Measure to determine bra cup size

Eliminate bra odor by adding 1/2 cup white vinegar to the wash load along with your normal portion of delicate laundry detergent. White vinegar safely eliminates odor and kills bacteria without requiring you to use a harsh bleaching agent that will quickly deteriorate the overall quality and appearance of your bras. Bleach also has the tendency to break out sensitive skin.

Verify your back size. Have the cheap lingerie fit specialist measure you around the fullest part part of your bust. The tape measure should fit loosely around this part of your body. This measurement should equal your back size calculation. For example, if your ribcage measurement from step 1, equaled 33, the back size calculation you should have obtained is 33 + 5 = 38. The sum of 38 should equal the measurement obtained from the fullest part of your bust.

Measure to determine bra cup size. Have the bra fit specialist measure the fullest part of your bust with a loosely fitted tape measure. Subtract your back size from this number. For example, if the measurement from the fullest part of your bust is 38, subtract your back size, 33, which equals 5. The number resulting from the difference between the measurement of the fullest part of your bust and your back size will help you determine your proper cup size.

Consult a plus size bra cup size chart using the number obtained from the calculation in step 6. These charts are available at retail stores that provide fittings, or online.

For every woman, finding the perfect fitting bra is essential. If the bra is too large, it won’t have enough support or enhancement; if it is too small, it is not only unattractive but terribly uncomfortable. Believe it or not, many women are wearing the wrong bra size. Do a few simple measurements to make sure you buy the perfect bra.

Ladies undergarments are considered delicates because there isn't much material and they are often made of delicate materials such as satin, silk and lace. Even cotton bras and panties should be washed with special care, however, to prevent damage to the items.

Hand washing is the safest way to wash a lady's bra and panties, but you can machine wash them if necessary, as long as you take measures to minimize damage.
