the hitherto unexplored world of bra padding
I need to buy myself some cookies/pads/inserts in the interests of correcting asymmetry, and maybe every now and then to pad out a bra which runs big in the cups (the joys of buying online...)
My problem is I have no idea what specifically to buy. Is there a certain shape that's preferable? And more importantly, a size? One eBay retailer kept going on about size small/medium/large which fits cup sizes A-B/B-C/C-D. Obviously this can't correspond to actual cup sizes, which go beyond D, but as a 30F/FF I'm left at a bit of a loss as to which to buy.
Anyone more knowledgeable care to educate me?

If you go to a sewing store (like a Joann's Fabrics, if you have that where you live), they typically sell a couple of different types of pads. Not a ton, but a few. The important thing is that you can pick them up and look at them and get an idea of how big, how smushy, etc they are before buying.
I know I've read that a lot of people who are correcting asymmetry usually prefer the gel / silicone "chicken cutlet" style. I don't know why that is, that's just what I always see people saying that they use. Those things are kinda heavy though.
