How to measure bra size
The first thing is to accept that bodies literally change on a daily basis. Minor fluctuations will create slight changes when it comes to finding the right bra size. During your cycle, some women experience more fluctuation in sizes. So it helps to track the changes, if possible.
Although a professional fitter is an ideal way to find your bra size, here’s a bra size guide from Kaylin on how to find your perfect fit.
You’ll need to know two measurements: band and cup size. “If you have a measuring tape and a friend or partner, have them help you out,” she says. “It is important to make sure the measuring tape is straight. It is sometimes harder to do on your own.”
Measure under and over
Measure directly under your breasts. Breathe in and out. Make sure the tape is snug, but not tight. Write down that number.
Take the measuring tape and measure across the fullest point of your breasts, typically across the apex. Write down that number.
Now, head to an online bra size calculator, and enter in your details to determine your perfect size. Time to go bra shopping!
