For many of us it is still an odyssey to know our exact bra size. Although time passes, this topic continues to cause doubts and it is normal for us to have insecurities when we think about buying this type of clothing online.
The cup and the contour are basic to choose correctly (here you have all the necessary information about it), but in addition to this each firm uses its own measures and in countries like Italy and the United States the system is different from ours. In order to deal with this problem, we have prepared a simple guide so that buying bras is not a headache.
Examples to know our size
First, we stop to talk about those models that leave behind the centimeters of the contour below the chest (85, 90, 95…) and the bust (A, B, C…) to give way to the classic sizes in letters (S, M, L…) or in numbers (36, 38, 40…), as if they were shirts or pants.
For example, Lefties, Calvin Klein, Black Limba or Sloggi bralettes and bras use this system. What should we do in this case? Easy: consult the equivalence table of each brand.
To get an idea, below we see a table of Women’secret. The centimeters in “A” are the measurement above the nipples, while “B” is the girth just below the chest. Many firms have on their website an explanation of the system they use to make their bras.
Then, it is important to know that the measurement system is not the same in all countries. In Spain, Portugal and France we find the same sizes, while in Italy, the rest of Europe and the United States they use another method.
Black Limba
The firm has a size chart complete enough to know what size ours is without problems. The numbers in the top row refer to the measurements of the fullest part of the chest, while the numbers in the left column indicate the width of the back just below the breasts.

lefties
In this case, Lefties has a rough guide to find out which bra suits us best. In this case, the signature only takes into account the maximum measurement of the contour of our chest to know what size we need from XS to XXL.

calvin klein
The firm has a size guide with which it is difficult not to hit the size if you measure yourself correctly. The only thing you have to do to choose the ideal size for the bralette or top is to consult the width of your bust contour and look for the equivalence in the following source. In this case, It is used for both inner top and swimwear.

Finally, we talk about Sloggi. The house, specialized in underwear without seams or rings, has a table on its website to find out our size if we know what measures we have depending on which country we are in. If you know your bust and girth measurements, you’re pretty much done.
