How do i know when im ready for a cupped bra size? I wear like those cami-cut off bra things now but everytime i wear a shirt i can see my nipples. Does this mean i should start wear cupped bras??
In which case, I would suggest you go shopping. To make it easier on you, you should measure your approximate bra size before you go, that way you'll have an idea of what to look for.
You need to take two measurments:
*Underbust Measurement*
-Measure under your bust:
=You need to add 4 inches if the measurement obtained is an even number of inches
=You need to add 5 inches if the measurement obtained is an odd number of inches.
Example: If your underbust measurement is 31, add 5 to get the bra size 36, or, if your underbust measurement is 30, add 4 to get the bra size 34
*Overbust Measurement*
-Measure around the fullest part of your bust to determine Cup size.
-If the bust measurement is:
The same as your bra size, your Cup size is A.
1 inch more gives Cup size B
2 inches more gives Cup size C
3 inches more gives Cup size D
4 inches more gives Cup size DD
5 inches more gives Cup size E
and so on through F, FF and G
Example: Underbust measurement of
29in. + 5in. = bra size 34....Overbust measurement of 34in. = Cup A

Unless you can find one that has a built in bra [like with actual cups], then I suggest you start bra shopping with your mom or a really close friend. Since you don't know you're size, try on a few different bra sizes & see what happens.
If your breast is hanging out the bra though when you bend down or even think about moving, that's a clue that it's too small & you need to go up a size or two. Good luck. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

thats kind of a personal opinion, if you like your nipples showing then get a thin bra, if you want extra padding and nipple protection, go cupped [ gtest413's advice column | Ask gtest413 A Question ]
