How to Properly Size a Bra

Doesn’t it bug you when you see women with a great rack and she’s got it all squooshed in the wrong places — especially if she’s well endowed?

If you have been blessed with abundance in the bosom department, you don’t have to hoist them up in a plain boring bra any more. If you’ve got it, flaunt it, but make sure the new bra fits your shape! Your breasts deserve to be sexy, sassy and well.. hot! Treat them to fine lace, leopard print or satin and get out of white — put some color up there! Even if you don’t have more than a mouthful, it’s always nice to know how to know for sure that you’ve got the right size for your shape.

It’s true that the larger your breasts are, the more difficult it is to find a bra that fits well. Sometimes the underwire pinches or doesn’t feel right or there’s more of you than the bra can hold and you have spillout at the top. So for you, make sure you get the right size to begin with.

Get a soft tape measure and stand in front of a mirror and starting at the center, pass the tape measure around your body to be even just underneath your breasts. This is your band size.

Next, move the tape up to your armpits and measure above your breasts. Write that number down on a piece of paper. Now, measure your breast at nipple level, where you stick out most. Subtract the number you wrote down from the nipple-around-and-back measurement, and voila! Now you can figure your cup size!

Look below for the difference between the two numbers and that’s your cup size and remember, it’s not about numbers, it’s about looking good and feeling comfortable while you’re incredibly sexy!
