When a girl hits puberty, her body starts changing the shape and size. The young girl starts developing feminine assets like breasts and a curvaceous figure. However, a majority of women are not aware of their breasts size. They all pick up lingerie that fits them well. To enhance the shape of your breasts, you need to wear the right bra size.

If you wear the wrong size, your breasts will become saggy and loose its shape. Even your outfits will not flaunt your curvaceous figure well. So, you should know your bra size. Spend some minutes with your measuring tape and you will be clear with the size. Here are few steps to measure your bra size at home.

Steps to measure your bra size:

The upper band size: Firstly, you have to measure above the breasts and high on your back (under the armpits). Measure in inches. If you get an even number, note down the number. If you get an odd number, add 1 inch more to get the even number. For instance, if the number you are getting is 35, then pick a bra with 36 size.

The cup size: Shape and size of breast for every woman is different. So, the accurate way to measure the breast size is by measuring on the biggest part of the breast (highest peak/touching nipples). Increase the size of the cups by one after getting the measurement. Most of the popular lingerie brands use UK cup sizing: AA, A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, H, HH, J, JJ, K, KK, L, LL. So, once you get band and cup size, subtract 1 inch from band size. For example, if you got 35 band size and 36 breasts size, just subtract band size 35 to 34. Your cup size is best defined with this calculation.

The lower band size: This band size is measured underneath the breasts. Do not lift your hands up. Try to keep them down while measuring the lower band size. Use a measuring tape in the horizontal position. If you get an odd number, try both the numbers ascending and descending. For instance, if you get 37 inches, try 36 and 38 bra size.

These are few steps to measure your bra size at home. This will help you pick up the right size of bra from the market. However, try once before purchasing as different brands use various sizes. Do not repeat the same bra after 2 days. This helps maintain the stretchability and quality of the bra cups. Keep using different bras regularly.
