THE PERFECT FIT

Choosing the right bra size is crucial for a good fit and comfortable feel.
Learn how to measure correctly to determine your size.

HOW TO MEASURE CORRECTLY

UNDERBUST MEASUREMENT

Place the tape measure around your body beneath the breast and breathe normally. The underbust measurement will tell you your band size.

OVERBUST MEASUREMENT

Measure your circumference at the fullest part of your bust with your arms down and relaxed. It’s best to wear a non-padded bra while taking this measurement. The overbust measurement will tell you your cup size.

"Many things in life are relative: Did you know that 80A/36A and 75B/34B is the same cup size?”

CUP - SIZES

Jede Farbe entspricht einer Cup-Größe. HANRO führt insgesamt 8 Cup-Größen im Sortiment. Die Größe 80A hat die gleiche Cup-Größe wie 75B und 70C. Lediglich der Unterbrustumfang ändert sich dabei. Insgesamt bietet HANRO 20 BH-Größen an.

Each color represents a cup size. HANRO offers a total of eight cup sizes. Size 80A/36A has the same cup size as 75B/34B and 70C/32C. Only the underbust circumference changes. HANRO offers a total of 20 bra sizes.

THE PERFECT FIT

In order to tell whether a bra suits you, bra expert Frauke Nagel has some useful tips. “Take your time and keep the bra you are trying on for a few minutes. Move your arms, sit down, and stand up again. Like shoes, bras need to be broken in and will become more comfortable over time. But if it pinches or tugs right away, you should try a different size or style.”

BACK

The back section should sit in a straight line along the ribcage. If the back rides up, try a smaller underbust size. If you don’t want to change your cup size, go up a letter, for instance, 80B/36B has the same cup size as 75C/34C and 70D/32D.

STRAPS

Check the straps. They should lie firmly on your shoulders without digging into the skin. If they leave pressure marks, you should extend the strap length. Did you know? The cups are held in place by the underbust band and back, and not the straps.

CUPS/UNDERWIRE

If the cups are nice and flat against your breasts, the bra fits perfectly. However, if you notice that the seam is digging in, the cup is too small. If the seam creases or there is a gap between the cup and the breast, the bra is probably too large. The wire should frame the breasts and lie flat against the chest. Make sure that the wire does not press against the soft breast tissue.
