Bra Sizing

I was just checking out your website. I was generally impressed, however when I read the section about Fitting a Bra I noticed that your cup sizing chart only goes up to F.

I find it ironic that following on from discussion about the absolute necessity of wearing the right size of bra that the article doesn't go on to indicate the full range of sizes available to women these days.

It wasn't until I moved from Canada to Britain that I realized the deception that North Americans face with regards to bra cup sizing. Here in the UK I can purchase a full range of cup sizes (AA-JJ) from my local department store. Most stores nowadays carry at least up to a G cup and will order in larger cup sizes upon request. Sadly, on recent visits home to Canada, I notice that bra cup sizing has yet to extend beyond DDD.

I spent years stuffing myself into a DD cup thinking that there was nothing larger out there. I currently wear a JJ cup, which is 9 sizes larger than the F you mention in your sizing chart.

It seems that running a web site such as thebreastsite.com puts you in a place of influence regarding breast issues. I would be impressed to see you involved in re-educating Canadians and Americans with regards to their true options when it comes to finding a properly fitting bra.

Answer:

I will make some editorial changes to the fitting section of the site to reflect this additional information.
