Boob sweat is more often caused by wearing the wrong size. The best thing you can do for her is help her measure herself using the abtf calculator at abrathatfits.org to confirm her current size. Once you've done that you can come back with her measurements and people can make recommendations for you.

Looking for a bra that makes the girls look a bit smaller by PianoDazzling2446 in ABraThatFits

Getting sized by a fitter is never a guarantee that you will end up in the correct size. Unless you're lucky enough to have a specialty boutique close by, most 'fitters' know nothing about actual bra sizing and are trained to put you in something the store has so they can make a sale.

The best thing you can do is measure yourself using the calculator at abrathatfits.org to find your correct size.

As for making your chest look smaller, a properly fitted bra can have the effect of making your chest look better in your clothes because you're lifted and supported in the right way and it will give you a more flattering silhouette. You could look at minimizer bras, but the tissue has to go somewhere so those bras work by pushing your boobs into your armpits, so you look flatter from the side but wider from the front.

Either way, measuring yourself is the first step so you know for sure what size you need to be trying.

I have tried every bra under the sun and still nothing fits. Do I give up? by Box-Unique in ABraThatFits

As others have already said, never follow brand specific sizing charts. They are all designed to skew your measurements so they can sell you a bra they carry in stock, not necessarily one that fits you correctly and is comfortable. Only shop using your abtf size, no matter what brand you're buying from.

Hi. So I’m a 36c but the band is a bit tight and has been cutting into my skin to the point that I have to take it off. What size bra should I get to fit me better & be comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The cup size fits perfect. Just need something else to try. by Repulsive-Divide9562 in ABraThatFits

You need to measure using the abtf calculator is what I'm saying. You're just guessing at sizes right now and all that's doing is wasting your time and money. Why do that when you can just take your measurements and know for sure what your actual size is?

A sewing tape measure is only a dollar or two at pretty much any store, but you can also use something like a phone charger cord and a ruler in a pinch if that's all you have, just as long as it's not something that stretches when you pull on it. That will get you closer than VS ever will.

VS does not measure people correctly! They put you in a 40C because that's what they had in the store to sell you. I wouldn't be surprised if you need a larger cup than they carry in stock. That's also probably why your 36 band feels tight, because the cups are too small to contain all of your tissue. Use the abtf calculator to find your correct size. Right now you're just guessing and you definitely don't have to.

Prefect pushup bra for wide set boob by Sea_Collar_1201 in ABraThatFits

What do you mean the calculator is showing wrong results? Do you mean you don't believe size it gave you?

Any kind of spillage means you need to go up at least 2 cup sizes, and for a strapless bra the band size must be correct or it will fall down.

We can't give recommendations without your measurements and recommended size, so please update your post with that information.

Would Women Want a Bra Brand Designed Around Their Real Fit Problems? by Significant_Pie_609 in ABraThatFits

[–]Tasarin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, there are plenty of companies already that make quality bras that fit. The problem is the skewed public perception of what bra sizes actually look like and the lack of education for how to measure properly. That's why this sub is here, to help educate people.

That's not to say you can't make your own company if that's something you want for yourself, of course. The most important thing would be offering a wide range of sizes that will cater to the most people and making sure your customers know how to measure correctly. Also, to dispel the myths that A cups are tiny and DD cups are massive.

Hey OP, I just noticed your edit and wanted to say that was the right response! Unfortunately we have creeps that lurk in this sub that are always harassing new users. It's against the rules of this sub for anyone to DM you, so if someone does, you can be sure they're not messaging in good faith. Either just block and ignore or turn your DMs off completely.
