How to Calculate Your Bra Cup Size: Tips from Clara Intimo

There is always a wonderful moment in every woman's life : when our mothers bought us our first bras, because our bodies were taking shape and it was important to share those changes with the women in our lives, who carefully and attentively chose the perfect underwear for us.

Their foresight was fundamental, because they knew exactly how to measure our bra cup , what the best size was, but after all, we know that mothers and grandmothers have always had their "aces up their sleeves".

Now that we know how important it is to pay attention to certain details and how fundamental it is to have the perfect bra that can accompany our curves, it is right to learn how to calculate the correct sizes .

Furthermore, wearing an ill-fitting bra could also cause back problems , especially for those with large breasts that are not very easy to support.

We've carefully researched the right advice for our clients so they can feel beautiful and strong in their perfect measurements!

a formula to calculate bra size

Over the course of life, breasts change significantly , so you need to know the perfect formula for calculating your bra size , so you can proceed with your purchase with confidence.

Let's start with the small tools you'll need for this mission : a tape measure, paper, and a pen. Once you have them handy, let's start taking measurements! But first, remember to wear the best bra you have, one that perfectly supports and holds your décolleté.

The first measurement we'll take is the underbust measurement . Take a deep breath and make sure the tape measure fits snugly against your chest.

This way we will get the exact size of our bra in cm . Remember that in Italy it is expressed in numbers, from first to twelfth.

Once we have taken this measurement, let's mark it on our sheet.

The second measurement we will take is that of the breast : always in a straight and erect position, we place the tape measure at the height of the nipples (on the most protruding part of our breasts) to obtain the measurement relating to the capacity of the cups, the so-called volume.

At this stage, it's important to consider the shape of your breasts, their width, and their attachment . If you have very large breasts, try bending forward to get the correct measurement.

Let's give some practical examples so that everything is clearer:

1. If our underbust measurement is 96 cm , looking at the table we created, we are in the presence of a seventh size . At the same time, if the bust measurement is 116 cm, we have an E cup corresponding to the size. Therefore, the final result will be a size 7 with an E cup.
2. If our underbust measurement is 70 cm , we are in the presence of a second size .
3. If your breast measurement is 85 cm , the cup size will be B.

In any case, if you need advice on how to choose the perfect bra for your needs , then contact our customer service , who will be ready to give you the most appropriate tips.

How to Calculate Your Bra Cup Size: Differences Between A, B, C, and D

Probably, when you enter a lingerie shop and the sales assistant asks what the customer's size is, you tend to say: "the first, the second, the third..." , but the truth is that (as you may have noticed in the previous paragraph) there are also letters, which correspond to the cups .

So, it's not just the size that's important, but also the depth of the cup.

The first feature to take into consideration is clearly comfort , so that you feel protected and calm, and to make sure that your skin can “breathe” , just slip a couple of fingers under the fabric of the bra behind your back and a finger at the front: a little trick that can be useful to make sure there is space.

Cup sizes are mainly classified as A, B, C, D, and E, and represent the projection of our breasts from the torso outward. The cup size represents not only the volume but also the proportion of the breasts to the torso. The difference between one cup and another, for example, between A, B, C, and D cups is about 2-3 cm . As you increase in size, the breast line widens, resulting in an increase in cup size.
