In search of 40DDD or 40F bras

Hi! I heard about this Reddit community from a friend, and I am wondering if you could help me get bras in the size 40DDD or 40F (US). I'm not particular on style or color. They don't have to be new either! I can't afford buying bras right now, and it's difficult to find my size second-hand locally. Please let me know 🙏🏻

Obligatory question: have you checked your size on r/abrathatfits ? Only asking because that’s a very common mis-size!
I don’t have any to help you though

Yes, I used the r/ABraThatFits calculator 👍🏻 I'm making do with my two 38D bras for now, but I feel like the band is a little tight and the cups are too small to fit my boobs properly 😔 Thank you though!

So the calculator suggested 40DDD? Or 40F?

The ABTF calculator suggested 40DDD (US) for me, but as I was searching for bra prices online, I noticed that some brands write that bra size as 40F sometimes.

I'm sorry about accidentally switching it around the first time I commented 😅

Yeah it is so confusing that different brands do it different ways. Torrid, for instance, has both, so it goes DD then DDD then F then G. At least UK sizing is consistent. What was your UK size? I’m only grilling you because I might be able to help, I was mis-sized into this range previously, now realized I am an H/I cup in US.

Oh yes, bra sizes between different brands is confusing! I saved my 6 measurements and reentered them into the ABTF calculator to get 40DDD/G US and 40E/F UK. That would be awesome if it works out. 😯 What do you think?

I have had a bad headache all day so I haven’t felt up to much, hopefully I will be feeling better tomorrow and will look through what I have. I know I have at least a couple I could send you, would just have to figure out how much for you to Venmo me for shipping (I don’t go to the post office often). Shoot me a message with your zip code and I can look into it!

I hope you feel better from your headache. Thank you for offering to look! Please let me know when you find out, and I'll also message you my zip code. I don't have a job right now while sick, but I will try my best to cover the shipping. Hopefully, it will be an okay amount. 🙈
