Only for moms - the right bra size!
A badly fitting bra can have various health consequences!
Recently, the representative of a lingerie academy in a TV show said that about 80 percent of all women wear a wrong bra size. This refers especially to the cup size.
But the right size can be easily determined. You have to do that Upper Chest (the chest at the strongest point) and the Underbustwidth (just below the chest when exhaled).
The under bust size corresponds to the Bra size, With the difference of the two dimensions you can then the right one Cup size determine.
The following overview serves this purpose:
| Cup size | difference |
| Cup AA | 10-12 cm |
| Cup A | 12-14 cm |
| Cup B | 14-16 cm |
| Cup C | 16-18 cm |
| Cup D | 18-20 cm |
| Cup E | 20-22 cm |
| Cup F | 22-24 cm |
| Cup G | 24-26 cm |
| Cup H | 26-28 cm |
| Cup I | 28-30 cm |
| Cup J | 30-32 cm |
| Cup K | 32-34 cm |
But since the bra sizes are only in 5 cm jumps, it may be that there is not exactly the right size bra. Then there is the possibility that z. For example, if the bra size is one size larger and the cup size is smaller or the bra size is one size smaller and the cup size larger.
For example, instead of the Size 80 C then fit the size 85 B or 75 D.
| 75 A | 75 B | 75 C | 75 d |
| 80 A | 80 B | 80 C | 80 d |
| 85 A | 85 B | 85 C | 85 D |
| 90 A | 90 B | 90 C | 90 d |
What to look for when choosing the right bra size!
- The cups must completely surround the breasts, but should not crush it and there should be no cavities.
- The inner and outer temple tips must not press the chest.
- The side straps should enclose the chest well.
- The middle bridge between the cups must rest on the skin.
- The wearer should not be too relaxed but not cut. (The length can usually be corrected.)
- With a large bust you should pay attention to wider straps, so they do not cut.
- Also, the back part may not cut and should be at the same height with the front part.
- The underbust area must be close to the body, but must not cut.
- The underbust band should not be too tight and not too loose. Therefore, close the fitting with the first hook, then you can tighten it, if the bra should widen later.
What consequences can wearing an inappropriate bra size have?
Wearing the wrong bra size can not only cause pain and inflammation in the breasts, but also back pain or shoulder discomfort.
Too small, too tight bra can lead to redness, inflammation and even circulatory disorders due to excessive pressure, which can lead to the formation of cysts in the breast tissue.
Too much bra causes friction, inflammation and shoulder pain, it can even promote breast relaxation.
