Would like to see more discussion on how to adjust in an FBA for a larger than F cup. Max add here was for 1 1/4 inch, which seems to only get you to an F from B cup

Clear and excellent presentation of information! I'm so thankful I can watch it as many times as necessary to be able to comprehend it all, but it makes sense. This is one thing I really had no idea how to accomplish, but I'm confident I can do it now. Thank you so much!!!
