Psychology in bra sizing
How often have we refused to believe that we are a particular size, be overly critical about bras in sizes we don’t identify with. For a long time I kept thinking I was somewhere between an A or B cup, until I discovered the world of small bands, bigger cups. I then started trying 30Ds, 30DDs, 30Es, 28E F FF etc. I started to keep wanting a bigger cup size. Any sign of quadding or shape mismatch made me immediately assume that I might need a bigger cup size. I was deeply unhappy about how my boobs looked and bra sizes gave me a kind of validation. Im not sure if it’s signs of body dysmorphia or something else. But I sure do know it’s not exactly healthy. I’m not sure if anyone else have had such an experience. Would like to hear from y’all!!

Ditto, from the other side of the size spectrum... It was bewildering, frustrating. I was wearing all kinds of weird sizes before learning about "the world of small bands, bigger cups." Now happy at 40:9.
Yep, I relate to this. Always tried to force myself to fit into as big a cup and as small a band as possible. I still have the tendency, but it’s easier to fight the irrationality now that I’m aware of it.
