Get Your Right Bra Size In Two Easy Steps!
Before you go looking for a bra that will fit you, you need to find out two things first:
- your band size
- your cup size
Only then can you find a bra that will fit you properly.
To find out your band size:
- measure around the body, just under the arms, with a measuring tape
- measure in inches
- remember to stand up straight and breathe normally
- if the measurement is an uneven number, round up to the next even number.
- measure around your body at the fullest part of the bust
- measure in inches
- be certain the measuring tape is secure against your back
- subtract first measurement from the bust measurement and look at the following chart to determine your size.
Here are some tips how to tell if your bra doesn’t fit correctly:

Difference between band and bust measurement = cup size
If you have a larger cup size, you might need a special bra for playing sports. These bras have extra support, reduce pain and physical discomfort caused by breast movement during exercise. If you don’t have a sports bra but feel like you need one, you can try wearing two bras at the same time to increase breast support.
