Berlei vs Triumph
Two brands, two ways of grading a size. Here is how Berlei and Triumph differ in system, range and fit, and which one to choose for your shape and your problem.
Berlei or Triumph, in short

Berlei runs firm in the band and true in the cup with average wires; Triumph runs soft / stretchy in the band, true in the cup, average wires. Range: Berlei AU 8–24 (US 30–46) / A–H; Triumph EU 65–110 (US 28–48) / A–H. 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. They use different systems, so the numbers differ even before fit.
