Let your breasts have free time from bras daily - preferably more than 12 hours of your day should be bra-free. This will help the lymph flow within your breasts. And, when choosing a bra, try have yourself fitted by a professional. Part of these bra fitting tips have been submitted to us by a professional bra fitter. If you have more tips how to find the right bra size, please submit them in the comment field below - especially so if you're a professional bra fitter yourself.
Have someone measure around your chest with a tape measure, just
under your breasts, and around the back. Make sure the tape measure
rests flat on the skin and goes straight across your back. Add
5 inches to this measurement - that's your band size (also called
chest size). If you end up with an odd number, go up to the next
even number, since bras usually only come in even-numbered band
sizes.
If you're "plus-size", you don't need to add those 5
inches.
Measuring the cup size is trickier; even with a measurement it is better to try on different bras and find out experimentally which one fits.
Have someone measure you again, this time the measuring tape goes
on top of the fullest part of your breasts. If you already own
a well-fitting non-padded bra, you can wear it while taking this
measurement as long as it doesn't 'flatten' your breasts (which
would make an illusion of a smaller cup size). Record this number,
and find the difference between that, and the band-size number.
Remember again, bra measuring is not exact science. And how could
it be when women's breasts come in so many different shapes and
sizes? Usually one breast is bigger than the other, they might
sag, etc. So the fitting room tells you the truth; not the tape
measure. You have to try the bra on. If it first right, that's
your bra size even if the tape measure told you different.
1. Just like boxers and briefs and jockstraps
are all very different in fit and comfort for you. For her every
bra is different and we have hundreds of bra styles to choose
from.
2. Don't rush her. Let her try on as many bras
as she needs too to find what is right for her.
