The bra size 36A indicates that the band size is 36 inches and the cup size is A. The band size, which is the measurement around your torso just below your bust, determines the width of the bra strap and provides support. The cup size, on the other hand, determines how much room there is in the cups for breast tissue. So, a 36A bra would be suitable for someone with a torso measurement of approximately 36 inches and a smaller cup size.
It’s important to note that finding the right bra size involves taking accurate measurements of both your band and bust sizes. To find out if a 36A is indeed your correct bra size, I recommend measuring your band by wrapping a tape measure snugly around your torso just under your bust, and then measuring around the fullest part of your bust without wearing a padded or push-up bra. It’s crucial to use these measurements as starting points for determining if you need to go up or down in band or cup sizes.
One common misconception about bra sizing is that all bras labeled with same letter will have exactly same volume; however this isn’t true because it doesn’t consider different shapes within each letters’ cups since not all “A” cups are created equal due to differences in their design such as full-coverage vs demi-cup styles among others.
It might surprise you to know that some women mistakenly believe that having small breasts means they don’t need to wear a properly fitted bra – but nothing could be further from truth. Regardless of breast size – everyone can benefit from proper support provided by wearing correctly-sized bras. Knowing this helps everyone understand that regardless what they’ve heard about ‘not needing proper fitting for smaller chests’, getting one may help prevent long term problems related to posture & provide better overall comfort.
I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any further questions or need assistance in finding the perfect fit for you do not hesitate ask!
