I just measured myself with this method and got a 27J/GG (US/UK). Yeah, let me just run out to Target and pick up a few! lol
And this is with my smaller, sportier boobs since I've been working out a lot. Before they were absolutely goddamned absurd. ABSURD. Like, the size of my head. And when I was younger and on the pill? OMG. I hate these things.
I have been measured at Victoria's Secret as a 36B, just like the girl in the video. Suuuuuuuuuure.

Okay, I went to a festival and couldn't stop thinking about my stupid bra size the whole time so I'm back.
I did the whole bend-over method and got a 40" bust. I used to BF so my breasts are just a whole bunch of empty skin drooping. It's gross. I guess I just don't see how all that empty skin could fill a bra cup in the same way someone with the same measurements, but with full breasts could.
Also, I do feel like my crazy size is accurate. I have measured using different methods over the years and always get something in that neighborhood. I just belong to an under-served demographic in the bra market so I buy whatever regular size comes close to fitting me.

I'm perplexed.
I've never had kids but I feel this way about my boobs. Then I put on my normal bra and did the scooping motion from my sides, under my arms, into my cup. My boobs over flowed my cup and looked so sad and smooshed.
Try that with your bra on and see if it fills your bra up more.
I've heard that you are supposed to buy a bra that fits on the last clasp (the one that would make it biggest) so you can move to the smaller clasps as the band elastic stretches out. fuckstick - do you know if that's true?

Yes! The whole point of having more than one column of clasps is so that as it stretches with wear, you can move inward to tighten and compensate to get longer wear out of the bra.

That's what the girl says in the video. I've learned so much today!!
I'm offering my services as boob-holder too! Don't just pick gracie 'cause she's the first bidder! Or we could split the job: one boob each. Ideas... hehe

I'm going to try this with my National Geographic boobs the next time I go to try on bras. It doesn't work very well with my current (probably too-small) bras.

Studytime45, when I saw your picture I thought - mmm, she looks like she's around my size. I wear a 40H. I'd believe your size from your picture. If you can get to a Nordstrom's or a specialty bra shop, try on not only the size the measurements say but the ones around it. (You might wear a different size in different brands, and not just because of the different sizing charts depending on the country of manufacture). When you can finally see yourself in a bra that's the right size and also compare it to the ones that are almost-but-not-quite-right you'll really see it. After years of "well, I must be a D or a DD because that's the largest size they sell" and wondering why I had so much more breast than cup - I look and feel so much better in the right bras. And actually, it was a post on here a year ago that pushed me to shop.
Is there a link to the size chart in the video? I can't do the measuring right now, would prefer to link to the size chart and not watch the whole video again. I did just check the back of my current bra, had it on the last hooks and it pulled out to about 3" from my back, moved them to the first hooks and it is a noticeable difference. I knew what the hooks were for, just hadn't checked to see if mine was stretched out a lot.
I think that video is incorrect in leaning over to measure. Mine came out as a 10/11" difference and that is too big by far--I would not nearly fill that size. I wear a G generally.
I finally watched the video and did the measurements, and I think it came out correct for me. midnightrae - My measurements are 26 band and 36 bust, which makes me a UKGG/USJ. I currently wear a UK 28G and I've noticed that I've started spilling out of them, but I can't find any bras available in a 28GG so I'm kind of stuck at this point. My boobs need to quit growing.
I measured with this method and my results were 30D. I am a tiny tittied individual, so the thought of me being in a D is kinda insane but I am super excited to try out bras in this size and see how it goes.
I got the same size, and I'm also tiny titted. I've been wearing 32B in my nursing bras.
I've debated getting a couple of nursing bras in this size, since I plan on bfing for another year.

I am in the process of taking pictures of my tits (in a shirt...sorry MWOS). I say 'in the process' because it takes some work to get in these, with the grabbing the backfat and pulling it to the front and all that, and it's 90 and I'm lazy. So I have an after. Tomorrow I'll have a before.

Don't even bother tagging me unless it's for real tits. TIA.

Watched the video, but haven't read the responses. I should be a 38F. I have a 38D that is HUGE on me, so I'm skeptical. But this week, I plan to go to kohls or somewhere and try on a ton of different sizes.

pixie My band is an inch and half bigger than it was last time I measured, so I am not the same size as you. This time I got halfs when measuring. My band was 28.5 (so I guess round up to 30?)and my bust was 36.5/37. So, I am a US 30G?
