*sigh* There is is much ignorance among women about bra sizes that it is . . . . sad.

For example, the claim that “no way I could be a D” reveals the common and totally false belief that cup sizes are a fixed size, so that all B cups are the same sized cup, all D cups are the same sized cup, etc. This belief is totally wrong. In reality, a 32 D is a smaller cup size than a 34 D, a 34 D is a smaller cup than a 36 D, a 36 D is a smaller cup than a 38 D, etc.

A 30 D is NOT A big cup size. It is, for example, SMALLER than a 38 A cup.

“D Cup” does NOT necessarily equate to “big boobs”. “D Cup” by itself is a meaningless term. To give it meaning, one must also know the band size. Band size and cup size are proportional to one another.

All Bra calculators in the world (I’ve tried them all!) are broken, the one that come closest to a result are those that use above the breast measurement as band size (with no adding).

I know EXACTLY what size I should be (32C or 34B) with my
measurements since I know how a bra should fit (no puckering, 4 fingers AT MOST behind the bra strap, band horizontal, etc); I’ve tried hundreds in my life.

It takes much more than 2 measurements to account for differences in muscle and fat distribution, breast shape, tapering of the ribs (depends on how tall you are), etc.

Core muscles in particular really messes the formula because it increases the calculated below breast circonference a lot (in my case, if I compare to when I was 16: at least 4 inches (28 inch then, now 32 inch).

Um… Your calculator says I should wear a 30D bra. All the bras, save one, that I own at the moment are 32A, the smallest size I can find in physical store locations outside the children’s department, and I’m only just now starting to not have noticeable air pockets in some of them at age twenty-one. And this is *with* padding. Considering that even a super pushup bra in the size I am currently wearing cannot give me actual cleavage (let alone accidental quadri-boob)… I’m rather small-chested, you see, so I have a great deal of difficultly believing my real size could be a D. Sorry, but I have to doubt your measurements quite strongly, since the US and British size seem to match each other in this case.
