Well, the difference between a 36A and a 36B is quite significant. The cup size of a bra corresponds to the difference between your underbust measurement and your bust measurement. So, if you have a 36-inch underbust and a 37-inch bust, then you would wear a 36A. If you have a 36-inch underbust and a 38-inch bust, then you would wear a 36B. Therefore, the 36B is larger in cup size than the 36A.
It’s important to keep in mind that bra sizes can vary across different brands and styles, so it’s always best to get properly fitted by one of our experts here at the store. Our staff are trained in all aspects of bra fitting including taking accurate measurements, understanding breast shapes and tissue distribution as well as knowledge on specific brand sizing differences.
One common misconception is that women should only get measured for bras once or twice throughout their life when in reality we recommend being fitted every time there has been any change with weight fluctuation, pregnancy or even regular exercise which could affect your breast shape or size. Knowing this will help ensure you always have bras that fit comfortably and provide necessary support for everyday activities.
An interesting fact about bras is that more than half of women are wearing the wrong size without realizing it. This can lead to discomfort, pain and lack of proper support which can cause problems over time such as shoulder grooving from straps being too tight or backache from an incorrect band fit. I’d recommend getting professionally fitted regularly to avoid these issues altogether.
So now that you understand how bra sizes work better we’re ready for the next step which would be trying on different styles within your new updated sizes to see what fits best for you personally; everyone has different needs based off their individual body shapes so finding what works best for you may take some trial-and-error but don’t worry – we’re here to help guide you through.
| Bra Size | Band Size | Cup Size |
|---|---|---|
| 36A | 36 inches | A cup |
| 36B | 36 inches | B cup |
| Recommendation: If you have a 36-inch band size, 36B will provide more coverage and support compared to 36A. | ||
