My latest attempt, following this guide:
http://www.brasizecalculator.tk/
1. Under Snug = 34"
2. Under Tight = 31"
3. Across Standing = 37"
4. Bent Over @ 90° = 37.5"
5. Laying on my Back = 37"
Estimated Bra Size
32D/DD
Nearest Sister Sizes
34C/D 30DD/E
There is no way that can be accurate! I'm a 140-145lb male, 5'10". I couldn't hold a pencil underneath without it instantly falling.. I can't just go try on a bunch of bras, as the wife is still very uncomfortable with the situation. Any ideas on what I can do?
Thank you!
Women's clothing measurements are such a pain in the butt. Anyways, I too struggled with finding the right bra size. I followed someone's post on here and went with a band size that went along with my measurement at the tightest, which happens to be a 36. I measure a 41 at the center.
Results from various sites:
40 DD
36 DD
and 40B (This site measured differently, you enter bottom, middle and top)
Yet, none of these are accurate. The 40 fits lose, but the cups are way too big. Guesstimating I figure I am a AA, maybe an A. 36A, I am somewhat full, 38A, cups have more room. Good luck in finding a 38AA, ha ha. So the difference of the middle and bottom is 5, so maybe that's AA, then 6 would be A, 7 B, etc.? ;-) Again that's at a tight measurement for bottom. Non tight I measure 38.
When you start looking to purchase read users reviews, they are helpful in identifying if you may have to go up in a band size or not. As for the cups, it's your best guestimate. Going based on my own self observations, you'd probably fit a 32A, maybe a 32B. Hope that helps.
