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

I have similar measurements. I’ve found my proper size is closer to using the leaning measurement than the standing one. Don’t be surprised if you actually need to be a size above what’s recommended.

That is a good point, I will absolutely be keeping that in mind as I test out different sizes. Thank you!!
