I'm a size 6-8 and every 32" band bra I have digs into me even on the largest hook. I even got a bra extendeder for my 32D boux avenue bra and it still dug in so everyones comments about small back sizes have me confused! Currently wearing 34C Victoria's Secret PINK bras which are a bit gapey on the cup but the band is comfortable at least, think I'm definitely going to give Boob or bust a go after reading this thread!

I think the general rule of thumb is likely to be that your dress size plus 20 is roughly your back size, so eg a size 12 would likely be a 32 back
The back fat is possibly migrated breast tissue so you need a bigger cup.I have back fat. I have big boobs on a small ribcage (currently well insulated) so for the band to provide any support it has to be tight which does result in back fat.
Wow - never knew this!
It’s not. I scoop all my tissue round.
I'm the same. A size 6-8 and wear a 32B, but I still feel that some (though not all) of my bras dig in too. My friend is a size 12-14 and a 32DD. I'm about 8 stone and she's around 11. We can't figure out how we have the same back size. I'm only 5'3" though and she's 5'10", so unless that's something to do with it?
That’s mental I’m a 10/12 on top. But I wear a 34. A 32 is painfully uncomfortable and a 30 wouldn’t even do up
Oh god this is all so confusing
Thanks for all the advice. Will defo try sizing up a cup size instead of up a band/down a cup. I think I might try Boob or Bust too.

Yeah I'm 8/10 and wear a 32That’s mental I’m a 10/12 on top. But I wear a 34. A 32 is painfully uncomfortable and a 30 wouldn’t even do up
I’ve been wearing 32C primark bras for years but boob or bust is telling me I’m a 28G. I don’t want to believe it because now I’m going to have to spend more than £2.50 on a bra!
I wear a UK 8-10 in clothes though so I guess the 28 band makes sense after what I’ve read here.. it’s all so bloomin confusing!

Further to this I ordered a bra in the size it suggested and it fits like a glove.I’ve just tried the boob or bust method. I usually wear a 36C altho probably do need to go down a band size as they’re really loose after weight loss.
But it came out as a 32GGsurely my current bras can’t be that out?
WTF!!!
Delighted to hear that!!Further to this I ordered a bra in the size it suggested and it fits like a glove.
WTF!!!
My order didn't arrive so I will have to wait until Tuesday to find out!Will it not come tomorrow?Delighted to hear that!!
Honestly my mind is blown
even when I got it out the packet I was like “no way, there’s no chance…” but it actually does fit perfectly 
Hi everyone, best place to buy black leggings from nowadays? Not for the gym but day to day wear. I've had Love Leggings before and disappointingly they fell apart. Also used to love Topshop ones but reviews online suggest they're tit now.
Got mine from Next
Spanx leggings "look at me" are amazing. Full coverage, wash very well. They're expensive but worth it. You can always pick up a pair on vinted too.
The boob or bust topic. I did the measurements yesterday. I usually wear a 36D bra. It suggested I wear a 32G I’m nervous about buying one. Has anyone done what it suggested and found it to be the best ?
Yes. It’s fantastic. Their measurements guve a lovely snug fit. I couldn’t believe the smaller band size - pure magic!
From behind the paywall - Nadine Baggott best buys etc - glowing top to toe. I have the Gatineau self tanner. It’s meh for me.
Yep! i used to wear 34/36E but with this i meausred 32H and it fits so well. Its amazing what a decent fitting bra can do for an outfit!
I have converted all my family to it. I meausre everyone
What size top do you wear?
