Bra size calculators are available on many websites and make the process much easier. But apparently, they do not do any of the measuring for you. Therefore it is vital to know how to use this very useful tool. The gist of a bra size calculator is basically to convert automatically for you the measurements you took into bra sizes. Here are the steps you need to follow in calculating bra size:

Step 1: Band size calculation. You should be able to know your band size by measuring the areas of your chest above and below your bust. The measurement is needed for the following step so you have to do it as correct as possible. The recommended tool to use – a flexible measuring tape. Wrap it over your chest while wearing your bra and take the measurements. Enter the fields into the calculator the moment both numbers are obtained.

Note: coming to this stage, some calculators will need you to calculate your band size, but some others will require you to wait for all the fields to be filled out before calculating sizes.

Step 2: Find out what is your cup size. Your cup size can be obtained so just follow the simple steps. Again with the flexible measuring tape, measure the circumference on the highest point of your chest (i.e your breasts). Enter the numbers you collected into the “cup size” field on the calculator. Following that, hit the button that processes the information – which usually is “calculate” or “enter”. You should be able to determine your bra size in bra language.

Do note that different countries have different methods of measuring bra sizes. Hence it is extremely vital to match the calculator to the country you stay and make sure same units of measurements are made.

Step 3: Do some trial and error. Unless you are a crazy fanatic supporter to a particular brand of bras, you should not be picking up any bra that matches the size you calculated. It is so true that band and cup sizes vary across different bra models. However, you will realize, that it will not take ages to find a bra that suits your size if the measurements are measured.

To sum up bra size calculators are really something that is not complicated to use. Just make sure you do it once a while and it can make you feel marvelous and full of confident to the world.
