Sister sizes of 46B
44C and 48A hold a similar cup volume to 46B with a tighter or looser band. If the band of a 46B rides up, try 44C; if it digs in, try 48A.
With this profile, fit quality is often the bigger challenge — small cups on standard bands are often cut for a rounder shape than many bodies have, so gaping at the top edge is common. Balconette and demi cuts tend to follow a shallower curve better than full-coverage styles, and a band that stays put matters more than the cup label.

That count uses each brand's band range and largest cup (the smallest cup is not recorded) and includes ranges not yet checked.

What is 46B in European sizing?
A 46B corresponds to 105B in European sizing and 120B in French/Spanish sizing, by the usual correspondences. The conversion changes the band numbering, and from DD up the cup letter too (US DD = EU E); individual brands can differ.
Is 46B big or small?
It pairs a standard or larger band with a shallower cup. Cup letters mean nothing alone: a cup only has a volume relative to its band, which is why 44C and 48A hold a similar volume to 46B.
My 46B doesn't fit — what should I try?
If the band rides up or feels loose, go to 44C. If the band digs in while the cup is fine, go to 48A. If the cup overflows, try one cup up in the same band; if it wrinkles empty, one cup down. Two minutes with the calculator gives you a fresh estimate.
