How to check breast cup size

Women should be familiar with the term cup size, because every woman's breast size is different, so the cup number is also different. Women know their breast cup size mainly so that they can buy bras better. Bras are small pieces of clothing that are mainly used to prevent exposure and sagging breasts. However, many women have a misunderstanding about looking at the breast cup size, and even don’t know how to look at the breast cup size. Here are some tips for women to look at the breast cup size.

How to tell the cup size of a girl? Here are three tips to easily calculate your cup size

1. First, know your underbust circumference

The vast majority of women have not undergone scientific and personal measurements and have no idea about the size of their breasts. In fact, there are international standards for the classification of breast sizes and cup sizes. From an Oriental perspective, Chinese women's breasts can be divided into two types: "real cup size" and "false cup size". When a naked woman is measured upright, the data obtained, the calculated difference and the cup size are called the false cup size; when a naked woman is slightly leaning forward 45 degrees to measure the upper chest circumference, and then standing upright to measure the lower chest circumference, the data obtained, the calculated difference and the cup size are called the true cup size.

The proportion of false cup sizes of Chinese women's breasts is approximately A20%, B30%, C30%, D10%, E5%, and F5%.

The proportion of true cup sizes of Chinese women's breasts is approximately A5%, B20%, C30%, D30%, E10%, and F5%.

In other words, most Chinese women actually have good breasts, but they just don’t know it. What does it mean to know? Of course, you need to measure yourself. The available numbers are: 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105. If you are careful, you will find that they are all multiples of 5. The allowable error is plus or minus 2.5cm. For example, if you measure 77cm, then of course you should wear a size 75 bra. If the measurement is 77.5, you can only choose the more suitable size between 75 and 80.

2. Determine the cup size of your bra

Cup size is described by A, B, C, or D. The chest circumference difference refers to the result obtained by subtracting your underbust circumference from your measured chest circumference, with an allowable error of plus or minus 1.25cm. If your bust difference is 13cm, then it is of course a B cup.

3. Under bust plus cup size = OK

For example: your lower bust is 79, which is size 80, and your upper bust is 92. The difference between the two is 13cm, which is a B cup. Put the two together, and congratulations, the bra you should wear is size 80B.

If you want to buy a bra that suits you, you need to choose a bra cup that matches your breast shape.

How do girls choose bras correctly?

1. Petite breasts: the angle formed by the lower edge of the breast and the chest wall is less than 90 degrees. The breasts form a distinct downward arc, and are tall and slightly drooping when standing.

Suitable bras: bras with a thick bottom and thin top, and a 3/4 cup size. Why: Women with petite breasts can use bras to create the illusion of fullness, with bras that have a focussing effect or are padded being the most effective.

2. The breast shape is drooping, the length of the breast protrusion is too large, the breast droops and becomes a bag shape when standing, and the breast is protected to the sides when lying on the back.

Suitable bras: 3/4 cups with front clasps are more appropriate, and you should choose bras that are one size larger than what you usually wear. Try to use bras with underwires and reinforced sides, and wide shoulder straps to effectively lift and raise the position of the breasts. Pay attention to filling the breasts fully and perfectly into the cup.

3. The biggest feature of hemispherical breasts is that the boundaries of the breasts are clearly round and spherical, and the obvious breast curve can be seen when lying on your back.

Suitable bras: Full-cup bras without underwires and with a larger bottom area are best. Reason: Hemispherical breasts have softer flesh, and choosing a full-cup bra can completely cover the breasts and prevent sagging.

4. Flat chest, with slightly raised breasts shaped like a disk. The bulge of the chest wall is mostly gradual, with unclear boundaries, and no obvious changes in the shape of the breasts.

Suitable bras: 3/4 cup front-clasp style is more appropriate, because the underwire can concentrate the binding force and improve the condition of flat chest expansion, so it is recommended to choose a 3/4 cup bra with an underwire. If you don't like wearing bras with underwires, you can choose a bra with soft underwires, which can increase your cleavage and make your breasts look bigger. For girls with flat breasts, please choose a small and deeper cup with a thicker cotton pad at the bottom to shape the breast peaks. You can also choose a full-cup bra, which can bring out your sagging breasts. Bras that are too concentrated are not suitable.
