C Cup Bras

What is a C Cup Bra?

Cup size, the letter portion of your bra measurement, indicates the difference between your bust and band measurements. For a C cup specifically, this means your bust measures 3 inches larger than your underbust or band measurement.

Many of us become attached to identifying with a specific cup size, but the truth is that your cup size depends equally on your band measurement as it does your bust. This means your cup size naturally shifts as your body changes, whether during monthly cycles or throughout different life stages. It's also worth noting that you might wear different cup sizes depending on the brand, since sizing standards can differ between manufacturers.

How should a C Cup Bra fit?

A C cup fits correctly if your breast tissue completely and comfortably fills the bra cup without spilling over, cutting in, or gapping. If the cup is too small, your tissue will spill out the top and/or sides of the cup. You may also notice red marks. If the cup is too big, you'll likely experience gaps inside the cups where your tissue isn't quite filling out the space.
