In this section you can learn how to find your cup and bra size. In this article, we will provide you with detailed information and practical advice so that you can find the perfect bra that fits your body in a comfortable and flattering way when wearing your lingerie .

Calculate bra size and cup

Step 1: Bust Girth Measurement

The first step to finding your bra size is to measure your bust circumference. Which is located under the chest at the height of the thorax. Follow these steps to get an accurate measurement:

  1. Use a soft, flexible measuring tape.
  2. Stand in front of a mirror and make sure the tape is level around your body.
  3. Place the tape measure just below your breasts to measure the circumference of your torso, making sure it is snug, but not too tight.
  4. Take note of the measurement in centimeters.
  5. 15 cm is added to the measurement obtained.

Example: It gave you 70 cm, so adding 15 cm would give you 85 cm bra circumference size.

Step 2: Cup Measurement

The next step is to determine your cup size. In this case, the breast contour is measured by the height of the chest areolas, because this is where the greatest volume is. Follow these steps:

  1. Holding the tape measure around your body, measure the fullest part of your breasts. Make sure the tape is level and not too tight.
  2. Take note of this measurement in centimeters.
  3. Subtract the circumference measurement (without the 15 cm) from the cup measurement.
  4. The result will give you a number that corresponds to your cup size.
  5. Use the following table to calculate cup size:
Difference (cm) Cup
12-14

TO

14-16 b
16-18 c
18-20 d
20-22 AND
22-24 F
24-26 g
26-28 h

Step 3: Bra Size

This step consists of joining the two results obtained:

  1. The bra size would be the measurement of the chest contour added with 15 cm and the letter of the cup that was given to you, thanks to the difference obtained by subtracting the cup measurement from that of the chest contour.

Explanatory example

1. Sonia, when measuring the contour of the lower chest, gave her: 80 cm (without adding the 15 cm).

2. Then, when measuring the breast contour where there is more volume (nipple), it gives: 95 cm.

3. Subtract the cup measurement from the chest circumference: 95-80= 15, this difference of 15 means that the cup is B.

4. The 80 cm of the chest circumference is added 15 cm, 80+15=95, then the bra size is 9 5 .

Result: Sonia has a Spain bra size of 95B.
