People down voting you? Do they not realize this is a serious medical condition and does create back pain?

Comment on What is the actual point of a bra?

I’ve got a childhood friend who got a reduction because she had back problems after she went through puberty, and it basically led to her having chronic pain for a while in college. She’s WAY happier at a C-cup than whatever size she had before.

Upvoted, friend. And happy your friend is doing better and is happier, but if a C is her happy place, how big were they? That sounds sucky

Friendly reminder that C cup has no meaning without a band size.

Someone already mentioned that cup size has no meaning without band size, but also want to help dispel the myth that D is a “large” size.
The rule of thumb is that your cup size is the difference between the size of your rib cage and the size around your chest. Then it’s 1” per cup, with caveats and adjustments, but we’re talking basics.
So in reality a C cup is a 3” difference between ribcage and breasts. That’s pretty modest. However in media, it’s often played up that DD is your Playboy model size, but those are more likely to be a G cup or larger, at least if they were sized correctly.

Yeah I am a certified member of the itty bitty committee and am currently in a perfectly fit 34D, and my measurements would put me in 32DD.
Those letters just don’t really mean anything without the band size. Nobody, literally nobody, would look at me and think “D cup”.
Bras really need more than two measurements. I need the band of a 32-34, the wire diameter dimensions of a 34D and the volume of what I think of as a 34 B. I can find this in particular models of bras but it would be nice to have it on the label.

I had a gf like that. It made total sense to me even though I never saw her before the reduction. She was quite happy with it as well.

Probably because it does nothing to answer the question and the only relating component is that your talking about boobs.

I intended on tying that into weight support, but I suppose that wasn’t terribly clear
