What is is 36dd big?

It's tricky to say definitively if a 36DD is "big" because it's relative and depends on various factors:

  • Relative to band size: A DD cup size on a smaller band size (like a 32DD) will generally look and feel different than a DD cup size on a larger band size (like a 36DD). The volume of breast tissue is distributed differently.
  • Body proportions: What looks "big" on one person might look perfectly proportional on another, depending on their overall frame and body shape. Someone with wider shoulders and a larger ribcage might find a 36DD fits them proportionally.
  • Personal perception: Some people consider any D cup or larger to be "big," while others have a different perception. What one person considers large, another might consider average or small.
  • Average size: While bra sizes vary widely, a 36DD isn't necessarily considered an unusually large size. The average bra size has increased over time, and many women wear a 36DD or larger. You can read more about bra size statistics.
  • Sister sizes: It's also important to consider sister sizes. A 36DD has a similar cup volume to a 34DDD or a 38D. The fit can vary between sister sizes due to differences in band and cup proportions.
  • Fit is more important: Ultimately, the most important thing is finding a bra that fits properly. A well-fitting 36DD will look and feel better than a poorly fitting bra of any other size. Getting a professional bra fitting can help ensure a comfortable and supportive fit.
