There’s an unimaginative old joke about bra measurements: B = Barely There, E = Enormous, G = Get a reduction, etc.
Amazingly, is bra size DDD same as G? 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.
Likewise, what cup size is bigger DD or G? 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 number is an A cup bra? It’s not as complicated as it looks. The letters – like A, B, C, D – stand for cup sizes. The numbers – like 32, 34, 36, 38 – tell you the band size – that’s the part of the bra that goes around your torso. In other words, a 34A means that your boobs are an A cup and that your bra is 34 inches around.
Additionally, is FF bigger than g? Each step is a full cup, they are NOT half cup sizes. So a G is larger than an FF.
What’s the difference between DD and E cup?
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. it depends on the maker of the bra. some makers use the letter e while others will use the dd.
What determines cup size?
Get your cup size by subtracting your band size from your bust size. If the difference is a 1 your cup size is an A, 2 a B, 3 a C, etc. This helpful chart will help you perfect the skill of calculating your cup size. Now you should have a letter and a number to use as your bra size.
Which is bigger cup A or B?
STEP 3: FIND YOUR CUP SIZE If there’s a 1-inch difference between bust and band you’re an A cup; 2-inch difference is a B cup, 3 inches is a C cup, 4 inches is a D cup, and so on. For example, if your bust measurement is 37 inches and your band is 33 inches, you would be a D cup because of the 4-inch difference.
How do you know your cup size ABCD?
- If your bust size is less than 1 inch bigger than your band size, you’re a cup size AA.
- 1-inch difference = A.
- 2-inch difference = B.
- 3-inch difference = C.
- 4-inch difference = D.
- 5-inch difference = DD.
- 6-inch difference = DDD or F.
What is a DDD cup?
A breast measurement 5 inches larger than the band size is a DD and a breast measurement 6 inches larger than the band size is a DDD. Some European brands do have E and F cups. And there is some variance in sizing among the brands.
