I thought I was truly a 32C. As I got 2 or 3 inches bigger I thought I was like a D34or 32. When you're this small you never think its possible to be a G I still think the women in my op are more like full C's small D's
I don't doubt that you made that mistake and it was probably because you had never experienced wearing the right size before.

This thread is quite interesting. My gf always assumed she was a D/DD. Based on what I've seen and heard from other women (including ex-girlfriends), her opinion of her own size seemed reasonable.

Recently, we went to a local mall and she found out that she's a G - cup. In a D/DD bra, there's definitely more spillage and cleavage but she feels there's less support. The G - cup fits perfectly though it doesn't really accentuate the breasts as much.

My guess is that most women are wearing bras at least 1 or 2 cup sizes too small. This is probably more true with larger women.

^larger busted women. But many many people are in the wrong size. It is just less annoying if your breasts are smaller.

Tell her to try Cleo bras. They make your breasts front and center.

Not all fit the same way and it depends on you breast shape too.

Also, women hate back fat - so a lot of you will wear too loose bands to keep from having it which is really bad news for heavier boobs. That sucker needs to be as tight as possible bordering on unbearable as long as it doesn't twist and fold on the edges.
Yep. A mainstream store told me I was such and such DD. Later I went to a different store and was told 34G. The G fits way better than what the mainstream store told me, but that store only sells up to DD. My sister and I probably have about the same sized breasts, but as I'm much skinner than she is our cup sizes are completely different.

Ah, I don't know whether I should laugh, cry, or just be happy the resizing movement is spreading.

I'll be glad when people no longer refer to cup sizes as if they're fixed volumes.

C is my favorite size and 34 in front of it. I have had many GFs with different sized boobs and the ones with a smaller chest told me their nipples were extreme errogenous zone whereas those with big racks say the opposite.

I started dating smaller women 5'5" -5'6". I am 6'1". I like boobs.

Many years ago, a C cup was considered large, and a D cup was considered XL. I laugh at this now. People (humans) are just taller and larger than they were in the 1950s. Old sizes don't mean much. We aren't malnourished dustbowl farmers anymore.

Today, a 36-D would probably be average. That's me, and I'm a size 10-12 in regular clothing sizes. I'm not big, and I'm not small. I'm just a plan jane. I think an F or G bra cup size would not be very uncommon nowadays.
