Calculating the Appropriate Size of Your Bras

It is important for a woman to wear properly-fitted bras so that she would not suffer from back pains in the future. In order to find your appropriate bra size, you could do the following procedures:

  1. Prepare a tape measure for measuring and paper and pen for recording.
  2. Keep yourself relaxed. Stand straight. Breathe normally.
  3. Place the tape measure around your body and under your breast. Record the measurement that you got then add five to it. If you got 32, add 5 you and will get 37. If the result is odd number, round it to the succeeding even number. Therefore making it 38. That would be your band size.
  4. To find the cup size, measure your breast (across the nipples) while wearing bra without tightening. For example, you got 40.
  5. Subtract your band size from the second size you got (40 – 38 = 2). Now refer to the succeeding guide to get the cup size: 0=AA, 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D, 5=DD and 6=DDD.
