CupGrößen

CupGrößen, often translated as "cup sizes," refers to a system used to measure and categorize the volume of a bra cup. This system is crucial for determining the correct bra fit and is widely used in the lingerie industry. The most common cup sizing system utilizes letters, such as A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, and so on, to denote different cup volumes. These letters are typically paired with a band size, indicated by a number (e.g., 34B), which represents the measurement around the ribcage.

The progression of cup sizes generally follows an alphabetical order, with each letter representing an increase in volume, typically by an inch or a specific proportion of the breast's circumference relative to the band size. For example, a C cup is larger than a B cup, and a D cup is larger than a C cup. However, the exact volume increase can vary slightly between brands and sizing systems. Many women find that their cup size can change due to factors such as weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, or pregnancy.

It is important to note that cup sizing is not a universal standard and can differ internationally. Different countries may have their own variations in numbering and lettering systems, leading to potential confusion when purchasing bras across borders. Accurate bra fitting involves not only determining the correct cup size but also ensuring the band fits snugly and comfortably, and that the bra provides adequate support. Consulting a professional bra fitter can be beneficial for individuals who are unsure about their correct size or are experiencing fit issues.
