How to Measure Your Bra Size: Simple Steps
To find your correct bra size, start by measuring with a tape measure. Follow these step by step measurements:
-
Standing Straight, Wrap the tape measure snugly around your torso, just under your boobs, to measure your underbust. Make sure the tape is parallel to the floor and not too tight or loose.
-
Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust. This is your bust size.
-
Round both measurements to the nearest inch for accuracy.
-
Subtract your underbust measurement from your bust measurement to determine your cup size.
For example, if your underbust measures 32 inches and your bust measures 36 inches, the difference is 4 inches. Using the table below, a 32-inch band and a 4-inch difference would correspond to a 32D. Always check that your boobs are fully enclosed in the cups with enough room—no overflow or gaping.

Woman Bust Cup Size
Subtract your underbust from bust measurement. Use the difference in inches and your band size to find corresponding bra size on the chart. Cup sizes and cup letters (A, B, C, D, etc.) indicate cup volume, which is the space inside the cup for your breast shape, as well as important aspects of support, lift, and comfort.
Understanding Sizes, Sister Sizes, and Fit
Sizes can vary by brand, style, and country, so always reassess your fit regularly. The table above is a reference for different sizes, including band sizes, cup sizes, and cup letters. For example, if you measure a 34C but the band feels too tight, try a sister size like 36B, which has the same cup volume but a different band size and cup letter. Sister sizes are helpful for troubleshooting fit issues and finding a more comfortable or supportive bra or swimsuit.

The bra band should fit snugly around your torso and body, staying parallel to the floor without riding up. A loose band can cause slipping, lack of support, and discomfort, while a band that is too tight can dig in. Adjust the band, straps, and hook for a perfect fit. Make sure the underwire sits flat against your chest, and check for room in the cups, your breasts should fit comfortably without overflow, gaping, or armpit bulge. If you notice straps slipping, the band riding up, or bulging near the armpit, adjust the fit or try a different size.
Different styles and the right style of bra can help achieve the perfect bra fit for your body shape and needs. Sports bras are designed for active wear and impact support, while padded or push-up styles can enhance cleavage. Choose styles that suit your breast shape and intended wear.

Health Benefits of Proper Bra Sizing
By following step by step measurements, you are on your way to better posture. Wearing a well fitting bra is about more than just style, it’s essential for your health and comfort. The right bra sizing ensures that your breast tissue is properly supported, which can make all the difference in how you feel throughout the day. When bras fit comfortably, they help distribute the weight of your breasts evenly, reducing strain on your shoulders, neck, and back. This support can help prevent common issues like shoulder pain, neck tension, and even headaches that often result from poorly fitting bras. By choosing the correct bra size, you’re not only enhancing your comfort but also promoting better posture and overall well-being. Remember, wearing a bra that fits well is a simple step that can have a big impact on your daily comfort and long-term health.
