I am just beginning my "new" bra adventure. I recently discovered the correct way to take measurements and learned about the "scoop and swoop". Instead i have been doing the smoosh and squish! I have been told so many varying sizes over the years and just tried to make do with what was close. I have bras from 36 DDD to 42 DDD. When what I should be wearing is somewhere between a 34-36 J or K. I have dealt with quad boob too long. I was constantly trying to pack those puppies back down into those cups, not realizing the harm i was doing to my breasts. I have grooves in my shoulders from straps that were trying to carry all the weight and back pain issues. I am hoping to learn from all of you that have traveled this road, and I can't wait to find a bra that actually fits! I am so glad that the bratabase exits, it's such a wonderful way to help out so many women like me. After 15+ years of suffering, I am ready for a new bra experience! I am done feeling embarrassed about my constant spillage, hating my breasts for not cooperating, and just feeling bad about my body all together. Now I just need to figure out where to start, my only option for bras in my size will be online. I live in a rather small almost rural area and no one carries anything bigger than a DDD, and I'm lucky if I find that. So I am nervous about buying on line and all the trial and error I will experience searching for a great fitting bra. On the other hand I am excited to see how I'm going to look and feel in a correct size.

Another groovy-shoulder-sister here! I'm a 34HH (bordering on J) so I know what you mean! I went from a 38DDD to a 34HH and I'm so glad I saw the light! Now I'm blogging to help other women find a great fit!
Welcome to bratabase! Are you in the UK or USA?
Hi, and I think it's great that you are helping others! I wish I had discovered all this wonderful info so much sooner in life. I'm in the USA, guess I should have mentioned that lol! I'm still learning the US/UK size chart. I have it saved and reference it quite often. Thanks for the welcome :)
