I’m finding myself looking at Comexim’s 3 part half cups in 55G from other users and trying to see if their bra measurements line up with mine. And they just… don’t. I’m so confused. My cup depth is between 15.5-16 cm and other users’ measure between 17-18 cm! Even smaller sizes (55E and 55F) still measure deeper, at least 17 cm! I have measured all of my 7 bras countless of times and yup, 15.5-16 cm for cup depth. I carefully follow Bratabase’s instructions. Measure cup depth from one end of the wire to the other, not including the wire channel. I just don’t understand. I was doing this too to see if I could get away with 55H for my bigger boob, but going from 15.5 to 18 cm by going up 1 cup size? Seems crazy to me. But what’s crazier is how my horizontal breast measurement varies by 3 cm depending on how I measure. Leaning forward and putting the tape where I can clearly see where my breast starts on my side, and ending it on my sternum, I get 16 cm. Which lines up perfectly with my bra measurements. Great! But if I squeeze my breast against my chest in order to see where my tissue “really” starts (because when I bend over it’s as if it migrates/falls towards the center, if that makes sense), I get 19 cm. I also get 19 cm standing straight. Yikes! 😳 What does that even mean? How do I know which measurement is accurate and how does this translate to cup depth? I’m guessing the first method, since it lines up with my cup depth and leaning over is supposed to be the “when supported/in a bra” position. I’m just so confused.
