What? Is a C cup considered small these days?

My bra size is technically a 32DD at Victoria's Secret, but I don't "look" like a DD, I look more like a C because the band is so small, but for a narrow girl, they're probably sizable. I hear so many girls on here saying they're self conscious about being a C cup. Gosh, now I feel awful. I had no idea this was considered small! WTF lol

  • Get pregnant and all of it will change anyways lol. In all honesty, when I was a bigger 34C I did think they were small even though I could fit into some 32D bras. Luckily no one else agreed with me. Now, its a whole other story.. My 34D bras are getting at bit snug and I'm crossing into DD territory. I don't even want to know what's going to happen when my milk comes in (I've read that your boobs can actually get like a whole size bigger soon after you deliver).

    Another thing that girls don't realize though, if you ask a sizing specialist they will tell you that say you wear a size 32B well a size 34B is nearly the same size as a 32C. It's really complicated and I don't know if those sizes are exactly correct but you get the idea. 34C same as a 32D.. As the strap size goes up, the cup size actually does get a little bit bigger. At least that's what a sizing specialist at a maternity store explained to me.

    According to a site I just read (type in 'average breast size of women' in Google).. The average breast size for a woman is a 34B.

    • Yeah apparently most women pick a bra that is too large around and too small in the cup. And yeah, breast milk will make you go up a few sizes easy!

    • Yeah I was reading that women are subconsciously afraid of having too big of breasts just the same as they don't want them to be too small. As long as I have something there I really don't care lol.. Ah.. I am so not looking forward to how big they are gonna get lol..

    • That's just a common misconception, breast feeding doesn't change your breasts, it's the pregnancy alone that changes it.

  • Well I think you have to look at the source though. Sometimes the girls on here don't exactly have the most accurate ideas of what is normal.

    If they are 5 pounds overweight they act like they should be fitted for a Jazzie scooter. Or if they have stretch marks on their thighs, they act like they got acid thrown on them and are deformed for life!

    No, a C is not small. I've always heard guys say it was the ideal size. Once they get any bigger guys start giggling like school girls and the sight of them bouncing. I think they can still keep their head on straight with a C cup.

    • I got huge breasts and mine don't bounce when I walk though, but that's just because I wear good bras. And most girls also wear the wrong bra size, and although guys don't know much about bras a lot of girls don't know a lot about bra sizes either. It's depressing really.

    • Yeah it must be your bras cause I get the giggling school girls when I walk past a group of guys. But mine are newly bigger. I've never been small on top but they have gotten bigger as I've aged so I've noticed the difference between guys just looking vs. guys almost tripping over their own feet, falling off the curb as they walk by, elbowing a friend, kind of looking.

    • Most guys like large breasts you sound jealous

  • I'm 14 almost 15, tall, and slender. And at Victoria's Secret I'm also a 32DD or 32DDD, but for other brands I'm just a regular 32C or 32D. Victoria's Secret tends to like to exaggerate their sizes to make girls feel better about themselves. Considering the fact that we're both narrow, a C-cup would be a perfect fit. Not to large so your body looks to unbalanced. So I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Well, I hope that helped! :)

  • The average American woman is now around 170 lbs, while 5'4".

    See where this is going?

    32 DD suggests you're thin with quite large breasts.

    The average p*rn star is a 34B btw.

  • If those are considered small, there is a very big problem somewhere. For the record, I hate fake water balloons.

    Be happy with your B cups ladies, they are fine.

  • C cup is average.
    But depending on the girls height and weight it can appear to be small.

    Also, as a woman that was once pregnant I disagree with Honey.
    Some women keep their larger breasts after pregnancy.
    Some women go back to the same size they once were or even smaller.
    It all has to do with genetics.

    Sometimes pregnancy ruins your pre-pregnancy body look.

  • C-DD
    is the perfect range
    and how they appear depends on many circumstances

  • I hope that's not considered small because I'm a 34B:( lol

    • Yeaaah I always thought B was average (if you're skinny, which you seem to be and so am I). I don't know what's going on

    • Yeah I am. I didn't think a C was small at all, I get mad when girls with big boobs think they are small. Lol I'm just like no, mine are small. Haha

    • I always thought mine were big, at least for my body. But then I see guys being like "oh, only a 34C?" and I'm like WAT

  • The whole thing is idiculous. C is fine. So is B.

  • I know how you feel. =[ I thought mine were small being a C cup, even though according to professional measuring, I'm a D cup, but when I try a D cup on, it's a little too big. I guess I should be happy, though, I'm pretty small and slender 5'3 and 116lbs, so having Cs is not too bad.

    One guy actually said to me that they are the perfect size and shape.

  • I think a C cup is the perfect size.

    • Agree

  • Every girl is built differently. I would have to see them to judge :)

  • It depends on the proportions of your body c would look big on a 5'2" girl who is small than a 5'8" girl

  • no that's like perfect size

  • That seems on the big side to me but I dont know cup sizes

  • im small but I got 34c's

  • Noo! I'm only a B :( I guess I'm young and skinny though. lol : /

    • Not to sound like a creeper, but they are fine. B is fine. On a really overweight frame, it's a bit different but yeah.

  • OMG mo that's a great size
