How to figure out sports bra size for large breasts, small ribcage?

I usually wear a 30FF (uk) but sometimes wear a 32F(us) since I can't always afford to buy bras online.

You wouldn't buy a regular bra just by the band, so you really shouldn't buy a sports bra just based on HALF of your bra size - sports are when you need the most support, after all!

The thing to remember with sports bra, adn i found this out recently wen trying on a shock absorber, is that they are supposed to fit tighter than regular bras. Otherwise the band would move and cause chafing whilst doing the sport.





With sports bras it is best to try them on in store. As you are a large cup size you would need one that encapsulates and compresses, although it may only be the first. You will find that most larger sizes do both. When you try the bra on do the jump test - if the bra moves or straps fall down it is too small. And remember it should fit tighter and not move.





If you are buying offline and using the tape measure method - Do Not measure yourself - it is almost impossible to get an accurate size efrom this. Get somebody else to help you and when the tape measure is put around you underbust raise your arms. I personally don't find this method works well. What is better doing is getting measure by someone in store that has experience without using a tape measure.
