1. What is Bra Size Calculation?

Bra size is determined by two measurements: the band size (underbust measurement) and the cup size (difference between bust and underbust measurements). Proper bra sizing is essential for comfort and support.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard bra sizing formulas:

Where:

• Band size is the underbust measurement rounded to the nearest even number
• Cup size is determined by the difference between bust and band measurements
• Each inch of difference corresponds to a cup size (1" = A, 2" = B, etc.)

3. Importance of Proper Bra Sizing

Details: Wearing the correct bra size improves comfort, posture, and breast support. An estimated 80% of women wear the wrong bra size, which can lead to back pain and other issues.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure underbust snugly but not tight, and bust at the fullest part while wearing a non-padded bra. Enter measurements in inches for accurate results.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why round to even numbers for band size?
A: Bra bands typically come in even-numbered sizes for standardization in manufacturing.

Q2: What if my measurement falls between cup sizes?
A: Try both sizes - different brands may fit differently. The calculator provides a starting point.

Q3: How often should I measure my bra size?
A: Every 6-12 months or after significant weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Q4: Why do different brands fit differently?
A: There's no universal standard - brands have different sizing methods and stretch in materials.

Q5: What if my cup size is larger than K?
A: Some specialty brands offer larger cup sizes beyond standard sizing.
