DA

Seriously? You don't think DD is considered large? That's just wacky.

It all depends on the ribcage size and the cup size in what would make people perceive you as larger. A 34DD would be around a 39" bust size, would would look large. A 30G would be around a 37" bust size, which is a larger size as well. It's also relative to sister cup sizes, which are around the same size in perception that you can switch bras if you're desperate (they won't fit perfectly, but they'll do). A sister cup size to a 30DD is a 32D and a 34C. A 34C is smaller than the average bra size in the US. The 34 bandwidth is the average ribcage size though. So if you want a comparison of how you look, go by that.

*shrugs* A 30DD is just not going to look that big.

I am 34B, if I had DD cup size they would be ginormous. My friend is a 30DD and her breasts are noticeable large (she's also 5'5). I just...you're logic does not match my life experiences.

Where are you getting your averages from? Because your numbers there are also not what my experience tells me.

I know people who are B cups or even J cups, with all kinds of ribcage sizes. I learned about proper bra fittings at an early age and about sister cups. And I'm telling you, I've seen a 30DD and it's not that big. A lot of my friends thought she was a lot smaller than that cup size.

You learned wrong, though, sorry.

Keep trying to lord over with your great bra size knowledge, though, you internet expert.

No, this person is right about the sister cups thing. This is something that I didn't know. I always wore a 36A, but then I realized I could fit into a 34B. My bust size didn't change. I just realized I was wearing the wrong band side. So the cup size would be equal to a 32C, just the band would be way too tight. Yes, DD is a big size, but not everyone's DD cup is the same. Depends on the rib cage, and not all breasts have the same shapes. So previous ANON could still be wrong because they haven't seen the other ANON's 30DD breasts. It just... yeah.

Oh! Thank you for finally answering this riddle for me, holy crap. I wear a 38 DD and my breasts are literally like, the size of my head, but I have a friend who wears a 34 D and her breasts are average-looking. I've been trying to figure out for the longest fucking time how we could be only one cup size apart but have such a different amount of boob..

See, that's just bizarre. I got measured at this super swanky bra shop that Oprah talked about and I was measured as a 28F, but I've been wearing 34DD. There IS a noticeable difference between my 28F bra and my 34DD bra, mainly that while I fit in the 34DD cups, there's still that jiggle-jelly boob thing going on, and then the band just sort of sucks because it's all up near my armpits cause I can't fit it on the low point where you're supposed to? I dunno, I don't understand the whole sister cups thing, but it helps out a hella lot because it'll be a cold, rainy day in hell that I drop another 85$ on a goddamned bra that's my actual size. :|

Not sure if this is what you're unsure of re: sister cups, but if it helps to think of it this way (and this is my understanding only, so people feel free to correct me!): the cups on a bra are really meant to, well, cup around your whole breast for support. The band in between the underwires fits snug against your chest and the underwire along the sides fits a little forward of and pointing towards the armpits.

So with the 34DD bra, since the DD cups are smaller than your actual F, they won't cup all the way around. But the 34" band -- having extra slack from being larger than your actual 28" ribcage -- is able to take up the rest of the difference between your breasts and your ribcage. So it fits overall, but:

Cups not giving all the needed support and putting extra work on the non-load-bearing band = jiggle-jelly boob
Band too large to tension against ribcage = all up near armpits

In conclusion, I wish all bras over $30 came with puppies.

..you are fucking brilliant, bra!anon, and I salute you

Haha, that is one stylin' canine

(Anonymous) 2012-05-03 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's the same size as a 34C. It's decent-size, but when you're that tall, it's actually not very "big."

Yeeeeah, I'm going to be over here with my 30H boobs.
