When buying a bra, you will definitely see various sizes like 32A, 34C, 38B and others. But do you know what those numbers and letters mean? Come on, so I don't choose the wrong one, read the following guidelines:
Measure and check the label numbers and letters first
First, find out first the bottom circle and your breast circumference. The lower circumference of the breast is measured by using a meter, which is looped to the body right at the bottom of the chest or ribs.
While the breast circumference is usually called the cup, measured from one outer ring of your breast to the other end, crossing the nipple. After making measurements, match the results with the following information:

63-67 cm 30 or 65
68-72 cm 32 or 70
73-77 cm 34 or 75
78-82 cm 36 or 80
83-87 cm 38 or 85
88-92 cm 40 or 90.
How to measure breast cup
The size of the breast (Cup) is indicated by letters A to D. The question is, how do you find out your cup size? To find out, you can use the formula: (Size of breast circumference - size of the lower breast circumference) + 2.
For example, you have breasts measuring 70 cm in circumference, and the size of the lower breast circumference is 60 cm. Then your cup size is (70-60) + 2 = 12 cm. To find out what breast you are in, you can use the guide below:
10 - 12 cm = cup A
13-14 cm = cup B
15-17 cm = C cup

Make sure when worn, the bra back strap does not rise and becomes higher than the cup. If the bra strap rises, then this indicates that your bra size is not right
Your bra may be looser for a certain period. Generally within a period of 8 months, depending on how often you wear it. You better have seven to eight bras to be used alternately. The goal is that you do not wear the same bra continuously in two days and last longer. If some bras already feel uncomfortable, maybe it's time to buy a new one.
Is it better for a bra with foam or not? You want to use a bra with foam or not depending on the characteristics of the breast. If your breasts are included, then a bra without foam can be an option. If not, you can choose a push-up bra with foam and wire, which can make your breasts look more beautiful.
Generally, girls are also less careful in maintaining bra quality. So what to do? Yes, of course it is washing bras. The bra must be washed using your own hands with cold water. Avoid inserting bras into the washing machine so that the straps do not loose and break quickly.
