Lingerie is that part of the women's wardrobe that is most often invisible. However, at the same time, it should always be beautiful and attractive - this is the law. But it is worth remembering that underwear, namely a bra, you need to be able to choose the right one. And for this you need to know the size of your own chest. How to decide on this and what calculations may be needed in this case - I want to talk about all this.
Action algorithm
So, if a girl does not yet know whether she has the first, second or third bust size, she should take small measurements to determine this on her own. There is, of course, another option: go to the store and try on all the bras, choosing the right one. But this is not the most competent way out, it is still better to first find out your own size. And for this you need to make some fairly simple measurements.
Step 1. Measure your chest
In order for a woman to determine whether she has 2 bust sizes or a third (and possibly the first or fourth), she mustFirst of all, measure your chest at its most protruding points. To do this, you will definitely need a centimeter tape (if it is not at hand, you can take a regular tape or a thick thread, take measurements and find out the numbers already on the ruler). In this case, you need to follow a few fairly simple rules:
- it is necessary to measure the circumference of the chest with the hands lowered "at the seams" (this is important - if the hands are raised, the numbers will turn out to be incorrect, and the calculations cannot be applied in life);
- most often the centimeter tape runs along the nipples - they are the most protruding point;
- measurement tape should fit snugly against the chest, but do not compress it, only in this way the measurements will be correct.
Step 2. Measure the circumference
The next step for a lady who wants to understand whether she has a bust size 2 or another: you need to measure the circumference of the chest. To do this, measurements should be taken under the breast, in the place where it is "attached" to the body. Again, it is important that the measuring tape fits snugly against the skin, but does not squeeze it. The resulting size will correspond to the size that is written on the bras. However, few people will get a strictly clear figure, so you need to round it up to the nearest size. This is done because each bra has several rivets that help adjust the fit of this piece of underwear.
- 63-67 cm - size 65;
- 68-72 cm - size 70;
- 73-77 cm - size 75;
- 78-82 cm - size 80;
- 83-87cm - size 85.
If necessary, calculations can be continued further (if the woman's figure turned out to be more than presented).
Step 3. Determination of cup size
However, the preliminary results obtained are not enough to determine whether the lady has a 2 bust size or another. You also need to know the size of the bra cup. To do this, subtract the second from the first digit received. That's all the calculations. Next, you just need to use the correspondence table to determine the size of the cup, and, accordingly, the size of the woman's breasts.
Example
Be sure to also give an example of calculations for women who want to understand whether they have 2 bust sizes or another. So, let the following figures be obtained by measurement: the first, chest circumference, - 89 cm; the second, the circumference of the body under the chest, is 72 cm. We make simple mathematical calculations: 89 - 72 \u003d 17 cm. This will be the "fullness" of the bust. Next, you need to refer to the table.
| AA | 10-11cm | 0 |
| A | 12-13cm | 1 |
| B | 15cm | 2 |
| C | 17cm | 3 |
| D | 19cm | 4 |
| E | 21cm | 5 |
| F | 23cm | 6 |
| G | 25cm | 7 |
| H | 27cm | 8 |
| I | 29cm | 9 |
| J | 31cm | 10 |
According to our calculations, we got a chest fullness of 17 cm, which corresponds to a C bra cup and a size 3. That's the whole science.
Parallel size
It is definitely worth mentioning that there is such a thing in bras as a parallel size (however, this has nothing to do with the chest, here the size is constant). Knowing her bust size, a woman can also determine the size of her bra through calculations. However, when trying on, the situation may be slightly different. Let's say that the lady in the calculations turned out to be a size of 75B. However, at the same time, she can also try on underwear in sizes 80A and 70C and decide what suits her best. It's all because of the "fit" of the bra.
Foreigners
It is worth mentioning that in each country the size of underwear, including a bra, is usually determined differently. Above were the calculations of the Russian, as well as the European systems. However, if you want to buy foreign underwear, you should definitely look at exactly what sizes are provided there and correlate them with the "native" tables.
Attention
If a woman knows exactly whether she has 1 bust size, a second or a third, she will most likely be able to choose the right underwear without any problems. However, if you do it wrong, you can get a bunch of problems. It is worth mentioning that such a detail of women's wardrobe as a bra recently celebrated its centennial anniversary. But doctors still often say that the wrong choice of it can lead to various problems and diseases.
- If a bra cup is not chosen correctly, it can put pressure on the chest, squeezing it, which in the future can lead to various diseases of the mammary gland, the occurrence of tumors, including cancer.
- If the lady has incorrectly determined the volume under the breast, the bra can strongly squeeze the body, crash, which can lead to injury to the skin and other unpleasant situations.
It will also be interesting that doctors do not advise women to wear bras with the effect of breast enlargement, the so-called push-ups, press-ups, for more than two hours a day. This bra model compresses the breast and causes a violation of blood flow in it, which is also fraught with various diseases.
Fun
The following classification will be interesting, which will help to understand, for example, a man, what a 2 bust size looks like, the third or the first. So, for this there is a very funny comparison of a lady's chest with fruit. Well, let's start introducing. A woman will have size zero breasts if her "charms" are not sizedmore kiwi. The first size corresponds to the well-known apple, the second - a slightly larger orange. The third size of a female bust can be easily compared with a grapefruit, and the fourth - already with a coconut. More impressive fruits will follow: the fifth size is approximately the size of a pineapple, and the sixth is a whole melon. At the same time, it should be said that this comparison is very conditional and should not be taken as a basis for determining the size or choosing a bra. However, there is still some truth to this comparison, in some situations you can also be guided.
About men
Very often, men are interested in what size breasts their lady has. This may be necessary at least in the situation when a guy wants to give his beloved a gift - to present beautiful underwear. It's kind of embarrassing to ask. But here you can try to figure it out yourself. To do this, a man just needs to know how tightly the chest lies in his own palm. And although this may seem like a joke at first glance, this method still works, and sellers in stores often use this example to determine the size of underwear for a girl on their own. So, if the chest only fills the palm a little, this is a zero size. If a little more - this is the first. If the thumb already sticks out a little to the side - this is the 3rd size of the woman's bust. By the way, many men really like this size, it is neither small nor too big. If the lady’s chest does not fit in one palm, most likely she has a bust size 4, or even more.
