I have often heard that women don't know their real bra size, but thought I knew mine.I knew I had out grown my B cup, & decided to measure myself to figure out what size bra I need. I was rather suprised to find that I am a D cup.
I think some women underestimate their cup size, due to confusion or in some cases, poor self esteem.
So...heres the favour. Measure yourself & let me know what cup size you THINK you are, then what size you really are.
Its a bit hard to do on your own, so if you have a partner get them to help.
Measure (in inches) the size of your chest immediately below your breast. Then measure around the largest part of your chest.
Subtract the 1st measurement from the 2nd. ie 1st measurement 30inches, 2nd measurement 34inches
34-30=4
Each inches(of difference)is a cup size
1=A 2=B 3=C 4=D 5=DD 6=DDD
Why ask this? Because I want to know how many of us are getting it wrong&raise awareness, as poor fitting bras result in pain & other problems
Thanks!
