How to Get the Best Bra Fit

Even for those of us born into female bodies, finding the right bra for our bodies can be tricky.

Sadly, none of us come with a users manual, and we most definitely don’t come with instructions for the gender specific clothes that our opposites typically wear. Just as I wouldn’t expect a woman to immediately know how to fit a jock strap on the first try, I don’t expect my sweet sissies and crossdressers to know how to find the perfect bra right out the gate. That’s why I’m going to tell you exactly how to get your bra to fit correctly!

Here’s what you need to find your perfect bra size:

• A tape measure; not the metal sort that you use for carpentry projects, but one for measuring bodies. Usually made of cloth with a latex coating, the common units of measurement are inches in the US and cm elsewhere. (If you don’t have a tape measure, you can use a length of string or cord and a yard stick or metal measuring tape. Use the string, then measure the string on the yard stick.)
• Basic arithmetic skills and a size chart.

And the procedure for finding your bra size:

• Measure around your upper chest, under your arms and above the bust. This is your band size.
• Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
• Subtract your band size from the bust size.
• Look up your cup size based on the difference between the band and bust.

Lastly, the chart of cup sizes!

 

 

 

 

 

Now you’ve got the right size, it’s time to put your bra on.

And this is one step that a lot of folks get completely wrong. You do not pull the clasp around to the front of your body, hook it, then twist it around and put your arms through the straps. You’ll stretch the bra doing that. Put your arms through the straps first, then clasp the bra behind your back.

On a new bra, you should use the third set of hooks, the ones furthest out. The reason for this is: over time, your bra will stretch. As it stretches, use each successive set of hook inward, shortening the bra. Start on the furthest set to get the most wear from your bra. If it loosens over time, use the hooks to tighten the bra back to its original fit.

Once you’ve got the bra on, adjust your tits. Reach into each cup, lift and place your breast into the cup. You should not have any breast showing under the band of the bra, your cups should not cut into your breast or gape away from your chest. You can use the shoulder strap adjustment to help with cup gape.

All right ladies! This is all you need to know!

Now you’re all set. Go forth and enjoy your newly fitted bras!
