Bali vs Playtex
Two brands, two ways of grading a size. Here is how Bali and Playtex differ in system, range and fit, and which one to choose for your shape and your problem.
Bali or Playtex, in short
Bali and Playtex both label in US sizing. Bali runs true to size in the band and grades generous in the cup with wide wires; Playtex runs true to size in the band, grades generous in the cup, wide wires. Range: Bali 34–46 (some 32) / B–DDD; Playtex 34–50 / B–DDD. Convert your measured size into each and let fit decide.
Your measured size in both
Same body, two labels. Each result is your US size converted into the brand's system, then adjusted for how that brand grades. Same system, so the label matches: the fit adjustment is the difference.
