32D

32D commonly denotes a bra size in the band-and-c cup sizing system used for women’s lingerie. In this usage, the number 32 refers to the measurement of the underbust (the band circumference), while the letter D indicates the cup volume relative to that band. In the United States and many other markets, cup sizes progress roughly as AA, A, B, C, D, DD (and beyond), with each step representing a larger cup. A 32D therefore represents a relatively small band paired with a relatively large cup. However, actual cup volume can vary by brand and country, and a 32D in one brand may fit differently from a 32D in another due to differences in construction and sizing conventions.

In practice, finding a comfortable fit involves measuring snugly around the ribcage under the bust and around the fullest part of the bust, then consulting brand-specific size charts. Because padding, cup construction, and band elasticity differ between brands, customers are often advised to try multiple sizes or styles and to prioritize fit and support over a strict numerical label.

Beyond lingerie, 32D can also appear as a model number or catalog designation in various industries, such as electronics, appliances, or automotive parts. In those contexts, 32D has no standardized meaning and must be interpreted from accompanying product information or documentation. As a result, the same label can refer to different things depending on the domain.
