Perfect Bra Fit

 

In order to find your perfect bra fit, you will need: a soft measuring tape, a mirror and, optionally, a soft bra to wear while measuring. Then follow these two simple steps;

 

  1. Stand in front of your mirror and run your measuring tape around your back right under your bust - where the wire usually sits, making sure it is firm around the circumference of your back but not too tight. It is important that you ensure that the measuring tape lies flat on your back in parallel to the ground. Take your measurements in inches. If your number happens to be an odd number or not a round number, round it up to the next even number (eg: if your reading is 31 or 31.5, then round up to 32) and add the even number by 2. This is your band size measurement (1). As per example your back band is in this case 34.

  2. Next, raise your measuring tape up to the fullest part of your bust - right on your nipples. Have the tape fit closely to your body but not too tight that it digs into your skin. Again, make sure that the measuring tape is flat around your back in parallel to the ground for a more accurate reading.
    This is the measurement (2) that you will use to find out your cup size. 

Now that all measurements have been taken, you are to subtract the band size from the over bust size, ie; measurement (2) minus measurement (1). 

Depending on the difference between these two measurements, you will be able to determine your cup size. Example:  

 

  • Less than 1 inch = AA  
  • 1 inch difference = A  
  • 2 inch difference = B  
  • 3 inch difference = C  
  • 4 inch difference = D  
  • 5 inch difference = DD
  • 6 inch difference = E
  • 7 inch difference = F
  • 8 inch difference = FF
  • 9 inch difference = G
  • 10 inch difference = GG
  • 11 inch difference = H
  • 12 inch difference = HH
  • 13 inch difference = J

Yes, sure. If your breasts have settled in size, then flexi-wired bras should be fine for you. It is important that you wear this with a well-fitting bra so as not to cause damage. We do not recommend that this is used during the first few weeks after having your baby.
