Many European brands (and some American brands) use the lettering &#8220;E&#8221; for a DD cup <strong>size<\/strong> and &#8220;F&#8221; for a DDD cup size.<\/p>\n<p>Also, is a DDD the same as an E? It might seem confusing, but yes a DDD is the same as an F\u2014at times they are labeled differently based on the brand. After size D you can either go up to size DD which is the bra <strong>size<\/strong> equivalent to size E, size DDD which is equivalent to <strong>size<\/strong> F, and <strong>size<\/strong> DDDD which is equivalent to size G.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, is an E cup bigger than a DD? For some reason, we have been brainwashed into thinking that boob sizes go from A-DD, DD being the biggest boob\/bra size. DD is actually at the lower end of the scale, there is still E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, and K cup above that.<\/p>\n<p>Beside the above, is E cup size considered big? E is considered a fairly big cup <strong>size<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, what&#8217;s the difference between a DD and E cup? Fundamentally, cup size is measured by the difference between your under bust (i.e. band size) and your bust \u2013 measured around the fullest part of the breasts (generally across the nipples). In the US, the DD bra cup is the same as the E bra cup. However, the DD <strong>bra<\/strong> cup is smaller than the E <strong>bra<\/strong> cup in the UK.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter
