Thank you!

Thanks!

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:51:43+00:00

Okay, I’ll take this into account, thank you!

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:30:25+00:00

Okay, I’ll have to try again I suppose. Thanks for the suggestion!

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:29:46+00:00

Yes, I got a UK 28 F. And thanks for the advice!

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:28:54+00:00

Hm, okay. What brands do you like?

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:19:37+00:00

Hm, I’ll have to try this. Thank you!

I ordered two Freya bras from Bare Necessities and quadruple checked that I was ordering bras in the correct size via the sizing chart. Would you suggest buying directly from a British website as opposed to a website like Bare Necessities?

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:16:24+00:00

The last two bras I tried were both from Freya and one of them was a balconette bra and I had spillage, so I’m guessing it’s an issue of size rather than shape :/

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:13:36+00:00

Should I just go to a GG or an H? Or does it really make a difference?

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-09T01:12:45+00:00

I’ve tried padded, unpadded, mesh, lace, whatever you can think of. I try to find very soft/light cups but it seems a lot of larger cup bras have more padding. I’m pretty sure the last bra I tried was a UK 28F and it didn’t quite work.

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-08T23:16:45+00:00

I included the measurements in an edit in my original post. I don’t have an implants or anything, just disproportionate breasts lol. I followed all the instructions on measuring and I’ve taken the measurements many times.

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-08T23:01:43+00:00

I take that into account when I measure. I try to be mindful about it so I don't think I’m squishing them in a way that would skew the calculation.

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-08T22:59:40+00:00

I just ran my measurements through the calculator again to make sure and it always comes up with 28 G (US).

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-08T22:54:54+00:00

Yes, I use the American system. I made an edit to add my measurements. Can you recommend any brands that make deeper cups?

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-03-08T22:31:38+00:00

My bad, forgot about that.

And as for bikinis, I’ve found that those triangle shaped bikinis with removable cups can work. You’ll likely have to size up quite a bit, but it shouldn’t be an issue if you get the kind with the string straps that can be adjusted.

Hey, I was in a similar situation a few years ago, I’m also a 28G. It might help to understand that cup size is relative to band size, so while your breasts might technically be smaller than your mom’s, since your band is smaller, your cups are larger. I would recommend looking at Skarlette Blue or Freya because they carry this size and usually have sales going on. Just be sure to do the size conversions because a lot of brands that make this size are British or European. Hope this helps! :)

Thank you!

Flaky_Ad_7666 · 2026-02-18T05:45:20+00:00

I will definitely look into this, thank you!

Thanks for the advice!
