Anyone tried this yet? Looks like a better idea than measuring tape method. If you click the link to order they give you a 20$ coupon towards your first purchase too. Nice! Pays for itself!

Maybe, if ALL of their products conform to a sizing standard. I generally wear Bali and find the comfort and fit of various styles within a size is pretty variable.

Skeptical. I don't think they even have a bra with enough volume for me. I bet I would just get terrible support.

Ok those shapes look terrible for the bras. Maybe it works if you have less volume, but those look like they would give me terrible shape.

I ordered the kit and then realized that the equivalent of the probable size for me wasn't even close to being listed as a size they carry plus the bandwidths were too large and the largest cup to measure volume didn't look large enough. I already paid for the kit so I'll see what I get and report back. I am somewhat of a 32 G, depending on the brand.

So just as I thought...

I got the kit and it turns out I am a 9-31. So they actually had cups to fit my volume (the largest was 10) but they sell nothing close to that cup size in my band size, which is always my problem. So another fail for me. So frustrating but typical.

I would like to try it but 60.00 is more then I usually pay for a bra unless it is something really special. The selection is really limited. I am hoping for more variety at a better price.

Hmm I got my hopes up since I saw they had a woman on the today show whom was i think a 30D or something. Oh well guess it is pointless.


I am on my phone, please forgive the typos.

A D cup is substantially smaller so for smaller band sizes, they would have that. That might be equivalent to a 4 or 5 in the Jockey cup sizing. I wish I was as small as a D...

I had assumed a-h would be available in all the bands too bad. I am a uk 32hh/34h so I have no hope.
