A 34C and a 32D are actually the same size cup size. Do men know this? Do all women know this? A 34C and a 32D are known as "sister sizes" which means that the cup will fit the same amount of breast tissue and the same applies for their other "sister sizes" of a 36B, 38A, 32D, 30DD, 28E.

A 34C bra size is an average or medium size. It's not that small, yet not large enough to be too heavy.
As we know, each human being is unique in their body parts, and thus, breast sizes are too. The difference of one inch lies between 34B and 34C, as well as 34C and 34D bra size.
It is less common to find your size in some lingerie stores and intimate apparel departments because of the tendency to only stock “core sizes” — which in bands means 32–38. There's just so much physical space to display all the bra sizes out there—which can run from 28–56 bands and A-N cups!

If you want something that's going to fit your form you'll have to go down a level to an AA or even AAA cup. They're not easy to find in Australia but they are out there.
A 32D has a bigger cup than a 32C. The width is supposed to be the same. Thus, depending on personal comfort, brand, or material, you may use 32C or 32D.
32B is smaller than 32C. It is because 32B has 32 inches of underbust measurement and 34 inches of busts measurement. Meanwhile, 32C has 32 inches of underbust measurement and 35 inches of busts measurement.
And when it comes to 32B bra size, it is on the small side of average. "B" cup is considerably small than average, and it is considered being small bra size. 32 is the band size which is the measurement around your chest, under the breasts where the band of the bra sits.
