Can I measure myself to work out what size I am?!

[Sjay]

3 and a half weeks post op and just thinking about ordering/buying some non under wired bras - ps said I wear these when I'm 6 weeks.., however I'm no idea what size I am, I'm going to be either a full b or a teeny c ? I think so even harder to know which size to lean towards when ordered, how can I measure myself accurately to avoid going somewhere and getting measured which I'm so not comfortable with ? Or should I not even be attempting to measure myself yet, is it too early days?? 

Forgive me If this is a really dumb question! I've never had boobs before to measure ?

Good question. Sorry no help here my boobies are less than 12hours old but i would love to know the answer too ☺

yes, jump on the bras and things website it has a size chart measure around your chest below your boobs and then measure around the fullest part of your breasts. You can use those measurements to work.out what size you need on that chart.

its not entirely accurate because different brands vary a bit in size. I measure a 10H but am wearing 12E or 12D the chart does help show you how cup sizes vary with band sizing which made buying easy for me 10h is hard to find but 12E and D are a little easier.

I was recommended using the bra size calculator at www.sophisticatedpair.com and found it to be most accurate. Just about every online calculator will give you a different result. It will give you American size and then I use the bras and things international conversion to get to Aussie size.
