Which way is the proper way to measure boobs? (females only)

2 Comments

Add 4 to underbust if even number and 5 if odd number to find band size.Then, measure fullest part of bust. Subtract bust from band size to get cup size

or

Measure the underbust and round up to the nearest even number to get band size. Then, measure fullest part of bust. Subtract bust from band to get cup size.

Which is the proper method? (Pick whichever way you believe is true or the way you measure)

Adding 4in or 5in to underbust is correct 1
NOT adding 4in to 5in to underbust is correct 2

    I don't care if you said Females only, it's the modern age, I won't be oppressed because of my gender, you can't control me!

    *ahem*

    I quote: "Using a soft tape-measure, firstly measure around your chest under your bust, at the level where the lowest part of your bra should sit. Try not to let the tape slip down at the back; it needs to be level all the way along. Take this measurement (in inches): if it is even, add four, if it is odd, add five. The resulting number is your band size.

    Next, measure around the fullest part of your breasts; don't squish them unless you want your bra to squish them too2. This measurement in inches is your bust size.

    To obtain your cup size, subtract your band size from your bust size. If the two are the same, you are an A cup. If your bust size is one inch larger than your band size, you are a B cup, two inches larger and you are a C cup. This continues through the alphabet, though not in a strictly linear fashion, due to the presence of cup sizes such as DD."

    The internet tells me option 2.
