Londsdale bra sizing?

by roxanne 22nd March 2012, 8:43 pm

I'm buying a couple of small Macom bras, but would also like a few Londsdale ones too. Problem is I'm unsure of the sizing.

I'm currently a 32c, but a lot of my bras are 34c because: 1. they're easy to find; 2. sometimes are a better fit due the way my boobs are shaped; and 3. depends on the brand. Technically if I'm a 32c I should also be 34b, but the b cups are always too small. So I'm a very empty 34c, and when I add my rice boobs I'm a very full 34c.

I measure 29.5 inches, though 32 feels most comfortable and always feels very snug. 34 always fits on the tightest hook, even when the bra is new, but I've explained above why I have a few bras in this size.

How is the Londsdale bra sizewise? I am better off getting 32d or 34c? Or am I way off either way, ie. is it made small/large?

I would appreciate your advice xxx

Iv got a londsdale sports bra and I thought I was a d so got a 32d but its small on the cups so should have gone with dd. I would go for the bigger one and when my boobs dropped the bra is even smaller than before. Xxx

Thanks nat! So you think I should get a 32dd/34d instead of 32d/34c since the cup measures small? How's the band, is it small too, or average?

I would have liked a couple of lonsdale bras but they don't do my size x

The band fits fine not too tight and not too big. Yeah the one iv got coz its quite low cut I'd go with bigger ones as you don't want ur new boobies falling out when yout bend down or anything. The straps are on the tightist and still don't pull the bra round my boobies properly so I would have deffo got bigger if I had known. There's a few designs in my sports direct there's low cut v shaped ones or a rounded neck one. Xxx

I have the Lonsdale bras really stretchy, I got two different cup sizes and both were okay, although as time goes on I only wear the larger one unless nothing is clean. I have also found for post op comfy support bras that are cheap, Hanes Sport Cotton Pullover from Amazon, and AHH bra from Ebay, I have found it is best to have a variety of makes because when you are wearing them 24/7 some can rub and you need a break from them. x

Thanks ladies. They sound like they're on the small side, so I think I'll go for the bigger cup sizes. I'm gonna go to my local sports direct in a couple of days and try them on with my rice boobs anyhow, but I know it can still be hard to tell. I'm getting macom as well, I need something that fastens at the front for a while, especially with all my incisions I'll have from the uplift xxx

I went to Sports Direct today, and bought three of them since they're so cheap, black, white and a pink. I had to buy 32d, the band seems to fit quite loose, 32's on the tightest hook. There's no way the 34 is right for me. I couldn't get dd since 32 only goes up to d. It looks like it fits me already with my natural boobs, but seems really stretchy though, and I brought my rice boobs to try too! I didn't like the crop top one, the one that goes higher since I found it rather constricting since it cut through my trapezius muscles. I bought the lower cut v-neck ones, which should come in handy in the first couple of months when I have to wear a sports bra in lower cut clothes.

Hi roxanne, sorry I didn't see this thread before!! Londsdale bra sizing? 683465

I bought two Lonsdale sports bras myself and I got the "small 32c" ones and regretted it. They measure a bit small, so go for a bigger size. However don't get it too big because they are meant to be fitted to support your boobs properly.
I was a 32a PRE BA and when I received the bras I thought "ok let's make some fun of myself" but surprisingly they fit me well. I should have bought the 32d.

Thanks xaxa. 32d is the biggest I can go since 32 doesn't come in any bigger cup size, and 34 is too loose. At least they have a good stretch.
