Best: try it on.\nSecond best: use your bra and pants sizes.

As many of the people before have said, no less than a C, and more than likely a D.  You want something that will be in proportion to your height and build.  An A or B would be too small, and if you are trying to pass in the general public, you don't want to look overly busty and draw unwanted scrutiny.  Therefore, I'd avoid anything larger than a D.  And as for ribcage, you are probably at least a 38, and possibly a 40.

It has to be comfortable and just right for the swimmers size. It doesn't really need to be all spandex.\nIf you are ladies, you have to have pads to make your _______ safe.\n\nFor men, just wear the suit.\n\nThere is Speedo and lots more stores out there looking for swimmers!

DSS (DeSoto Sport) makes a great one piece.  I like DSS because they do not have the grips on the shorts.  Cervelo makes a good suit, as does Zoot.  I would suggest going to your local shop and trying a couple of them on.  As I said, I'm partial to DSS but that's my preference.  They all fit a little differently so it depends on your body style.  (I'm a Clydesdale, 6'5"-250 lbs, so I'm not a typically sized triathlete.)\n\nAs for tips, unless you're a good swimmer, let the wave go for 5-10 seconds before you start swimming.  The mass start can be intimidating and getting kicked and hit on the swim can result in a lot of stress if you are not prepared.  On the bike, don't leave too much on the course.  Push hard but remember to be able to finish the run.  Leave it all on the run course.  Most importantly, smile and have fun!  That's what it's all about!\n\nGood Luck and have a good season!

Wear a bathing suit that's flattering to your figure.  If you don't feel confident in a skimpy bikini, try a tankini, boardshorts, or other less revealing suits.  \n\nAnd if your friend doesn't let you come to the party 'cause you don't meet the dress code, she's no friend. Lose her!

go to victoria's secret and let them measure you, or just get a tape measure and go around under your breasts (for band size. if it is odd -- add five, even -- add six. then take a measurement of the fullest part of your chest (stand up straight, making sure it's even all the way around). subtract the band number from this measurement. here's a chart:\ndifference ---------                    cup size\nthe same as band size   ------     AA\nup to 1" larger than " " ------    A\nup to 2" larger than " "  ------   B\nup to 3" larger than " "  ------   C\nup to 4" larger than " "  ------   D\nup to 5" larger than " "  ------   DD

Target measurements really depend on you.  \n\nNot having ever seen you to judge, but going solely on the limited information being provided; if I were you, I'd aim for:  32-34 / 24-26 / 34-36.\n\nMeasurements change, and really anything in that range will be good.  However, being outside of that range isn't terrible either.  It just depends what you're going for.

I also think it was Playtex that was advertising half sizes. Try Victoria Secrets. When you go in a Victoria Secrets store there is someone in there that will measure your breast for you and they'll let you know what would be a better fit.

When you go to the beach, just try to stay in the shallow parts of the water. If you're afraid that your bikini will fall off, try wearing a one piece suit...i know those kinds of suits don't really show off sexiness or whatever but it will make sure your suit won't fall off.

Remember that a rental shop will almost always put you on a board at the smallest end of your weight range. The best way to get sized up for a snowboard is to head into your local snowboard shop (not a big box store like Big 5, they don't know what they're talking about) and talk to the folks there. The length of a board has very little to do with how tall you are. Your weight, ability level, style of riding and the conditions you ride in all play a role in the length of board you choose.\n\nBy far, the most important decision you need to make is about your boots. Spend the most time here and if need be, the most money as well. Never buy the first pair of boots you have tried on and don't sacrifice comfort or performance to save a few bucks. There is nothing worse than boots that don't fit right. As far as fit is concerned, if a boot fits perfectly in the store then it is TOO BIG. A perfect fit is one in which you would think to yourself "If this boot were a bit bigger it would fit perfectly." Boots stretch after a few uses and you don't want your feet to be swimming in your boots.\n\nAs far as costs are concerned, snowboarding is expensive. There are definitely deals to be found but you can spend anywhere between $500 and $2000 just on equipment. Boards cost anywhere between $300 and $1000, bindings $100 to $500 and boots can be about that much as well. Remember, don't skimp on your boots and also don't forget to save some money for other important items. Items like gloves, goggles, pants, jacket, long underwear are very important. You could have the greatest setup in the world but may not be able to enjoy it because you can't see and are soaking wet.

A proper fitting suit, shouldn't be a struggle to put on.\n Give up the donuts or get a larger size.\n Sorry, but the idea of a wet suit is to allow water between it and you and that water adds a layer of insulation. If it's so tight that you can't get it on easily, not only do you lose that layer, but the lack of blood flow going to your extremities, will also be an issue, making you colder than if you HADN'T been wearing a suit.\n As for using lubricants to get the suit on, guess where all that stuff goes. Right into a fragile environment, when it washes out of the suit during use. All I saw mentioned were oils and  petroleum products that will also damage the suit or permeate the suit so badly, you'll smell like a combination Greek Deli/ Hungarian meat dish with a little garlic marinade that just rolled around on the floor of a Speedy Muffler King. Suits stink at the best of times, why accelerate the process?\n I did see some one mention talcum, if the suit is dry, that WILL work. Anyone here who dives a drysuit with latex seals will attest to that.

So they don't look weird in bathing suits.  If you want them, get them.  If you don't really care that much, I wouldn't do any kind of surgery without really needing/wanting it.

To determine your proper frame size, you’ll first need to get an accurate inseam measurement . Stand with your back against a wall, your bare feet 6" apart on a hard floor, \nlooking straight ahead.\n Place a book or carpenter’s square between your legs with one edge against the wall, and pull it up firmly into your crotch, simulating the pressure of your saddle while riding. Have a helper measure from the top edge of the book to the floor, in centimeters. (You can convert inches to centimeters by multiplying inches by 2.54.) Repeat two or three times, for consistency, and average the results to get your inseam length.
