As a dude, boobs or talking about such has yet to make me uncomfortable. Actually, I am quite supportive of the subject.
Go to a specialty shop and see if you can't get your hands on a 30c (or order one from herroom, try it on, and use the free returns if it doesn't fit.) I had the same problem with a 32D/ 34C, went to a specialty bra shop and got measured as 30DD. (Vicky's is worse than useless in that regard. They will fit you into one of your sizes even if it's not right.)

Thanks. I'll be here all week. Try the bone broth; it's primal.
[QUOTE=namelesswonder;1062530]Okay, sorry dudes, if this makes you uncomfortable. I don't know why, we're talking about boobs after all.
Anyway, I measure as a 32B (32" underbust and 34" bust, 2" difference apparently makes a B cup), but those don't fit me. Cupless bras (sports style) either have pre-formed boob pockets that I don't fill out, or flatten me entirely. If I get a regular cup bra (which I hate, because they're always padded/stiff and I don't like feeling unnatural like that), 32 doesn't fit me. 34A is comparable, but the cup is too large. I could maybe make a 32B work if I bought/made some extenders, but either way, it requires a lot of new bras. Most of mine are 34As that I just don't fit into and the rest are really ancient cloth bras that fit me okay. My boobs recently got a tiny bit larger, but not enough to affect how I fit into commercial sizes. I can tell because two of the bras (same style) tend to drift upwards throughout the day. Teen brands/styles tend to run a little smaller, so sometimes a 34A can work out, but usually not.
I think I'm just doomed.[/QUOTE]
I've had success with this way of measuring. It seems to be more accurate

The measuring method described is how I last measured. I'll measure again tonight to make sure. I wonder, also, if I measure at something in between, if I should round up or down (for under bust measurement).
NK, I checked out those sites. I see some styles I like. I'll check return policies and maybe try a couple. I'd like a low-cut V-neck nude bra for white dress shirts, and some V-neck or camisole styles for t-shirt wear. I wish I could wear lacey bras, but those usually aren't cut well for me.
Lace itches worse than wool for me. I have a lacy bra, but that's mostly for those black tank tops where I know the straps will shoe.
Men are more visually-oriented. Talk is fine, but...
[QUOTE=honeybuns;1061534]About the oil spot on the shirt. I have successfully removed many oil spots, even after they have been dried, by putting Dawn dishwashing liquid on it, letting it sit for a bit then laundering it. Give it a try before you give up on your favorite shirt.[/QUOTE]
i was going to recommend this same thing - but only the blue dawn. And it doesn't seem to matter when you use it - even if the shirt has been washed a million times, it always seems to work well for removing the stain. I've had to use it to get bacon grease stains out of my shirts more recently.
YAY for the ring arriving! Have you seen it yet?
For what it's worth, I picked out my own ring too. Brad had picked one out and put a deposit on it, but then apparently second guessed himself and said "let's go ring shopping". I found out later that he'd picked one out and it was beautiful! I don't know why he second guessed. it would have been just as perfect.
I don't think I'll see it until he gets it re-sized and actually presents it to me. I don't know what he's planning for that. I wouldn't think re-sizing would take long, so I hope it's soon. If he wants till Valentine's Day, I will be sad!
