Bras are like clothes, with different designs and cutting to accentuate different shapes of the breast. No one bra fits all shape.
How do you find out whether a bra fit you or not? Here's some tips.
Try doing your own measurement for bra and cup size and check if it matches your current bra size. If the size differ it might mean that your bra size have changed.
Your bra size consist of two figures; your back size and your cup. You will need to take two measurements using a tape measure.
Back Size : The measurement is taken around the body directly under the bust or your breasts (over your present bra).
Especially when buying a strapless bra, the bra has to fit slightly tighter but not too tight otherwise unsightly bulges would be formed. Use the following table to find your exact bra size.
Back Measurement (cms) Bra back size
63 - 67 30
68 - 72 32
73 - 77 34
78 - 82 36
83 - 87 38
88 - 92 40
Cup size: this is determined the difference between bra back size and the measurement around the fullest part of the bust.
Calculate the difference of the 2 measurements, rounding it off to the nearest inch. Use the value to find out its corresponding cup size in the table below.
Difference Cup size
1" A
2" B
3" C
4" D
5" E
6" F
After you have obtained both values, combine the two to get your exact fit size.
Also, if the bra fits tightly or is uncomfortable even though it is the same size as what you have measured, it might mean that the bra's design have a slightly different cutting or is more suitable for a different breast shape from yours.
Take your time the next time you shop for undergarments. Ask the shop's staff for help as they can help you do a more accurate measurement and give a good recommendation on which bra they carry is suitable for you.
A good bra of the correct fit is essential to a woman’s breast, and majority of women are still unaware that they are not wearing the right bra. Women today should be aware that wearing the wrong bra size could cause all sorts of medical problems. Some of these symptoms includes backache, shoulder pain, neck ache, tender, aching bust, soreness under bust, grooves in shoulders, and bad posture.
Better fitting bras not only feel comfortable but also help your clothes to look better. A well-fitted bra is similar to a pair of well-fitting shoes. Women should re-measured regularly especially during pregnancy, following childbirth, weight loss or weight gain - as the breast size can change dramatically.
The advantages of a correct fit bra includes no more soreness under the bust, pulling the back down, lifting the shoulder swaps and popping back in what has flowed out, making four boobs.
