Old time listeners of Loveline might remember this being a talking point.
American bra sizes offer a very strange range of measurements – AA goes to A, then normal alphabet progression B, C, D.
But then again to DD, DDD. Then back to E, F, etc.
I understand European sizing is more straight forward A->F+ without the double letter stuff.
What is the reason or origin behind the idea of “double D”, “triple D” etc. vs. just going to the logical next letter of the alphabet? Was it a marketing ploy?
In: Other
DD is the same thing as E and DDD is the same thing as F.
Also, fun fact, band and cup size are a bit of a sliding scale. A 32E is the same thing (mathmatically) as a 30F. Obviously at some point it gets silly but purely theoretically every human has both an A and a G cup that fit them.
Edit: I did not expect this to spark so much heat. To clarify, the sliding scale part really only works, as far as I’ve been told, going up or down one or maybe two letters. The bit about A and also G was a joke people. It was a hypothetical, notice the word “technically”. Please stop getting so up in arms about it.
I’m not saying that people with a 34E should start shopping for 42As or 30Gs.
