How to Choose the Right Bra Size in India

Discover your perfect fit — comfort, confidence, and care by INTIMORA 💕

Did you know that nearly 8 out of 10 Indian women wear the wrong bra size? Wearing an ill-fitting bra doesn’t just affect your look — it can lead to back pain, poor posture, and a lack of confidence. The truth is, the perfect bra size can transform the way you feel in your everyday outfits, sarees, or festive attire.

At INTIMORA, we believe lingerie is more than just a layer under your clothes — it’s your foundation for confidence and comfort. That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you find your correct bra size in India.

Why the Right Bra Size Matters

• Comfort: No digging straps, no slipping bands, no constant adjustments.
• Posture: The right bra supports your shoulders and back, reducing strain.
• Confidence: Clothes fit better, curves look natural, and you feel good inside out.
• Health: Wrong sizes can cause shoulder pain, skin marks, and even headaches.

Step 1: Know Your Band Size (Underbust Measurement)

Take a soft measuring tape and measure around your ribcage, directly under your bust.

• Keep the tape snug but not too tight.
• Write down the measurement in inches.

If your measurement is:

• 28–29 inches → Band size 32
• 30–31 inches → Band size 34
• 32–33 inches → Band size 36
• 34–35 inches → Band size 38

Step 2: Know Your Bust Size (Overbust Measurement)

Measure around the fullest part of your bust (nipples level) while keeping the tape straight. Stand naturally, and note down the number.

Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size

Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference gives your cup size:

• 1 inch → A cup
• 2 inches → B cup
• 3 inches → C cup
• 4 inches → D cup
• 5 inches → DD/E cup

Example: Underbust = 32 inches → Band Size 36; Bust = 37 inches → Difference 5 inches → 36DD

Step 4: Signs You’re Wearing the Wrong Size

• Straps digging in → Band too loose.
• Cup spillage → Cups too small.
• Underband riding up → Band too big.
• Gaping cups → Cups too large.
• Constant adjusting → Wrong fit!

Common Myths About Bra Sizing in India

• “Tight bras give better support.” – False. They cause discomfort and marks.
• “All brands have the same sizing.” – False. Always refer to size charts.
• “Bra size never changes.” – False. Weight, age, and hormones affect it.
