What is the PERFECT size?

***LittleMissSummer*** · August 10th, 2011, 09:46 AM

A silly FB status has got me thinking, well more a comment made by DP's cousin has got me thinking..

Have u ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, G, and H are the Letters used to define bra sizes? But couldn't figure out what the letters stood for. Well its time you became informed! (A) Almost tits. (B) Barely there. (C) Can't Complain! (D) Damn! (DD) Double Damn!(E) Enormous! (F) Fake. (G) Get a Reduction. (H) Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up!

Her comment was: Well considering most supermodels cup sizes range from A-C, I would say my B's are the BEST. B's look good in a bra & out of one, they don't hurt while running, which I run alot, don't get in the way of laying on my tummy.

I commented back with: I'm a DD/E and i haven't had any complaints with a bra on or off. With running if you wear a decent sports bra it doesn't hurt and i have no trouble laying on my tummy the only time i couldn't was when i was 6+ months pregnant.

What size are you? Do you like it, want to be bigger? smaller? What are the perks of your size and what are the negatives?

I think the negatives to my size are when i walk they bounce, some men stare at my chest rather than my face. Finding a bra to fit them can be hard, and finding a NICE one can be really hard.

Oh I've seen this around a lot lately and I hate it!! I am usually E-F and they are NOT FAKE!! Bigger when pregnant and breastfeeding. I would like them to be a bit smaller but would never consider surgery. That being said, I am a tummy sleeper and a runner and have no problems there so your friends comment is a bit silly. I too get frustrated that its not easy to just walk into any old store and buy a pretty bra, and when I do find one it's usually at least double the price!!
I know this status thing is meant to just be a bit of a joke, but it actually bothers me quite a bit

I'm generally a 12-14 DD/E. It really depends on the bra for me. Some brands I've even been a 16 around the back. Honestly, I'd prefer smaller, a C or large B. I find I can't get into a lot of cute tops I like because of my breasts, lots of styles don't suit. They make me feel very top heavy and they can sometimes get unwanted attention.

But hey, they make milk!! That's probably their biggest attribute. They feed, nourish and comfort my child, which all breasts can do, big small or inbetween. To me that makes all boobs the Best

I've seen this status and I just think I don't really care what the 'perfect' size is, it's not a competition. Mine work for me just fine!

Oh well, time to get a breast reduction apparently

Who makes up this crap?

I was most happiest with my B size as well, they weren't small but not huge either. I'm hoping when i lose weight they shrink although DP won't be happy!

hes a boobs man

tits, tits, tits

TITTIES!!!

That cracked me up!

Mine were a B before DD came along, and I thought they were good but a tad small - they didn't look right in some tops. Now they're a C and I love them! They just have a better shape now and look better in those tops.

That being said, I hate that joke too, and agree that it was most likely written by some young fella. I'm just happy my DH loves mine whatever size

You know what, thinking about it more, I reckon the perfect size depends on the person. Gwyneth Paltrow's aren't huge, but any bigger than they are wouldn't look right. And Sophia Vergara's aren't exactly small, but any smaller wouldn't look right you know?

I'm an A, and a small one at that

In school I was pretty self conscious about it, but these days I don't care. There's nothing to sag, I've never had any problems with exercising, I can sleep on my belly, and no one ever talks to my chest!

It is a pain when bra shopping - it's very hard to find ones that fit, and most manufacturers assume that if you're on the small side you must want a phone book worth of padding
