A 36 bra typically corresponds to a C cup size. The number in the bra size (36) refers to the measurement around your ribcage, just below your breasts. This is known as the band size. The letter (C) represents the cup size, which indicates the difference between this ribcage measurement and your bust measurement.
Many people mistakenly believe that a 36 bra always means a particular cup size, such as B or D. However, this is not accurate as every person’s body shape and proportions are unique, and can vary greatly. It’s important to keep in mind that cup sizes do not remain constant across different band sizes – for instance, a C cup in a 32 band will be smaller than a C cup in a 38 band.
An interesting fact about bras is that most individuals wear an incorrect size without even realizing it. Knowing how to properly measure yourself for the right bra size can make all the difference in terms of comfort and support. I recommend getting professionally measured or using our online fitting guide to ensure you find the perfect fit for your body type.
Remember, finding the right bra should never be “uplifting” experience – pun intended.
