Sizing Guide for Bras and Panties

Bras:

Here is a useful set of guidelines to follow when it comes to making sure that you are wearing the right size bra. Statistics show that the majority of women are known to be wearing the wrong bra size. The way a bra fits is the key to wearing the correct bra size. Certain factors in a woman's life will cause for her bra size to fluctuate. A woman's bust measurement will change when she is pregnant or her weight fluctuates. There are two easy steps to follow when it comes to purchasing the correct bra size. First you will need to determine your "Band Size" (example: 32, 34, 36, etc.) and second you will need to determine your "Cup Size" (example: A, B, C, D, DD, etc.).

Step 1:  Let us start with the band size measurement. Begin by wearing your best fitting bra that is unpadded. First you will need to determine the measurement under your bust line. Take a measuring tape and firmly measure around your body just under the bust line. Make sure that the tape measure is straight across your back and chest so that it is parallel to the floor. This works best while facing a mirror. The measurement needs to be rounded up or down to a whole number. As a general rule, if the measurement is less than a half inch, round down. If the measurement is more than a half inch round up. (For example: if your measurement is 37 1/4 round down to 37 inches. If your measurement is 37 1/2 round up to 38 inches). If the rounded measurement you come up with is an odd number then add 5 inches to it. If the rounded measurement is an even number then add 4 inches to it. (Example: rounded measurement of 38 inches + 4 inches = 42 inches). This is your "Band Size."

Step 2: Next you will need to determine your  "Cup Size.". Standing in front of a mirror, measure from around your back to the largest part of your bust, keeping the  measuring tape somewhat looser than the band size measurement. Make sure that the measuring tape is straight and parallel to the floor. Round up or down to a whole number as you did with your band size measurement. Now, subtract the "Band Size" measurement from the measurement you just measured and this difference will determine your "Cup Size." (Example: "Band Size" of 42 inches - 39 inches = 3 inches = C  "Cup Size" ). For Standard cup size measurements, please refer to the chart below.

Please keep in mind that calculating your bra size is not an exact science. We feel that the sizing guide above is the most accurate way to measure for a bra. We feel that our sizing guide is a great way to determining band size. However, cup size is always a little more difficult. Generally you would know your cup size better than any measuring system out there. So do not be surprised if your cup size ends up being different to what you feel it should be.

It is important to note that cup sizes in the D and higher range tend to vary between different manufacturers. We strongly suggest that you refer to the links above corresponding to our manufacturer's charts for more accurate size selections.

 Bra Fitting Checklist

Here are a list of things to look for to make sure you have selected the correct bra size.

(1) If your breasts do not fill out the cups then you will need a smaller cup size. On the contrary if your breasts are bulging out of your cups then you need a larger cup size. Since in most cases women have one breast larger than the other sometimes by one cup size, then the rule of thumb is choose the cup size that will fit your larger breast. Another thing to keep in mind is that as the band size increases, so does the cup size. So a "D" cup in a 36D is going to be smaller than a "D" cup in a 38D.

(2) The center section of the bra between the cups must fit flat against your body. If it does not then the cup size is too small or the center section of your bra between the two cups is not extended enough to accommodate for the distance between your breasts.

(3) The bottom of the bra in the back and front must be parallel to the floor. The lower edge of the band must lay below the shoulder blades. You will get the best support the lower the back fits.

(4) After wearing your bra for a prolonged time it should not leave any deep marks or lines on your body. If it does this means that either your bra is hooked too tight or the band size is too small.

Panties:

It is crucial that your panties fit well, otherwise you will not feel very comfortable all day. When selecting the right size panties you need to know two measurements. The first is your waist measurement and the second is your hip measurement.

Waist Measurement: To measure your waist take a measuring tape and measure around the natural break in your waist.

Hip Measurement: With a tape measure first make sure that it is parallel to the floor then measure the fullest part of your hips.

After determining your waist and hip measurements, it is important to note that panty sizes tend to vary between different manufacturers. We strongly suggest that you refer to the links above corresponding to our manufacturer's charts for more accurate panty size selections. If you find that you fall in two different level sizes for your waist and hip measurements on the manufacturer's chart, then select the larger of the two sizes.

 Panties Fitting Checklist

Here are a list of things to look for to make sure you have selected the correct panty size.

(1) Make sure that your panty fits naturally against your body.

(2) Your panty in the buttocks area must be cupped. If you find that your panty is not covered over your buttocks area then you need a larger size.

(3) Your waist band should fit snug. If you find that it is rolling in the front or bunching up, then your panty is too large.

(4) The leg openings in your panties should be snug but not so tight that they leave deep marks or lines around your thighs.

(5) If you find that the waistband or the leg area in your panties are stretched out, the material is fraying, or your panties keep riding up, then it is time to replace them.
