How to Know Your Bra Size at Home

You just need a measuring tape and five minutes, and without needing anyone’s help, you can find your correct bra size and then confidently buy the perfect bra from Omi Beauty. One of the most important pieces of undergarments for girls is a bra, and it will not be wrong to say that most women in Pakistan do not know their right bra size. If you were asked right now what your bra size is, chances are you would say you don't know.

If you do not take it seriously to wear a bra in your correct size, then you will face discomfort because of cups that are too small, a band that is too loose, straps that dig into your shoulders all day, visible lines, side bulging, etc. The reason the majority of Pakistani women end up buying and wearing bras in the wrong size is that they feel awkward asking for help from a salesperson when they go to stores to buy bras.

But the even bigger issue is that women have not been taught how they can properly measure their own bra size. And this is how most women in Pakistan end up wearing the wrong size bra, which not only affects their comfort level but also how clothes fit on their bodies, how they feel, and even their posture. But if you have been doing this wrong for a long time does not mean you have to wear the wrong size bra forever.

What Do You Need To Take Measurements?

Only two things are required: a mirror and a soft measuring tape. If you do not have a soft measuring tape at hand, you can use a string instead. Later on, you can put the string against any ruler that you have and simply take measurements. It is crucial to understand that if you are going to use a string or tape, it must not be twisted at all when you measure.

Should You Wear A Bra When Taking Measurements?

You can wear a simple non-padded bra when taking your measurements, but never wear a padded bra in this scenario. Padded bras are meant to add extra bulk and shape to your bust. So when you wear a padded bra and take measurements, of course, you will get misguided by wrong numbers. Stand up straight and keep your arms relaxed at your sides.

Also, when you are measuring your bra size, keep breathing normally. You do not have to hold your breath or suck your stomach in. Just be relaxed. If you can find someone to help you measure, then that is even better because we need to make sure that the measuring tape or string is sitting at a level. But this is not a necessity. If there is no one around to help, the mirror will be your best friend, and you can see in the mirror if the tape across your back is sitting straight or not.

Step-By-Step Details To Take Your Own Measurements:

Measure Your Band Size:

The part of your bra size that has a number like 32, 34, 36, etc., is called the band size. Since this number is your band size, it basically tells you how snug the band of the bra should be around your body. Directly under your bust, where the band of the bra normally sits, gently wrap the measuring tape.

Two things to consider here are that the tape must be snug, not tight. And that it must sit at a level, at the way around, it should not be riding up on your back or dipping down in the front. After the tape is in place, note your measurement in inches and write down the number. Then add 4 to that number. So if you wrote down 32 inches, add 4 to it, and you will get 36, which is your correct band size. If you end up with an odd number like 33, 35, etc., round it up to the next even number because bra sizes come in even numbers only.

Measure Your Bust Size:

The measurement of the fullest part of your bust tells you the bust size. Every woman’s body is different, so there is no single fullest point for everyone; you just have to find the widest point of your bust. Wrap the measuring tape loosely around the fullest part of your bust; do not pull the tape tightly. Make sure it is sitting comfortably against your body without squeezing your skin. Once again, make sure that the tape is leveled all the way around. Then note down the number in inches.

Calculate Your Cup Size:

With the above two measurements you git, you can successfully find out your cup size. The letter part of the bra size, like A, B, C, and so on, basically tells the cup size. Subtract your band size from your bust size; the difference between these numbers that you get as a result is your cup size. For example, if your band size is 32 and your bust measurement is 35 inches, then the difference is 3 inches, and your cup size is C. When you know your right cup size, you can easily find which bra will be best for you according to your breast size. Here’s the guide to see which cup size is yours based on the difference you get from the calculation:

FAQs:

Do I need to measure my bra size only once?

Your body goes through a lot of changes, and weight gain and weight loss are a natural part of life, so it is suggested not to stick to one measurement you took years ago. Measure your bra size once every year or when you go through a major body change, like pregnancy

What if the cups of a bra don't fit, but the band does?

Keep the same band size and just move up or down with the cup size. Do not change both measurements in such a scenario, because if you go for a loose or tight band, then it is not going to work either

 How do I know if the bra size I measured is correct?

It is the right one if when you wear it, the straps don't dig into your  shoulders, the band is sitting evenly, and the cups are covering your entire breast
