Well I got my delivery and I'm more than a little disapointed to find that the best fit band size is 46 😥 I'm halfway between a 44 and a 46 sadly but I am on the diet full time now and my mind has focused in on the weight loss goal. To get back down to 36 again would be awesome.
My instinct about the cup size was bang on though, I am definitely a UK E cup so new bra size is, drumroll please.... 46 E which according to conversion charts is 46 DDD/F in US money. I must say I am a little astounded I have had that much growth in my late 40's. They will shrink as I slim but so will the surrounding area so I am likely to stay around an E cup even after I've lost the weight, give or take a cup size. Plus I still have boob growth pain even after 4 years and Tanner stage V.
The bra feels amazing! I think all my other bras have been trying to cut me in two and the wires sticking into the sides of my boobs weren't fun either.
So the moral of the story is bra calculators are a complete and utter waste of time for us trans women. Buy three bras the same and pick the best fit is the easiest course of action I think! The good news is that, as the largest is my size, I can slim into the other ones as I loose weight so no money wasted really. plus the bras were on sale too.
