Is the bra size 32F normal for a 14-year-old girl?
Well, 32 is very normal. The number part of bra size is determined from measuring below the breasts, around the ribcage. You take that number and add four or five (to get an even number.) So, you measure 27-28 inches around under your breasts. The letter is for the difference between the band size (the number) and the measurement around the fullest part of the breasts. A = 1 inch, B = 2 inches etc. Now. F is the seventh letter of the alphabet so that would make your upper measurement 39 inches. Most people, unless they are pregnant, nursing or overweight, do not have a size D. 34-B is the most frequently bought size, although a lot of people wear the wrong size. From my years working at VC I can say that there are a lot of A's and C's buying B's. Anything from a C and up can be an issue for back problems. D's and higher almost always are. They can injure your back, spine, shoulders and sometimes the chest muscles. It is cruical that you be fitted for a proper bra and the check the fit with a specialist every six months. You are carrying a lot of weight and you are still growing (not just breasts but height, weight and such can also alter your size) so you might not be able to buy one and have it fit for years. There are a lot of places that make bra sizes for people with cup sizes you just can't find in the mall. Try to get one with wide straps. The bra is supposed to hold your breasts up by pushing up from you ribcage, not pulling up from the shoulders. The straps are just to keep the cups over the breasts. The band should stay in place even when the straps are off. If you are using your shoulders to hold up your breasts it will put permanent grooves into them and be almost as uncomfortable as being bra-less. Hope this helps!
AnswerHello,Every Bra size is normal hun. The rate that your breasts grow out depends on how quickly you develop through Puberty. Also if your Mother has large breasts then there is a good chance you may do too.
AnswerI'm also 14 years old and the same bra size. Many people have told me that my chest is pretty big, but I don't think it's not normal, it's just genes. My mom and sister are size H ( I know, it's huge :P) so I know I got it from my momma (:I would prefer not to have them so big but I think if you work out alot thy shouldn't get much bigger, because most athlete women have almost no boobs.
Answer"You take that number and add four or five (to get an even number.) So, you measure 27-28 inches around under your breasts."I can't let this slide. I work in clothing design and I have to point out that the above is a very outdated system. Bra band sizes now a days are taken from your under bust directly. ie...if your under bust measures 32in your a 32 band.
Your cup size is 1 cup for ever inch larger your full bust is than your under bust. 1-A, 2-B, 3-C 4-D 5=DD 6-DDD or E depending on the country, and a 7 inch difference is an F
a 32 F is entirely normal it's what I wear, odds are they sound bigger than they look.
Common mistakes..
1. If my under wire digs into my under arm my cup size must be to big...WRONG, it is more likely your band size is too large.
2. Most of the support on a bra comes from the straps ...NOPE... support comes mostly from the band. For proper support the band should sit straight across your back and not rainbow up.
3. You want a band size you can clasp on the middle row of hooks.....Also not true. The right band size should only clasp on the first row. The next few row are so as the bra gets older and the elastic wears out you can still receive the same amount of support you did when it was new.
AwnserAwww, I know how you feel hun, I'm exactly the same :) Embrace it, you know, rather that than be a 28AA :D AnswerI think that's a little big but not too bad. My girlfriends sizes go as follows:
Age 11: 34c
Age 12: 36d
Age 13 (now): 36dd
and im fine with it. i actually quite like her big boobs. But she is extremely young for a grade 9, which she is, and she is 3 cup sizes bigger than any other girls in grade 9.
get a measuring tape preferably the ones that are made out of fabric so they're easy to bend and wear a bra that has the least padding. wrap the tape around your band PARALLEL to the ground (make sure the tape doesn't go higher in the back or anything like that). your band size is the number that it is the most comfortable yet form fitting to your body. if it's an odd number add one inch.
for example my band size was 27 so i rounded it to 28
next measure your bust at the most prominent point of your breasts (ie the area that sticks out the most) so you'll get the highest number. make sure the tape is also parallel to the ground (measuring at the bust is most difficult to get it parallel. i found my tape would slip up on one side or droop down in the back). fit the tape tightly but also comfortably. same as the band, if you get an odd number, round up.
mine was 31 so i didn't need to round up.
if there is a 1 inch diff between the band and cup for example band is 30 and cup is 31, you are an A
2 inches - B
3 - C
4 - D
and so forth to 11 inches which is K
oh and most places in the US will replace an E cup with a DD and a F cup with a DDD for some reason. i guess for psychological purposes? i have no idea why
MY SIZE: because my band was 28 inches (rounded up to the even number) and the bust was 31 inches, I am a 28C. 28 for the band and C because 31 - 28 = 3.
ps, if you want to skip all of this and go to an establishment like Victoria's Secret to fit you, be warned they will compromise your correct size in order to sell you product. With me, they measured me as a 32 B because they don't sell 28's and this was the closest they had. oh. and they won't tell you that's not your actual size.
What is the average bra size for a 12 year old girl?
It will always vary from person to person and factors such as when you started puberty, what your diet is, genetic factors, and countless others. I would say just be happy with who you are and what you have and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
Do custom bras fit better than commercial bras?
they do but you can try a commercial bra if you want to see for your self. Custom fit bras come in over 300 sizes, whereas commercial bras typically have less than 40. Also a custom fit bra uses less elastic and does not stretch out of shape over time, so they fit right for the life of the bra.
It depends on what kind that they are. It's important to choose the right size and type for your own personal preference.
Depends entirely on which country you live in to give you 3 examples
Russia is a 32b
USA is a 36C
UK is 34D
When do you get your daughter her first bra?
When her breasts begin to move under her sweater or blouse. Sometimes they just want to feel grown-up so let her get her first bra (semi-padded) if she wants one.
I have two daughters and I see no reason why they would need any padding at all on a bra. They wear a bra for 3 reasons:
1. so they don't feel naked when they change for gym/P.E. at school in front of the other girls.
2. because at their age nipples may be sensitive and hurt if they bump into something - locker door, friends, seatbelt, etc.
3. So they have a nicer shape under their clothes instead of new breast buds poking through their thin school uniform shirts.
What they wear is a bralette or sports bra. It does not have cups. We got them at Target about $6 for a 2-pack.

What is the smallest cup size in bras?
The smallest cup size available is AA, as it means there is a 0 inch difference between the ribcage and the bust. Not all AAs are the same size though, as the cup size is relative to the band size. A 36AA is much larger than a 24AA, and a 36AA holds the same amount of breast tissue as a 34A, 32B, 30C, 28D, 26DD, and 24E, otherwise known as "sister sizes".
People who truly fit in AA or A cups are very rare, and are called "unicorns" in the online bra fitting community. A large number of muscled men would be able to fit into DD cups. Plenty of non-muscled men as well, so you can see how AA and As are fairly rare.
Important to note is the "AAA" cups you sometimes see make no logical sense, as it means a -1 difference between ribcage and bust. This size is spawned from people fitting ladies incorrectly (adding inches to the ribcage). If a retailer sells "AAA" cup bras, I would be extremely weary of letting their fitters near you with a measuring tape, as there is a very good chance they will put you in the wrong size bra.
How do you determine your bra size?
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape straight across and around your back, bringing it to the front. 2. Subtract your band measurement (from step 1) from this bust measurement. The difference calculates your bra size- each inch represents a cup size.
How do you find your bra size?
get a measuring tape preferably the ones that are made out of fabric so they're easy to bend and wear a bra that has the least padding. wrap the tape around your band PARALLEL to the ground (make sure the tape doesn't go higher in the back or anything like that). your band size is the number that it is the most comfortable yet form fitting to your body. if it's an odd number add one inch.

Does a size 38A bra mean that you are big breasted?
No. An "A" means you have just an inch difference between your chest and your breast area. B is 2 inches, C is 3 inches, D is 4 inches, etc.
A is small. AA is smaller ANSWER: The number in front of the letter is the measurement around the area right under your breasts.

Which bra size is bigger 38d or 36dd?
They are sister sizes, meaning interchangeable. It depends on how you want the bra to fit. Say your band measures at 36.5 inches and your bust measures at 41.5 Inches there is a 5 inch difference between the two so an inch for every cup size (a,b,c,d,dd). If you try in the 36dd and it is a little tight around the band you could go up to a 38d to make it more comfortabl.
What website has a funny bra size joke?
There may be some on this site. Here is one:
A man was looking for bras for his wife and was overwhelmed at the sheer number of bras in the shop. So he asked for assistance. The shop keeper said they only had 3 denominations of bras. He said you could think of them like Catholics, the Salvation Army, and the Baptists. "You see, the Catholic bras are for the masses, the Salvation Army bras help lift the fallen, and the Baptist bras make mountains out of molehills."
If your breasts are two different sizes should your bra size fit the larger or smaller breast?
Pretty much all women have that, but go buy the bigger one and stuff the smaller. Otherwise the bigger one will spill over and then you get a "double," which does not look good.
