Generally, 36C bra size isn’t quite big. Instead, it is average. The size is not significant but is larger than 34C and 32C.

Most women believe that cup sizes are similar when the bra’s label has the same alphabet. However, this is wrong. An increase in the band size consequently increases the cup size as well. Thus, 36C is more prominent than cups 34C and 32C yet smaller than 40C and 38C.

36C Bra Size

All 36C bras have the same cup volume but different band sizes.

Women with 36C breasts usually have a larger bone structure than those with 32C breasts. However, 36C breasts look bigger on slender women.

36C bra size has the same cup volume as that of 32DD, 38B, and 40A. This phenomenon is referred to as sister sizing. Getting the right fit is paramount.

How Do 36C Breasts Look Like?

36C breasts are visibly more significant than C cup bras with small band sizes or 28D cups. The breasts are usually perkier and often downplayed to looking quite small. However, they are probably a handful.

Your body shape determines the appearance of your breasts. For instance, if you have bigger hips, you may seem to have smaller breasts since the size of the hips outshines that of the breasts.

36C breasts are visibly noticeable from the sides if you have a flat tummy. Apple-shaped women have a lot of fat on the stomach. This makes the breasts seem almost flat due to the fatty tissues.

36C breasts will appear more prominent on women with flatter tummies and petite frames.

Natural 36C Breasts and Implants

The appearance of breasts is usually determined by different factors such as lifestyle, rapid weight gain or loss, genetics, and body shape. 36C breasts are perky and less dense to cause any sagging. However, different factors, such as rapid weight loss and gain, could cause breast sagging. Also, age tends to affect the skin’s elasticity.

Since 36C breasts fall on the smaller side of average, women with this size can still consider breast augmentation to make them fuller. 36C breasts would look more prominent on a woman with a petite frame. Even after breast augmentation, one should wear the right bra size with a perfect fit for ultimate support.

Women with pear-shaped bodies often get breast implants to try and balance the lower half’s width. If you are thinking of going for implants, experts recommend going at least two cup sizes up your original. This will ensure that the breasts look natural.

If you have natural 36C breasts, you can go for augmentation of either 36DD or 36D. These sizes will make the breasts look natural. Remember, with natural 36C breasts, you usually have less fat on the body. Therefore, ensure that the size of the implant is super comfortable and looks natural.

Similarly, women with smaller breasts can opt for 36C breasts to make them appear perky and full. You are bound to achieve a more natural look if you go for 36C breasts if your original size is 36B or 36A.

However, breast implants are not always a solution to self-esteem issues and insecurities.

How to Make 36C Breasts More Prominent

The bra’s design, body shape, and different clothing preferences often dictate the appearance of the breasts. Push-up bras under tight tops usually make the breasts to appear more prominent, compared to going braless or wearing an oversized top.

On the same note, having a lot of weight on the stomach area overshadow the breasts, while a flat stomach makes them more visible. All factors considered, wearing a 36C push-up bra will make your breasts more prominent, especially if you have a flat stomach.

Unlike women with more massive breasts, women with 36C breasts have a vast collection of dresses to choose from.
