-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to : tiny_tigerlilyThat's really weird, I measure 29 inches under my boobs and 32.5 across them and I just manage to fill a 34A... maybe we're using different tape measures. Marshall - yes, the bandwidth will affect your cup size. A 34B is the same breast size as a 36A, the only difference between these two sizes isa 2 inch largerribcage diameter.And you know what's even weirder than that? I measure 29 inches under my boobs and I'm 34 inches across them and I can barely fill a 34 A. If I breath out first, I'm 33 inches across. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found the MOST accurate measurement for band width is the measurement above your boobs directly around from armpit to armpit. No adding, no figuring out what the dang tape says! When I was a 36, it said "36", now that I am a 34 it says "33"...and I have to use the farthest hook on my bra. Try that way of measuring see what you get. It really is the easiest way, the tape doesn't slip cuz it's directly in your pits, you know it's straight cuz it's under both pits and wrapped around your back! Even when I went to get professionally measure, she measured my rib cage, then to verify measured the way I just described...and it was 34.
There is a link to sites on sizing and shows how to measure in this fashion on the "links" section. In fact there are several!

And according to the underarm measurements I am a 32 band and a 33.5" - the other way of measuring across just the breast is 7.5" each breast... who knows... maybe all my B's shrank in the wash and I am an A - I will go get professionaly measured... It's just weird because the 34 C I bought is comfy - maybe it just fits cuz it is padded and runs small...?

Like Momi said, depend on the bra manufactures I guess ..... I'm wearing 32AA, which is the smallest I can find here. My measurements are: rib cage = 26" , fullest part of bust = 28" I put these numbers for one of the website to do the calculation and guess what??? It pop up this "The measurements you entered do not calculate to a valid bra size. Please re-measure and check entries for accuracy" They do not have a bra size for me? Do I need to wear one??? Well..... I re-measure and re-measure and re..... but the number couldn't go up any higher I wish I can give them the second # bigger ....... some day Tini-Tiny

Date Posted: 10/24/2003 4:42 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok so I got professionaly measured and they told me I am a 34B. The bra that I bought that is a 34C fits - but it must run small - I tried on another 34C and there were a few small wrinkles... I am going to finish off my herbs, try the new quickbust tablets I got with hypnosis for 3 months after that and if still no success well - IMPLANTS for me!!! I am getting too old and frustrated to play this game anymore!!!! Also www.investinmychest.com or www.ipayforimplants.com is where I started anyway! lilsx1

Lilsx,
Why would you quit when you've gotten GROWTH? Did you already order Quickbust? Would you mind posting your routine in "routines". If you are fitting in 34c's with small wrinkles! That is WAY cool! CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations!

I went to the first site, but not the second. I had no idea that such a site existed. I think it is hilarious and if those girls actually get their implants paid for by complete strangers...more power to them!!!! How funny.
Good luck if you decide to join that board!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey lilsx1! I think u are doing great on BE and should give it some more time........this does take time and unfortunately doesn't happen overnight like we'd love to! You haven't been on the herbs very long at all and you've responded really well!.........Most people don't respond that quickly! Chickydee

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ooooh I don't know - I actually started herbs before my wedding - so it was in June or the end of June at a 32B and I know that the only difference between a 32B and 34B is band size... I was excited about the C bra but if it just runs small and the other one had a few small wrinkles, it doesn't count. As far as posting my routine - I haven't yet, because I honestly don't have one - I take at least 600mg a day of Fenugreek, red clover, wild yam and saw palmetto - then I take 1300mg each of EPO and flax oil... I don't massage at all... I know BAD!!! But I did get my quickbust and I still have the hypnosis so once I get that routine going if I have any more success I will let you know and I will post a routine once I am on it and have success... as far as getting implants paid - I am sitting at almost $10 donations and I had the guy from the other website email me and am waiting on further information for maybe getting them completely paid. I don't have a whole lot of patience any more!!! But I do like the herbs simply because they have balanced out my mood to the point it amazes both me and my husband! *lol* If you want my "routine" as it stands you can just copy the above info. IM me at either this site or lilsx1 on yahoo IM and email me at shawnzgirl@charter.net and I will be happy to answer questions or help anyone out if I can.... I just found that the lower dosages of herbs and the hypnosis with massages a couple times a week or at least once a week with a heating pad worked - I also drink soda and love my hersheys with almonds!!!! Wishing everyone else the breast of luck though!!!

mommabean and tinytigerlily - since I noticed you guys measured about the same around as I did - do you measure the same across the front, like diameter wise?
I am 7.5" per boob (hehe, for lack of better word, I guess...)

gave the reasons why it should be avoided - but to be perfectly honest, I've never bothered to avoid it, myself.
I've been known to wash down my capsules WITH coffee, so there you go.

Oh, just found this. I measure 6 1/2 across each breast if I only measure the fatty tissue. If I measure from the outside of fatty tissue to the center of the chest exactly it will be 7 or 7 1/2 inches depending on the time of the month. I think even diameter measuring has been a little misleading for some of us since we never quite know if someone is measuring to the center of the sternum or to the point where they can find some breast tissue. Which isn't always easy for me if you know what I mean.
I hope this was an offer of something helpful. I'm trying.

I bend over to see where the tissue begins and start the tape there. Then I stand up, wrap it over and mark where the breast curves in and hits the rib cage.
Measuring to the middle of the sternum would give me false hope (and an oversized and uncomfortable bra).

Yep, that's how I do it too! Bend over slightly, feel the bubble by pit, and put right where my boob begins to rise. I think that's an accurate measurement Still holding at 10" YEAH! Be back on the BE Train around Thanksgiving. Maybe...I am NOT pill free...sheesh! What I take while on break...
