Buying bras is not as easy as buying your panties. Sometimes in my case I had bras which I can not use since I bought them. I used to buy bras by guessing only my right size until I read an article in a magazine that was about the exact measurement of what certain size would fit you. From then on I never had gone wrong like before. I also have teaches my two daughters about it. So I post this just in case you haven’t had the idea yet.
First measure your body size around the rib cage, directly under the bottom bra edge. If the measurement is an even number, add four inches which means when its 32 inches 36 should be the size: add five inches when its odd number, meaning if it’s 31 it should be 36.
To know what cup size would fit you: measure the fullest part of your bust, make sure that the tape is losing enough for a little movement around the breast area. The difference between this measurement and the body size (including the additional four or five inches) is equivalent to your cup size:
1) a. Equal or less than body size ( cup A)
1 i b. 1 inch larger than your body size ( cup B)
c. 2 inches larger than your body size ( cup C)
Following this simple fitting guide will probably ends the problem of buying the incorrect size of bras and you can enjoy your new bra as it was made personally just like me.

well…this reminds me of an occasion when a couple of guys and I had a lesson on female lingerie at a shop in phuket by 2 female colleagues. I must say, it was memorable. For us guys, shopping for that boxer or underwear is truly a breeze. If I do forget, I ask the salesperson to check the back of my jeans. lol.
