Did you know up to 80% of women are walking around every day with the wrong bra size? Now think, do you hate wearing a bra? Well ladies, it may be because you're wearing the wrong bra size!
First, put on a comfortable bra... one that doesn't minimize or boost your breasts. (Not a bra that's too small, or has a lot of padding, like a push up bra.) Then grab a measuring tape that can wrap easily around your body. Don't have one? Use a piece of string and then measure it!
Band size:
Measure under your armpits, and across the top of your chest, above your breasts. Don't let it sag around your back, make sure it's snug, but not too tight.
How many inches do you get? If this measurement is an even number, that will be your band size. If it's an odd number, add 1 inch and that will be your band size. So if you measure 36 inches around, your band size will be 36. And if you measure 35 inches around, your band size will be 36.
Cup size:
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the measuring tape level with the ground.
Now subtract your band measurement from your cup measurement. Each inch represents a cup size. For example, if your band measurement is 34 inches and your cup measurement is 35 inches, the difference is one inch, and your cup size is A. If your band measurement is 34 inches and your bust measurement is 37 inches, the difference is three inches, and your cup size is C.
Difference (band minus cup measurement) / Cup size
Less than 1” / AA
1” / A
2” / B
3” / C
4” / D
5” / DD
Make sense? I hope this helps! : )
