POLL: What cup size are you?

Actually I've recently had my boobs professionally measured and learnt about measurements and the cup size is determined by the difference in inches between the measurements under the boobs and around the boobs
Cup size measurements go like this:
<1 inch difference gives Cup size A.
1in. more gives Cup size B
2in. more gives Cup size C
3in. more gives Cup size D
4in. more gives Cup size DD
5in. more gives Cup size E
and so on through F, FF and G

... so really if you compared a 30D to a 38D the 30D would look MUCH bigger because they're on a smaller framed girl. So yeah you've got it the wrong way round there, people with a larger band size have bigger chests/rib cages, NOT bigger boobs. So you're wrong in thinking that 32D, 34C and 36B are equal cup volume, a 32D would be a skinny girl with biggish boobs whereas a 36B would be a girl on the larger side with not much boobage.

AA. Hence why I do away with bras - it's like wearing socks when you don't have feet.

Actually, sub-AA. I'd be AA if the back size was 30, but it's 34 and they're not big enough for 34AA.

Mmmmmm jelly tots.

Makes me giggle how these threads are always filled with 26ZZ boobs. As if.

Am I the only one who gets really confused by this? I'm a C, but a lot of people say that they wish they had my boobs because they look huge (mostly because I'm overweight I have to say- but even so!).. and yet some people who seem to be a lot smaller than me claim to be a D or an E cup :\ I think a lot of people wear the wrong size..

I should probably consider getting fitted properly, but don't feel comfortable with the idea of it pretty silly I know! I assume it wasn't a bad experience though?

I know I'm 30F and it's a complete nightmare to find my actual size, I dont think La Senza even do them!

Perfect size, IMO.

I'm perfectly happy with it, but I don't think I look like I have particularly big boobs in comparison to my body even though I am fairly thin. I think its because I have relatively broad shoulders (think Jessica Biel) and am tallish (5'7").

I know how to measure breast size as you mention, but that doesn't explain the size/volume of breasts in practice.

Go to any shop that sells bras and compare the cup size of a 30D and a 38D. The cups of the 38D will be much larger.

"D cup" alone doesn't tell you much about the actual size/volume of the breasts unless you also know the band size.

D cups aren't all the same size.

Yes they'll appear larger cos a D cup on a 38 would be much more spread out, requiring more material as they are on a larger rib cage but 32D boobs would look much more stuck out in front. Obviously a 'bigger boned' (to be politically correct) person's bra is going to be bigger than a smaller framed person's of the same cup size but it doesn't mean their boobs LOOK bigger in relation to the rest of their body.

Yes I agree that you would need to know their band size to figure out what they looked like overall but what you're saying about someone who has a 38B chest looking the same as someone with a 32D chest is completely wrong! A 1 inch difference in band and breast measurement on larger person is not going to look the same as a 3 inch difference in measurements on a smaller person is it?!

Oh and I am a 32D in answer to the original question

If you've got the face to match, then you must be pretty hot.

Haha I wish!
