[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Bra Sizes..., Do you know how they work?

I've noticed some guys on this site are confused by what different cup sizes mean. I see a lot of guys comment to girls that they think the girl is confused about her cup size. I know most men probably have never had this explained, and maybe even some girls. So here goes the explanation. Cup size has to do with how big of boobs you have relative to your actual chest measurements. Ex: A 32D is the same size breasts as a 34C is the same as a 36B is the same as 38A. So a girl may have big breasts but if the circumfrence around her chest is a little bigger her cup size is going to be smaller than what you think. Also, If a girl has smaller breasts, (like me) but has a small circumfrence then she might have a bigger cup size than you would expect. I'm 32B the same as a 34A, just a smaller chest circumfrence then a girl who is a 34A.

So if you think that dividing up the sections on this site by cup size is dividing them up by breast size, that is completely untrue. So be honest, how many people didn't know that???

me... this isn't exactly true... the letters deal with the difference in size between the torso and the breast... A is 1", B is 2", C is 3", etc...

a 32D is the same as a 34C in that the circumference around the body at the fullest part of the breast will be the same, so that's why the bras are considered "interchangeable"... but the D's are actually "fuller" breasts

(this is the simplified version b/c you actually add different numbers depending on whether the measurement under the breast is an odd or an even number)


oh... and before anyone tries to burn me for knowing this... my g/f is a 34D, which apparently isn't the most popular size at VS so she's always complaining about how it's harder for her to find bras at the store...

Well yes. I have compared the cup size of VS 34A and 32B to be identical to the naked eye. The thing is, the 34A breast should be a little broader but not stick out as far, relative to the chest compared to a 32B where the breast is less broad and sticks out farther from the chest. As for the +1, and +2 stuff that is more of a guideline. I believe that they change that once your band width gets to be so big or so small. I know some sight try to say that +5 inches is an A which is true for larger bandwidths.
In conclusion its complicated. Just thought I'd shed some light on it for those who were curious.
