How to Use This Calculator

Using our Playtex Bra Size Calculator is simple. Follow these steps to get your recommended size:

Important Notes

For best results, measure when you're not wearing a bra or other clothing that could affect the measurements. Always refer to the size chart provided by Playtex for final confirmation.

How Bra Sizing Works

Bra sizing typically consists of two numbers: the band size and the cup size. The band size is the measurement around your ribcage, while the cup size indicates the volume of your bust.

Playtex uses a specific sizing system that may differ slightly from other brands. Our calculator accounts for these differences to provide the most accurate recommendation.

Bra Size Formula

The general formula for determining bra size is:

Band Size = Bust Measurement - 8 inches

Cup Size = (Bust Measurement - Band Size) / 2

These values are then matched to the Playtex size chart to find the closest equivalent.

Understanding Measurements

Accurate measurements are crucial for finding the right bra size. Here's what you need to know:

Bust Measurement

This is the fullest part of your bust when your arms are relaxed at your sides. It's important to measure this while wearing a supportive bra to get the most accurate reading.

Underbust Measurement

This measurement is taken at the narrowest part of your torso, just below your bust. It helps determine the proper band size for your bra.

Measurement	Description	Typical Range
Bust	Fullest part of your bust	32-44 inches
Underbust	Narrowest part of your torso	24-36 inches

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many people make these common mistakes when trying to find their bra size:

Measuring while wearing a tight-fitting top that alters the shape of the bust
Not measuring the fullest part of the bust
Ignoring the underbust measurement
Assuming one brand's size will fit another brand

Pro Tip

Always measure with your shoulders relaxed and arms at your sides. This ensures the most accurate measurements for your bra size.
