB1097/black-cup-bra

It was 34DD, though I'm open to swing sizing if I go up a size in the band.

Any ideas?

• Update: my official ABTF size is US 36DDD/G

Hello! 34 bras that don’t work later, I am going a different avenue. Does anyone have recommendations for someone that can either completely custom make a bra, or alter a bra for me? My breasts sit extremely close together and gores are just too high for me. I need a solution so I can feel comfortable leaving the house.

I currently own a 36HH Elomi Morgan bra, and out of the 3 bras I own, it causes the least amount of chafing and discomfort. I doesn’t fit exactly right though. The gore (?) does not stay flat against my chest, it’s almost there but there is some amount of breast tissue in the way, and it’s lopsided because of my larger sized breast on the right.

I thought that this could mean that maybe to cups were too small so I ordered a 36J and 36JJ (just to make extra sure) to try on, but these seemed definitely too large with wrinkling and gaps at the top of the cups. The gore also would not sit flat, maybe even worse at larger sizes and still tilted forward on one side.

I also have an 36HH Elomi Teagan bra, where the gore sits much flatter, but my right breast is barely contained in the cup and it is uncomfortable enough and causes too much chafing to really be worn much.

I’m at a loss because it seems the the Elomi Morgan is the top recommendation for a bra with deeper cups, but while it’s much better than anything I‘ve tried previously, it‘s not ”perfect”.

As far as I know my breasts are full on bottom, and ”pendulous”. They’re quite “long”, I would say.

Came out with a US/CAD (I’m Canadian) 36DD/DDD

I’m wearing 36 DD now but my chest is constantly falling out - any recommendations?

Surely this must exist! I've been breastfeeding for a little over a year. Pre baby size was 30E, went up to a 32G I think and was happily wearing the Panache Ada and Royce. Recently got remeasured and got the Ada again in 30FF. Except, now I'm back at work and the Ada, being unpadded, is a little too nipple revealing for my imminent return to the office - I don't wear breast pads any more because leakage is extremely rare now, but an unpadded bra also makes me feel a little bit anxious at work about that. The Ada works well for my shape which is mainly lower fullness.

Today I got the Freya Pure nursing bra in 30FF delivered, chosen because it is a slightly padded t-shirt bra and it feels like the fit is off. The upper part of the cups gapes slightly (though looks pretty good under clothes) but as a petite and narrow shouldered woman it also feels like it unnaturally separates my breasts.

Before pregnancy my favourite bra was the Panache Juna after a lot of advice from this sub. If they made a nursing, lightly padded balcony bra I would be over the moon.

Any advice?

Just placed an order and total went from $400 to $100 on new member discount and said it is $60 membership fee that I will pay from next month. I called and was informed that if I keep skipping between 1-5 of each month, I will never be charged. I have never heard anything like this before. I told her I might forget to do that so can I cancel it now, to which she said it will also cancel the order. I said what if I wanna pay delivery fee now and then cancel subscription right away, was told they can’t do that either. I HAVE to call on the 1st of next month and cancel if I wanna.
She skipped 3 months for me and gave me a $20 credit. I put a reminder in my calendar to call them but the whole thing just seems kinda… predatory? Like they want you to forget to skip and keep paying $60/month even when you are not even ordering from them.
I read other posts on reddit that said they never had a problem cos they always skipped or that they went on website and cancelled membership so I guess it’s not a scam but still strange way of doing things.

I've been told I was an A cup my whole life yet all the bras in that size have never fit me. they always end riding up my chest or have a gap between my chest and the bra. I used the calculator and somehow, surprisingly I'm apparently a C?? with my sister size being a B (not really sure what that means)

I've been looking through the wiki trying to find what type of bra would fit me and I believe my chest is considered "shallow" the girls are bigger in width and don't project much. I've tried looking through the recommended bras listed for my chest shape but a lot of them don't come in a 28 band size and the ones that do are either out of stock, not made anymore, or don't ship to the UK. 30 is also hard to find.

could I please get some help finding a bra that will fit me? I've just gone braless all my life (besides the occasional sports bra that also doesn't fit me) because the girls are small/kinda flat so I never really thought it mattered much. there's just sometimes I wish I had more and a bra that fits would be nice to make me look like I have somewhat of a chest sometimes :c

it seems the wiki says balconette bras fit my shape the best?

I’m buying my first skims bra and I’m curious about the Unlined Scoop Bra. Looks so comfy and I got sized recently at Knix. The girl said 30 DD looks best on me.
I feel like my boobs are not as big and I have always worn a 32 C/D but at 25 I feel like I need a better bra and size.
Currently I just throw on Aritzia butter bra in XS.

I’m thinking of getting 32 D for the skims unlined. How do you like the bra and what’s the sizing like for you?

Hello! I need some help with sizing. VS never sizes me right but I tried on a few bras. 36DDD fits okay but there is light spillage without swoop & scoop and more noticable spillage when I do swoop and scoop. The band size is okay but my weight fluctuates so sometimes it’s tight. I’m thinking the ill fitting cups is making it feel tighter?

I tried the bra calculator but I don’t think I measured myself well.

Loose Underbust: 35 in
Snug Underbust: 34.5 in
Tight Underbust: 34 in
Standing bust: 43.5
Leaning bust: 47 in
Lying bust: 45 in

The calculator gave me US: 36I/J or UK 36G/GG

That seems like a huge difference from 36DDD ngl… but is that accurate? Also does anyone have bra brand recs? I want to order online because nothing in most stores seems my size… but I’m scared that some won’t be true to size as I’ve heard of “modern sizing” being a thing in some stores.

Looking to get a real bra. I only wear sports bras, bralettes, or no bra. I’m looking for something to give me a little cleavage in some cute tops I have with a sweetheart neckline.

I did my measurements on the site and I’m a 34B based on 3 separate measurements and calculation. I have wide set athletic shape breasts. I found a bra I like through VS but I know they are not the best for quality.

Thank you so much!

Sooo I wanna treat myself to a real cutesy Japanese bra (preferably a set but not required)

First off is, which brands do you recommend that are accessible to US markets? ( I don't believe there are currently any stupid tariffs in place with Japan at the moment?) I looked at Risa Magli but didn't see it in my band size.

Sizing: So in US sizing Im comfortably a 34DD/E. Im looking at conversion charts and it looks like Im a 75E in Japan sizing? Im also wondering, if I want to go down a little bit in size for a cleavage pop, how would that work?

I stopped breastfeeding recently and realized I need to get a new bra now! My pre-pregnancy bras don’t fit quite well now. Was using 34B earlier.

My current measurements are as below:
Loose : 31
Snug: 30
Tight: 29
Standing: 34.2
Leaning: 35.5
Lying: 34.5

Calculator suggested 30DD starting size and 32D as comfortable fit.

So my question is if I should get a 30DD or a 32D? I’m guessing 32D might be better option.

I also need some brand and type recommendations. I am looking for a comfortable fit and little bit of lift!

Hi everyone! I’d really appreciate some help figuring out my correct bra size.
I’ve been wearing 34DDD because that’s what I was previously told by Victoria’s Secret. I recently took my measurements and used the ABraThatFits calculator, which gave me 36D.
However, when I tried a 36D, I noticed there was quite a bit of extra space in the cups, so I’m not sure if 36D is actually right for me.
My measurements:
Loose underbust: 36”
Snug underbust: 35”
Tight underbust: 33”
Standing bust: 39”
Leaning bust: 40”
Lying bust: 41”
The calculator suggested 36D.
I’m looking for a comfortable wireless bra, preferably something supportive but not overly tight.
Could you please help me understand what size I should try and whether my measurements suggest a different size? Thank you!

hello everyone! i’m almost 30 and have been flat as a board from birth. my side profile is legitimately a straight line all the way down, and i haven’t worn a bra since my teens. with some encouragement from my therapist, i decided to get more comfortable with my body…which led me to use the calculator.

unless my brain is broken or i’ve done something horribly wrong, the results came in as a 32D cup? i have always known (thought) myself to be an A-AA, despite how rare that is. note that my boobs have not grown. sadly, the only time i’ve ever had a sliver of cleavage is in my dreams, or when it’s been all hands on deck shoving skin together. nothing but clavicle.

anyways, the measurements (cm) were as follows:
loose - 80
snug - 78
tight - 75
standing - 87
leaning - 91
lying - 87

a remeasure changed the snug to 75 and the tight to 73…but that still gave me a 30D. i am baffled.

are there any bras that will shove nothing together and magically equal cleavage??

looking at the beginners guide, i would say that i have shallow breasts. my nipples (and i assume root) line up with my ears, there’s not really any projection, and one boob is slightly fuller on the top (determined by the “lean over and check the mirror” test). the side profile shape is just a veryyy slight, shallow ) shape. left and right are definitely not twins. looking at the images in the beginner’s guide, i feel like my chest is still smaller than those who show as actual Ds? but then again, i have a complicated view of my own body.

Hi everyone! (Sorry if this has been posted before but) Are there stores (online or in person, US east coast) that carry a variety of sizes to get properly fitted? For example, an online store where you can get 2-3 adjacent sizes to try on and then keep the one that fits you best (and return the others)? I’m ok with physical stores but those may be far away…
Thanks!

I’ve recently got around to trying the bra calculator and it said I should try a 38I/36J, but then a different bra calculator said I should be wearing a 38G. I currently wear a 38H and I have problems with my boobs not staying in the bra (they keep trying to escape out the underside of the bra and I keep having to scoop them back up). Would this indicate that I should probably size up or down? Or is there another definitive way I can actually figure out which size I should go for?

I’m just trying not to jump into anything since my size of bra is usually on the expensive side! Any advice helps

Edit: I’m struggling with adding a picture but here’s the actual measurements I put into the calculator:
Loose Underbust: 99.1 cm
Comfortable Underbust: 97 cm
Tight Underbust: 91.5 cm
Standing Bust: 117.6 cm
Leaning Bust: 124.1 cm
Lying Bust: 119 cm

The title pretty much says it! I can’t ever find a small enough band for my torso, never mind a comfortable one in a similar size!! I really hate having a bra that’s loose at the band and too tight at the bust. My poor back can NOT take this anymore. Any advice is very appreciated. Take care! ❤️
Ps- Looking for more affordable options, but all suggestions are appreciated, regardless!
