Push up bras for FF cup size?

georgia

I'm 19 and I'm a 38FF as of last year. I'm pretty sure I've grown as my bras have all either ripped in the middle or the back. my bra doesn't even touch my chest underneath my breasts anymore. they're very heavy and uncomfortable so I need support as well but I don't want an ugly bra. I'm looking for something sexy that pushes(and keeps) my girls up. also if anyone knows of good bathing suits for my cup size?

Answer
brastop.com specifically caters to D-K and 28-46 bands. I checked it myself and they carry many bras and swimwear in your size. I've heard many good things about Freya's Deco bra and it goes up to GG I believe. You can find it in other online places like http://www.bravissimo.com/ and http://www.herroom.com/

Since you said you've grown, it might be a good idea to double-check your size so use this guide for a rough idea: http://www.thinandcurvy.com/2010/10/how-to-measure-your-bra-size-correct.html

While nothing beats trying on bras, it might be hard to find something in your size to try on and it's hard to find a place that measures correctly. Mainstream stores like Victoria's Secret, La Senza, etc. are terrible at fitting and they carry an extremely narrow range of sizes.

Does the number in a bra effect the cup size?

purplefrui

I understand for example a 36c means a 36 inch rib cage, below the breast but would a 34c and a 38c have any differences in cup size? Is a 38c cup slightly bigger for the larger rib cage?

-Thanks

Answer
yes it is, the lager the back size the larger the cup size for example the cups in a 34c would be similar size to the cups in a 32d

what is the bra cup and size of a metric cup in japanese?

starryhear

what is the bra/cup size of a metric cup in japanese converted into english (ex: g metric or I metric and so forth). like i am a 44 D so what would that be in the japanese metric system of bra size.and in reverse (the i metric and so forth) for japanese into english/ english/japanese conversion.

Answer
Rather than examine what makes a bra sexy, let's look instead to how Japan seems to have a different measurement for its bras.

First off... having a large number in the chest measurement department isn't nearly as important as the actual cup size.

Being smaller in stature, a woman with a 32 D chest looks larger than someone who is a 44 B.

The number represents the measurement around the chest, the cup measures the breast. Got it? Good. I know I am simplifying things...

Now... in Japan, even though they measure in metric (using centimeters) versus the classic Imperial measurement in inches - no big deal... just convert - the Japanese have a slightly different measurement in cup sizes.

I saw a photo of a Japanese AV (adult video) star implying she had an F cup. Really? It looked like a D maybe.

I suppose it could because they are inflating their charms to add to their charm, but I've discovered there is a less nefarious reason.

Now... I'm actually pretty good a picking out cup sizes. It's a gift that becomes more and more useless as I get older, but I still know what it is I am looking at and hoping to grope.

But here's the thing. Japanese cup sizes are smaller than their western counterparts.

From what I have learned, there is only supposed to be a one cup difference... but it's not. It's more than that.

A Japanese D-cup should be a western C... but in reality it might be a B or a B+.

Why the discrepancy? The numbers were altered to match the population... perhaps to better feed the ego. It's one of those reasons why I think all women's clothing is in a completely alien sizing range, with super models being a size 0, and the average woman being - I don't know, an 8... whatever... I haven't figured that out.

So... in Japan... the average cup size is a B+ to C if we are talking in western terms.

In Japan, women tend to push a bit more flesh into the bra to make it look like it's bigger. I read that somewhere.

Western women will just get a bra that fits, more or less, the actual breast size. Obviously, the more flesh you have (IE, if you are a bit more heavy-set), the more flesh you can squish into the cup.

So.. a 70-centimeter chest with a D-cup in Japan is really a 32-inch chest with a C-cup... and it might actually be a 32-B+ if she wore a bra without trying to stuff extra flesh into it (to wear it in a manner more similar to their western counterparts) .

So... yes... Japanese women have a different sizing for bras AND, they wear their bra in a different manner from the west.

In Japan - once there, I knew what it was I was getting into. I had always jokingly described my ideal woman as an Asian redhead with big tits and that I had always found two out of three while in Japan.

But... I never played that way. I had numerous girlfriends with what I would describe in westernized measurements as B+ cup sized... some as an A+, a few Cs and one or two D's and definitely one DD.

But whatever. They would tell me they were an F-Cup, and I would just laugh inside my head, thinking that they don't think I'm smart enough to know the truth... like I even cared.

However, it turns out they were telling the truth and I really wasn't smart enough to know the difference.

Now we all know. Don't make the same mistake I did. Not that I made a mistake. I used to nod and smile and thropw the damn bra across the bedroom to sit in a crumpled mass in the corner of the tatami mats.

Okay... all this talk of breasts has made me... breathy... that's not the right word, but I didn't want to write down the word 'horny'.

Two Cups Size Padded Bra With AA Cup?

hiskid1973

I lost weight and went from a full B to and AA.. I got some spring/summer outfits that fit great but have
a lot of bust space.I got a VS bombshell but it sorta smashes me and doesn't feel comfortable compare to
a regular ppu bra.Is there an AA cup bra that is padded? Thanks.

Answer
You can find padded bras in almost any size, look around in different stores, especially Victoria's Secret. You could try the Miraculous Bra they have, I'm not sure if it comes in AA though. If you can't find any bras that work, there is another option besides breast implants: silicone enhancers, also called falsies, bra inserts, or cutlets. You can get them in stores that sell bras and panties or you can buy them online too. They come in different sizes and can add anywhere from half a cup two 2 full cup sizes to your chest. If you want to look like the B cup you were before, find ones that add 2 cup sizes and get a slightly padded bra in a B cup. The enhancers will fill out the extra space in your bra.

Ok... question about bra cup and strap sizes...?

Alex B

I fill up an A cup very easily. I wear 32A. Sometimes the straps are a little small though. Is a 34A bigger cup size or just strap with the same exact cup? Or is it bigger cup and straps...or just cup?

I am pretty skinny.
I'm getting mixed answers here... is this something that might vary with brands or something?

Answer
Cup sizes are in proportion to the band size. A 34A will be one size bigger in the cups than a 32A, as well as being one band size bigger. If you are pretty skinny then I very much doubt that you will need a 34 band size. The right band size should be your under-bust measurement rounded to the nearest even number, so a 34A is meant to fit someone with a 34" ribcage and a 35" bustline.

The standard measuring system that you often hear about, which requires you to add 4 or 5 inches to your under-bust measurement, does not work at all. It would put me at 34B or 34C, whereas I actually wear a 30F or 30FF.

80% of women wear the wrong size bra, so it's not surprising that you are getting contradicting advice. Most people who have responded to your question are clearly not experts, but are just repeating what they have heard. I suggest you read the links I have given below for more detailed advice on how to tell if your bra fits.

how to know if a bra cup size fits properly?

jessica :]

how do i know if the cup is too big? or if it fits right? i got fitted and they told me my size but when i tried one on, i think its too big..???

Answer
Yeah -- unfortunately bra companies are full of baloney when they size their stuff. I am a 36C but I have to get a 38C at VS, for example. Clothing manufacturers are lame like that.

If the cup has a sort of emptiness toward the top, like you aren't filling it out, either the cup size or just the bra is too large. If the bra drifts upward when you raise your hands over your head, or if the band around your ribs doesn't have a snug fit even on the smallest hook or the band rides up in back because it is loose, then the bra is too big.

If you have bulges of flesh (even if you are thin!) coming up off the top of the cups or over the tops of the band under your arm, or if it looks like the breast isn't being completely covered by the cloth of the cup, or if when you wear a tee shirt you can see the elastic biting into your skin, or if the underwires are biting into your skin, the bra is too small or strapped too tight.

It should feel very comfortable - you should not really be aware you are wearing a bra, but you should have support.

When I shop for bras if I find a cute style I usually get the size I am supposed to be (36C) and also a 38C and try them both on. Many women will tell you that once they find a favorite style they buy several because they know for a fact it will fit and look good.

You should switch out your bras every year or so as they do get old and the elastic wears out.

When you wash them, let them dry in the air rather than in the dryer, because the heat of the dryer can damage them.

Hope this helps . . .

A good bra for 32DD cup size?

Happily ev

Or 34D with a little bit of oomph
Maybe something with a little bit of pushup like the wonder bra?
Otherwise, though, I'm clueless. I used to wear vs pink or aerie Katie bras but then I got tapped my the boob fairy and all of my bras are too small and none of them fit well. I'm an hourglass, I guess. (32DD-22-37) 5'6.5 I'm still growing taller and *ahem* bigger. My dad is 6'8 and my mum is pretty tall too.
I want to get bras for my size but all of the ones that I see are a. Horrifically ugly. B. Unlined (I'm a hs junior and wearing a mesh or lace unlined bra in the locker room is out of the question. I've heard of people taking photos) c. Really expensive. So far I've had to get new bras every three months or so and I need like five for school so dropping $200 every time is a bit unreasonable.

Answer
If your bras are coming up too small, you need to be measured by someone at the store, then buy a bra from the store, some let you try them on so you get a perfect fit too.

32DD is a common bra size so you shouldn't have any problems really, it'll probably be located in the larger sizes section (D+ they class them as where I live) of the lingerie department. Or they will just be behind the A, B and C cups.

If you have bulges of flesh (even if you are thin!) coming up off the top of the cups or over the tops of the band under your arm, or if it looks like the breast isn't being completely covered by the cloth of the cup, or if when you wear a tee shirt you can see the elastic biting into your skin, or if the underwires are biting into your skin, the bra is too small or strapped too tight.

It should feel very comfortable - you should not really be aware you are wearing a bra, but you should have support.

When I shop for bras if I find a cute style I usually get the size I am supposed to be (36C) and also a 38C and try them both on. Many women will tell you that once they find a favorite style they buy several because they know for a fact it will fit and look good.

You should switch out your bras every year or so as they do get old and the elastic wears out.

When you wash them, let them dry in the air rather than in the dryer, because the heat of the dryer can damage them.

Hope this helps . . .
