What to keep in mind when measuring bra size
SO MANY women end up wearing the wrong size bra, whether it’s too tight, a size too big or ones that simply have ill-fitting straps and bands.
This not only makes you uncomfortable, but can also have side-effects such as shoulder and backaches.
Did you know that you could measure your bra size from the comfort of your home?
Here are five things you should keep in mind when measuring your breasts to find the right bra for you:
Step 1: Wear a comfy nonpadded bra that fits
This ensures that your breast tissue is lifted and not sagging.
Step 2: Get yourself a good measuring tape
Start by measuring the area right under your bust and rounding it up to the nearest whole number because this composes your band size.
Step 3: Measuring the band size
Be careful not to hold the tape too tight or too loose. You will want to pick the most comfortable bra size that will allow you to breathe easily and move around more comfortably.
Step 4: Picking the optimum fit and bust size
While trying to measure your cup size, you should measure the fullest part of your bust. You will want to be certain that the measuring tape is level and snug. This way you will not have to deal with pesky gaps or bulges between your chest and your new bra.
Step 5: Choosing the right styles
Whether that’s a push-up bra, a balconette bra, a minimiser bra, or a sports bra, remember to choose the right style. Also, be sure to look out for slight changes in sizes when you choose different styles. If you’re a size C generally, then you may want to try out a size B if you’re opting for a padded style.
