This can not be correct! (Bra talk)

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

I have noticed I really need to replace my bras....they are getting too big , shoulder straps are loose so I cross cross them in the back to make them work. So glad I have convertible bras but it's time for new.

So I found a calculator online to give me a rough estimate of size...wow!

My last bra was a 42

According to converter with my chest wall being 33 inches I should buy a 36

A 36 band size??? I think the last time I bought those I was in High School!

Thank you sleeve !!!

That's awesome!!!

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

I have to laugh because I'm super excited that I can now find my sizes on clearance racks..Large/ 14

I thought yeah, that means cheaper bras too!

WRONG! Lol I may be a 36 but it's a 36F so nope I'm still going to be shopping online! Lol

Eh, win some, lose some I guess

I'm saddened that mine resemble smooshed danglehoppers and no longer anything that resembles breasts. At least I'm now a 34 and no longer a 42...still a C, just need to hike those bad boys up more.

[emoji23] someone said they roll theirs up like socks!

Wow! Thank you for posting that - I have totally been wearing the wrong size. I'll just have to scoop my girls up off the floor and buy them some smaller bras to fit into. I was not expecting Deflate-Gate for the girls, that's for sure.

Mine went from 44D to 38B. The doctors on BOTCHED said that on the average well-placed breast, the nipple should be 21" from the sternum.

Thanks for sharing this useful tool. I definitely need to buy new bras! A 38D bra literally fell off of me last week. Fortunately it happened while I was at home and just walking across the house instead of at work where I'm a professor with hundreds of students in some of my seminars.

I went to Maidenform shop and was measured. It only took a minute and really helped a lot.

[Nurse_Lenora 903]

I'm glad I'm not the only one in need of smaller bras!

I usually shop at HerRoom.com as they have great selection and a decent return policy. Highly recommended as they also have a great measurement tool and a universal sizing scale to help you figure out what size to order no matter the brand (since the stupid brands can't seem to be uniform across the sizes for some reason). If you need good quality bras, check them out.

I have scored some great bras on Target in the last year tho. Just got a Paramour teeshirt bra (smooth cup) clearanced for $22 in the larger cup size (I'm wearing a 36G currently). It fits great, very comfortable and supportive after hours of wear. Even if it doesn't last for years, it was worth it. (the Paramour line seems to be good looking but lower cost, supportive large sized).
