How to choose your small size bra?

When buying lingerie, we often hesitate between several sizes depending on the models or brands... However, so that a bra does not hurt us and is comfortable all day long, it is essential to select the right size. Let's share our tips to make buying lingerie as easy as possible!

Determine your underbust size

First of all, we need to determine our underbust measurement to choose the right bra size. Here, we just need to place the sewing tape measure just below our chest and note the number of centimeters we find by going around it.

I n the current sizing system, the volume of a cup of the same size can change depending on the underbust circumference. For example, an 80B bra can be completely different from a 95B in terms of the cup. However, we can very well have a smaller or larger cup size but have the same cup volume . This is why, when creating our lingerie brand, Double A Paris, we wanted the volume of an AA, A or B cup to always be the same regardless of the bust circumference.

Know your cup size

We also need to determine our cup size. By placing a sewing tape measure around our chest at the nipples, we obtain a certain number of centimeters. This will then tell us which cup size corresponds to us.

Very often, when we have a small chest , it is difficult for us to find the right cup for our small size. Indeed, the size system has always been the same for over a century, we end up with bras that are too big, even when taking the smallest size available, i.e. cup A. It is therefore important to take your measurements and refer to our size guide . Since cup A has always been the smallest bra size available, we tend to believe that this is indeed our size. Finally, we can realize that we are rather AA , i.e. a cup smaller than A. After taking these two measurements (underbust circumference and cup), we can then know the perfect bra size. So it's your turn to play by referring to our size guide .

We hope this article has helped you find the size that will enhance your small chest. You can also find our article on AA cups . And don't hesitate to join us on Instagram for more advice!
