A 36 bra size is actually not considered small at all. In fact, a 36 band size is in the average to slightly larger range. A 36 band size indicates that the measurement around your ribcage (just under your bust) is approximately 36 inches. This means that for most people, a 36 band size would be quite comfortable and suitable for daily wear.
It’s important to remember that bra sizing is not just about the band measurement, but also about cup size. The cup size determines how much room there is for your breasts within the bra. So while a 36 band may seem large, it can actually correspond to different cup sizes, such as B, C or D cups.
One common misconception about bra sizing is that smaller band sizes are always “smaller” overall. However, this isn’t necessarily true – as mentioned earlier, the cup size plays a huge role in determining overall fit and support.
A lesser-known fact about bra sizing is that most people are wearing bras that don’t actually fit them properly. Studies have shown that up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size – so taking the time to get properly measured by a professional can make a huge difference in comfort and support.
I hope this helps you in finding your perfect fit. Remember – proper measurements and fit are key in feeling comfortable and confident in your lingerie choices.
