A bra that fits calculator? -
flamesabers - 09-02-2020
Hello all,
Has anyone tried this online bra calculator?
https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php
Here are my measurements (in inches) for US system.
Loose Underbust: 36.5
Snug Underbust: 36
Tight Underbust: 34.5
Standing Bust: 38.5
Leaning Bust: 41
Lying Bust: 39
For the male option it suggested 36C. For the female option it was 36DD!
I think the 36C is a reasonable ballpark figure. However, I think 38A or 38B bras are a more practical size for me.

Your suggested starting size is: 38DDD in standard US sizing
I wish. I can still squeeze into a 38A, though I think a 40A would work better though is next to impossible to find.
I mainly just wear bralettes and sports bras sized XXL. I'm starting to think standard sized bras just don't work for some trans women.

Thank you. Mine does seem to fit quite well with what I currently wear.
Your suggested starting size is: 48C/D in UK sizing

Yeah, one of my friends was told to wear a 32DD, yet she isn't even fitting a B-cup. I think the problem is that it doesn't want us to measure the body width.

Flame .... Good to see you’re posting again!
How is your progress coming along?
I tried that calculator. Thank you for posting it. Standard measurements indicate that I’m a 46B. That calculator said I’m a 44B. The link stated that, “
Due to the limitations of this calculator, the algorithm for people who were assigned male at birth is less accurate”. I don’t think there’s any way around this for us fellas.
I just ordered (another) bra, using the Sister Sizing method. For a 46B, my sister size is a 44C. So, hopefully I’ll be able to get one that fits, one day. Until then, I stick with the one size fits all sports bra selections. Sigh.

Hi Stevenator.
I think I'm making progress if according to my measurements, I'm a B cup now.

Maybe it's just a mental thing, but it doesn't look like I have B-cup breasts though.
