Bras that are too tight may squeeze the breasts together, and cause difficulty in breathing. Bras that are too loose may not hold the breasts in place thus resulting in sagging and bouncing. Ill-fitted bras can also cause other health problems like back, neck, and shoulder pain, breast skin damage, bad posture, deep grooves on shoulders, nerve damage, and more. That's why we need to know our perfect bra size so that we can stay comfortable.

How to Measure Bra Size

We can follow these steps to measure our cup size and bust size:

How to measure band size:

When it comes to finding our perfect bra size, the first step is to measure our band size or underbust size. This is the measurement around the ribcage, just below the bust. To measure this, we'll need a soft measuring tape and a mirror. Few things to keep in mind,

Wear a non-padded bra or no bra at all.
Stand up straight and wrap the measuring tape around your ribcage, just below the bust.
A snug fit is ideal, but not too tight — we should be able to breathe comfortably.
Make a note of the length in inches or centimetres.

The bra size calculator cm measurement will help us when using a the Zivame Fitcode to find our size. Our underbust measurement determines our band size. Keep in mind that bra sizes can vary between brands and styles, so it's always a good idea to try on a few different sizes to see what feels most comfortable. Knowing our correct bra size is essential to ensure comfort, support, and the right fit.

How to measure bust size:

We need to wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of our bust, making sure that the tape is level with our nipples. Record this measurement in inches.

How to measure cup size:

Once we have our band size, and our bust size we’ll need to measure our cup size to find our complete bra size. This involves subtracting our bust size from our band size. For example, if our bust measurement is 36 inches and our band size is 34 inches, the difference between the two is 2 inches. The difference in inches corresponds to our cup size, using the following chart:

0-1 inch: AA cup
1-2 inches: A cup
2-3 inches: B cup
3-4 inches: C cup
4-5 inches: D cup
5-6 inches: DD or E cup
6-7 inches: DDD or F cup
7-8 inches: G cup
8-9 inches: H cup

According to the bra size chart, a difference of 2 inches corresponds to a B cup size. So, our complete bra size would be 34B.

Measuring our bra size can seem daunting at first, but with Zivame we can find our perfect fit in no time. So, let's go ahead and give it a try to find our perfect bra size.We can use their chart to determine our size based on our band and cup size.

How to know if a bra fits perfectly?

What the right cup fit looks like:

The cups should sit snug on the breasts.
If your breasts are spilling out of the cup from the side or from the top, your bra cups are probably too small for your breasts. Consider increasing your bra cup size.
If there is a gap between the cup and your breasts or if the fabric of the bra is wrinkling in places, it means that the cup is too loose. In this case, you can consider reducing your cup size.

What the right band fit looks like:

The bra band should form a straight line around the body.
If the band is arching at the back, the band of your bra is probably too loose. Try wearing the bra on a tighter hook. If that doesn’t work, you have to decrease your band size and increase your cup size letter. For example, if you are currently using 34B, you can try 32C.
If your band is digging into your skin and causing redness or marks, then your band is probably too tight. Try wearing the bra on a looser hook. If that doesn’t work, you have to increase your band size and decrease your cup size letter. For example, if you are currently using 34B, you can try 36A.

What the right straps fit looks like:

The straps should sit comfortably on the shoulder, it shouldn't be too tight or slip off the shoulder.
If the bra strap is falling off, tighten the straps. If that doesn’t work, try using a bra style where the bra straps are narrow such as multiway bras or full coverage bras.
If the bra strap is too tight, loosen the straps. If that doesn't work, chances are that the bra band is too loose and it is not giving your breasts the support it needs. Try using a smaller band size.

Here are some FAQs about bras

Is 34 or 36 a bigger bra size?

First things first, let's establish that bra sizes are made up of two parts: the band size (measured in inches) and the bra cup size (designated by letters). Now, when it comes to comparing a 34 and a 36 bra size, we're talking about the band size, which is part of the bra that wraps around our rib cage. If we're talking about the band size alone, then a 36 is technically bigger than a 34. However, cup size also comes into play here. If we're comparing a 34B to a 36A, then the 34B has a larger cup size. But if we're comparing a 34B to a 36C, then the 36C has a larger cup size and a larger band size. The best way to figure out our correct size is to check a bra size calculator in India, available online. Most lingerie brands have an online bra calculator that we can check to find our correct bra size. We must use the calculators online before we pick our bra.

Is bra size B or C bigger?

When comparing bra cup sizes, a C cup is typically larger than a B cup. But we must not worry or get confused because the Fitcode by Zivame can help us find our perfect fit! There are numerous online options available, but Zivame's bra size calculator for Indian bodies is the best when it comes to precision and accuracy. We must keep in mind that a well-fitting bra not only looks good but also feels good! Hence, it’s important to always choose a bra that fits us perfectly.

What is the smallest bra size?

What is the most common bra size in India?
