Understanding Bra Fit Issues
Incorrect Bra Fit Statistics
Surveys and studies often cite that anywhere between 70-85% of women wear incorrectly fitted bras. While data collection methods between various sources is not consistent and these percentages may be inflated, incorrectly fitted bras are nonetheless a significant issue, evidenced by the number of studies, articles, and complaints surrounding the issues women face due to a lack of size standardization.
Studies have revealed that the most common mistake made by women when selecting a bra was to choose too large a back band and too small a cup. Part of the issue is the lack of standardization regarding band and cup sizes.

Professional Fitting Tips & Advice
When to Get Measured
Weight Changes
Remeasure after gaining or losing 10+ pounds as this affects both band and cup size.
Life Changes
Hormonal changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause can alter breast size and shape.
Age Considerations
Breast shape and size change with age, requiring size reassessment every 1-2 years.
Measurement Best Practices
Time of Day
Measure in the morning when breasts are at their natural size, before hormonal fluctuations.
Proper Posture
Stand straight, breathe normally, and keep arms relaxed at sides for accurate measurements.
Multiple Measurements
Take measurements 2-3 times and use the average for better accuracy and consistency.
Size Standardization Issues
These vary largely between countries, and even manufacturers, making it difficult to use these measures as anything more than an approximate fit. A 34B bra from two different companies, for example, may not fit the same person because of this lack of standardization.
Brand Variations
Same size can fit differently across brands due to varying construction methods and sizing standards.
Regional Differences
Cup and band sizing systems vary significantly between US, UK, European, and Asian markets.
Style Impact
Different bra styles (push-up, sports, wireless) may require different sizes for optimal fit.
Professional Fitting Recommendation
While this calculator provides a good starting point, professional bra fittings at lingerie stores can provide personalized advice considering breast shape, tissue distribution, and individual comfort preferences. Many specialty stores offer free fitting services and can recommend specific brands and styles that work best for your unique measurements and needs.
