The undergarments you wear should never interfere with your day-to-day activities—in fact, they should fit so comfortably that you forget you're even wearing them. If that sounds impossible, there's a good chance you haven't been wearing the right size. Fortunately, learning how to measure your bra size doesn't take long, and you'll reap the rewards forever.

Find Your Perfect Fit
A bra that fits well makes all the difference. If you're in a pinch and can't come in for a fitting, here are some tips for taking your measurements at home.
How to Measure Your Band Size
Put on your best-fitting nonpadded bra.
Wrap a measuring tape snugly around your rib cage, just beneath your bustline.
Adjust the tape so that it's parallel to the floor.
Exhale deeply—you want the smallest measurement possible.
Round to the nearest whole number and refer to the size chart below.
Tip: Because bra bands tend to stretch over time, your bra should fit firmly on the last hook when new. There are some caveats to keep in mind. Larger band sizes tend to stretch more since there's more material, which means you may want to size down. Or you may want to size up if you're between sizes and find the bra's band too tight. You may also want to size up or down if the band feels especially tight or loose, since band sizes can vary from brand to brand.
How to Measure Your Cup Size
The letter in a bra size corresponds to your cup measurement. While we tend to think of the cup size range as A through D, it's actually bigger. If you've never measured your bust, it's possible you aren't wearing the right cup size. To determine your cup size:
Wrap a measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust while standing.
The tape should be taut but not tight—try not to squish or distort your breasts.
Once you've measured your bust, simply subtract your band size from this number; the difference corresponds with the letter of your cup size (refer to the size chart below).
Note: American and UK sizes are different, so double-check the bra brand when trying it on or making your purchase. Checking out a brand you've never worn before? Brands from different countries label cup sizes for D and above differently.

How Often Should You Measure Your Bra Size?
Your bra size fluctuates when your body's size, shape, and weight change. Measure yourself at least once a year since your body changes naturally as you age. Additionally, measure your bra size more often if you experience any of the following:
Wearing the correct bra size can improve your comfort, relieve back and shoulder pain, and boost your confidence—and it's also good for your posture. As our bodies and lifestyles change, so do our bra sizes, so make sure to visit your local Bras and Honey store to get fit often.
