Regardless of what sizes I try I cannot get balcony style bras to suit me. My boobs fit better in full cup or plunge bras such as the Freya deco

Bra style matters a lot as well, balconettes just don't fit me as I'm bottom heavy and shallow whereas a plunge style fits perfectly

Certain styles suit certain rib cage shapes! I absolutely cannot wear a full cup, the wires just wont sit right on me.
The freya Deco causes me pain and physical sores even in the right size. The Freya retro (a very deep plunge) however was my favourite bra ever and i cried when they stopped making it. The Bravissimo satine is the closest I’ve come to that shape since!
My sister is a similar size to me but her rib cage is a different shape and she loves the Deco.
Well I just used that calculator and came out as a 30F . I've been wearing 34B for years and suffer almost constant boob pain. So I have ordered one in the 'correct' size and will report back when I've tried it out. Thanks for sharing the calculators, graphics and info sbloom and ecb

I had a similar experience at bravissimo!I had a very disconcerting experience at Rigby and Peller. I was visiting a friend in London not long before my wedding so decided to get properly fitted for a really decent bra for under my wedding dress. I made an appointment and was greeted by a girl who can't have been more than 17. She asked me to strip off and then spent a good 45 seconds studying me and my boobs. I was expecting the tape measure but she just disappeared then came back 2 minutes later with one bra and gave me instructions on how to put it on, complete with wiggling and lifting and positioning. It fitted perfectly. What sort of witchcraft is that? I was a 32FF she informed me on the way out.
Gemm Sports bras on ebay. £17.95 and they are very good.There must be others out there that compete and are overly well endowed like me?
How do you cope?
I have 36H breasts on a size 12 body and despite trying many sports bras they still seem to move. Recently tried a super high impact from M &S and had to get off as it allowed so much movement I was actually in pain.
I ride up to 50 miles a week as well as schooling. So need something that is really going to control them in all paces.
What do you use?? What’s the secret?
I had a similar experience at bravissimo!
I cant wear plunge bras at all, my boobs just fall out of them!
I’ve heard really good things about Ewa Michalak but can’t be bothered with the faffing aroundFor anyone who really wants a plunge there are several Polish brands that do really good plunges, I believe Ewa Michalak are like magic, boobs can't escape them! There's a special section in the reddit wiki for Polish bras, they're not expensive but hard to return (some are customised).
That’s where you wear 2 bras / crop top on top for the actual riding bitStick on a body protector? I find mine are solid in a body protector! I have big boobs after having my 3rd son 9 months ago, never had big boobs and now I do, they're horrible. I went to a fitting the other day and the professional promised me a certain sport bra she gave me was a perfect fit. Its so damn tight underneath it leaves deep red marks when I take it off. I complained to her about it and she just said sports bras are designed for short term use, not all day?? Not much use for say a horse event then which can run on all day. The comfy ones dont offer much support at all. Boobs suck!
Just got around to measuring on the bra that fits calculator, and it’s come out at 38FF… which was a surprise. I have 38D for sports and normal wear and feel the cup is slightly too big, and too much movement when running. I’ve just bought a Shock Absorber run bra in a 38C and it’s waaaay too small but my 38D M&S zip front bras are too big in the cup. Where do I go from here?
