Do you know how to BUY the right size bra?

Are you wearing the right size bra?

Almost 8 in 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra, you may be one of them. Why? Your body changes over time and your fit will change year to year as you lose or gain weight, exercise more or less, and so on. If you are experiencing discomfort, spillage over your cups or back strap, tight straps, or a gap between your cups, you are most likely wearing the wrong size bra.

Getting Started

It's best to measure when you are wearing your most comfortable bra - one that has no padding and is not a minimizer.

STEP 1: BAND SIZE

Measure under your arms, high on your back, across the top of your chest. If this measurement is an even number, this is your band size. If an odd number, add 1" to determine your band size.

STEP 2: CUP SIZE
Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Next, subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement; each inch represents a cup size. For example: if your band measurement is 34" and your bust measurement is 36", the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you'd wear a B-cup.
