Hard to believe but estimates are that nearly 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Here are two methods to make sure you’re wearing the correct size bra.
Method 1 – Determining Band Size
First, position your measuring tape high on your back, under your arms and across the top of your chest, above the swell of your breasts. If this is an even number, it is your BAND size. It it’s uneven, add 1 inch.
Method 2 – Determining Band Size
Standing with your arms at your sides, position your measuring tape parallel with the ground just under your breasts. If this measurement is an even number, add 4 inches. If it is uneven, add 5 inches. This is your BAND size.
Determining Cup Size
Standing with your arms at your sides, position your measuring tape around your back, and over the fullest part of your breasts. It is best to take this measurement over a thin, unpadded bra. The difference between this measurement, and the band size determines your cup size. Here’s a chart to assist:
1 inch = Cup Size A
2 inches = Cup Size B
3 inches = Cup Size C
4 inches = Cup Size D
Proper fit of your bra not only ensures comfort, but promotes breast health. Your size may fluctuate for many reasons, so always measure before buying any new lingerie.
