How are breasts measured?

Cup size and circumference of the chest. For example: 34C. 34 is how many inches measured around the chest under the breasts. C is the cup size of the breasts, meaning how large the "cups" need to be in order to hold the breasts.


Is the bra size 39a or 36aa big or small?

The 39 in the bra size denotes the woman is 39 inches around her chest. The cup size refers to the size of the woman's breasts...the higher the letter, the larger. 39A would be considered small.


How do you determine bra size?

Bra size is composed of two parts, band size and cup size. Band size is a number, like 36. Cup size is a letter, like 'C'. To determine band size, measure with a tape around the chest under the breasts. If you get an even number, add '4' and if you get an odd number, add '5'. Example: 31 inches + 5 = size 36. (Sometimes the circumference of the chest over the breasts is measured instead. In this case '5' is not added to the result because for most women 'underbust + 5' approximately equals overbust.) To determine cup size, measure around the chest at the fullest part of the breasts while wearing a bra. From this number subtract your band size. A one inch difference = A cup, two inches = B cup, three inches = C cup, etc. Example: 39 inches - 36 band size = 3 = C cup. Bra size is 36C. The problem is that this traditional method of bra sizing usually gives a size that doesn't fit well and contributes to the belief that "80% of women wear the wrong size bra." An alternative method of bra measuring has been developed by a plastic surgeon. Band size is determined by the traditional formula but cup size is determined by direct measurement of the breast.

How is the cup size measured in a bra?

The cup size of a bra is measured by how much bigger the measurement around your breasts is than the measurement around your rib cage. This means that smaller cup sizes are when the breasts are only a little bit larger than the rib cage, and larger cup sizes are when the breasts are much larger than the rib cage.

Plus Size Bras Should Support From The Cup Not The Straps?

Find yourself adjusting your plus size bra's straps in a futile attempt to keep your breasts from sagging in your new bra? If so, then like most women, you are wearing the wrong size bra. Your plus size bra should support your breasts with the band and cups, not with the shoulder straps. The next time that you are shopping for plus size bras, you should rethink your bra size. Try on a larger cup size and a smaller band size than what your current bra is sized. Latch your plus size bra on the middle hook and see if it is supporting your breasts.
