Hi all! I’m nine months postpartum and none of my bras fit!

From the calculator I got 36G or 34GG (UK) with these measurements:
Loose 37”
Snug 36”
Tight 34”
Bust 44”
Leaning 48”
Lying 45”

I have a panache envy in 36G (UK) which is the closest I’ve gotten but after a full day of wear my first rib/sternum hurt so badly I couldn’t wear underwire the next day. I also have a Bravissimo t shirt bra in 36G (UK) which is alright but still not very comfortable. I also tried various Elomi styles but my issue is always the discomfort of underwire sitting low and digging into my ribs/stomach.

I have those jelly bras from Amazon too but they’re too loose in the band and I’m spilling out but they are comfortable for a full day even if they look awful.

Is there a single bra out there that can be at least somewhat comfortable for a full day while making my boobs look even slightly decent??

I rarely wear low neckline tops or dresses because of my lack of boob issue. My fiance is having a Ball for her AIT military training graduation in December and I want to wear a dress with a lower neckline. I usually dont care about my chest but it sucks when I get a dress/shirt and it doesn't look flattering due to the cut of the chest area.

The last time I wore a bra with a cup/band size was 4 years ago and that was a 32A. The bra I got 4 years ago and wear now currently is an XS Auden non-wired bra. I don't even think they produce them anymore 🫪.

Any time i go to the bra section in stores I just cannot find anything that fits me. It fits my body but never my boobs if that makes sense. Even when I wore actual bras (32/34A) there would always be gapping and space in the cups so I gave up. I used the calculator and got these measurements Measured in INCHES

Under bust

Loose: 26

Snug: 25.25

Tight: 24

Bust

Standing: 28

Leaning: 28.5

Laying: 28

Suggested starting size 26B/C

The loose is probably wrong, but anytime I would try to get it looser, it would just fall down.

I mainly just want to have them sit more full and mimic cleavage.

I would like a more affordable option because I don't have a wardrobe that would justify a high price point. The bra i wear now is my everyday bra and it fits me well with no gapping or loose parts.

A deal breaker for me is underwire due to sensory issues. I don't understand what a bra needs in order for it to give the desired look, but if I can't get the look I want without the wire then I am okay with the alternatives.

Lace is also not comfortable for me to wear as I am hyperaware of every design touching my body.

Any help would be appreciated 🙏🏾

I really really hate underwires. No matter what they always feel uncomfortable or like they’re digging. Maybe I’ve only had bad bras but who knows.

According to the ABTF calculator I should be looking for 28G/H or 30DDD but everything seems to have that gods forsaken underwire!

Have people with "normal bodies" experienced this even once in their life? I don't really hear it talked about. I know "normal body" is a loaded phrase so normal as in the type of body that bras expect and are designed for. I'm not sure what else to call it.

If I wear a bra with a band that I would call "snug", after a handful of hours it may partially dislocate my ribs. I have a hard time figuring out what a "snug" band means because of this. I feel like there is very little in-between for me between a bra that is supportively tight but might sublux me and a bra that is definitely too loose.

I want to know how common of an experience this is. Surely there are people who end up with a band that they realize is too tight but are in a situation where they can't remove their bra and have to just bear it. So what happens for most people in that situation? In that situation my ribs would almost certainly sublux.

For people with my same experience, do you have an underlying condition or a pre-existing rib injury or anything like that?

I've always worn a 36dd/d depending on the brand. I usually buy from VS and I've been comfortable in my bras. But when I heard about this site and did my calc I got a 32dd which is an insane difference. Did this happen to eveyone? I worries it's not accurate because of the sizing differences between brands. Im wondering if anyone had this issue and whether it turned out to be accurate. Thanks :)

I have worn sport bras my entire life and I want to try a regular bra. I’m looking at La Vie en Rose and Aerie bras, but I’m completely lost with the size guide because I’m getting two completely different sizes. I also tried the calculator and got a different size. I was thinking maybe to try a bralette too but I don’t whether to get a small or medium. My underbust is 30in and bust is 34.5.

I (25F) For a year now have been trying to figure out what my real bra size is. I have brought bras that I thought were my size but either I have measured wrong or my boobs have grown. I recently measured myself again got recommended a 28DDD and well, my bra still doesn't fit ( it's the closest I've gotten, but it still doesn't fit). I'm kinda spilling out the top and the gore isn't laying flat against my chest unless I'm laying down. I need advice on where to go from here. My measurements are:

Underbust - loosely: 30

Underbust - snugly: 28

Underbust - tightly: 26

Bust - standing: 33

Bust - 90 deg lean: 35

Bust - lying down: 34

Could I please get a measurement check. I have completed the calculator with the following measurements:

Loose under bust: 32 inches

Snug Underbust: 30.5

Tight Underbust: 28.5

Standing Bust: 35.5

Leaning Bust: 36.5

Lying Bust: 35

Shape I would say is standard root and projection, full on bottom. I have also breastfed 2 children so there is a loss of volume.

I previously was wearing a 34b. Tried the calculator and purchased a 32D. This is gaping at the cups and the band feels a little too snug.

Any help would be much appreciated!

a few years ago I measured myself and the calculator told me that my size is 30 D. I purchased a Wacoal halo unlined bra and it has fits comfortably until somewhat recently. I believe I’ve gained some weight and muscle. Now, all of the underwire digs into me, leaving marks after I remove the bra, and overall it feels too tight. So I remeasured myself, but the calculator still says that my size is 30 D. The bra feels too tight around the band, but the cups seem to be fitting mostly correct… If not a little tight on the outer sides of each cup. I like this style of bra, but this size is no longer comfortable. Would you try new sizes with larger band size, or larger cup size? Any other advice?

I’m pretty new into my brathatfits journey. I got a UK 34E Panache Envy Full Cup, and it fits like a glove. Finally no pain.

That said, the bra makes my chest look like two traffic cones on my frame. There’s SO much projection, and I look very pointy in a way that I hate.

I wear T shirts daily, and I’d like a bra that would make my chest look rounder and closer to my chest wall. Any advice?

Hello!

So the calculator put me at a size 34G/GG. Originally I tried the Panache Ana in a size 34GG, but when I did the scoop and swoop, I had some spillage out the top. I sized up to a 34H in the same bra and now the underwire seems to extend way too far into my armpit and I'm not actually filling the sides. The band size is the only thing I'm 100% sure of.

Based on the guide, I'm pretty sure I'm projected and bottom/center full. Is this just the wrong style? Should I try a different bra in a 34GG?

Thank you in advance!

None of my bras fit right, I have a 34dd push up (not bombshell padding) from vs that gaps really bad at the top but it does fill out at the gore bit, then i have a 34dd lightly lined from boux avenue and the cups feels tight i think the bands okay + the way the bra is designed its like half padding half lace at the top and my areolas are visible through the lace, then another one from vs (bombshell) which is a 32d and honestly i dont think its the worst i just very slightly spill out but my aerolas come out a lot - I think the band is fine idk about the gore because its one of those like cross strings.

So the calculator gave me 30f and might be more comfortable in 32e. When I first read that, i was like wth till I looked at examples and now im like wait... i might be that size... 😭 I probably should've invested in a normal bra first before coming here but im broke atm. Im sick of buying bras i was wearing 34b for YEARS till I bought a 34b vs bombshell and was like "wtf this does not fit?" Then i thought i was a 32d and now idk what I am 💔

Im not really sure on my shape, but I do think im full on bottom possibly. Idk how to explain this but ive always felt like they start low but they're not saggy?? And like they just look smaller from the front vs the side like they dont match 🥹 They look sm better if i squash them a bit lol. I hope this is easy enough to read im bad at explaining 😽 I also dk what to flair it as

Hi!, I’ve always struggled with finding my correct cup size. The bra would either be a little bit loose or too tight and I always thought I was a 31A but I just did the bra calculator and it said suggested size is 26D/DD and that 28C/D may be more comfortable so I’m just wondering if this is actually accurate.

Measurements:
Loose underbust:27
Snug underbust:26
Tight underbust:25
Standing bust: 30
Leaning bust:33
Lying bust:30

I got fitted for a balconette style bra at a local bra store, and I think something is off. It’s the Sculptress Estel, and I love the way it lifts, sculpts, and separates. However, the end of the underwire by my armpits is incredibly painful. It digs in endlessly and leaves marks on my body after only 15 minutes of wear.
I wonder if they sold me the wrong size because normally I’m a 42 in the band, and when I check the label it’s a 40I. What I don’t know is if the wrong band size could cause this pain? Or is it more likely the cup size is wrong?
