This! Are all you women wearing the wrong bra size?!

if your bra is so tight that it's completely immobile, then it's just way too tight and you need to go up a size. It shouldn't be THAT tight.

It shouldn't be so loose that you can spin it around! If you have large breasts, the band is what supports you and takes the weight. If you're able to move it around, then it's loose and the straps are doing a lot of the lifting. That would kill my shoulders.

It isn't so tight that it can't be turned. It also isn't so loose that the band moves when I'm wearing it. I have been professionally fitted and have measured myself.

I fasten it in the front w/the bra upside down.

Then I turn it right-side up + put on my straps.

I remember when I used to internet date that I was so excited to meet a girl who told me she had a 34D bra size. Had these crazy fantasies in my mind. Didn't turn out as expected.

Why didn't it turn out as planned?

I don't unclasp my bra. I just pull it on over my head, almost like a shirt. I wasn't aware this is rare but seeing as how nobody else mentioned it, I guess it is.

Me too. I'm an "M" cup it's easiest

Not really tiny.

Ok, tell me how a 30 inch chest isn't tiny. Because as a 95 lb teen, I had a 32 inch chest. I was one of the smallest girls in my class.

I'm the 32L and I'm actually quite overweight - just have a small band size. The band size is your measurement right beneath (or above, seems to depend othe brand) your breasts. The cup size is the difference between your band size and the circumference around your chest at the fullest point, so 1" difference=A, 2"=B.

Ok, we all know how bra sizes are determined.

Are you oddly proportioned? A super overweight person with a 32 inch ribcage sounds ... Off.

Take it up with my fitter at Nordstrom. I just don't store much fat on my ribs.

Anyone that can't spin a bra around after hooking it in the front must have a huge waist. The band size *should* be larger than your waist by several inches.

I think this is often dictated by your cup size.

If you wear a larger cup, they dont offer front clasps/hooks. My mom has small breasts and only wears front hook bras. I am a DD and have no choice but wear ones that fasten in back.

The proper way for a, ah-hum, "larger breasted lady" to put on a bra is to lean into the cups first - so you have to fasten it in the back.

Am I the only one who hooks the bra and then put it on?

Not necessarily. If you are a pear shape, your waist may be considerably bigger than your bust. For example, your measurements might be 30-38-46. So a 30" band that fits your bust, won't fit around your 38" waist.

You sound like a peach.

You can lean into a bra with the turning method.

NP, here. I, too, am large breasted. However, my waist is smaller than my chest/back, so there's no issue with tightness. I easily fasten it in front at my waist, spin it, and pull up. Personally, I find this more efficient and my DDs are happily nestled in my bra as I type this. They're not choking for air, nor are they overflowing from my bra. All is fine and well.

You don't have to push it down to your waist to turn it.
