Hello!
I just ordered my first NB kit and figured I'd start with the small. But then I got confused about what cup size I am. I was just looking up how to measure your cup size on the Internet and it says you should subtract your measurement across the nipples from your band size. Well, I just measured myself and I'm 28" underbust, 31.5" across the fullest part (across the nipples) and get this, only 31" across the chest, only a scarce couple of inches above the nipples. I'm completely flat! AND droopy! But according to that method I should be a B cup (2.5 inches difference)! I'm so confused. I can barely wear bras from the store, I have so little boob to work with they all just sit on top of my breasts, forget about pushing them up or using pads. (i do have side boob though, I would say most of the difference in inches is from that, but my side boob can't be pushed "up".)
I have reason to think ill be a quick responder, having gained and lost 50 lbs twice with two children ( i'm 5'4" abd 110 lbs) and having breastfed the last one (we quit about 7/8 months ago.) so I wonder if choosing the small size kit was a good idea or if I'll grow out of it too quick. Any other ladies out there little like me? What did you do? And of course any one else who has some advice please share! Thanks!
