What is is 38d big?

When discussing bra sizes, "38D" is a specific size rather than an indication of being "big" or "small" in an absolute sense, as breast size can be subjective and relative to a person's body and other sizes around them.

Here’s a breakdown of what 38D means in bra sizing:

1. Band Size (38): This number represents the circumference of the ribcage, measured just under the bust. A band size of 38 inches is relatively larger than smaller band sizes (e.g., 32 or 34), indicating a broader ribcage.

2. Cup Size (D): The letter denotes the cup size, which is the volume of the breast. A "D" cup suggests a larger breast volume compared to smaller cup sizes like A, B, or C. However, cup size is relative to band size. For example, a 38D and a 34D have different volumes, where a 38D cup is larger in volume than a 34D.

In terms of whether 38D is "big," this can vary:

• Relative to Other Sizes: Compared to smaller sizes, both in band and cup (e.g., 34B, 36C), 38D could be considered large.
• Relative to Body Proportions: On a person's body with a broad chest, 38D might look proportional rather than "big."

It's also important to note that societal perceptions of size can vary. What one person views as "big," another might see differently. Additionally, comfort, fit, and how a person feels in a bra are more important than size labels alone.
