Bra expert uses fruit to explain lingerie sizing in viral video

May 2024 · 4 minute read

A bra guru has brilliantly demonstrated how sister sizes work by using different fruits to show how cup volume can vary based on band length — stressing that cup letters are not one size fits all. 

TikTok user Madison Anne Hill has been using her @madisonanneh account to help her 69,000 followers find the perfect fitting bra by educating them on sizing, which can be complicated to understand.  

In one video, which has been viewed more than 1.9 million times, Madison lines up a lime, a lemon, and apples to explain how they can all be D cups despite being completely different sizes.

'A D cup does not automatically mean no matter your band size that you have boobs this big,' she says, holding up a green apple meant to represent a 36D cup.  

'A band size of 30 can have girls this big and be a DD cup, and someone with a band size of 38 can have girls this big and be a B cup, OK? This is the case with every cup size. As the band size is increasing, the cup is getting bigger.'

Madison says if people buy a 34D bra, and it feels a little too big in the band, they may be tempted to exchange it for a 32D bra, but that would be a mistake. 

She picks up the lemon, which represents the cup volume of a 32D bra, to compare it to the much larger apple.

'What we need to do is find other sizes that can hold an apple,' she explains, which is sister sizing at its core.   

Sister sizes are alternate sizes where the cup volume stays the same even though the band size and cup letter change. 

'In the case of a 34D, a 32DD/E and a 36C can hold the same amount of volume,' Madison says, adding: 'Just remember, no matter what fruit you have, you're beautiful, but you can't be trying to fit apples into bras that hold lemons.'

Fans took to the comments to thank her for the explainer, although some admitted they were more confused than ever. 

'I feel like I've been lied to my whole life,' one woman wrote, while another added: 'I never understood how friends had the same cup size as me but they looked so tiny.'

Others who were sick of people doubting their bra size also praised Madison for the visual demonstration. 

'THANK YOU! People are always like "no you’re not" when I tell them I’m a D and I have to be like "it depends on the band size! I have a tiny rib cage,"' one TikTok user shared.  

'Yes! I am a 28F (equal to a 32D) & most ppl are super confused when I tell them or are like that’s HUGE & I’m like no, I just have a small rib cage,' someone else commented. 

Madison's post was a follow-up to her previous videos about sister sizing and why it's important.  

'We need to collectively destroy the idea that bigger cup sizes mean your boobs are huge — because that's not true,' she says in a recent clip. 'The only thing your cup size is is the outcome of the ratio between your band and your bust.'

'It has absolutely nothing to do with how "big" your girls are,' she adds. 'It's patriarchal bulls**t that's been fed to us because "the bigger your boobs are, the more desirable you are." And that's not true!'
