    At least you didn't have F (DDD) cups that stayed as F cups :angry: And I haven't even had babies yet... if genetics dictate at all what will happen to me... I'm going to end up with H cups. And that just looks silly on a 32" ribcage.

    You may want them smaller if you have huge grooves on your shoulders, migraines and constant back pain. Not to mention wearing 3 sports bras. And wearing a size 8 on bottom and never finding a dress that fits.

    Ugh, yes. One of the happier days of my life was the day after surgery. They took a full pound of tissue from each boob, and I'm down to a D. x_x Mom always said, "lose weight, they'll shrink!" Yeah, no. Being a size 10 with 34GG cups* when you're in middle school is a recipe for hell, thanks Mom.


    *may have been H, we never knew - I always wore ill-fitting bras because no one measured me right.

    Is it wrong that I turned the lights down low and put on some Barry White music while I read this thread?

    Mine have gotten slightly smaller in absolute terms, but I am actually now a cup size bigger...and they LOOK bigger because everything around them has shrunk more. LOL!

    I have gone down two band sizes and up one cup size since I last bought bras. From a 42C to a 38D. I still have a little left to lose, but I think it is almost certain I will end up either a C or D cup.

    I agree with what several other people said, (and to paraphrase) if you've lost anything in your band size (e.g. 38 to 36), you have actually lost some weight in your breasts. Or you could be like me and be forced to go from a 40DD to a (tight in the cups) 36G -_- Then you probably haven't lost much in them lol

    I'm only down 21lbs but I'm having the same dilemma. I wear a 36DDD and they've not changed yet. I thought they'd be the first to go but no. It will happen though eventually, just focus on what is changing.

    I wish mine would go down as well. I would love to start running again but forget it. I keep telling my husband to call the insurance company to see if they cover the surgery....but he never seems to get around to it....hmmmm.....

    I started 38DD, BMI 30. As I lost weight, I went 38DD to 36D to 34D. I FINALLY dropped to 36C after losing 65 lbs. Seriously, I had to drop to a BMI of 20.9 to get down to a C cup. You'll probably lose some size from your chest as you continue to lose weight. I dropped quickly down to a 36D/34D and stayed there for almost 6 months, despite losing 20 lbs in that same time period.

    I started out wearing a 42DD. I'm now a 38C

    I started out at 38DD and have gone down to 36D after about 45 pounds. I'm shooting for B or C at the end of the tunnel, but it's not looking that way for me. I hate buying tops. It's the most disappointing thing to have to size up, only to be too loose everywhere but the boobs.

    Mine got smaller, but so did my band measurement. So the cup size didn't go down. The cup size is all about the number of inches your breasts are versus the number of inches your band size is. Right now I'm super pregnant, but back when I lost 51 pounds, I went from a 38G to a 34FFF. My boobs were definitely MUCH smaller, but in relation to how big around I was in the middle, there was actually an upward move in cup size.

    I would be very upset if mine dropped below an F cup. D is not a large cup size at all....

    ^^^^ agreed this is making me laugh so much... Im sure a D cup is the same in the uk as the usa etc. ???

    I think whatever is DD here is an E there. I started out with a 38H, now I am a 32/34G.

    I have been wondering this too - mine have definitely changed, but I still wear the same size bra... they seem smaller to me -but bigger to everyone else.

    why would you want them smaller?! Many women want surgery cause theirs are to small! :/
    Until you lived with large breasts...you can't understand ;)

    So incredibly true. Even at my lowest weight, I've always been a DD cup, and they really suck sometimes. Sleeping on my stomach is virtually impossible, and lying on my back makes me feel like I'm going to be suffocated. lol And don't even get me started on finding tops that fit my proportions right. It feels like I have two options -- either way too tight in the chest so I feel like I'm being choked, or way too loose in the waist so I look like I don't know how to buy clothes that fit me. It sucks.

    I wouldn't even know what to do with those things!

    Oh, don't get me wrong, they come in handy for playtime! ;)

    Even if you're maintaining a D cup (4" difference between torso & points),
    that doesn't mean that the overall volume has stayed the same.
    If your band size has gone down, so has the volume.

    For example... these are equivalent volume: 42A = 40B = 38C = 36D = 34E = 32F
    Those are going to look VERY different, from flat (doesn't need a bra) through average to disproportionate & might want reduction surgery.

    So since I've gained the weight I have, I went from a 34 A to a 38 C....they will most likely go back down once I lose the weight, right?

    The number is the distance around, generally rounded to the nearest 2" measurement.
    So a person whose ribcage is 33.5" around would buy a 34.
    This is the band size. If the band doesn't fit, it won't support well. The band
    is where a bra gets most of its support power; the straps are auxiliary.
    (Or at least, they're supposed to be.)

    The letters represent the cup size, which is the difference in measurement between the
    band size (above) and the largest distance around (at the points). As you can see from the
    discussion here, it's a little confusing when you're looking at European vs. USA, because
    they're labelled a bit different. Also, some people/manufacturers use multiple D's while
    others use new letters.
    In the US, it's like this:

    A = 1" difference
    B = 2"
    C = 3"
    D = 4"
    E or DD = 5"
    F or DDD = 6"
    G or DDDD = 7"
    H = 8"
    And yes, there are larger cup sizes. Those bras are hard to find, expensive, and rarely pretty.
    But a good supportive bra is so very very necessary for above-average women!

    A suggestion of where to buy: http://www.allurefits.com/
    If you have one of their stores near you, go in & get measured/fitted.
    They carry larger sizes, both brand & cup, and they're pretty.
    I've gotten some nice bras there, the first time I've had one that fit & supported properly.
    When I reach my goal weight, I'm going to get several nice sets from them.
    (No, I have no connection to them other than being a relatively happy customer.)
