Proper Bra Sizing: What Every Woman Should Know
January 5th, 2010 |

Most women do not wear the correct bra size. Even a change of 5 pounds can change your bra size.
The bra cups should be entirely filled, or you may need a smaller cup.
If the underwire digs in, you may need a larger cup size.
Proper Measurements
First, you will need three measurements: under bust, upper bust, and full bust.
Your cup size is determined by your full bust measurement – your upper bust measurement.
Bra Styles
Full Cup / Full Coverage – Designed for support, these bras cover the entire breast.
Half Cup / Demi Cup – These bras cover 75 percent of the breast.
Underwire Bras – These bras give the most support.
Racerback Bras – These bras have a crossover pattern in the back.
Strapless Bras – These bras have no straps at all, only the band.
Padded Bras / Push-Up Bras – These bras have extra padding in the cups in order to give the illusion of a larger breast and/or to increase the cleavage. In some bras, the padding is removable.
Décolleté – These bras are lower cut than a demi bra, allowing you to wear something even lower cut without revealing your bra.
Light-Support Bras – These bras have no underwire.
Sports Bra – These bras are designed to minimize bouncing during athletic activity.
