Are bra sizes the same in Colombia as in the US?

OK I have to ask this since it seems to be an ongoing debate in my household. Can someone please give me a serious answer real quick because I imagine the responses I'll get afterward.

From what I know in the US, the number is the BAND above the ribcage and the letter is the CUP size. If you get a breast enhancement, the band shouldn't change (much if at all) rather just the cupsize.

I have a bunch of colombianas that say no, the number changes. Who's right? is bra sizing different down here?

Hey bufalo. According to my source - and I would consider her an authority on the topic, the bra sizes in Colombia are identicle to the bra sizes in the US. If somebody is a 34C in the US, they are the same in Colombia.

Robert Jorge says on Oct 17, 2007, 18:54:

But, if a women gets a breast enhancement, it can change the chest size too (number), not just the cup size (letter). Especially if the boob-job creates a much bigger set, the woman might feel more comfortable in a larger chest measurement bra. But, you are fundamentally correct - breast enhancement changes the cup size (C,D,DD!!) for the most part. The chest size is not as significantly changed. For instance, going from a small B to a C might not require a larger measurement bra - just the bigger cups.

I go by the Old Time Tested "Handfull" Measurement method--Way less then a Handfull(I have big hands-mani largos), maybe a 32B, Handfull with fingers curved--maybe 36C. Fingers and hands open wide as in basketball gripping mode--44D + or better. This method has never been known to fail,,,Works worldwide, metric, nonmetric ect,,,

FYI - Pants sizers are not the same for women a 6 in Colombia is between a 0-1 in America. Damm, American women are large!

now that we are speaking about bra sizes...why is it that a lot of Colombian women tend to wear a smaller bra (maybe 1 bra size) ....I see many girls wearing a bra that is for a teenager...like they are trying to show cleavage when they maybe have small tityies....it really looks weird....they pull their tits together with a small bra to impress the men?????...it look very weird.....use the right size bra and show what you have period

listo

Speak for yourself. There is nothing wrong with a nice sized pucha.

I'd like to do some hands-on research on this very topic!

ColombianoGringo says on Oct 18, 2007, 13:23:

Do you mean that pant sizes are different? I think that a size 6 in Colombia is like a size 4 in the US. I guess they use UK sizes.

Hmmm... maybe there should be a fabulous prize for the first woman brave enough to post in this thread.

houstongal says on Oct 18, 2007, 21:21:

It is quite amusing to read a post about bra sizes and seeing only men responded to it!

Unfortunately I can't provide an answer to the OP. I haven't bought a bra in Colombia, nor do I have any experience with implants to be able to confirm that the measurement along with the cup size would increase with an implant. But you boys can carry on with your boob talk.....

Colombiche says on Oct 18, 2007, 21:26:

Houston Gal.... wins the price.

Yes, brasizes are the same, no further details necessary LOL.

Hmmm, guess the prize wasn't sufficiently fabulous.

MT, the prize should've been your light-up bra! sparkly, colorful, and lights! Now that's a fabulous prize! ;-)

bufalo says on Oct 19, 2007, 16:41:

wouldn't it be......

(this is where one of poco's laughing figures should go)



HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

I've bought a couple bras in Colombia and original bought them in my U.S. size.... and it did not fit.... So, it might be the maker or something... But, I was technically bigger in Colombia then I am here.... Hell, I'm just going to stop wearing one period!
