How to Measure Your Bra Size: A Step-By-Step Guide

Did you know that 70% of women are wearing the wrong bra size? It’s true! Finding the right size can be confusing, but it’s essential for both comfort and confidence. Wearing the wrong size can lead to discomfort, poor posture, and an unflattering silhouette.

 

In this guide, we’ll show you two simple ways to measure your bra size—by using our Bra Size Calculator or following a few easy manual steps. Whichever method you choose, we’re here to help you get the support you need to feel comfortable and confident all day long!

Method 2: Measure Manually at Home

 

What You Need

 

    • Tape measure
    • The best-fitting non-padded wired bra
    • Pen and paper to write down your measurements

     

    How to measure your bra size correctly

    Step 1: Find Your Band Size

     

    Wrap the tape measure snugly around your rib cage, directly under your bust. Be sure it’s not too tight or too loose. Round this number to the nearest whole number.

     

      • If your measurement is even, add 4 inches.
      • If your measurement is odd, add 5 inches.

     

    Example: If your underbust measurement is 31 inches, add 5 inches, making your band size 36.


    Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size

     

    Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust, typically across the nipple line. Keep the tape parallel to the floor, and ensure it rests comfortably on your skin—not too tight, but not too loose either.


    Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

     

    Subtract your band size (from Step 1) from your bust measurement (from Step 2) to determine the difference. Use the chart below to find your cup size.

     

    Example: If your bust size is 38 inches and your band size is 36 inches, then 38 - 36 = 2. According to the chart, a 2-inch difference means you’re a B cup.


    Note that this chart uses US cup sizes.

     

    Now, combine your band size with your cup size. For example, if your band size is 36 and your cup size is B, your bra size is 36B.

    How to Know If Your Bra Fits Correctly

     

    Once you’ve found your size, it's important to make sure your bra actually fits. Use this checklist to double-check the fit:

     

      • Straps: They should rest comfortably on your shoulders without digging in.
      • Band: It should be snug but comfortable, with enough room to fit two fingers underneath.
      • Underwire: The underwire should sit flat against your rib cage without poking or lifting away.
      • Cups: The cups should fully encase your breasts without any spillage on the sides or over the top.

    Conclusion

     

    Finding your perfect bra size doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether you prefer using our Bra Size Calculator or measuring manually, we’ve made it easy to discover the right fit. Once you know your size, shopping for bras becomes a lot more fun and less of a hassle!
