Hello everyone! Brand new to the site after finding it through the ABTF Reddit community.
1. Is there a way to find other users with similar measurements? I would love to see what bras have worked for people with my same measurements, but all I can find is a way to search for specific BRA measurements. Sometimes I see an ... option that says "Other bras that fit" for a user, but I feel like the times I most want that feature is when I'm looking at real photo and I say "oh that looks like me!" but then I can't find a way to get to that person's profile. Are pictures not linked to our profiles on this site?
2. Since my measurements indicate five (!!!!) different size bras may fit me, is there a way to ask the site for recommendations based just on shape and attributes? I think it's weeding out bras that may actually work just fine for me. (It suggested a single bra for me in its recommendations, that can't be normal, right?)
3. Is this the place to post fit questions and recommendations from users? Or do people post here every day?
4. Last, this is kind of silly but in choosing a username I was just trying to be descriptive and now every time I look at my username I think it looks...um...inappropriate. Being totally new to this community, I don't want to come across as off-putting or be targeted, especially since I see warnings about creeps and stuff. So should I change my username?
The "recommended bras" was just a single bra in a size that is nowhere near my actual size. I'm used to bra calculators giving me many different sizes, but my actual size is somewhere around 36HH / 38H UK. I'm done breastfeeding (for now!) and so I'm on a mission to find a great-fitting bra that supports me, rather than lounging around in my tired nursing bras that don't do much really. I'm loving the information so far on this site and I hope to help others as well!
Thanks so much ladies!

carrythedollhouse , yess!!
I get tons of recommendations, because - I think I'm more of a common "full bust" size (30 or 32 band), and I'm sorry it doesn't work out so well for people in less common band and cup sizes.
One of my big pet peeves: it bothers me when people use bratabase all the time, yet don't take the time to enter in data that would help others.
It only takes about 10 minutes per bra to put in the info!!!
I know I've been helped sooooo much by the data in bratabase. E.g. I was able to buy a new brand online and get the correct fit, just by comparing data here. So, it's super helpful!
BraOdyssey Thank you for validating my disappointment/frustration! Obviously the community aspect is very nice but I was hoping that the algorithm would have made suggestions regarding potential brands, styles, or sizes to try by now.
Thank you for continuing to contribute and to "pay it forward!" We need more people like you on the site :)
I'm no IT expert, but I wonder if requiring someone who visits the page who's not signed in to create an account or to have some sort of "wall" preventing them from accessing the data would make sure that everyone uses AND contributes.
