1. What is Bra Size Measurement?

Bra size measurement involves two key measurements: the under bust (band size) and over bust (cup size). Getting accurate measurements is essential for proper fit and support.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard bra sizing formulas:

Where:

• Under Bust — Measured tightly around the ribcage just below the breasts
• Over Bust — Measured around the fullest part of the bust
• Cup Size — Determined by the difference between over and under measurements

Explanation: The band size provides the support while the cup size determines the volume of the breasts.

3. Importance of Proper Bra Sizing

Details: Wearing the correct bra size improves comfort, posture, and breast support. Ill-fitting bras can cause back pain and other issues.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure without a bra, keep the tape parallel to the floor, and don't pull too tight. Enter measurements in inches.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How often should I measure my bra size?
A: Every 6-12 months or after significant weight changes, pregnancy, or breast surgery.

Q2: Why does my bra size vary between brands?
A: Different brands may have slightly different sizing standards. Always check each brand's size chart.

Q3: What if my measurement falls between band sizes?
A: If between sizes, try both and choose the more comfortable one. Bands stretch over time.

Q4: How tight should the under bust measurement be?
A: Snug but not cutting in. The tape should be tight enough to stay in place without slipping.

Q5: What if my cup size calculation seems incorrect?
A: Breast shape and density affect fit. The calculator provides a starting point - try different styles.
