How can I tell what cup size I am?
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!

it really depends where you get your bras. Victorias Secrets bras run small... I'm a D there but a C in a lot of other brands. It also depends whether you get a push-up or not. They add cup sizes to your actual size. Ex. my roommate was an A but a B in VS push-up bras. You can get a tape measure and measure yourself. First measure around right under your breasts to around your back. If you are a 36, you should get a 36 measurement. You dont want the tape measure to be too tight though when you measure. Next, measure your bust (the center of your breasts going around to your back). It goes up by numbers from the first number you got. So if you got a 36 for the first measurement and a 40 for the second, you would be a D cup. If you got 36 for the first and around 39 for the second you would be a C. You may be in between sizes like me though meaning it depends on the bra you are wearing, in that case it depends on your bra. I work at a department store in a lingerie department so I have to measure womens bra sizes all the time. Hope I was some help to you. Good luck.

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.
