You've Probably Been Wearing The Wrong Bra Size All Your Life—Here's How To Get The Right One

I'm hyper-aware that a lot of us are neglecting the bras we once wore every day when we went to work five days a week. Those who are lucky enough to work from home are either into bralettes or have completely set their boobs free. Nevertheless, the truth bomb I'm about to drop will forever be relevant: Knowing your right bra size will change your life.

It's unfortunate that most women have been wearing the wrong bra size for years. It's just one of those things that we really don't think about, but it's a constant element in our lives. We just assume that underwires digging in our rib cages is normal. We settle because we're busy worrying about bigger issues. But, believe me. getting the right fit is ~everything~.

Below, find out the life-changing reasons to get a size update and how to correctly measure your boobs at home.

How to Get Your Correct Bra Size

This video teaches you how to get your right bra size. Basically, you need to measure the band size at the underbust and the cup size at the fullest part of your chest. You must take down these measurements while standing up, lying down, and bending over. Then, you have to plug in the deets in this bra size calculator to see size recommendations. This method is a 3D measurement approach that ensures accurate sizing.

(Ed's note: Just to be sure, fit the bras before buying just to assess if they're really a good fit. All boobs are unique, so you should get one that really suits YOU.)
