Cup sizes

looneylarry
Ever notice the vast difference between the way men's and women's clothes are measured? Men's shirts are measured with precise inches and length: collar size and arm length. Jeans and slacks are measured by waist size and inseam. Suits are measured carefully and categorized: 42 long. Yet women's clothes are often S, M, and L. For all of these different body shape and sizes. They sometimes use dress sizes (7 or 12), but those sizes vary considerably between manufacturers. And the bra cup sizes: A through DD or whatever. What with all of the shapes and sizes of breasts: conical, full, nursing, sagging, rounded, pert, etc., they have to fit one of the few alphabet sizes. How many times have you guessed and been wrong, just from a hands-on sizing? That's aside from the usual lying. I have seen lots of boobs that were smaller than what I guessed, and some Bs that they swore were Cs. And I've seen tiny ones that would have been lost in an A bra. If somebody could make a cheap, comfortable bra out of a quick, form-fitting clay mold, they could make a killing.

    Custom bras is the ticket. They need a tailor for l'brassier.

    Lol it works pretty well as a system. When you get down to it, all boobies are roundish and will fit into standard bra sizes. All one really has to do if they are truly unsure of their bra or cup size is have a knowledgeable saleswoman do a bra fitting. They offer it for free at all of the big department stores. I once had a bra fitting with a hot-as-all-get-out Indian girl at a Macy's near me.....I kept going to all of the different racks of different bras just so that she could size me and feel me up - for free!!! If all of the bra saleswomen were that cute I'd save a ton of money by foregoing stripclubs and having bra fittings instead.

    lopaw strikes again.

    Turned an ordinary post into one that made me laugh out loud.

    You're on a run lately. Don't stop.

    I remember when I started Jr. High School back in the '50's. My mother gave my money to go down to the local men's store to buy a jock strap for gym. Wouldn't you know it. I got a female sales person and she asked me what size I needed. She could see how red my face got and told me it goes by waist size.

    I truely enjoy buying matching bra and panties for my girl. I have a friend that sells high end lingerie and she said that most women have no idea how to buy a proper fitted bra. My ex wife had been buying 34b for many years, I had her fitted and it turned out she was a 36d. No wonder she hated wearing a bra.

    Different size breasts wear different cup sizes, different shaped breasts wear different fit bras (demi, push up, full cup, etc.).

    Just FYI. :)

    No, tsepmet1..... demi cups, push ups, plunging, etc are different STYLES of bras chosen to attain a certain look, not necessarily for different shapes. They are sold to try and enhance a look or to give small boobied women the illusion of fuller or larger boobs. But you get an "A" for effort.

    The truth about bra cup sizing:

    A = Awful
    B = Better
    C = Cute
    D = Desirable
    DD = Delightful and Desirable
    E = Exceptional
    F = Fantastic
    G = Golly!

    The largest bra I ever saw can be viewed on www.google.com/maps using the street view feature. Go to 1530 S. Myrtle Ave., Monrovia, CA. It's a very small store that makes custom fitted bras. Look in the left of its two windows to the left of the door, and you'll see it. The store name is "Creative Woman--Bra Wizard." I used to pass by it regularly en route to strip clubs in Arcadia, CA. Driving eastbound on the I-210 Fwy., exiting at Myrtle Ave., you can't miss it at the end of the off-ramp.​ The image date is August 2012. It's still the same as when I last saw it in 2004.

    Kramer and Frank can't decide whether to call it "the bro" or "the manssiere."

    I think more like:
    A=Adequate
    B=Beautiful
    C=Copious
    D=Delightful
    DD=Dubiously Diffident
    E=Excessive
    F=Frightening
    G=Go Away

    When you get above DD you almost always have 1 of 3 things going on:
    1} Manmade "enhanced" plastic mammaries - I seldom get dances from these
    2} Fat - I do not get dances from girls that are bigger than me.
    3} Pregnant or Nursing - Got one of the hottest dances ever from a girl three months along - Flat belly, large very sensitive breasts/nipples and horny in the extreme! I did not know until later during the dance session that she was pregnant!... But that is another story.

    I hate to brag, but I usually score 80% or higher on my Breast Size tests.

    Oh, and like Crazyjoe, I'm a breast lover.

    I have worked as a "bra specialist" and I've learned 75% of women and 95% of men are completely clueless about bra sizes.
    Like for me, I would say most men would guess I'm a full C or maybe a D. Before I knew my real size I was wearing around a 36C, but I'm actually a 32DDD or 32E because my ribcage is more petite. However, a woman with the same size breasts as me but a wider ribcage could wear a 34DD, 36D, 38C, ect.

    The A, B, C, etc. should correspond to cup volume, not the difference between bust and band circumferences.

    @ilbbaincnl Cup size is literally determined through measuring tightly just above the bust and subtracting that number from the fullest part around the bust. Each inch difference is a cup size.

    I believe in evolution. And something has always bothered me. Over millions of years, man (well, women) has evolved through natural selection and breasts evolved accordingly. Humans did not use bras until the past 100 years or so. Why do modern women feel the need.

    Boobs are becoming bigger - some say it is because of better nutrition (fat people not included.)

    Boobs are also sprouting out earlier - 12 year olds and shit getting full sets. Again because of better nutrition (and probably due to the additives in milk, but that is my pet theory!)

    A wide range of answers. I guess the panel of self-professed experts did not reach a consensus. Kind of like a roomful of economists.

    @Rach the concept just escapes me. Maybe I would get it if you let me practice finding your size :) .
