As a woman, one of my consistent struggles is keeping track of my bra size.
It seems that by a certain age that a woman would know her own bra size, but your bra size can change depending on the brand and the various styles that the brand may make (such as strap-less, balconette, etc.).
It is even advised to get your bra measurements taken once a year due to how styles, as well as your body, change.
Aging, hormone fluctuations, pregnancy, weight loss or gain, and stress are factors that can result in changes in your breasts.
When considering the various brands of lingerie and bras available, sizes may run differently. For instance, one brand’s DDD-cup may be smaller than the next brand’s DDD-cup.
Unless I decide to have my measurements taken every time I go bra shopping, I’m usually playing a guessing game on my size. How many can relate?
Learning how to efficiently calculate your bra size will be beneficial in the long run for a few reasons.
