Have you ever wondered why your bra feels uncomfortable after a few hours? Why the straps slip, why the underwire hurts, or why your bust slightly spills out of the cup? The answer is often much simpler than you think: you simply aren't wearing the right bra size. And you're not alone! According to several studies, nearly 80% of women wear the wrong size. So today, let's review together so you can finally say goodbye to bras that ruin your life.
The method to take your measurements correctly
To take bra measurements, follow these simple steps:
-
First measurement:
underbust circumference Place the measuring tape just under your bust, perfectly horizontal. The tape should lie flat against your skin without compressing you. Breathe normally and note this number in centimeters. This is your underbust measurement, which corresponds to your bra size number (75, 80, 85, 90, 95, etc.).
-
Second measurement:
bust circumference This time, how to measure the bust circumference? Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, usually at nipple level. Again, the tape should be horizontal and not tight. Ideally, wear a wireless bra or nothing at all for this measurement.
Calculating your size
Once you have your two measurements, it's time for the bra size calculation France. The difference between your bust and underbust measurements determines your breast cup. It's as simple as that!
How to find out your bra cup size?
The bra cup size guide: from A to F and beyond
- 13 cm difference = Cup A: A cup A corresponds to a small bust. If you have a band size of 75 cm and a bust measurement of 88 cm, you wear a 75 A bra.
- 15 cm difference = Cup B: The cup B is one of the most common. A 15 cm difference gives you, for example, a 90B if your band size measures 90 cm. The 90B bra suits a moderate bust.17 cm difference = Cup C: This enters the realm of generous cups. With a 17 cm gap, you need a cup C that offers good support.
- 19 cm difference = Cup D : Women with a beanie D often need a bra with a bra underwire reinforced for better support.
- 21 cm difference = Cup E : The bust size generous requires special attention. Theunderwire and the straps must be wide enough.
- 23 cm difference = Cup F and above : For cup sizes significant, the choice of a bra A proper fit is crucial to avoid back pain.
Concrete example of calculation
So, if you have 90 cm under your bust and 105 cm at bust level:
105 â 90 = 15 cm â cup B â bra 90B
