Do you know your breast size?

Ironically, more than 70% of women can not accurately name their breast size, calling only approximate figures. When buying underwear, the responsibility for choosing the size rests with the seller, who is obliged to orientate in them. And women only choose the style and color. Otherwise, when the seller finds it difficult to determine the size, the customers spend a long time in the dressing room.

When the slashed bra straps are illuminated through the blouse, and the stuck or protruding cups obviously spoil the shape, this indicates an incorrect choice of lingerie. Of course, indicators such as quality, shape and design play an important role in choosing a bra, but if the breast size is incorrect, consider that you wasted your time and money.

Knowing your parameters can be useful not only directly in the store when choosing clothes, but also in colloquial speech. Agree that the size of the 70-A sounds more solid than a unit. If inadvertently in a conversation with a beloved man you "let it out" about your breast size, chances are that you will get a beautiful and convenient gift for the holiday.

In order to correctly calculate the size of the bust, you need to make some measurements. To get the right result, you need help. Ask her about a friend, mom or sister. When the measurements are taken, the hands should be lowered, and the thorax is relaxed at the same time. For owners of magnificent forms it is better to do the procedure in a bra, which does not correct the shape of the breast. Measure the centimeter tape of the chest volume strictly horizontally, passing through the most protruding points of the mammary glands. Then measure the volume under the breast, tightly pressing the tape to the body.

Having received these indicators, you can start calculating the size of the bust. The size of the bra is marked by two parameters: alphabetic - cup size, digital - volume under the breast (cm). The volume under the breast we have already measured, but you need to take into account that on the tag you will find a rounded value of this indicator. Thus, 70 size varies from 67 to 72 cm, 2 size of breasts (75) - from 73 to 77 cm and so on according to the formula "plus 4 centimeters in volume add 5 to the size."

The size of the completeness of the cups is determined by the formula "the value of the volume of the breast minus the value of the volume under the breast". Typically, Latin letters are used for marking , beginning with "A", where the size of "AA" is considered to be the smallest size, followed by A, B, C, and so on. Less commonly, digital marking is used, which we are accustomed to using in colloquial speech. So, by measuring yourself, we get one of the values for which the size of AA is the zero breast size, A is a unit, B is a double, C is the size of 3 breasts, and so on.

Now we look at the correspondence of the indices of the difference between the breast volume and the girth under the breast and determine our calyx size. Size A (1) is equal to the difference of 13 centimeters, B (2) - 14 cm, C (3) - 16 cm, D - 19 cm, DD - 21 cm, E - 24 cm, F - 27 cm and so on.

In order to know the size of Italian or French underwear, which are very popular, the difference between the chest girth and under the breast is divided by 6. Manufacturers of these European countries use a different sizing system.

Buying a bra, it should in any case first try on, because the shape of the product also matters. After all, you can choose the size is not 80-V, and 75-C, for example, or 85A.
