Which of these pictures most closely resembles what you imagine when you hear the term "C-cup"?

"C-cup" really means nothing if the band size (the #, such as the 32 in 32C) isn't mentioned.

Women with the smallest C-cups often have smaller breasts than many women with A-cups and B-cups. For example, women such as myself who have a 28C have smaller breasts than do women with a 32B or 34A. 28C (and 26D) are equivalent in size to a 30B or 32A; they're simply on a smaller ribcage (hence the lower #) and protrude outward more (hence the higher letter).

Here are some examples of different bands of C-cup. The pictures have all been taken from Bratabase. Which of these images most closely resembles what you imagine when you hear the term "C-cup"?
28C - the total volume is the same as a 30B or 32A; the breast simply protrudes more & is on a smaller ribcage.

In order for a woman with a 28in ribcage to have breasts the size of what most people imagine a C-cup to be, she would have to have a 28DDD (equivalent to a 34C) or 28F (equivalent to a 36C) or larger.

  • Based on the pictures i would say 38C

    That 36C isn't a 36C, those breasts are clearly larger than the other breasts.

    Regarding your update information, ok thats interesting but i dont think it means what you think it means.

    Im 40 years old and i have literally just learnt in this thread that breast size increases with band size even with the same cup and who the fuck has a 28inch chest? That doesn't sound common to me, so why would you suggest that outlying data should be considered average data?

    I had a quick look around trying to find some data, Im not sure these are the best sources of information but the suggested average is about 34 / 36 WAY bigger than 28.

    • I feel your agenda is to push the idea that people have an unreasonable or inaccurate expectation of breast size but in fact your own data demonstrates that expectations are exactly in alignment with averages.

  • Third picture or 32C is what I imagine.
    The bra size chart is so confusing. I understand how you measure around and below the breast and then around to the tip of the breast, but what's with the doubles and triples? And why can the same size have a different combination of numbers and letters?

    • "why can the same size have a different combination of numbers and letters?" Due to different proportions

  • I'm European 70C/75B depending on a brand of the bra.
    United States are weird and I don't get their sizes, but I know what problem you're talking about.
    Men imagine "C cup" to be full and more than handful or at least handful, while it's not.
    I hate when they say that they prefer C cup because I know that they actually don't

    • 70C would be a 32C

  • What the hell even is this question?

    I used to be a C cup, but now I'm DD and have been for a few years so...

    But like... "what do you think of when you hear the term c cup?" Like... wtf?

    • So do you have any productive insights, or are you just going to continue wasting your time and mine?

    • I'm not wasting time. I'm legit asking... what brought this question up? I'm just curious. It's hard to have "productive insights" with such a random and unproductive question. Unless you're trying to see how many people, (I'm assuming you have C-cup size breast) when given a general size think of your size for some odd reason. So I'm just generally curious.

    • To truly answer your question... I don't think of anything in particular. Band size doesn't really mean much anyway, but I have a DD cup size so I don't really have a huge opinion on "what I imagine"

  • Damn i ised to be that 36C in 2007 :(

  • 32-34 c looks about right to what I traditionally think of as a c cup. I honestly had no idea that bra sizes worked this way at all. The 42-44 c is more what I imagined the mid d cup range to be. Always interested to find out random things like this though. In all seriousness though could someone give me a simple explanation of bra sizes, because I have no idea how this works.

  • You seem to be preoccupied with public discussing your concern about your breast size. Does that issue preoccupy your thoughts?

  • Somewhere between 34/36.

  • Can I imagine all of them
