Is 32D and 34C the same cup size?

Question

Mine is 32D.  32C is small. The bust size is mine but the cup is small. 34 is loose for me.

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

32D and 34C are different bra sizes with the SAME CUP VOLUME.

The following article…

https://us.brastop.com/blogs/news/sister-sizes-explained

…says the following…

“Your sister size is another bra size that will fit you with the same cup volume. This is mostly used for adjusting sizes when the back band feels too small or too tight, but the cup is a perfect fit…

The general rule is that if you go up a band size, you need to go down a cup size. The opposite is also true – if you go down a band size, you need to go up a cup size. This ensures the cup size stays the same volume, and only the band size is adjusted.”

FYI - this second article …

https://blog.join-eby.com/article/sister-sizes/

…gives bra sizing advice…

“Bra band fits, but cups don’t:

If cups feel small, select the next larger cup size. If cups feel big, simply select a smaller cup size.

Cups fit, but the band doesn’t:

This one may be a bit tricky to remember at first, but when going up a band size, you will need to go down in cup size. When going down a band size, you need to go up in cup size.

Neither cups nor bands fit:

If both are too small, go up in cup size and band size. If both are too large, go down in both cup size and band size.”

Yes. The chest size just determines how large or small a woman's body is. The average woman has a 34 inch chest, and smaller sizes will be more petite women and larger sizes will be heavier or wider women. The "average" bust size is a 34C, so a 32D will be the same exact breast volume and size, but on a smaller, more petite woman. Because the woman is smaller, her 32D breasts may look relatively larger on her body. But they are the same exact size as a 34C. Likewise, a 36B is the same size as those other two as well, and will look even SMALLER on a larger, plus-sized woman.

So in short, yeah, a 32D and a 34C are the same exact breast volumes, but the 32D is just on a smaller woman, so will look relatively larger on her.

no.
the number is the distance around so the bigger the number the wider your back is.

the letter is the actual boob size.

32D means the person has a small back and the boob itself is big

34 means the person has a wider back and medium size boob

if you have a 36 it's even wider back.
usually the fatter you are means your number will be bigger because you have a larger frame
Slim/thin small frame girls will have a smaller number

if you are fat and use a 32 or 34
you tent to have rolls on the back because the distance of the bra is smaller and fits you tight so your clothes makes you look with extra rolls at the back.

Cup size is cup size (A, B, C, etc.); the number is about the band that goes around you. Manufacturers don't always use the same exact measurements and even identical twins are sometimes not completely identical, so strange equivalencies can possibly occur, but, in general, 32D and 34C are different in cup size.

softlyautumnal · Answer

They aren't the same size. 32D is for someone with a 32 inch underbust measurement and 36 inch standing +/ leaning bust measurement, whereas 34C is for someone with a 34 inch underbust measurement and a 37 inch standing +/ leaning bust measurement. They do carry the same cup volume however, as they are sister sizes.

DaveJord · Answer

Well yes and no. Just a 32D and 34C are considered sister sizes because they will fit the same amount of breast. But they are of different proportions to the body size... so a 32D will seem bigger because the lady will have a smaller frame... and 34C will seem smaller because the lady will have a wider frame. So no they are not the same size, but are defiantly the same cup size proportionally to the body.

crimsonandclover2 · Answer

no. It's not. The band size is the number, so 32 D would be a 32 Inch band around (sort of.) And the cup size is D. The woman wearing 32D size bra would have smaller ribcage than the other woman 34 C is larger in band, but smaller in the cup size. However, many (not all) people who fit into one of these sizes also fit into the other, because they are considered sister sizes. So while they are similar because they're equally balanced, technically they are not the same size.

I cannot believe that after 10-11 years, I am seeing the question that actually was my first question on GAG which i asked because I have an issue how my wife had been misled to believe that they are the same so she always goes a cup size higher because she wants FULL coverage even though she is always covered. She does not wear low or deep necks and often has an extra layer of covering OVER her shirt as per our tradition. I am not saying I want to make her uncomfortable, but at least when we are the only 2 people under the circumstances, wear the proper size.

So, with all this logic of "sister sizes", does this mean 34D = 36C = 38B = 40A?

Nice !! Her correct size is 38C. I am getting her 22GG for Valentine's Day !!

They're the same cup size but obviously not band size...(Known as Sister Sizes).

byrdman89 · Answer

The number is kind of like the band size it's how many inches around front back and all the way around the letter c or d is the cup size how large the actual breast itself is - now being a guy and answering this question I pray to God I got it right otherwise some of you ladies might kill me for being both arrogant and ignorant

lrina · Answer

32 is the circumference below your breasts. the letter is the cup size, though. so 34 is wider below the breasts, and c is smaller than d.

PositiveNote · Answer

I'll settle this once and for all: THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME SIZE. Every time I see one, I get JUST as horny as when I see the other!  That's that!!!

nannnnssss · Answer

No the size is different because 32 is the band size and d is the cup size which shows the women has bigger breast and small waist and 34 shows that women has big band size and breast is smaller

skyeee01 · Answer

Yeah that's correct, if you go up in the back you wanna go down in the cup normally- not always but normally :)

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Technically no but mostly yes. The cup size is the same and the rib straps are different size however with most bras having some adjustments on them in practice it usually covers generally the same sizes.

20yearsolder · Answer

They shouldn't be the same size, a D cup is supposed to be bigger than C, the numbers refer to the distance around your body

I wear a 34C demi bra but can also wear a 32C. I prefer to wear no bra.

For me I think that's a perfect size All the Above especially if they have lots of sensation

Waldoe · Answer

32 is the measurement around your chest... A B C D E is the size of the "cup" relative to the chest size... there is NO correlation... find a size that fits, chest and cup

James899 · Answer

You can able to figure out a perfect size by try and error method. Because size of the bra differs by brand!

nawtee_me · Answer

They are not the same. A “C” cup is smaller than a “D” cup even though the band is bigger at 34 instead of 32.

Jerre · Answer

I can check your size if you want. Both are good sizes, D is fuller.

EaterPeter · Answer

All bras are made different. Sizes vary manufacture to manufacture.
