The letters &#8211; like A, B, C, D &#8211; stand for cup sizes. The numbers &#8211; like 32, 34, 36, 38 they tell you the band size \u2013 that&#8217;s the part of the <strong>bra<\/strong> that goes around your torso. For instance, a 34A means that your boobs are an A cup and that your bra is 34 inches around.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, which is bigger cup A or B? STEP 3: FIND YOUR CUP SIZE If there&#8217;s a 1-inch difference between bust and band you&#8217;re an A <strong>cup<\/strong>; 2-inch difference is a B cup, 3 inches is a C cup, 4 inches is a D <strong>cup<\/strong>, and so on. For example, if your bust measurement is 37 inches and your band is 33 inches, you would be a D <strong>cup<\/strong> because of the 4-inch difference.<\/p>\n<p>Also the question is, why is a bra called a cup? it&#8217;s the <strong>cup<\/strong> of the <strong>bra<\/strong>, because it &#8216;cups&#8217; the breast. the size of the cup is basically how much room you need in it so it can cup the breast.<\/p>\n<p>Also, how do I know my <strong>cup<\/strong> size? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Measure your band. Wear a lightly lined (non-push-up) bra so your breasts are as close to natural as possible.  <\/li>\n<li>Now measure your bust. Place the tape at the fullest part of your bust.  <\/li>\n<li>Subtract the band size from your bust size to find the right <strong>cup<\/strong> size. Every inch equals one cup size up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p> In regards to, is an A cup small? Generally, the A cup is considered the smallest available but for some this is still too big and compensating with a smaller band size won&#8217;t help. If you want something that&#8217;s going to fit your form you&#8217;ll have to go down a level to an AA or even AAA cup.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy

If the difference is a 1 your cup size is an A, 2 a B, 3 a C, etc. This helpful chart will help you perfect the skill of calculating your cup size. Now you should have a letter and a number to use as your bra size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_cup_size_B\"><\/span>What is cup size B?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your cup size is the difference between your chest size and your bust line measurement. For example: Your bust line measurement at the fullest part of your bust is 34\u2033 and your chest size is 32\u2033. 34\u2033 \u2013 32\u2033 = 2\u2033. The difference is 2\u2033, which means your cup size is a B cup.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_biggest_bra_size\"><\/span>What&#8217;s the biggest bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Annie Hawkins-Turner has the largest natural breasts in the world.

Professional bra fitters have also noticed this evolution in bra size labeling. A 34 band size may now measure a few inches larger than it did years ago, while cup size has decreased, causing women to need a larger cup size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_size_is_34B_bra\"><\/span>What size is 34B bra?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>A bra size that&#8217;s 34B has an underbust size between 30-31 inches and a bust size between 35-36 inches. A &#8216;B&#8217; cup is likely to be seen as small since it&#8217;s only an inch larger than an A cup. For teenagers, a B cup is an average size, and when it comes to adults, it is a smaller size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_38_bra_size\"><\/span>What is a 38 bra size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>For example, a 38C means a chest measurement of 38 inches and a breast measurement of 41 inches. The difference between the two measurements is 3 inches which is a C cup. A 38D would be a chest measurement of 38 inches and a breast measurement of 42 inches.

These measurements are usually determined by using a tape measure around your rib cage and bust. The number\/letter is your bra size.
