How To Measure Your Bra Size:
Studies show that as much as 80% of UK women wear the wrong bra size. To avoid this, here is an easy way to measure yours.
1. Measuring Your and Size
Run a measuring tape (in inches) around your body from under your breast. Make sure the tape is wrapped not to tight and not to loose, with your hands your size. If you land on an odd number, round up to the nearest even number. This should be your band size. If you land on an even number, your band size may vary from that number, or the next even number up.
2. Determining You Cup Size
The best way to do this is to use your current bra as a starting point. Keep in mind that cups and band are sized relative to each other. So, for each band size you decrease, increase your cup size by one. For example, if you wore a 36B bra, and your new band size measured 32, your cup size should change to a C. You can be sure your cup size is correct when your breasts are not completely covered, and do not flaunt out either.
3. Trying On Your New Sizes
Now, try on a bra with the new sizes you have reached. When you take the bra from the hanger, lengthen its straps a little. Then put your arms through the straps and lean forward so your breasts fall into the cups. Then fasten the bra on the loosest hooks. While still leaning forward, wiggle your bra from the underwire a little bit to see if your breasts have room to breathe. Then, lift you breasts up and inward towards the center to fit your breasts into the proper place.
4. Checking The Band Size
The right band size should be the smallest you can hook the bra, and still be comfortable. If it is too loose, the bra will not be supportive, and if it is too tight, it can stop your circulation. You know it is the right size if you are able to run your finger (not thumb) inside of the band. Bras usually have 3 hooks because as the elastic loosens, you can tighten the bra, so try to make sure you can comfortably wear the bra on the smallest hook, or at least the second smallest. If you fasten the bra on the tightest hook and it is very uncomfortable, switch to a bigger band size.
5. Checking The Cup Size
The correct cup size is when there is no space in between your breasts and your bra (too big), and there is no spillage of your breasts from the bra (too small). The too small rule or your breasts spilling out works for low cut and push up bras as well. Make sure the underwire fits under your breasts. If you lift your hands up stretching, your underwire should not rise up above your breasts. If you are not sure whether the cup size is right for you, try on a size bigger to see the difference.
6. Seeing How It Looks With Your Top On
Once you have picked a bra that fits well, put on your top to see how it looks. If this bra is the one for you, it should give a smooth line under your shirt. If it is too big, the bra cut will be obvious. If it is too small, bulges of your breasts will show up from your shirt.
Other Tips:
• To give yourself a cleavage, lean forward and lift your breasts to the center of your bra and then up slightly out of it. Put your bra at the tightest hook to keep this firm.
• Do not wear bras to sleep. The band, no matter how comfortable or loose, will tighten your blood circulation around you breasts and increase your chances of breast cancer.
