#3 How to measure your bra at home

Materials Needed:
  • A soft measuring tape
  • A mirror (optional, but it can be helpful)
Steps:
  1. Wear a Well-Fitting, Non-Padded Bra: Make sure the bra you're wearing fits well and isn't padded. This will provide a more accurate measurement.
  2. Measure Your Band Size:
    • Stand in front of a mirror to ensure the measuring tape is straight and not twisted.
    • Hold the measuring tape firmly around your ribcage, just under your bust. Make sure it sits parallel to the ground.
    • Take a snug measurement, but not too tight. The tape should be snug, but you should be able to breathe comfortably.

    Record this measurement in inches.

  3. Measure Your Bust Size:
    • Keep the measuring tape around your back, but this time, position it across the fullest part of your bust. This is usually over the nipples.
    • Again, make sure the tape is straight and parallel to the ground.
    • Take this measurement without squishing or pushing down your breasts. The tape should sit flat against your skin.

    Record this measurement in inches.

  4. Calculate Your Cup Size:
    • Subtract the band size measurement (step 2) from the bust size measurement (step 3). The difference will determine your cup size.

    For example, if your band size is 34 inches and your bust size is 36 inches, the difference is 2 inches. This would suggest a B cup.

    • Use the following guide to determine your cup size based on the difference:
      • 0 inch difference: A Cup
      • 1 inch difference: B Cup
      • 2 inch difference: C Cup
      • 3 inch difference: D Cup
      • 4 inch difference: DD (E) Cup
      • 5 inch difference: DDD (F) Cup
      • 6 inch difference: DDDD (G) Cup
      • And so on...

Putting it Together: Your bra size is a combination of your band size and cup size. For example, if your band size is 34 inches and your bust size is 36 inches, your bra size would be 34B.

Remember that sizing may vary slightly between brands, so it's always a good idea to try on bras or consult the brand's sizing guide if you're unsure.
