Getting the right bra size for teens can be a challenge and most people don’t wear the best size for their comfort and appearance. Often this is because they simply guess their size – and guess wrong! Read this article to get to know how to measure your bra correctly - mainly aimed at teenagers.

Remember to measure all the way around your chest and back, under your bust. The tape should be firm but not tight and even (be careful not to let it slip at the back).

Take this chest measurement in inches and if the measurement is an even number, add 4 inches (or 10cm). So, for example, if you are 28 inches, add 4 inches, giving a measurement of 32. This is the band size of your bra.

If the measurement is an odd number, then add 5 inches (or 12.5cm); so, for instance, 29 inches plus 5, for a result of 34 inches.

Step 2: Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, again in inches. This is your bust size for your bra.

Step 3: Simply subtract your band size from your bust size to determine your bra cup size. If the result is -1, then your cup size is AA. If the band and bust measurements are the same, then your cup size is A. Or if the bust size is one inch larger than the band size, then you are a B cup…and so on.

And that’s it. Just marry the two sizes, so that you have 32AA, or 34B, or whatever your bra size is! So now you don't have to worry about wearing an uncomfortable and wrong sized bra again!
