    Yeah the pill made mine go from a C to a D but lately I've been falling out of most of my bras even though I don't think they've gotten bigger?! :confused:

    Are you sure? I thought that the back size and cup were independant of each other?

    I would love to go down two cup sizes.
    Sure isn't the cup size directly related to the difference between your back and boobs.

    Just bought a fab 50s style red polka dot bikini in La Senza.

    Had to get a DD top but size 8 bottoms. I think I'm looking a little top heavy. Although is it just me or are the sizes in la senza tiny?

    I was a B cup until I was 19 then went to a C. Since going on the pill, I've gone up to a D.

    may I ask what pill you went on?! I am an 32A usually although they do seem bigger lately for some reason. Anyhoo I'm on dianette for my skin, (which does NOT work), and it has never changed the size of my chest. I dont know if some other brand might improve them?

    Yes but I though they were independant because lets say the difference is 3", weather your back is 32 or 40 your still a C cup.

    My little sis is either a 34 or 36G. Impressive, at 19. She's a lot slimmer than I am, but we're both busty. I can never get a bra to fit properly. I get measured, try to get fitted and they never stock my size. Anywhere. I've become convinced that they don't actually make any in my size. I compensate by adding at least two sizes to my back so I can get cups (currently a H) that don't give me the 4 boobs look. Then I spend the entire time dragging at my straps and the underwire always pops out of the right cup. Stretching up to get something and feeling one of the twins attempt an escape is never good! Whoever said they want big boobs can have both of mine, I'll trade in a heartbeat.

    That really sucks Blush. This may be an obvious question but have you tried getting measured in a few different places? Or ordering from specialist places like Bravissimo? There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to get good bras that look good and give good support.

    It's trial and error campervan; there's no one pill that's guaranteed to increase the size of your boobs. If the Dianette isn't working for your skin then you could probably start looking at other pills instead (there's loads of good advice in the Contraceptives mega-thread sticky) and maybe one of them will do do the trick. If not, there's always chicken fillets ;)

    Do those chicken fillet things work? I've never had the need of them. Do they not fall out etc?

    My bfs step-sister bought a pair when she was over visiting us (she's 16 btw!). They looked ridiculous though because she looks Indian and has very dark skin and the chicken fillets are a peachy flesh colour so you could see them peeking out sometimes and they looked really weird. I actually loled!

    I tried explaining to her I didn't get boobs til I was 19 but she thought she looked gorgeous so I said nothing else!

    Seconded about trading! I've been slowly going from a 32E to a 32FF over the last year! Just stop growing!! It's tough enough getting an E but now i'm having loads of trouble getting a FF.

    Have you been to the one in Brown Thomas? They're actually really good. A week after being told I was "definitely a 32C" and having the fitter in M&S getting annoyed at me when I said that that wouldn't fit me (it didn't, at all!) I headed to BT's and they said I was a 32E. That was two years ago and now I'm a 32F or FF.

    You definitely shouldn't get a bigger back size. the bigger your boobs are the more important it is to have a good supportive back strap. If the back is too loose all the weight is on your shoulder straps which can cause neck and shoulder pain. And they won't be getting the support you need. A friend of mine who'd be about the same size as me was wearing bra's like that and had really bad shoulder pain, once she got fitted her shoulder pain went away totally!!

    Fantasie go up to a G or H and i'm pretty sure House of Fraser have makes that go up to a H. Sorry if you've tried there already but hopefully they'll have something!

    I've heard of so much research that shows people are wearing back sizes too big with cup sizes too small so loads of people are F's but don't wear them! If they did maybe they'd make pretty bra's in those sizes!! I'd love to own pretty bras!
