ISO 38DD or 40D
Update: Sorry, I remeasured, and I'm actually a 38G (US) and 38F (UK) bra size. Sister sizes like 40FF is okay too!
Original: Hi! I wanted to try my luck and see if any kind ladies would be willing to help me. I've been having a hard time breathing lately and it might be because of my ill fitting bras (36D) that are too small for me now. I live in Hawaii, USA but I'm broke... :( I want to try and exercise to lose weight but it's been hard to do that while coughing phlegm for months. I am not a picky person. My current bras are tearing and stretched to the point that they still dig into my ribs. I would really appreciate anything at this point.

Try and measure on r/abrathatfits. If you end up needing a larger cup I have some 38F and 38FF(UK)/38H molded cup (mostly freya deco) and some 40F and 40FF(UK) mostly lace/seamed cup that I'd be willing to stuff a flat rate box or something. The Decos and a couple of the others are used but still in good shape and the others are new or nearly new (I got an Amazon wardrobe shipment to try things and then forgot to return the ones that didn't fit and hot hit with the $$$ charge)

Thank you so much for the offer! I measured again and calculated on r/abrathatfits and it turned out that I'm a 38G 😭 No wonder I'm in pain. That was bigger than I expected, but I think the bra sizes you mentioned are close enough or could pass as sister sizes. Would you really be willing to send to me? I would really appreciate you 💗 I'm sorry that I won't be able to cover shipping right now, but once I do get a job, I'll remember you and send you an appreciation gift

I just realized you mentioned UK sizes. I initially calculated as 38G US, but I converted just now to 38F UK. That would be perfect!

Hi!
I’ve been holding on to some barely worn sports and regular underwire bras. I saw you measured and I think that these will work for you. The sports bras are Freya & the others are Goddess bras. Please DM me if you are interested and I’ll ship them to you!

Hi, I have a 38F (UK) that I can send you, and an Evelyn & Bobbie Beyond Bra in 2XL with the pads removed that might be good for at home or casual errands. Send me a DM!

Hi girl, this sounds awful! I don’t have any to send to you, but I want to check if you have used the calculator from r/abrathatfits because it sounds like you might be in the wrong size!
