Figuring Out Band and Cup Size

Your perfect bra fit comes down to two essentials: band size and cup volume. Together, they work to give you the support and comfort you deserve, minus any awkward spillage or gaps.

Finding your ideal size is all about three key measurements—bust, under-bust, and cup. All you need? A soft measuring tape and a lightly lined bra to keep everything in its natural shape. Ready to measure? Let’s get started!

How Do You Measure Band Size?

To find your band size, grab a soft measuring tape and wrap it snugly around your chest, just under your arms and above the top of your bust. Round the measurement to the nearest even number, and voilà—that’s your band size! Keep in mind that sizing methods can vary by brand, so always double-check their specific guidelines for the best fit.

What Does Cup Size Mean?

Your cup size is the letter that follows your band size. To measure it, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band measurement from this number, and the difference gives you your cup size. For example, if your bra size is 40DD, the "DD" represents your cup size.

In the U.S., cup sizes typically range from A to N, increasing in volume as the letters go up. Here’s how it works: AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, DD, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N. The chart below shows how to measure and understand the progression of cup sizes.

Bra Size FAQs

1. Why do my straps keep falling off?

If your straps are slipping, your cup size might be too big. Try going down a cup size and adjusting your band for a better fit.

2. Why does my band ride up in the back?

If your band keeps creeping up, it’s likely too big. The band should stay level across your back. Consider going down a band size for a more secure fit.

3. Why do my straps dig into my shoulders?

If your straps dig in, it could be a sign your band is too loose. A loose band isn’t supporting you properly, leaving the straps to take on too much of the weight.

Finding the perfect bra isn’t rocket science, but it does take a little know-how. Once you’ve got your size down, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Still feeling unsure? No problem!
