Determine breast size maybe both its owner and its gentleman. At home, this can be done very simply, as there are a large number of ways, which we will tell you about a little later.

The size of the female breast is simply necessary to determine in the case of buying a new bra. Moreover, both a woman and a man can do this. L The bra should be chosen in such a way that during everyday wear it does not squeeze the chest and does not pinch the skin.

If you want to know your breast size, we offer you several ways in which it can be determined. As for men, they can also use these methods, however, we have prepared an easier option for them.

Methods of determination

It is very important to determine the size of the breast correctly so as not to get erroneous values. Of course, no one can determine the exact size by eye from the photo, but it’s very easy to do it live.

The first way by which you can determine the size of the chest of a girl or woman is the girth. It must be measured with a centimeter. Girth should be measured first under the bust, and then along the most convex zones of the chest. Thanks to the accurate measurement of the circumference of the bust, you can easily choose a bra according to the volume of its cups.

The second way is a special table that will help determine the size of the breast by fixed values. Here you will need the measurements you took with the centimeter in the last step. Subtract the smaller value from the larger value and look at the resulting number, comparing it with the numbers in the table. Thanks to this, it is very easy to determine the size of the breast.

However, in order to understand and determine the breast size for choosing a bra, you also need to know the letter designations, since sometimes far from familiar numbers can be found on the label. To find out the size of the chest by letter, use the second table.

Thanks to these tables, you can easily determine the size of even a silicone female breast or special pads for it. Visually, without a centimeter, it is very difficult to find out this value, since the chest of each girl has a different volume and bulge. However, now you know the right way to do it at home. Learn more about choosing underwear for a specific chest size in the video below.

Guide for men

Men can also use the methods that were presented above, however, not every guy is able to approach his chosen one with a centimeter and make her stand still. That is why there are two trouble-free ways to correctly determine the size of the female breast. We invite you to consider them in more detail and take them into service.

By bra

The easiest way to determine the size of a girl's breasts is to look at her bra. Often, the size is written on it in the form of a number or letter. The table above will help you decipher the literal value, and everything is clear with the numbers. However, what if there is no opportunity to borrow a bra, but you want to know the size of your breasts? There is a second way for this.

By hand (by touch)

You can determine the size of a girl's breasts by touch. To do this, we suggest that you take a look at the table in which the position of the palms corresponds to one or another size of the female breast. Using this table, you can accurately determine the size of your lady's breasts and impress her with a good gift in the form of beautiful underwear.

To date great amount bras different color, tailoring and sizes. Every third girl, having come to a lingerie store, cannot exactly tell the seller what her breast size is.

Therefore, a lot of time is spent to calculate and select correct option for the buyer. In this article, we will talk about how to determine the size of the breast and why it is so important. First, a perfectly fitting bra is health.

It is strictly forbidden to use tight underwear or, on the contrary, too weak, as the female breast can be deformed and the wrong pressure will simply be applied to the chest.

Secondly, as mentioned earlier - saving time. Arriving at the store, you will focus on choosing a model, rather than wasting precious time on calculations.

Thirdly, the opportunity to receive the right gifts. Tell me would you like to receive young man underwear that he would really like to see you wear, and which he easily purchased in the store. So that the guy does not waste time on how he would find out the size of the girl's breasts, you can simply tell this cherished combination and wait for a good gift.

As you can see, there are a lot of pluses, so you can go to the most basic. For measurements, we need a perfectly fitting bra, a measuring tape and calculation paper. Stand up straight and take the first measurement under your bust, pressing the band tightly against your body.

When taking this measurement, you do not need to take a deep breath or exit, as the result will be slightly distorted. It is very important that the band fits snugly, because this size will determine how tight the bra fits you. For example, we got 71 cm.

Further, the measurement passes along the nipples, this measurement is made free, without tight fitting with a tape. For owners of large breasts, it is recommended to do this measurement in a bra with a tightening effect. For example, in our case, we received the number 92 cm. Now we subtract the first value from the second: 92 - 71 \u003d 21 cm.

• 10-12 cm - AA (0)
• 12-14 cm - A (1)
• 14-16 cm - B (2)
• 16-18 cm - C (3)
• 18-20 cm - D (4)
• 20-22 cm - DD (5)
• 23-25 ​​cm - E (6)
• 26-28 cm - F (7)

What does the number before the letter mean? This is the rounded value of your first measurement. It's better to round like this:

• from 67 to 72 cm - write down 70 cm;
• from 73 to 77 cm - we write down 75 cm;
• from 78 to 82 cm - we write down 80 cm;
• from 83 to 87 cm - we write down 85 cm;
• from 88 to 92 cm - write down 90 cm;
• from 93 to 97 cm - we write down 95 cm;
• from 98 to 102 cm - we write down 100 cm and so on.

Do not be afraid that the bra will be tight. This is the value of the average fastener, so you will definitely have 1-2 cm in stock.

In our case, we got the following size: 70DD

Video: How to determine the bust number?

We were able to make out the Russian markings. For example, in the USA they use the inch system of measurement, and their calculation is slightly different from ours. You can take measurements in centimeters, and then convert to inches (1 inch \u003d 2.54 cm) or immediately use an inch tape. Below is an instruction on how to correctly determine the size of the female breast according to the American system.

These measurements are taken while standing, wearing a properly fitting bra.

First measurement: we place the measuring tape at the back along the lower edge of the bra, and in front a little overestimating, as if putting the tape on the chest (see picture). We translate the result into inches by dividing by 2.54. Suppose we got 93 cm, divide by 2.54 and get 36.6. This is the length of the bra band.

We need the second measurement to determine the cup size. The measurement is taken on the most protruding part of the chest. Let's say we got 96 cm (in inches 37.8). To determine the size of the cup, subtract the first measurement from the second (in inches) and look at the table of values: 37.8-36.6 = 1.2

According to the table, we see that we have cup A. Conclusion: according to the inch calculation, we got size 36A.

To avoid difficulties, how to find out the size of the bust, the table will show you the correspondence between Russian and American sizes:

Europeans also think differently, they divide the difference between the girths by 6 and the bra size can be expressed in fractional numbers. Accordingly, if we take numbers from the first dimension, we get: (92-71)/6=21/6=3.5. If you did not find the right size when choosing underwear, you can use an alternative size. Look in the table:

As you can see, it is very easy to get confused when you come to the store. A wide variety of markings is sometimes confusing, so for your convenience I will give a table of correspondence with other sizes that can be found on the market.

Sometimes the question arises, how to visually determine the size of the breast? You can use this scheme. If a woman's breasts fit in one palm, then this is about the first size.

If the palm is slightly full, then this is closer to the second. If between thumb and the rest is a little space, then the girl is the owner of the third size.

Well, if the chest hardly fits in the palm of your hand, otherwise a second one is needed, then this is the fourth or fifth size. On the Internet, you can see such pictures-allowances that will help when choosing underwear as a gift for your beloved:

But still, you should not rely on the eye, but rather use all of the above points, then you can easily not only determine yourself, but also tell your friends how to find out the exact size.

Pictures of breast sizes

Labeling of underwear, in particular bra size, is quite complex and sometimes not entirely clear to the fair sex itself - to those for whom this product is intended. But even if you understand it, then telling someone “my chest is 80C” can confuse a person, but if you say “I have a 3rd size”, then absolutely everyone will understand, at least approximately.

But how to determine the correspondence of the numbering used in different countries and the volume of the bust in the generally accepted, so to speak, masculine sense?

How to determine the size of a bra - chest?

Going to the lingerie store, you must first of all pay attention to the fact that the bra sits comfortably, does not squeeze the chest and does not hinder movement. The original design of the model is also important, but it’s still worth thinking about your own health. So, how to choose a bra, which will be both beautiful and comfortable?

The first thing to do for this is to take a centimeter tape and take 2 measurements:

• chest circumference: the measuring tape runs along the most convex points of the bust, and the measurement must be made in a well-fitting bra (not push-up);
• girth under bust: measured at the lower points of the bra, without tightening the tape too much.

Having received the results and writing them down so as not to forget, you can begin to calculate the desired value. To do this, subtract the smaller number (girth under the bust) from the larger number (bust girth).

For example, if you measured the bust at the protruding points, you got 99 cm, and the second measurement (fullness) is 85 cm, then you get 14. Scatter options- from 10 to 23.

How not to get confused: bra size chart

We correlate the number obtained as a result of the above calculations with table and we see that it corresponds to the usual 2nd size.

We looked at 6 bra cups that can be found on sale today, and the letter designations that correspond to them.

Online calculator - find out or check your size

To check the received data, you can use a convenient tool - a calculator. breast size, which will free you from long calculations, quickly give the finished result, saving the most valuable thing - time ().

But no matter how convenient and accurate tables and calculators are, nevertheless the best way choice proper bra, which will exactly repeat the shape of your breasts, is a fitting. After all, the proportions of the body of each woman are unique, and only by putting on this spicy piece of clothing, looking at yourself in the mirror and evaluating whether it hinders your movements, you can understand whether it suits you or you should look for another option.

And finally, an instruction for men who want to buy underwear for their soulmate 🙂

Most men and, oddly enough, women, when visiting women's underwear stores, fall into a stupor. They can not exactly determine the size of the required bra.

Let's see how breast size is determined? How to find out what your bust volume is, how to measure it correctly?

If a man decides to find out the size of the female breast, then you can use tactile memory and approximately determine the volume of forms, while taking into account that the first one is covered with an almost flat palm, the second is placed in a curved one, and the third and fourth are not clasped with each palm, look at the photo below. But all this, of course, is relative.

But in order to choose the right underwear, women need to know their volume with high accuracy.

How to determine the size of a woman's bust?

The thing is that it is not enough to measure the girth of the bust with a centimeter or peep the symbols on an existing bra. It is necessary to take a comprehensive approach to measurements, and then find out on which scale of designations you need to navigate. Unfortunately, in many countries, manufacturers produce underwear rather uncoordinated - they do not have a unified system of measurements and designations. But after all, you can find products from all over the world on sale.

Most of the fairer sex does not know, or is not able to accurately name, the size of their own bust. To the question: “What size chest do you have?”, they answer, “I have somewhere in the second or third.” Usually girls define "offhand" the average size but it is not always correct. And wearing a bra of the wrong size only harms the mammary glands (risk of sagging, displacement, stretch marks, atrophy of the pectoral muscles, insufficient blood supply, etc.). So what to do, how to determine the volume of my breasts? I have a 90 cm bra belt, how can I have a bust of the first size? Let's try to figure it out.

What do I need to take correct measurements?

In order to choose the right underwear for a particular woman as correctly as possible, it is necessary to take measurements 3-4 days after menstruation (otherwise there will be a possibility of some error, because during menstruation, the majority of the breasts noticeably increase). Next, you need to remove all excess clothing, except for a thin bra (without push-up and other inserts), which sits comfortably and does not squeeze anything. If you take measurements without a bra, there may be errors (the exception is the first or second size).

In this form, it is recommended to stand in front of a large mirror for convenience in order to control the correctness of measurements from the side. Now a centimeter is taken and the circumference of the chest is measured directly under the chest (in this case, the centimeter is strictly parallel to the floor plane everywhere).

Although most "specialists" advise doing only two types of measurements, it makes sense to do a third. To do this, a woman standing in front of a mirror leans forward so that her chest is parallel to the floor. The girth of the bust is measured again in the slope, at the most protruding points, and the centimeter should now be strictly perpendicular to the plane of the floor. If there is no mirror or it is difficult to measure on your own, you can use the help of, for example, a husband (usually husbands do not mind measuring their wife’s bust at all).

The third measurement of the cup size can improve the accuracy of sizing, especially if the woman has ptosis (sagging breasts).

Having all the necessary data, you can proceed directly to the calculation of dimensions.

Calculating my belt size

In the post-Soviet countries, underwear is produced with a belt size corresponding to the rounded value of the chest girth under the bust, however, in some European countries, for example, France and Italy, the value is not averaged.

Cup size calculation

To find out your bra cup size, you need to subtract the same value made in the slope from the value of the circumference along the protruding points while standing. If the result obtained exceeds 5 cm, then the average value is calculated and taken as a basis (this is important in the presence of mastoptosis). If less than 5 cm, then the girth of the chest is taken as the basis.

Further, the circumference of the chest under the bust is subtracted from the obtained volume and checked with the correspondence table. As well as with the size of the bra belt, in different countries the table of correspondence of cups is different. In the same Italy and France, the unrounded value of the circumference of the chest under the bust is subtracted from the chest girth at the most protruding points, and then simply divided by 6. This will be your chest size.

How can I determine my breast size?

Now having two sizes, you just need to combine them (for example, 70A).

Chest circumference under the bust - 69 cm.

The circumference at the most protruding points is 76.6 cm.

Tilt chest - 79cm (79-76.6<5).

Determination of breast size: bra belt length (first table) - 70, cup size (second table) 76.6-69 \u003d 7.6 - C (third size), thus, the size of the required bra is 70C.

What is the breast size if different measurements and calculations result in different indicators?

Sometimes after carrying out the same measurements, the results are on the border of two sizes.

Chest circumference under the bust - 74 cm.

The circumference at the most protruding points is 81.4 cm.

Tilt chest - 86cm (86-81.4<5).

Calculation: bra belt length (first table) - 75, cup volume (second table) 81.4-74 = 7.4 - B (or C, since the value is close to the third value and it is necessary to try on both bras in practice). Thus, the size of the required bra is 75B or 75C.

Interchangeable sizes of this type can also be called:

• belt 75 cm - 75A ÷ 75V;
• 80A ÷ 75V, and for 75V 75C or 70C may be suitable;
• 80V is commensurate with 75C and 70D;
• 85V - 80C or 70V;
• 90 V - 85S or 80D.

The mutual interchangeability of bras from different manufacturers is especially pronounced (sometimes two bodices of the same size, but different firms are not the same).

Unfortunately, a large number of women do not have information about their exact sizes and try on clothes by eye. After all, who hasn’t heard the phrase in the lingerie department: “I don’t know what my breast size is!”. The seller with experience of course will help determine the size.

Some specialists are even able to calculate the size of a woman's breasts from a photograph if they need help with a gift. But it is not always possible to stumble upon a professional, and besides, they tend to make mistakes. And who would be pleased to buy beautiful underwear of the wrong size and put it aside or give it to a friend? Therefore, every woman would like to learn how to determine her breast size correctly.

How to find out the size of the chest according to the table?

The easiest way is to use the tips of the breast size chart. If you buy linen in an online store, then a special calculator will help you calculate the required size according to the entered parameters.

But first you need to learn how to measure these same parameters. A correct result can only be obtained if all measurements are made accurately. And do not forget that each manufacturing country has its own system for measuring breast size. As a rule, these dimensions are indicated by letters or numbers.

To begin with, the parameter is measured - the girth under the chest. With this measurement, accuracy is important - the centimeter should fit snugly against the body. In such a measurement system, the parameter is rounded up to the average value and this is what comes out:

• 67-72 cm- as a result we get 70 cm;
• 73-77 cm- as a result we get 75 cm;
• 78-82 cm- as a result we get 80 cm;
• 83-87 cm- as a result we get 85 cm;
• 88-92 cm- as a result we get 90 cm;
• 93-97 cm- as a result we get 95 cm;
• 98-102 cm- as a result we get 100 cm;
• even larger sizes are rounded according to the same principle.

The next measurement parameter is the girth of the raised points. Sometimes it will be more convenient to take these measurements by wearing a bra, only without any foam rubber or any other seals. When all parameters are known, we find the difference between them.

In this table, according to the number found, it is easy to determine the size of the chest:

It is worth noting that sometimes manufacturers indicate linen and underbust girth and cup size, which is in the second column of the table.

How to find out the bust size according to European standards?

In European countries, the measurement system is fundamentally different from the above system. For example, in France and Italy, the underbust circumference is not rounded to an average value, but the exact one is taken. Then the difference is also found, only after that it is further divided by 6. The resulting number is the size of the breast.

There are quite a few tables with different systems for designating female breast sizes for each individual manufacturing country.

Now every woman can independently determine her breast size and she does not need to contact anyone for this, moreover, there will be no more regrets about wasted money. And here are some more recommendations for those who want to donate underwear and do not know the right bust size.

How can a man determine the size of a woman's breasts without the presence of her owner? Sometimes you can laugh, watching how some men in lingerie stores clumsily and funny portray the female volumes of their lady of the heart, trying to choose something by eye! Sometimes sellers use pictures as hints, but this method can hardly be called effective.

The easiest way would be to directly find out from her beloved her size. But sometimes it is impossible to do this for some reason, or a surprise gift will no longer be unexpected. Then there are other methods for determining the size of the female breast.

You can peep the size on your favorite underwear or the size of her outerwear. Having at least such knowledge, the consultant will be a little easier to navigate the problem of a man.

Summing up, it should be noted that choosing underwear by eye in the hope of luck is not worth it, because there are quite a few ways to find out the size of a woman's breasts. It will be more useful to collect as much accurate information as possible, since even small discrepancies in size can make the surprise not very pleasant.
