Weird ref size on BTB

Hello,
Do you know what actually is ref size on bratabase? Some time ago I've noticed, that my ref size went from 30:8 to 32:9 and I'm wondering what caused that. The only thing I've done with my profile was adding a few bras. 32:9 is obviously too big on me, also BTB size recommendations are 30:7 - 30:8 - 32:7 - 32:8.
So my question is: where does this ref size come from and what does it mean? Do you have any idea? :)

  • The exact way BTB calculates what to put for your ref size, I don't know (but I bet Jj could answer!); however, if you go to 'my account' --> 'edit your public profile' you can enter in a ref size yourself.

  • Ah you sent me an email about this and I forgot to reply!
    What bustyand suggests is definitely the best thing to do. Set it yourself and it won't have anything weird.

    I will have to check the algorithm again, but this initially suggested size is not computed from the recommendations, but from the bras added. And I think it's cutting edges, so in the case that all your good bras (by band) are on the bottom edge (30 band) then it's probably getting confused as an outlier and going for the center one (32 band). I recall the algorithm being a dumb averaging on bands and cups.
