What are the perfect bra sizes?

In This Article:

There's nothing like putting on a bra that properly fits. Fit bra size can help you feel more confident and self-assured as if you're ready to take on the world. However, few people completely know how bra sizes work. To understand how a bra size works, you'll need to know two measurements: your band size and your cup size. We'll go through how to make sure you're wearing the correct bra size in this article. To determine your bra size, you'll need two measurements. These are the bra sizes of your band and cup. The number is made up of your band size, while the letter represents your cup size.

For perfect bra size with a measuring tape, measure around your back and under your bust, wear a bra's band that would normally lie. Make sure the tape is moving in a smooth, even circle. It should be snug but not overly so. Measure in inches, and if the result is an even number, you've found your band size. If the number is odd, round up to the nearest inch to determine your size. Then measure your chest at its widest point. Subtract the size of your band from this bust measurement. Your cup size is shown by the difference between 0=AA; 1=A; 2=B; 3=C; 4=D; 5=DD; 6=F; 7=FF; 8=G; 9=GG; 10=H; 11=HH; 12=J; 13=JJ; 14=K. The exact size of the strap and the cup size of the bra can provide some volume and uplifted.

In bra sizes the actual cup size changes as you progress through the band bra sizes. That is, if you go down a band size, you will go up a cup size, and if you go down a cup size, you will go down a band size. So, a 36AA bra is the equivalent of 34A, 32B, and 30C bras, giving you a few more options supposedly. Anyone who has ever worn an incorrect bra size understands how easily a perfectly perfect outfit or worse, an entire day can be ruined. The breast soreness and backaches that can accompany an unfit or incorrect bra size are not to be taken lightly. The alternative is to select and purchase a set of perfect size bra with the ideal cut, fit, and size.

Different lingerie companies have notoriously inconsistent bra sizes; a C-cup at one retailer could easily be a D-cup at another. This will provide the necessary support around your ribcage as well as support for the cups, allowing for some volume and uplifted. Look for a strapless bra with moulded, padded cups that add anywhere from a half-size to an additional cup, as these will help to uplifted and enhance your natural curves rather than look like slapped-on padding and they'll be more comfortable than bras with multiple cups. A bra with the correct size and adjustable straps with a hook and eye fastening is also included. So that's how using the right size can help you. This allows you to mold the bra to your body for a unique fit.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
