I'm 16 and of course I know my size, but i was talking to my friend the other day, and he asked me what size I was. (no, he's not a creep like that, he has a gf and I have a bf, he is like a brother so I talk to him about everything) And when I said a 36C, he was surprised I wasn't a D, because his gf is a D and i seemed her size. I was just wondering, besides trying them on at a store to see what fits better, it there a way I can tell what cup size I am at home?

Thanks!

This site has a bra size calculator where you can enter your measurements and it will tell you what size you are.

For accuracy, it is best to have someone help you with the measurements.

Some shops also offer measuring services. (A well-known and often cited one would be Victoria's Secret.)

Note that there are various statistics that say lots of women wear the wrong bra size, with the most common error being that of a band size that is too large.

For example, the cup of 36C bra would be about the same size as that of a 34D, but the 36C would have a longer band. (Of course, exact sizes depend on the type of bra, and they also differ between manufacturers.)

Of course, the most important thing is that your bras fit properly. Sizes are only a way of labelling.

EDIT: If you get measured in a shop, you keep your top on. Wear something that's fitted and not too loose or bulky for more accurate measurements.
