A bra is something almost every woman wears regularly, but there’s still a lot of confusion about bra sizes and what they really mean. For example, some women with smaller breasts wonder if a 32aa bra is smaller than a 32a bra. Understanding the difference between the two can help you choose the right size for you. Plus, understanding what the numbers and letters mean can also help you be informed when choosing a bra size and will take a lot of the confusion out of the problem.

When looking at any bra, you’ll notice a particular pattern in size that will always exist. The bra size will be a number followed by a letter or series of letters (aa). Although there is very little difference between some of the bra sizes that are available, there will still be a difference and it can make you feel more or less comfortable depending on which one you choose. It’s also important to understand that while there are some standards when it comes to bra sizes, each manufacturer may measure bra sizes differently, at least to some degree. With that being said, here is the standard for bra sizing.

The number that is on the bra size is actually the band size. To measure this correctly, you should not measure around the breasts, but below them. By measuring around the torso under the breasts, you can get an accurate idea of ​​the size of the band that will be needed. You will need to round that number up. If you get an even number, add 4 inches. If you have an odd number, add 5 inches.

Next you need to measure your bust size. Using the same tape measure, measure around your torso but this time, measure across the nipples. You will need that measurement and the band size measurement to get your cup size. To do this, you will take the difference between the band size and the bust size. That will give you the number needed to determine your cup size. You can look at a chart online to determine the letter of the cup once you have calculated the cup size.

There are many different letters that measure cup size. They range from AA, which is the smallest at less than 1 inch, to O, which is 15 inches. So, going back to the original question, when determining if there is a difference between 32aa and 32a, there is in fact a difference. Although the band size is the same, the 32aa bra is for a cup size of less than 1 inch. The 32a bra, on the other hand, is for a 1-inch cup size. It’s not a huge difference in size, but it will make a difference in the way you feel when you wear it.
