Sorry I have to disagree with Melissa. She should definitely NOT go with the XL's. The XL's should only be used by experienced NB users who have moved up to them, or someone that is already big chested, by that I mean someone with say a 32DD, 34D, etc.
I personally think the mediums are a good place for you to start, everyone is different. I was a 32B when I started NB and I started with the mediums and I think it was a good move. I used them for 2 months before moving to the next size. I then moved to the L's, at the time the CL's weren't around so then I jumped to the XL's. I'm currently a 32D (probably a 32DD now) and I use the CL's and still don't fill them! So personally I think you should start with the M's, then after you have filled them within your first minute of pumping you can move on to the L's. The L's are actually smaller than the CL's. Sorry gals, but I don't see why everyone pushes that size so much? They are bigger than the L's! I fill the L's with no issue, I do not fill the CL's and have plenty of room to go! And I'm 3 cup sizes bigger than a 32B!
So yea, I say go with whichever size you feel best with, and when in doubt email Lucy and ask her, she's the best at cup sizing. Just remember though, going with a size that is too big for you, can cause more harm than good. Because in order to get it to stay on, you would have to use more pressure than you will need at the time, thus putting too much pressure on yourself, and it might cause tissue damage. That's why I personally think it's better to be safe with a smaller size like the M's to start with, then move up from there than to start with a size that may be too big. But again everyone is different and reacts different to NB.
