Been here a long, long time, but posting on a throwaway because I don't like fellow gamers following my post history back to boob talk lol.
Lost a little weight recently and also desperately need a new bra. Don't have my old measurements but I was last given 38F years ago with this calculator.
Looks like my measurements haven't changed much but I'll post:
Loose 42 Snug 40 Tight 38 Standing 46 Leaning 48 Laying 45
Calculator gave me 40F. I will say I prefer a tighter band, since there's a lot of stretch to bands at this size and I'm squishy. I have short narrow roots that seem high on my chest because of a stupidly long torso. Very wide set, I can fit four fingers between my roots. Even fullness from what I can tell, but it's hard to gauge fullness when supported because I basically have liquid beast tissue which just sort of settles in wherever it is.
I've tried some ABTF bras in the past, one by Curvy Kate but don't remember the exact one, and panache jasmine which had such a painful tack that I'd have to stick a sock between the gore and my chest to get through the day. I think I tried an Ana (panache?) and it was okay, but the wires were definitely so wide that they were stabbing the hell out of my armpits. I don't have any of them anymore. Most recently I "gave up" and got some bras from Walmart (Joyspun, which is their brand I believe) in 38DDD (US) which I absolutely know is "too small" of a cup size. However it was a push-up style (which I really like, because of the aforementioned liquid breast tissue, and the padding helped it from all trying to fly south for the winter) and I still don't fill out the whole cup. 38 band always fits perfectly when upside down and backwards. I always scoop and swoop. I really think my measurements make me look much bigger than I am, because.... liquid boobs lol.
Anyhow I just wanted some guidance because Amazon search has gotten so much worse over the years, and doesn't show me any real bras anymore. Only playtex, sponsored brands I've never heard of, and wireless bras (which DO NOT work for me). I'd honestly keep wearing these stupid Walmart bras if they weren't falling apart and discontinued.
