The band size is measured numerically e. The cup size is measured alphabetically e. The grey cells in the table below demonstrate how the sizes diagonally adjacent from the top right to the bottom left are the same in breast volume i.
For example, if someone usually wears a 26H bra and gains weight around just their middle and not their breasts they may need a 28GG instead; the same volume as a 26H but on a larger rib cage. See where the end of the tape meets at the front of your torso. This is your literal torso measurement. Write this number down. Sometimes, your band size is equivalent to your literal torso measurement. But if your torso measures, for example, 31 inches, you will probably need to round up to a 32 for your band size.
Compared to measuring bust size, band size is a relative walk in the park. We already have this email on file. When it comes to bra cup sizes, many think the further into the alphabet, and or more letters, the larger. Cup size is based on a simple measurement, that of the difference between ones band measurement and ones chest measurement. By subtracting the former from the latter, you get a number of inches that corresponds to a letter cup size, for example, an A cup means your breasts are lifted an inch of your chest, a B cup means they are lifted 2 inches off your chest, and so on and so forth, per the below chart:.
Therefore, one woman can be the same cup size as another, but due to their band size have a very different appearance.
Starting with the primary measurement band size is ultimately most important as the band, not the straps, should be responsible for most of the support needed by the wearer , the numerical representation of the circumference around ones ribcage, just underneath the breasts, gives a band size, typically in the range of Taking a 34B for example and going down a band size to a 32, would require going up to a C cup, conversely, going up a band size to a 36 would require going down to an A cup.
Subtract the band size from this measurement. Use this number to determine your cup size according to the table below. Fitting hints:. Compression Compression uses elastic support fabrics to hold breasts closer to the body. Encapsulation Encapsulation is another method of reducing bounce, encapsulation typically uses molded, often semi-rigid cups to contain the breasts. The shape of the cup, and the way it's built into the bra, limits movement of the breasts.
Many bras use a combination of compression and encapsulation to support breasts. May also contribute to the overall support of the bra. Straps Straps support the weight of the breasts by cantilevering it off the shoulders, much like a suspension bridge. Larger breasts require broader, non-stretchy straps. To prevent chafing, the closure should be covered so that it's invisible to the skin. Asa Salas is an expert-ranked cross country and DH mountain bike racer.
