Bra size equivalence guide: How to get it right without going crazy?

Knowing our exact bra size is still an adventure for most of us. Although time has passed, this issue continues to arouse suspicion and it is normal to feel insecure when we think of buying such clothes online.

It is the basis for choosing the cup and its contour correctly (here you have all the necessary information about it), but in addition to that each company uses its own measurements and the system is different from ours in countries such as Italy and America.. We have prepared a simple guide to deal with this problem so that you don’t have to worry about buying a bra.

Examples to know our size

First, we stop talking about models that leave behind centimeters of the contour under the bust (85, 90, 95…) and the bust (A, B, C…). Leave it to classic sizes with letters (S, M, L…) or numbers (36, 38, 40…) like shirts or trousers..

For example, Lefties, Calvin Klein, Black Limba or Sloggi bralettes and bras use this system. What should we do in this situation? Easy: See the equivalence chart for each brand.

to get an idea, below we see a table of Women’s Secrets. The centimeter in “A” is the measurement above the nipples, while “B” is the girth just below the breast. Many companies’ websites have a description of the system they use to make their bras.

It is important, then, to know that the measurement system is not the same in all countries. We find the same sizes in Spain, Portugal and France, in Italy, the rest of Europe and the United States they use another method..
