How to Measure Your Bra Size at Home

Finding the right bra size is essential for comfort, support, and confidence. Surprisingly, many women wear the wrong bra size without realizing it.

Step 1: Measure Your Band Size

Using a measuring tape, measure snugly around your ribcage directly under your bust. Ensure the tape is level all the way around.

Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size

Measure around the fullest part of your bust while keeping the tape comfortably loose and parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. The difference helps determine your cup size.

Signs Your Bra Doesn't Fit Properly

  • Straps constantly slip off
  • Band rides up your back
  • Cups gape or overflow
  • Underwire digs into your skin
  • You feel discomfort throughout the day

A well-fitted bra should feel supportive without pinching, digging, or restricting movement.
