How Does the Bodycare Bra Size Calculator Work?
Finding the right bra size becomes easy when you take accurate measurements. The Bodycare bra size calculator guides you through a simple, step-by-step process using just a soft measuring tape. Here’s what you need to do:
Step 1: Measure your under-bust
Place the measuring tape around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Make sure the tape sits flat and snug without feeling too tight. This measurement helps determine your band size.
Step 2: Measure your over-bust
Next, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it parallel to the ground. Hold it gently, without pressing into the skin. This measurement helps calculate your cup size.
Step 3: Click “Calculate” to know your perfect fit
Enter both measurements into the Bodycare Bra Size Calculator and click “Calculate.” Your accurate band size and cup size will appear instantly, making it easier to explore Bodycare’s range of stylish, supportive, and comfortable bras designed for every body type.
Understanding Your Result and What to Do Next
Once you enter your measurements, the calculator shows your band size and cup size. Knowing what these two components mean can help you choose bras that offer the right comfort, shape, and support.
Understanding Your Band Size
- The band size is the number in your bra size, such as 30, 32, 34, or 36.
- It comes from your under-bust measurement.
- The band should feel snug, stay in place, and provide most of the support.
- If the band rides up or feels loose, you may need a smaller size.
Understanding Your Cup Size
- The cup size is the letter in your bra size, such as A, B, C, or D.
- It comes from the difference between your over-bust and under-bust measurements.
- The cups should fully hold your bust without gaps or spillage.
- If you feel pressure, bulging, or empty space inside the cup, a different cup size may be needed.
Fit Examples to Help You Choose Better
- Smooth cups with no gaps mean the cup size is correct.
- A firm but comfortable band means the band size is right.
- The center of the bra should sit flat against the chest.
- Straps should rest comfortably without digging in or slipping off.
Use the Bodycare Bra Size Chart to Help You Find Your True Bra Size
The Bodycare bra size chart makes it easy to cross-check your measurements and confirm your perfect fit. If you want to verify your result manually, match your under-bust and over-bust measurements with the chart to see your exact band and cup size.
- The chart shows under-bust measurements and the corresponding band sizes.
- It also lists the difference between your over-bust and under-bust to help you identify your cup size.
- This is helpful if you are between sizes or want an additional reference before shopping.
- Use the chart to double-check your fit and choose bras that match your exact measurements.
Common Fit Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Even small measurement errors can lead to an uncomfortable fit. Here are the most common mistakes women make and how you can avoid them:
- Choosing a band that is too loose: A loose band rides up and gives poor support. Always pick the band that sits firmly around your ribcage.
- Wearing cups that are too small or too big: Spillage means the cup is too small. Gaps mean it is too big. Choose the size that fully holds the bust comfortably.
- Relying only on strap tightness for support: Straps should not carry all the weight. The band should provide most of the support.
- Measuring over clothing: Thick or layered clothes can change your measurements. Measure over a thin bra or a fitted top for accuracy.
- Wearing the same size across all styles: Fit can vary between T-shirt bras, sports bras, and padded styles. Check the size guide for each type.
- Not rechecking your size regularly: Body shape can change over time. It is helpful to measure yourself every few months for the best fit.
