Question 1

If my real breast is a D and my reconstructed breast is a C, what size do I get to match sides?

Accepted Answer

I lost 2 cup sizes after radiation (normally a DDD), ordered the equivalent to a B cup (300grams) and it fits perfectly. I'd also ordered a 350gram (equivalent to a B+), but it was too heavy. Just the weight of the 300g balanced me out perfectly. You want to achieve balance (weight - wise) to be completely comfortable. Hope this helps, best wishes.

Question 2

How true to size do the forms run?

Accepted Answer

I ordered by my band size. Got 2, one in 300g the other 350g. The 350g was just too heavy while the 300g fit perfectly and matched the other breast. Wearing it in my regular 38DDD softcup underwire bra. Fits snuggly and it doesn't 'travel'.

Question 3

How about the size and position?

Accepted Answer

I bought two... a 300g and a 350g. Trying both, I knew that the 350g was too large because the weight was unbalanced with my other natural breast. Stayed with the 300g and it's a perfect fit! Perfect balance. I'd lost one or two cup sizes with my lumpectomy. So my choice of the 300g (with a 38 band) is equivalent to a B- cup.

Question 4

How do I figure out the sizes. They are not american sizes

Accepted Answer

Click on the diagram that shows how the sizes translate into US bra sizes.  I bought the size that corresponds to my regular bra size. It was okay but I decided to get the size smaller and it worked out fine.   This is an inexpensive alternative to prescription versions that I find comfortable and well worth the price.
