Fit Guide
Your body is changing. Your bra size size is too. We're here to help!
Bras
8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size. To help you get the perfect fit, we recommend taking your measurements and checking each product’s size chart.
Step One
If you're nursing, measure while your breasts are full. Wear an unpadded, non-compressive bra. Measure directly under your breasts (snug, but not tight). Keep the measuring tape level. Round to the nearest even number. This is your band size, the number part of your bra size.
Step Two
Measure around the fullest part of your breasts while keeping the measuring tape level. This number is your bust size, which you'll use to calculate your cup size.
Step Three
Subtract your band size from your bust size to find your cup size, the letter part of your bra size. Each inch of difference is one letter, so a 6-inch difference would be an F cup (F is the sixth letter in the alphabet). For more detailed guidance, check out the video above!
What is Busty?
All of our bras come in Busty sizes, which are designed specifically for DD/E cups and above. They feature:
- Expanded fabric in the cups
- Slightly wider straps for comfort
- Reinforced chest band and/or tighter knit fabric for additional support
You may also like Busty sizes if you prefer a little extra space in your bra cups or need some more room for engorged breasts.

Bra Fitting FAQs
when should I measure?
Pregnant Moms
By around 35-36 weeks, the most significant physical changes of your pregnancy have likely occurred, and it’s a good time to buy bras that you can later nurse in.
Nursing Moms
The best time to measure yourself for a nursing bra is midday. It’s important that your breasts are full, so always measure before breastfeeding.
Should I size up?
If you’re in between sizes, you may want to size up in certain bras. Note that every bra with a hook-and-eye closure comes with a free bra extender. For more personalized fit assistance, please contact our Customer Care Team.
Is it too small?
If a bra is difficult to get on, squeezes your breasts, or is uncomfortable in any way, you shouldn’t be wearing it.
You bra is too small if:
• Your breasts spill out of the sides.
• You can't fit two fingers under the band.
• The center rides up and doesn’t lay flat.
Is it too big?
A well-fitted bra does not bunch or slip whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down.
You know your bra is too big if:
• Your breasts slip out of the bottom of the band.
• The band rides up in back.
• The cups wrinkle.
• The straps slip off your shoulders.
For Underwear
For the best fit, measure around the fullest part of your hips. If you’re pregnant, the fullest part of your hips may include some of your baby bump. Then, follow each product's individual size chart.
For Clothing
If you’re shopping for clothes to wear in your last trimester, we occasionally recommend sizing up. Check out each product’s size chart for more information. If we don’t recommend sizing up, order your normal size based on the size chart.
