If you believe that "Double Ds are HUGE!", please read on. DD is an extremely common bra cup size. ...well, it's commonly needed, but unfortunately, it's not commonly sold. This is because bra companies lie. Companies like Victoria's Secret make a very limited size range, and then use horribly inaccurate sizing methods to squeeze women into bras that don't fit. About 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size, and most probably don't know it. They are taught that bras are 'meant to be uncomfortable'; that 'band sizes below a 32 are for someone incredibly skinny'; that 'double Ds are ginormous!' These are all lies. Women needing band sizes below a 32 are incredibly common, as are double Ds and above. Bras that fit should also be comfortable. Don't believe me? I was sized at a 32D. I wore the bra for a day or two, then went braless until I could replace it, because it hurt my back and shoulders and rendered me almost unable to sit up straight. I had been told that this was my size. I had been told that this was normal. But I did some research, and it turns out I was lied to. I found that I was a 28G (I've now changed sizes slightly), and once I found and bought and wore bras in that size, I was finally happy with my bras. The pain was gone. If you are in the wrong size, you may have gotten used to the pain and therefore no longer notice it, but trust me: you will notice when it leaves. Please- wear a bra that fits. :)

Victoria's Secret?

I'm considering getting 'sized' at Victoria's Secret for the lulz, just to see what they'd put me in.  However, I am bad at predicting my emotions and I don't know if I'll laugh, cry, rage, hallucinate, or some combination.  Probably some combination, as it REALLY hurts me how many women are sized incorrectly in bras that cause them pain.  If my readers (if they exist...) want me to, though, I will go there and get 'sized'.  Anyone interested?  Also, I will soon be reviewing the Freya Lyla Underwire Plunge Balcony Bra AA4301, which arrived and fits in the band! :D  Slightly too big in the cups, but oh well.  The band fits me!

    I've been thinking of doing the same thing! Go ahead, I would like to know what they put you in. Their website says how to "measure" yourself with their method. I tried it, and it got me a band size 10" too large!
