550 opinions shared on Fashion & Beauty topic. According to a 2013 study 34DD is considered average for US women.
Wonder when they'll do a more recent survey 🤔.
Everyone has their own definition of "small" though. I read someone state that a 34B was basically "flat" or something like that. Which as a 32B I disagree with. Small? Yes. Flat? Nah.010 Reply- Asker+1 y
34B and 32B are actually pretty flat when properly fitted! Double check with the 'abrathatfits' calculator, it's the only bra size calculator you can trust (because size guides and calculators from bra companies usually give you an incorrect size so that you fit in their size range!)
- Asker+1 y
Sometimes bras can appear to fit even when they don't. If you're not flat then you're NOT a 32B. You should definitely check out the calculator - but if you wanna keep wearing the wrong size and you're comfortable with it, that's absolutely fine. Have a great day!
- Asker+1 y
It's not being closed-minded, it's being informed about how bra sizes work and what they look like. A properly fitted 32B is for someone who's not not FULLY flat, but pretty much flat. Ignorance is bliss!
- Asker+1 y
Not trolling, trying to help you because you need help, but you don't want to accept my help, so that is fine.
- +1 y
Assuming someone needs "help" because you personally perceive a size as " pretty much flat" (completely subjective) when they disagree isn't helpful in the least. So, again. Keep trolling. Have fun sharing your fake biased "expertise" (based on your preferred website via google) about bra sizes and making assumptions that everyone wears the wrong bra sizes if they tell you something different.
- AskerNew +1 y
It's a known fact that a huge majority of women wear the wrong bra sizes, not an assumption. My "preferred website" is a subreddit with over 200k members. I've been a member for two years now. You could really do with listening to me because the size 32B IS pretty much flat. Size IS subjective but I know what a properly fitted 32B looks like. You're likely wearing a band size that's too big and a cup size that's too small, like most people. Glad you muted me because hopefully now you won't reply with more painfully idiotic comments!

What band size? On most band sizes they look small yes :) Especially if properly fitted. A lot of people with big boobs wear DD bras because they think DD = big but they usually need to be wearing G or H cups

Lots of people don't know!

Im not surprised, but its interesting for sure

Only for white women. 😍
042 Reply- Asker+1 y
No. Your race doesn't change how a bra size will look.
- +1 y
Your framing is all wrong. 🤣 Change = alteration from a set point. Genetics and nutrition decide bust size and racial groups have genetic trends as illustrated by the above infographic.
- Asker+1 y
That has NOTHING to do with this. Obviously the 'average' bra size varies from place to place but what I'm addressing is that people think DD is a large size, but it's not, it's small-average on most band sizes no matter what country you're in.
- +1 y
False. You're biased toward white majority countries; are you really trying to say, absent evidence like I've shown, that Asian women have DD bras on average?
- Asker+1 y
No, you're misunderstanding me. Obviously, the AVERAGE BRA SIZE will vary from place to place.
What I'm saying is, people think DD cup bras LOOK large, when in reality on most band sizes when correctly fitted they LOOK small or average, or small or MEDIUM. Do you get me now? - +1 y
I knew from the beginning. Some shoe brands run small, so one has to go up a size. You're saying that bra sizes run or "look" large, but it's statistically incorrect.
- Asker+1 y
It's actually getting comical at this stage because no, that's not what I'm saying at all. They DON'T look large. People think they're large, but when properly fitted, they're NOT, that's my point.
- +1 y
Properly fitted DD = big titties = you're dumb.
- Asker+1 y
Hahaha, now look who's dumb. A properly fitted DD is not large except for on large band sizes like 40.
- +1 y
DD bras are large by definition; it's the upper threshold of human breast size.
- Asker+1 y
Hahahaha, please stop, you're making yourself look more and more stupid. You think cup sizes stop at DD?
- +1 y
You refer to the uppermost threshold, not the upper threshold. This is why one can't win an argument with a woman, because it's like playing tag with a simpleton.
- Asker+1 y
I find it so funny how guys literally argue with women about bras when they haven't a CLUE what they're talking about. I have very small boobs, I wear a 26E bra. Try get your simple brain around that.
- +1 y
So you're skinny with wide boobs, change brands; it doesn't alter the fact that most women on earth are b or c cup size.
- Asker+1 y
I don't need to change brands. I'm not skinny, I'm normal for my height and no my boobs aren't wide. I have small boobs, probably what society would call a '32A' but that's because society doesn't understand how bra sizing works.
Most women are wearing the wrong bra sizes so they aren't B or C cups, they're probably closer to E-FF.
- Asker+1 y
Very true @Nxtawm. You wouldn't believe the amount of men who have argued with me about this! It's hilarious
- +1 y
DD = average + women wearing the wrong sizes = unfalsifiable hypothesis. I have a map that confirms that the average BUST size is DD in (coincidentally) white majority countries, but not in most countries. Ergo, the world average bust size isn't DD and you're wrong. Conversely, you have a back up singer and feelings.
- Asker+1 y
You must be seriously stupid. For the last time - I'm not saying DD is the average size - I don't know or care what the average size is, and it's probably not by the way because 90% of the women in that data were probably wearing the wrong size.
What I'm saying is DD isn't as big as people think it is. Please stop embarrassing yourself by claiming to be an expert in something you know absolutely nothing about. - +1 y
People think DD is big, because, statistics say it is. 🤣🖕
- Asker+1 y
Again, statistics are wrong because the majority of women wear the wrong size.
- +1 y
Those statistics are of bust size not bra size; I circumvented your entire argument. Winner, by TKO: ya boooooy!
- Asker+1 y
No, there is no such thing as 'bust size', because as I said, 'C', 'D', 'DD' etc mean nothing on their own. DD can look very small, small, average, or large depending on what band size it's on. So the statistics mean absolutely nothing.
- +1 y
False. Bust size is taking by measuring the breast. You are wrong.
- Asker+1 y
"Measuring the breast" - go on, tell me, how is that done?
- +1 y
Not with a bra. 🙃
- Asker+1 y
Well duh, but tell me how it's done
- +1 y
Measuring for bust size is done by wrapping a measuring tape around the torso at the inframammary fold and over the bust.
- Asker+1 y
Okay, so if the person's measurements are 32 and 38 inches, what is their 'bust' size?
- +1 y
Their bust is 32" & 38". Their approximate bra size is DDD in the U. S. and F in the U. K.
I too am well endowed, albeit differently. 😍 - Asker+1 y
Ok, first of all it would be a DDD in the US and an E in the UK, and second, those aren't bra sizes. That person's BRA SIZE would be 32DDD/32E. A medium size. 28DDD is a small size. 40DDD is a large size. Is your brain starting to grasp this yet?
- +1 y
Oh, yeah, F is in California and E is the UK. You got me!
Hey, I wrote 'approximate' to avoid retyping numbers.
Your "average" is in white majority countries only. Colored majority countries have smaller breasts and smaller average, as I indicated in my first comment with an infographic.
Shall I also demonstrate that men have a higher IQ average than women so you'll stop pretending that I don't understand? - Asker+1 y
And I already told you, I'm NOT TALKING ABOUT THE AVERAGE BRA SIZE. I'm saying that DD is not a huge size like everyone thinks it is. If you had a high IQ you'd have known that from the start instead of coming here with a completely irrelevant infographic and making completely irrelevant points. A properly fitted 34DD is a medium size, no matter where you are in the world. People think DD automatically means huge but my point is, it depends on band size. 28DD is a very small size. But many people think that is huge too.
- +1 y
Many people are correct; their idea of normal is set between B and C, which is the most common size for all women, thus; for most humans on earth, DD is big. You're resilient, I'll give you that!
- Asker+1 y
B and C is actually super small. But as I said, most people are wearing the wrong size, so the people that wear B and C usually need DD-F. Of course I'm resilient! I'm a woman, who wears bras, who was put in the wrong size for YEARS by companies who are supposed to be experts at this. I have small boobs so everyone thought I must be 32A, but I'm actually 26E. Which is a small size, but to most people it sounds huge. I've been learning about this for years. You're just going by what society and meaningless infographics tell you. You're right - to most humans on earth, DD is big. But that's because they don't know what DD is supposed to look like. Emily Ratajkowski is listed as a 32C on the internet, when she is probably about a 26H/HH. Katy Perry's size is listed as like a 32D, when she's probably about a 30G.
- +1 y
Some people believe the BBC myth started by 70 IQ average Africans in self estimate 'studies' and I'm in the top 3% x 1%, so I feel you on the misinformation thing, it's more common than actual accuracy.
However, even accounting for misinformation, I'm certain that we can agree that your idea of small is a farcry from the Asian version of small, which; at least in part, validates my argument. All of this learning about breasts has been fun! - Asker+1 y
Every person will have a different idea of what small is, no matter what country you're in, but again that's not the point, the point is, sizes like D, DD, E etc can be small. A lot of people don't believe that. As I said, I used to wear a 32A and that is exactly the size people would think I am when they look at me, because they're led to believe that only A and B cups can be small, when in reality a C, D, DD, E etc can be exactly the same size as an A - depending on the band size. I hear guys being like 'A and B cups are the best!' but again, they don't really know what A and B actually look like - they're pretty much flat.
- +1 y
Hahahaha! I'm liking that you are teaching me things! I knew about cup size but I didn't know much about band size, so... learning is fun! by the way some guys do think that flat is where it's at.
- Asker+1 y
I know they do, I'm not disputing that! But a lot of guys think that B for example is bigger than it is, properly fitted B cups are pretty much flat on any band size
- +1 y
"Most people" don't care to investigate. I could've passed up your comment, but I have a strong sense of scientific curiosity. Also: girls! 😍
The women in my family are very chesty, so I used to think it was normal. I was wrong. - Asker+1 y
Well, of course it's normal to be chesty! Everyone's different.

Only in counties where masses of people are obese.
I’m not saying everyone with DD is overweight - they certainly aren’t. But in countries where most people are slim, the average is well below DD.13 Reply- Asker+1 y
I'm not talking about average as in, what bra size is most common.
I'm talking about whether DD is a small, medium or large size to look at. No matter where you are in the world, properly fitted DD cups are usually small-medium, but people think DD equates to HUGE. 
Opinion Owner+1 yThe majority of women i dated were B cups. DD is large.
- Asker+1 y
The majority of women wear the wrong size so that means nothing. DD is large on large band sizes yes but on the majority of band sizes a properly fitted DD is small-medium.

+1 yno , that is not true AA cups are small ! DD cups are not ! thanks
01 Reply- AskerNew +1 y
Nope, you are wrong. AA is small yes but DD can be just as small - it depends on the band size. Band size is so important. A 34AA and 34DD are gonna be VERY different. The 34DD will be way bigger. But a 28DD and 38AA will have the exact same cup volume.

You ladies need to quit dick-measuring so damn much, because small breasts are superior
04 Reply- Asker+1 y
This wasn't a question of which size breasts are superior. It's a question to check people's knowledge of bra sizing.
- Opinion Owner+1 y
It was a joke, lol.
I don't really get how DD could be small average, though. That's a 4-5" difference vs the band size. For bigger women, it doesn't look like too much of a proportional difference, but for a 32-34" under bust, that's pretty big. - Asker+1 y
It's a 5" difference yep, but if you think about it that's about 2.5" of projection per boob. Society makes us think DD = big. I don't blame you for not getting it!
Also, you're talking about 32-34" bands as smaller women but that's another thing society - but mainly bra companies try to fool us into thinking. 32-34" are actually in the medium band size range, lots of women need 30, 28, 26 and even 24 or 22 bands, but of course every store usually starts at 32 bands so people think 'oh, 32 must be the smallest'.
Stores also tell people to add 4" to their band sizes, and this allows them to start at a higher band size range - by basically putting people in the wrong sizes completely! I'm very passionate about this, sorry lol - Opinion Owner+1 y
No need to be sorry. Do you have any idea what a minefield it is for a man to shop for clothes for his wife or girlfriend? I get pissed off with their bullshit, too. I can't even surprise my girl with a nice outfit because they can't get their shit together on sizes
- +1 y
Depends on the person
034 Reply- Asker+1 y
Well, what it depends on is the band size! But DD on most band sizes is small-average :)
- +1 y
Who are you comparing to?
- Asker+1 y
I'm not comparing to anyone! On most band sizes except for really large band sizes, DD is either a very small, small or average size. For example, 28DD is a very small size. 34DD is a small-average size.
- +1 y
And I'm saying it's in comparison to the person!
- Asker+1 y
Define 'the person'.
When I say 'band size' that's the width of the person's ribcage. - +1 y
Average heights and average bust sizes is what I mean
- +1 y
I'm meaning more a "full" bust over bra sizes
- Asker+1 y
Well not really, if someone is 5ft5 and wears a 28DD and someone else is 5ft2 and wears a 28DD (a very small size) the only visible difference will be their height..
28DD bras are designed for someone with a 28 underbust and 32 bust. Height doesn't affect bust and underbust measurements. - +1 y
Looks wise it does that's my point
- Asker+1 y
The two people will OBVIOUSLY look different because one is taller. It won't affect how their bust size looks
- +1 y
Hmmmmmmm yes it does because a person with a 5'7 frame will be different to a 5'1 frame, busts looks smaller on bigger frames.
You're correct in a bust size is a universal size, but in terms of looking for "size" that changes on a person's frame - Asker+1 y
If the 5"7 person and the 5"1 person BOTH wear 28DD, then their bust size will look very much the same, because their band size (underbust measurement, or ribcage width basically) will both be 28 inches around. Think about it.
- +1 y
I KNOW
If you removed everything about and below the chest and it was a floating pair of chebs itll look the exact same.
But putting them on a smaller frame MAKES them look bigger thats my poing - Asker+1 y
No, it won't make them look bigger. On a SMALLER frame yes, so someone with a smaller BAND SIZE. But not on a shorter frame.
- +1 y
Have a piece of paper and a pen with you?
- Asker+1 y

- +1 y
Draw 4 circles (groups of 2) the exact same size and draw one small person and one big person, then you'll get what I'm saying
- Asker+1 y
Just did that, neither looks bigger or smaller than the other.
- +1 y
No point in arguing then
- Asker+1 y
I could have told you that a long time ago lol. Not sure where you got this idea from but it's wrong. Frame, width wise affects how cup sizes appear, not height-wise. You should check out the abrathatfits subreddit! :)
- +1 y
Size doesn't change but the perspective of the size changes in comparison to the. person

It really doesn't
- +1 y
Yep.
- Asker+1 y
Are you hearing yourself right now. I'm 5"2. If I woke up one morning seven inches taller, my bust size isn't going to appear any different.
My point, in the first place was that people think DD is huge when in reality a properly fitted DD is quite small. - +1 y
It won't physically be smaller but itll look smaller that's how perspective works
- Asker+1 y
It wouldn't. I don't know where you're getting this information from.
- Asker+1 y
Again, that's not even my point.. the point is that DD isn't as big as everyone thinks.
- +1 y
Because science? I don't really know how to explain it lol

It's because you're wrong

Really not tho

Respectfully, you're either being a mong or just ignoring what I'm saying.
THE BRA AND TITS DONT CHANGE SIZE BUT THEY LOOK SMALLER IF THEYRE ON A BIGGER PERSON - Asker+1 y
Respectfully, you're wrong and what you're saying is absolutely ridiculous. How wide or narrow you are can affect it, but not how tall or short you are. If one person is 5 ft 1 and another person is 5 ft 6 and they both need 28DD bras, then they BOTH have 28 inch underbusts and 32 inch busts. The fact that one is taller than the other means nothing.
- +1 y
I'm saying that height doesn't change the size of the boob

You're probably not as small as you think! A lot of people wear A and B cups because they think 'I'm small, and they're the smallest sizes so that must be my size', but they don't realize that C, D, DD and E can be small too. Check out the abrathatfits calculator and see what size it gives you :)
