How to Find Your Correct Bra Cup Size: Simple Home Measurement Guide

Women's breast sizes change on average six times over a lifetime, yet many continue buying the same bra size. Choosing the right fit keeps your breasts lifted and supported longer, ensures clothes hang perfectly, and helps prevent back pain.

As lingerie experts with years of fitting experience, we recommend this proven method: Use a soft tape measure. First, measure around your ribcage just below your bust—this is your band size (the number before the cup letter). Next, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the underbust measurement from the bust measurement. Match the difference to our reliable cup size chart below. Then, consult a professional at a lingerie store to select the ideal bra style for your body shape.
