Why do big boob bloggers seem to always hate reductions?
In my world - I had at least a 21" difference between band and apex measurements. I don't know if you can find that now even, but 10 years ago, there was absolutely nothing. I was having serious medical problems that couldn't be corrected.
I find reductions the same as any ... plastic surgery. Frequently unneeded or for personal vanity only, but some have a medical reason. Sure, make sure you are wearing the right bra first - but if someone isn't happy in a 34GG, and has a reduction to 34DD and is happy, that's her issue. Those aren't my boobs and I don't have to live with them. Furthermore, if anyone wants dancing elephants on their chest for fun, go right ahead.
But the rampant hate ignores those who medically need a reduction. I'm at 34FF or so, it's not like I'm an A cup. But I'm no longer destroying my back, screwing up my neck, compressing nerves and blood flow which lead to 3 years of constant migraine hell.
Would a properly fitted bra have helped? Got me. But there is still no bra that works for a 21"+ cup difference. So I couldn't wear a well fitted bra, they didn't exist and I can't find one now.
I never hated my boobs. I hated the migraines. I hated wearing men's 4XL shirts to barely squeeze over my chest. I hated not being able to work, go to school, play music. But, it was never hate on the boobs.
Maybe I'm part of 5% who had a medical need. But I think it's higher, especially if you go through insurance. But still, be it 5, 25, 55 or even 0.5% - it ruins the majority of big bra blogs. Because I know I'll be told to have worn a real bra, then I'd have been fine.

They always only made 24-28 bands custom. 30 and up is non custom.
If you think you might want to try to return to Poland, try a 30 band for purposes of figuring out your cup size, then exchange for a custom size.
When they had their little Strapgate temper tantrum they removed the 28 and smaller band sizes from all the custom order description pages. The custom bands are back, but they haven't yet gotten around to adding the size range descriptions back. Just email them the size you want. S Szykus is available for custom orders.
