ABCD cups in bra sizing represent different breast volumes, with each letter indicating an increase in cup size. Essentially, they are common sizes representing a range of breast volumes relative to the band size.
Understanding Bra Cup Sizes
Bra cup sizes, denoted by letters like A, B, C, and D, indicate the volume of the bra cup and are relative to the band size. The difference between your bust measurement and your band measurement determines your cup size.
- A Cup: The smallest of the standard sizes, indicating a smaller breast volume relative to the band size.
- B Cup: Slightly larger than an A cup, representing a moderate breast volume.
- C Cup: Larger than a B cup, indicating a more substantial breast volume.
- D Cup: Larger than a C cup, representing a significant breast volume.
Importance of Proper Bra Fitting
It's crucial to get properly fitted for a bra because wearing the wrong size can lead to discomfort, poor support, and even health issues. A well-fitting bra can improve posture and overall comfort.
Beyond D Cups
Cup sizes continue to increase beyond D, with sizes like DD (or E in some systems), DDD (or F), and so on, representing progressively larger breast volumes. The exact sizing can vary slightly between different bra manufacturers.
Key Takeaways
- ABCD cup sizes are standard bra cup sizes representing increasing breast volume relative to the band size.
- Proper bra fitting is essential for comfort and support.
- Cup sizes beyond D exist for larger breast volumes.
