1. What is Bra Size Calculation?

Bra size calculation determines the proper fit for bras based on underbust and bust measurements. A well-fitting bra provides better support and comfort.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard bra size formula:

Where:

• \( Underbust \) — Measurement under the bust in inches
• \( Bust \) — Measurement around the fullest part of the bust in inches
• \( Bust - Underbust \) — Determines cup size (each inch represents a cup size)

Explanation: The band size is typically the rounded underbust measurement, while the cup size is determined by the difference between bust and underbust measurements.

3. Importance of Proper Bra Sizing

Details: Wearing the correct bra size prevents discomfort, back pain, and poor posture. Studies show most women wear the wrong bra size.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Measure underbust snugly and bust loosely at the fullest part. Wear a non-padded bra when measuring. Measurements should be in inches.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: Why does my bra size vary between brands?
A: Different brands use slightly different sizing systems. Always check each brand's size chart.

Q3: What if my measurement falls between band sizes?
A: If between sizes, try both or size up if measurements are closer to the larger size.

Q4: How tight should the underbust measurement be?
