I rock some BIG ol' titties and I weigh 120 lbs. I think for the whole the trend may have to do with a larger sized majority but plenty of us twigs are walking around with cantaloupes majestically thrusting from our torsos.

Answer: Obesity.

But $exxxxy bra companies don't really want to talk about that.

  It's partially that but there are other factors as well. The average woman's bust size has been increasing since the 60's. The #1 potential cause: birth control pills.

  Implants wouldn't increase your band size, just your cup size. Unless the surgery makes exercising difficult, and then you put on weight.

Maybe Playtex should try selling bras that fit. They offer exactly zero bras in my size, 32DD, and I'm a very average-sized woman with a medium-small chest. They are probably selling larger bands because their sizing method places women in cups that are too small, which causes women to keep trying larger band sizes because they're in pain. Fitting is so inconsistent that I wouldn't rely on bra sales to tell us about how the population might have changed — especially a company that's telling small women to buy 34 bands and up.

  Yup. This. I remember trying to buy a Playtex bra once. I was measured and they claimed I should be a 44D. I put it on and laughed. It looked like a bra built for an ogre matron in the 1800s or something. Recently I got actually fitted for abrathatfits and 38J !! You can't make up for cup size with fucking band size. Idiots.

  I'm a small person.. Playtex does not offer a size 28 band so I do not buy their bras. I guess this is because they are too busy outfitting these large-trunked millennials.

Until Playtex makes something besides black, brown, beige, and bigger than a DDD, they can kick rocks. Until then I'm stuck with boring old Black Bali, 32 H cup here.

  Try some European retailers online! I'm sure you'll find some pretty lacy things. Sometimes I even just google my bra size. It works. I'm a bit of a small band/big cup zealot. I hate to see my sisters suffer. lol Marie Jo L'Aventure is expensive but they are convertible. :D

  The only bra I was able tk confidently say worked wonders or me was one I purchased last year. Sadly I can't remember the brand. And the store no longer carries my cup size. It was in a nice pink polka dot print. It worked so well I even took a pic of myself in it. It hoisted those puppies up nice. This is back when I was 42 H.

Most women don't realize they're wearing the incorrect size. I know I'm stating something most people already know.

I went mosy of my adult life thinking I was a 34-36DD. Came to find out I was in fact a 32 I cup, later went down to a 32H

  Yeah, but once you get over DD, the bras are so dang expensive - like, "holy jesus, how much of my paycheck is this going to eat up?" expensive.

  I am a 34-36 F and after a fitting and $175 for 3 BORING bras, I get them on eBay. My biggest complaint is there aren't any cute and fun bras for bustier women. Every time I go to Target or Kohls I weep silently to myself when I see the amount of options smaller breasted women get to choose from. What do i get? Black, white or nude. BOOOOO!!!!!

It may be in part because of the rise in finding your actual size, not just 'what fits best out of the bra sizes generally carried at the mall'. Lots of blogs about this, new bra boutiques devoted to this, even Oprah did a special on it.

http://www.oprah.com/style/Os-Bra-I…

In short, a perfectly fitted bra will lie flat on the skin on either side of the breast and against the sternum in between them, without digging into 'back fat' in the band. Let's say a woman could get that perfect fit with, for example, a 32 E. In that case, a 34 DD, a 36 D, and a 38 C would also kind of work while being somewhat ill fitting - something popping out somewhere. In previous years, that woman would be told by some mall store that she is definitely a 38 C because it's an easier mass-produced bra size to find and they would have plenty to sell to her. Now that there's more awareness on bra fit, she might be more inclined to demand a 36 D, a 34 DD, or a 32 E, as each will progressively fit her better while being more difficult to find. Mass produced bra companies like Playtex would prefer the former situation in which they didnt have to make each style in a million different sizes.

I was born in 1994.

Did I dodge this bullshit by like one year? Am I "Generation Y"?

I'm not a coddled, solipsistic brat, so I must be, right?

  Gen Y is the same thing as Millenial. The years for Millenial are early 80s-2000ish. I've seen different divisions. Sometimes I'm listed as Millenial, sometimes as Gen X.
  
  Every single generation has been called lazy/self-involved/egotistical/worthless by the old fogies who used to be in charge of journalism. It really has no meaning. We just have to wait for old people to die off, and then we can call everyone younger than us useless or whatever.

  Someone actually compiled photos of every Time/Newsweek/Life/whatever cover that proclaimed "Is [the most recent teen generation] the laziest, most self-interested, worthless generation yet?"
  
  Said magazine covers even went back to the days of black & white print. It really does happen every few years — shallow, armchair sociology aimed at selling magazines.
