How to determine the size of underwear

The sizes of underwear are of primary importance at its purchase. However, for a considerable number of women and men, these letters and numbers indicated on the labels are a meaningless combination of symbols. We will help you not to get lost in the dimensional grid.

The sizes of the bottom female linen

We will descend from above downwards on a female body, therefore we shall begin with a brassiere. If the seller in the store offers to pick you this part of the toilet without fitting, then this is not a sign of his excellent eye, but, rather, unprofessional. The option "by eye" is absolutely not suitable when it comes to buying a bra. The dimensions of the underwear should be determined correctly.

How can one not make a mistake in the amount? First of all, look at the label. You will see there a combination of letters and numbers, nap Example, 80C. Now try to solve this puzzle.

The letter of the Latin alphabet is the code name for the size of the cup. The number in front means the girth under the chest, measured in centimeters. To define it simply: take a centimeter and measure the volume of the chest under the chest on exhalation. Make sure that the centimeter tape is flat. The value that you get will be the first part of your size.

The next step is to measure the volume of the chest along the most protruding part (usually at the level of the nipple). Further, thanks to simple calculations, we determine the difference in the girth of the chest and under the breast. Based on the result, select the appropriate cup size. For your convenience, you can also use the following table.

This method is generally accepted, but its accuracy should not be counted. Bra fitting should be a mandatory item of the program of his choice. The size of underwear affects not only the comfort of wearing, but also your health. A small size can lead to squeezing the gland, soreness in the chest and even the development of mastopathy. Large calyxes are not able to properly support the breast, because of what it risks losing its shape early.

Also bras can be produced in parallel sizes. The fact is that the cups in the bra size 75B and 70C are the same, despite the different letters. Manufacturers deliberately increase the volume of the cup, depending on the girth under the breast. If you do not fit a bra, try to try it on in a parallel size.

Now let's stop on the choice of panties. We again need a centimeter. We measure the waist volume, doing this by the narrowest area. The volume of the hips is measured, on the contrary, in the widest area. Place the tape parallel to the floor and do not overtighten it. For teenage girls with a waistline of 52 centimeters and a hip circumference of 82 cm, panties of size XXS (its Russian counterpart - 42 size) will suit. When we increase the volume by 5 centimeters, we get a new size.
