What cup size is right for me?
I think it is B and in most cases I fill the cup. I am currently wearing a Triumph underwired 44B which fits me perfectly but I have a Triumph 44B All-in-One in which I hardly fill the cups. How do other fare?

Re: What cup size is right for me?
Cup size by its very nature is relative -- so many inches larger than the base measurement defines the cup size. Now in looking at the question, the right size again is relative. Skinny girls don't necessarily look good with a B or larger. Bigger girls sometimes don't even look like they have breasts if they are a B or smaller. So the first thing is to get your breasts not too big and not too small for your body. Then you can decide if you want to be above average, below average or just average.
When I got my first breast, I decided to be average and if my choices were only larger or smaller than average, I wanted to be smaller. I wasn't interested in showing off my girls, just that I had them in the first place. Since that time at least a decade ago, I have managed to fatten up so I needed new breasts. Again, I sized them to be no more than average. Cup size now? Same as it was back then. A B or maybe a C depending on the bra.

Hello Kitty,
Welcome to the world off bra sizes
You just found out why 40% of woman wear a wrong bra size.If the have a 34c that fit ,bet the next wil be that size to,and as you found out the are not.
As with factory clothing its a geograpic average the use,and every factory use his own average
Even if its made in the same factory in china.
I find it hard to judge quality before bying ,and had some crapy bra,s ,thirth day the fell apart on the seams yuck. So i started to make my own bra,s
The don`t look as good but the fit great

I found the bra size problem a long time ago!I am not thinking of making my own yet. Perhaps pull-ns might be better with a one size cup. I have some Sloggi ones but the nabd only goes up to 42 & I am 44

Re: What cup size is right for me?
Oh yeah...the bra manufacturer's have NO REAL STANDARD SIZES!!! The size you see on the labels are only APPROXIMATELY the size of the bra. Also, even if you stick to one brand (Olga's, Playtex, whatever), the sizes of different models of bra are not the same!! The only way to be sure it actually fits you is: try them on!!! Grab the size you think you are, and take one a size up, and one a size down so you can try each of them on.
ARRRRGGGHHH!!!
