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???

Its all Good!

yep.

I knew this because I have had people try to say the cup doesnt change at all but it can I think the bigger around the more room in the cup there is. A 36 C cup will be a little smaller than a 38C cup. Me I can wear a 38DD or a 36DDD but 38 DD is easier to find so I stick with that.

I gues i don't have tha tproblem since i am a man lol!!

Hey there are such a thing as man boobies.

that is true but i dont have those.

I came to learn this actually because when I was in highschool I could never really find a bra that fit. Most department stores sell bras in sizes 32A, 34A,34B, and you hardly ever see a 32B. I didn't think they existed actually. My mom took me to Victoria's secret for prom so I could get a good strapless bra and when they measured me they said I was a 32B. Which made so much sense cause the 34A cup fit but the band was a bit to big and they didn't make anything but 32A in the department stores. They said that it was the sister size to the 34A. I did some research online that confirms this. Actually looking up about breast implants explains this very nicely.

I'm glad I know what my size is but man its hard to find a bra that size anywhere but V.S. and who wants to spend $40 on a bra?

well we're not going to complain if you save your money and don't buy the bras... as long as you have your camera handy

I hear you VS is the only place I buy my bras I get them online cause sexy support ones in a 38DD are not easy to find,

wow...great info....never knew about the meaning until today, thanks Me1986

I have to say they're bras are the best. Once you've had them you just can't stand the department store one's. Not to mention I know they have my size and I have some choice in what I get. Its unfortunate the price you have to pay, but its worth it.

The joys of being a woman

hey, it's not easy being a guy either... we have to worry about getting them off you one-handed in the dark

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...

I would still take a woman's word on this though. Unless of course you know all that from experience yourself Jrock?

I had a gf once that needed a 32D... That is even harder to find. She usually had to $pecial order them. $$$+

My wife was such having trouble finding the correct size for herself after a recent weight loss (successful diet) that we ended up going into NYC to "The Town Shop" (http://www.townshop.com/merchandise.shtml ). She fell in love with the place and finally found bras that fit her. She does not fit into the one that VF sells.

That's cool. They don't sell on-line, though (as least it didn't seem that way to me in my Makers stupor...)

wow...you learn something new every day...now someone help me figure out how to make the world end!!

well... there was an episode of mythbusters on today where they tried to make a death ray...


(i don't know if they succeeded or not... but if so, you might want to see if you can order the dvd )

lol.....can you make a dark demonic shadow run it?

why, does your "Bro" or "Manssiere" come in One Size Fits All?



I think jrock is pretty much right(if you can believe it)
my wife has larger breasts and always gives me the 411 on buying bras in the lingerie shop. My only question to her always is, "How much longer do I have to hold your purse?"



thread killer

U are so right 1986... I think bra sizes are something more than just the letter. I found it quite funny that after losing a few pounds, my band size decreased from 34 to 32 but my "cup" measurement in inches didn't change. So my boobs may look smaller but in fact my cup size went from A to B. Bra style does a lot too, I have a selection of different bras everything between 32A to 34C and they all happen to fit... and that's just weird But if someone asks my cup size or I have to determine it for example when uploading pics to RMM... I just say an A-cup because they definitely look like that to me.

Not to mention the size seems to change depending the time of the month...

ok, now this turned into some serious girly talk...

let's change it to guy talk.....how bout modelling some of those bras?

Best I can do right now cause momma dog is cuddled with me on the recliner.

works fo me!
thanks

Great pics Diane - how on earth do you see the keyboard???

HAHAHA Very very carefully.

Holy wow Very nice Diane.

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.

completely understandable, and i wasn't trying to be antagonistic or start anything.... just trying to get all the info out there


let's just sum it up with "i really like your boobs and the rest of your tight body"

ack even boobs are starting to get complicated

holy hell diane...i just forgot there were words on this thread...lol

VERY NICE pics Di.

having lived with my fiancee for a few years now I did have some understanding of what you meant. We use different numbers down here because they go by dress size but my girl can either be an A cup or a B cup depending on brand of bra etc
