Cup size is determined by the size of the breasts. It may be a difference of an inch or two. Just depends on how a particular company sets measurements. Supposedly, a DDD cup is the equivalent of an F cup, while an E cup will be smaller than that by a few inches.
Likewise, is DDD the same as E? It might seem confusing, but yes a DDD is the same as an F—at times they are labeled differently based on the brand. After size D you can either go up to size DD which is the bra size equivalent to size E, size DDD which is equivalent to size F, and size DDDD which is equivalent to size G.
Subsequently, what is bigger E or DDD? That is where the confusion comes in so let me make it clear. A DD cup = E for full figure bras, DDD = F, but if you are used to buying a standard bra that comes in cup sizes B-DD and no higher, there will be about a half cup size increase between the DD in a standard style and a DD/E in a full figure style.
Considering this, is DDD smaller than E? For some reason, we have been brainwashed into thinking that boob sizes go from A-DD, DD being the biggest boob/bra size. DD is actually at the lower end of the scale, there is still E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, and K cup above that.
Beside the above, what is a size E bra? Cup size is the same between U.S. and Europe/France. “A” cups (U.S.) = “A” cup in Europe/France; B=B, C=C, etc with some exceptions for “DD” and “DDD” cups. Many European brands (and some American brands) use the lettering “E” for a DD cup size and “F” for a DDD cup size.A 34E is the same as 34DD US. 1 of 3 found this helpful.
Is 32DDD the same as 32E?
Size 32E is the next size up – 32DDD/F (US).
What’s the difference between a DD and E cup?
Fundamentally, cup size is measured by the difference between your under bust (i.e. band size) and your bust – measured around the fullest part of the breasts (generally across the nipples). In the US, the DD bra cup is the same as the E bra cup. However, the DD bra cup is smaller than the E bra cup in the UK.
How much does a DDD breast weight?
DDD cups usually weigh around 5-6 pounds, which is roughly 2.5-3 pounds for each breast.
What is my correct bra size?
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band size from this measurement. Use this number to determine your cup size according to the table below. Example: if your ribcage measurement is 31, and your bust measurement is 37, your bra size is a 34C: 31+3=34, so 34 is your band size.
What bra size is equivalent to 40ddd?

What is bra size 34E?
A 34E is the sister size to a 30FF. How? The band size gives a measurement in inches in the UK – eg a 30, 32, 34 etc. These is an actual measurement around your underbust area. Your cup size, eg D, DD, E is not a measurement, it’s a ratio.
What does 32E bra size mean?
So here’s the breakdown of what a bra size really means: the number is your band size, the size of your ribcage. The letter is your cup size. Your cup size is based on the ratio of the size of your ribcage to the size of your bust. Your bra size, be it 32E or 38G, functions as a kind of code describing this ratio.
