PERFECT FIT TIPS

The letters ABCD in bra sizes refer to cup sizes, which indicate the volume of your breasts in relation to your ribcage. It's not about the actual size of your breasts, but the difference between your underbust (ribcage) measurement and your overbust measurement.

For example, if your underbust measurement is 86 centimeters (34 inches) and your overbust measurement is 96-98 centimeters (38-39 inches), the difference is 10-12 centimeters (approximately 4 inches). This typically corresponds to a cup size of A.

It's recommended to have your bra size checked every 6-12 months. Why? Your body changes over time! Weight fluctuations, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause can all impact your bust size, making regular fittings essential for a comfortable and supportive fit.

Don't worry if you don't have a flexible measuring tape handy! You can still determine your bra size at home. Simply grab a charger cord, a piece of string, or even some yarn. Wrap it around your bust and underbust, marking your measurements directly on the cord. Then, lay it flat and measure those marked sections with a ruler or a hard tape measure to find your bust and underbust measurements.

If you don't have any of these items, consider booking Triumph's Online Fitting Consultation for personalized guidance.

The best bra for you depends on your unique breast shape. Whether your bust is large or small, round or slender, there's a bra out there to provide the perfect fit and support. To learn more about finding the best bra for your breast shape, check out our article.

1. First, check your waist measurement, then your hip measurement.
2. Remember, a well-fitted brief should feel comfortable and secure without digging in or riding up.

Use the following steps to determine your panty size:

1. Take your measurements in inches or centimeters, rounding to the nearest whole number.

2. Once you have both your waist and hip measurements, refer to our Size Chart to determine your ideal brief size.

If your waist and hip measurements fall into different size categories:

• For maximum comfort, choose the larger size. For example, if your waist measurement is a size small and your hip measurement is a size medium, choose a size medium panty.
• For a snugger fit, opt for the smaller size.
  

Look out for digging seams, red marks on your skin, or a constant need to adjust. Bulging skin, a rolling waistband, or that dreaded wedgie feeling are also telltale signs you need a different size or style. Not sure where to start? Learn how to find the right size underwear for you.

Ideally, your underwear should feel like a second skin – snug but not constricting. The waistband should lie flat against your hips, the crotch should lay flat without bunching, and leg openings should be comfortably snug without digging. Your underwear should provide coverage without riding up or sagging.
