THE BRA WIZ QUIZ

Bra Math 101: When you go up a band size, you go down a cup size and when you go down a band size, you go up a cup size!

What is the sister size of a 34D?

About 90% of your support is in your band and 10% is in your straps!

The Band

Which part of the bra gives you the most support?

Many women wear new bras on the tightest hook which isn’t that great for support. If you buy a bra that fits snug on the loosest hook, you will be able to tighten your bra as it stretches out over time.

They should feel snug, but not too tight on the loosest hook!

When you are shopping for a bra, how should it fit?

The biggest cup size on the US bra size chart is an O cup (An O cup is a K cup in the UK). Most stores in the US go up to a DD or DDD, but there are actually 9 more cup sizes! Sizes bigger than a DDD are more common than you think!

An O cup!

What is the biggest cup size on the US bra size chart?

Like a doctor’s check up, you should get measured at least once a year to see if you are still wearing the right size.

Once a year or when you think your size changed

How often should you get measured for a bra?

Bras are like clothes, you never buy the same size! Each brand and style fits differently.

False

True or False: You should be the same bra size, no matter what bra you try on.

Rule #1: Never throw your bras in the dryer! The heat from the dryer and the chemicals from regular detergents will wear out your bra faster. Even on a delicate cycle, your bras can still get ruined in the washer.

Hand wash them with a lingerie detergent and hang dry them

To make your bras last longer, you should...

Bra Math 101: When you wear a smaller band, the volume of the cup gets smaller too. 30DDD looks similar to a 32DD or a 34D.

30DDD

Can you guess what bra size is on the mannequin?

DDD is not as big as you think! It's hard to guess someone's bra size when you compare yourself or the bras you see at major lingerie stores.

What size is the model wearing?

To determine a bra style, look at the gore of the bra (its the front-center of the bra) and the cup coverage. A bra with a low/small gore is a plunge. A balcony, demi cup, and full coverage bra has a higher/larger gore than a plunge bra.

Plunge Bra

What kind of bra is this?

When it comes to bra shopping you would rather go to a bra burning bonfire. You probably don't wear a bra or avoid bra shopping until your bra is hanging on by one strap.
