How To Find Your Bra Size

 All women love wearing sexy lingerie but unfortunately it is not always the most comfortable!! In fact an estimated 80% of women wear the wrong size bra!! It is not healthy for your breasts - especially if the breasts are in a too tight bra. So therefore it is vitally important to find the correct sized bra which can be done easily in your own home.

Firstly finding the back size:
It’s worth noting though that a too large band size is one of the most common errors women make in bra fitting so we need to make sure it is correct else you will find your bra riding up your back!

Firstly you need to measure around your body just under your bust. Then basically if the measurement is an even number, then add 4 inches (or 10cm), or in the case of an odd number, then add 5 inches (12.5cm).

An example is: If you measure and find that you are 30inches (75cm) then you add 4 inches (10cm), so your correct bust size is 34inches (85cm). If you measure and find that you are 31inches (77.5cm) then you add 5 inches so this means you are 36 inches (90cm).

Now finding the cup size:
This time, just measure around the fullest part of your bust. You simply subtract the measurement that you just took from your bra size worked out above. Now the last bit is to check out the chart below to see the size you are in cup.

Difference between bra size and cup size	BRA SIZE CHART
Inches	-1	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
Cup Size	AA	A	B	C	D	DD	E	F	G	H

While this chart is useful for determining the cup size, bear in mind that 34A cup does NOT have the same exact volume as 36A or 38A. Similarly, 30D does not have the same volume as 36D (30D is a much smaller cup than 36D). So, if you try on a 36B bra and the cup size fits but the band is too loose so that you decide to go to down in band size to 34, you may actually need 34C cup size so as to have about the same volume in the bra cup.

But the main thing is even if you are a 36DD in La Senza does not mean your that size in Marks and Spencer, so although this article is just a starting point the best way to get fabulous fitting lingerie is to get trying on thesexy underwear thats out there!
