How to Measure Your Bra Size at Home

How to Measure Your Bra Size at Home

Did you know that 80% of women wear the wrong bra size? Wearing the correct size not only improves your silhouette but also ensures comfort and support. Here is a simple guide to measuring yourself at home.

What You Need

  • A soft measuring tape
  • A non-padded underwire bra (for best results)
  • Examples: A notepad to write down your measurements

Step 1: Measure Your Band Size

Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Make sure the tape is level.

  • If the number is even, add 4 inches.
  • If the number is odd, add 5 inches. This is your band size.

Step 2: Measure Your Cup Size

Wrap the tape loosely around the fullest part of your bust (usually at nipple level). Round to the nearest whole number.

Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

Subtract your band size (Step 1) from your bust measurement (Step 2).

  • 1 inch difference = A Cup
  • 2 inches = B Cup
  • 3 inches = C Cup
  • 4 inches = D Cup
  • 5 inches = DD/E Cup

Conclusion

Remember that size can vary by brand. Use these measurements as a starting point and don't be afraid to try different sizes to find what feels best.
