Choosing Bra

By Anne Ahira

Determining your bra size is not as hard as one may dream. But, most women actually have on a size that is not fitting. There are a few women who simply buy a size that is too outsized and does not provide the suitable quantity of support.

Then, there are women who purchase a bra size that is too small and this makes for a high amount of discomfort. While it is important to understand that the bra that you purchase may not fit exactly perfectly, it is important to get as close as possible in sizing. The first thing that you should do is to put on a bra that offers a relatively high level of support. Once this is done, you will need to get a tape measure.

Get the tape measure and run it just below the girth of the bra area and get a note of the measurement that you turn up with. Once you take this sizes, it is time to use your rounding skills, and round the number to the closest, even one.

If you get a measurement of 31, for example, you would want to round up to the even number of a 32 for your bra size. Once you get this number, put the measuring tape around the circumference of the body that overlaps the nipple area of the breast.

The difference that you get between the inch underneath the breast, and the inch crossways the breast, is will be something like one inch and even up to nine inches. This would make easier determine the "cup" size. Once you get this size, choosing the perfectly bra will be a breeze! - 15634
