How to measure your bra size

It is important that you measure your chest complete with your prosthesis to ensure you get the correct bra size. You need your bra to fit you snugly and to be strong enough to hold your prosthesis in place through the evening.

So to start with temporarily affix your prosthesis to your chest,
(preferably in the right position around the front).

The industry has designated the sizes of bra's as follows:-

So Let's Measure:-

Firstly measure your rib cage underneath the prosthesis,
(call this measurement a).

If measurement (a) is even number then add 4",
if it is odd number then add 5".

For example: If the measurement (a) is 39"
-  then add 5" and your bra size is a 44".

If measurement (a) is 42"
-  then add 4" and your bra size is a 46".

Use the table below to determine your bra size.

The difference between the bra measurement
and the cup measurement identifies the cup size.

Temporarily attach your prosthesis to your chest.
Measure over the fullest part of the prosthesis.
Subtract the bra size you calculated in the previous paragraph.

Your chest measurement was 38", an even number so you added 4" and that gave you a bra size of 42".
The measurement around you and your prosthesis was 46".
So take the first measurement from the second measurement 46" minus 42", this leaves a difference of 4. So from the table below we see we need a bra with a DD cup.
The bra we need to buy is a 42DD - simple!
