How to Use the Bra Size Calculator
Finding the perfect bra size is essential for comfort and support. Our Bra Size Calculator simplifies this process by providing an easy-to-use tool. Here’s how to use it:
- Select Measurement Units: Choose between inches or centimeters from the dropdown menu based on your preference.
- Measure Your Band Size: Use a measuring tape to measure around your ribcage, just beneath your bust. Ensure the tape is snug and level. Enter this value in the “Band Size” field.
- Measure Your Bust Size: Measure around the fullest part of your bust. The tape should be loose enough to allow for comfort but not slack. Enter this value in the “Bust Size” field.
- Calculate: Click on the “Calculate” button to determine your estimated bra sizes in various international sizing systems.
