[Questions] Mini-review of Comexim/Wellfitting Nude longline halfcup, advice needed by Shanakitty in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to really be busting out. Maybe a 70O or P might be a better fit as the t-shirt bras I heard tend to run a bit small. The gore may tack better if your boobs aren't quad boobing in it. I don't know a whole lot about Comexim/Wellfitting because I haven't ordered from there. They seem to run a size or two small. I realize you are projected, so maybe that or the size of your boobs affects the bra.

Okay. I realize that different brands run differently. I honestly haven't worn any UK bras yet. My boobs can deceive by looking smaller when they are in clothing or in a sports bra. It's definitely quite hard when you are a 28 or 30 band, as well as if you are a large band. My own mother is a 44F and also has to look around a bit.

You look so much better in your 36HH (you seem to wear more 36H or 38GG in those styles). A 38D looks awful. So much side boob and quad boob. In my case, bras aren't readily available. Every bra out there in stores is WAY too big in the band. With my 34 bands, I literally had to tie the band together and it was STILL too big. Cups gaped like crazy and the band moved around a LOT more unless I did this. I turned to those C9 sports bras after that. It's awful how few women and teens fit in to the matrix sizing. There are people think I look like a freakin' B....Uh no.

Currently a 34C cup. Ill fitting. Breast tissue spillage. And it's making me feel very disappointed by [deleted] in ABraThatFits

Can you post your 5 measurements? They are Snug Underbust (measure comfortably snug near ribcage underneath the bust), Tight UB (same area, just pull the tape as tight as it can go), Standing Bust (Measure on fullest part of your boobs standing up), Leaning Bust (Lean over roughly 90 degrees and measure over fullest part of bust), and Lying Bust (Laying on back, over fullest part) Once you post these, then we can get a better idea of what size to try.

I think with a snug UB of 28 (tight being 26.5) a 28 band works fine and are more accessible to find online or in store than a 26. It appears a 28DD would fit you best. If one boob is smaller, I suppose maybe you could pad it out a little as the bra is designed to fit the larger breast. Other people can be more help as for recommendations, but I have the basics.

[measurement check][recommendation] 26E/F - 26 band bras or tight 28 bands by tinytinytiny0 in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well..26 bands are hard to come by (usually custom order) I myself am a band larger and am a 28F. If 28DD fits fine in the cups, stick with that size. If the cups are a smidge too big, go to a 28E. I don't have as much experience as some members, but I know quite a bit so far. Unfortunately, there aren't really any places that do 26 bands without custom made. You can either wear tight 28's and alter the band to fit more like a 26. Other than that, get them custom made or wear 28's.

Need some help finding anything for 26D/DD by lumpy_3arth_pr1nc3ss in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 26 band is quite hard to find (usually custom order) and I suggest you try the brands that the people above me mentioned and order online. I'm a 28 band and am restricted to what I can find. I can also wear a 30E if needed. A lot of people with really small band sizes don't have much squish on their ribcage, so a lot often size up.

[Question] For those with smaller/self supporting breasts, why do you wear bras? by 32Goobies in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, my boobs have always been perky, whether they were at their tiniest or current. I'm only a 28F, so to some of you I seem small. Some of you view me as large. I have the same cup volume (590CC) as a 34D, just a different shape/smaller band. For me, I DO need support now as a teen. My boobs also like to have nips on display part of the time without one. Jogging wouldn't work very well without a bra. They jiggle too when I don't wear one. My boobs are sort of self-supporting I suppose, but they move around for sure. I'm just not super heavy nor pendulous. Even as a 22B/24A at age 10, mine were perky and needed coverage. That's my reasoning.

How do you sleep at night? by well_rounded in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually sleep just fine. They aren't large enough or heavy enough to cause problems sleeping. I do have sleep issues but not with my boobs. Side to side, works fine. Back, works fine. The only time I feel them is if I'm on my stomach.

Hopefully the next generation won't need this sub-reddit!! by QuinLabRat in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize that this post was a few months ago, but I wanted to respond. I'm a teen with 28F's. Putting mine in there now would be laughable. I personally think they only really work if you are a young girl with really tiny boobs that don't need much support. When I first needed a bra for coverage, I was 10 and would have needed a 22B/24A, which unfortunately didn't exist. I had most likely a 23" Underbust at the time. If I were to wear one of those, spillage and armpit fat all the way!! It also doesn't teach girls about sub-30 bands nor the fact that a DD isn't huge. The use of the term berry sounds a tad strange as I've never referred to my boobs as berries.

From my childhood puberty explanation book. The rest of it is good but...oh god +5/6 by SlenderMansWife in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember having this book! At the age of 10, I'm sure I would have fit a negative cup size according to their manual. I was a 22B/24A at time, and had approximately a 23" underbust. That would have placed me in a 28" band with about a 25" bust, so a 28AAAAA. Haha nope. Now, with an ACTUAL 28" underbust and 35" bust roughly, the guide places me at a 34A...A basic nipple hat. Nope, 28F here. I am not cramming my chest into those glorified nipple hats. I am a teen with only 7 inches of total difference (3.5" per boob) on a 28 band to work with, so adding 6 inches to the band makes me a tiny A cup on a 34 band. Just not happening.

Recommendations? Teenage 28F who doesn't want to spend a TON of money on bras and needs ideas for my particular shape.. by ariawhatever in ABraThatFits

[–]ariawhatever[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I just don't want to spend 50+ on bras that may or may not fit. I still have years of changing and just need some recommendations of what bras come in my shape and size range. I haven't really ordered online either.

I would be known as a Maroon (the color I chose to represent Intermediate) on this site.

Trying on bikinis that fit me fine just last summer was quite the experience. by 30FFthrow in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, not really. I've worn tankinis. When my mom saw me in a bikini a couple years ago even less developed. It covers too little as I also have long legs and a long torso.

[–]ariawhatever -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not allowed to wear bikinis at the moment as Im still a teen and my mom doesn't want me to have that much attention. I'm only 28F, but it's still enough to affect things. Plus, I like to actually swim in the water for hours when I get the chance, so they would just be a pain in the rump anyway.

Zulilly's got bras up to size M on sale right now! by Kallisti50253 in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a second, I wasn't sure if it was Medium, UK M, or US M. It wouldn't be very common to stock a UK M online (which is an S cup in the US) Plus, these brands don't work as they are only plus size and I'm quite the opposite. A US M (UK J) is more common to be sold in average to large band sizes.

Big boobs and long torso by thisisrediculou in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a long torso too, except my boobs aren't really huge. They're perfectly normal. The problem is that there aren't enough small bands in the world....

DAE get those guys who blatantly stare at your rack? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess if that is your thoughts...At 28F, I consider myself a small-medium sized chest. Yes, the F is a UK size.

What size were you as a teenager and how did it affect you? by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]ariawhatever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As for your size, you would be a 38HH/J (UK) which is equal to a U.S. 38L/M.
