Hi, Not sure I can answer your question correctly. I wear two prosthetics. One on each side. Mine are number 5's. I say if what you have is comfortable and looks good thru your clothes don't worry about the number. The people at my bra shop are wonderful and could answer this for you. Make sure you are going to a top of the line place. I have several bras, but only one set of prosthetics. I do have a 2nd set for my swim suit. And sometimes I wear the swim ones for every day.

Hope this helps, Catherine
