A C cup in bra size indicates that the bust measurement is 3 inches larger than the band size. For example, if your band size is 34 inches and your bust measures 37 inches, you would typically wear a C cup. It’s important to note that cup sizes are not static and can vary depending on the band size – for example, a 32C will have a smaller cup volume than a 36C.
Many people mistakenly believe that a C cup automatically means large breasts, but this isn’t necessarily true. Cup size is relative to band size, so someone who wears a 32C will have smaller breasts compared to someone who wears a 38C even though they both have the same lettered cup.
One lesser-known fact about bra sizing is that different brands may fit differently due to variations in design and materials used. It’s essential to try on bras from different brands and styles to find the best fit for your body shape. Understanding how various brands and styles fit can help you make more informed choices when shopping for bras.

Finding the right bra size can be challenging, but it’s worth it for comfort and support.
