Having hard time finding one that fits. The ones I have pictures of on this site seem comfortable but they have their issues. Soft cups never work for me. After coming home form bra shopping almost in tears with nothing that actually fitting correctly, my husband did some looking and found this site. Hope anyone can help. The +5 method will not work for me and I no longer can go to Walmart and find a bra that fits properly, unless I want a sports bra.
Went to several stores including a Victoria's Secret AND an actual lingerie shop for a professional bra fitting. They both said that i needed 36B/36C bras. Dont understand this as I was wearing 36D bras at the time and I was squished in them. Go figure!

Give your husband a hug, because you have come to the right place!
I was fitted by a professional as a 38B when in fact, I am a 32G (and before you think OMG, you'd think I was a D if you saw me on the street). +5 doesn't really work for 99.99 percent of anybody.
Try this method and tell us what you come up with (which will be a starting point, not an absolute): http://bustyresources.wikia.com/wiki/How-to_determine_bra_size#
Some good info here:

Victoria's Secret and Maidenform had me in 36C/38B, at a time when I actually needed something in the neighborhood of 32F.
Believe me, properly fitting bras were a revelation after all those years of huge bands (that would ride up onto my breast tissue because the bands were 5 or 7 inches larger than my underbust measurement) and too-small cups (I bulged out of the 36Cs horribly, and the 38Bs basically acted as boob covers that provided no support at all).
My breasts are medium-sized, and I'm currently wearing properly fitted 30FF and 30G bras. You'll almost certainly be shocked when you calculate your proper size, with none of that measuring-above-the-bust or adding-inches nonsense.
