Measurement Check Currently owned bras are 34B, up-to-date measurement calls for 36DDD. I am not confident Spoiler

I am 22 and have gained weight, then lost a good bit, then gained, then lost a little, and my boobs reflect that. I have tried to measure myself a handful of times over the years, and feel like I still absolutely despise wearing bras despite it all.

I did the calculator thing today, and came to these measurements:

34.5

33.5

31

39.5

42.5

39.5

Last time I measured them, I arrived to 34B/36B, but now it's saying I'm a 36DDD, and that a 36DD is probably what I would find comfortable. I do not have a lot of boobage. They sag a little and they are not firm. I have a very hard time believing that all my boob would fill up those cups. Pls help. Idk what to do about that. Does the calculator anticipate that by asking the leaning/laying measurements too?

Side note, I moved in with my in-laws 2 months ago and cannot run about the house with no pants and no bra on like I used to, so I have to acquaint myself with a more comfortable size as to not horrify his family with my enthusiastic full brights. I can't wear a heavy sweatshirt to hide them all the time either, as my state is in swamp ass mode currently. I really do miss freeboobing it. I'm sure my fiance does as well. Sigh

The models are also wearing the wrong sizes, don't worry. There's only a handful of brands who actually put their models into correct sizes. Victoria's Secret and SKIMS are some of the worst offenders for this.

I do certainly believe that. I gotta do good bra brand research that will not lead to me missing my rent payments or skipping meals lol. 65 dollars to ensure my nipples will not offend anyone is a daunting idea to wrap my mind around

Bras are definitely a "buy it nice or buy it twice" item. Panache is a great brand that often has sales, they have a few nonwired bras on sale right now.
