Measurement help. Was wearing 36C, calculator now says 32DD/DDD

SpoilerMeasurement Check

Measurements at bottom of post.

In February I measured myself in centimetres (was the only flexible measuring tape I had) and used the calculator. Gave me 34C/D. Before I was wearing a 36C, I was falling out the bottom not filling out the cup. So I tried a 34C and a 34D. The D’s fit better and I bought some in different styles (push up, t shirt, bralette and balconette) but they never really fit great. The balconette fit the best but I was still falling out the bottom of all of them just not as often but now with bursting out the top. Seriously overflowing.

Fast forward to now and my boyfriend keeps pointing out that they look uncomfortable and that I’m constantly readjusting. He’s right, they’ve been getting more and more uncomfortable and the overflowing is getting worse. I’ve just been trying to ignore it lmao. I can’t really afford new bras all the time so I kind of accepted it. He got me an inch measuring tape and helped me measure myself. With these new measurements I’m getting a 32DD/DDD US or a 32DD/E UK. I’m looking for clarification on which would fit best. I don’t wanna waste money for them to not fit again lmao
