Spanish users do not know how to choose correctly the size of their bras.

Only 3 out of 10 women know what to look for to choose this garment correctly.

To buy a bra and to hit with the size is not something that do all the women, in fact only 3 of 10 Spanish they take the size of adequate bra; The rest claim not to know how to calculate it. This data has been collected statistics online businesses such as Modaintimashop.com after having selected more than 500 users who have purchased bras through the online platform.

92% of Spanish women surveyed recognize that they do not know what to base and what to look for when buying a bra, and the report clarifies that this doubt is one of the most habitual visits to the plastic surgeon.

One of the reasons for this confusion is related to the disorder of the sizing. The huge and confusing supply of sizes in the market makes 37% of respondents buy the bra considering the size of the cup. However, another 63% refers only to the contour.

To wear a bra according to the chest, it is necessary to know both the size of the cup and the outline. This is very important because misusing bras can be detrimental in the long term for a woman's breast.

The correct size
According to the  Managing Director Concepcio Gili, of Modaintimashop.com, "it is very easy to calculate with exactitude the size". Just follow these two steps for the contour and the cup:

Contour: the contour should be measured with a flexible tape measure, below the chest. The result is calculated by adding this figure +15. This is the way to calculate the contour size according to the fashion patterns in Spain.

Cup: the contour of the chest should be measured in the most prominent area of ​​the chest. This figure will subtract the measure of the contour to calculate the cup size in Spain. With this information you only have to follow this rule: cup A (12 to 14 centimeters, small bust), cup B (14 to 16 centimeters, middle bust), cup C (16 to 18 centimeters, full bust), Cup D (18 to 20 centimeters, bulky bust) and the sequence continues for upper to G.

Good use of bra
1. The fastener must be adjusted without pressing. It should not create folds, or marks around the outline.

2. The back strap should not be above the line of the lower chest. This is a common mistake among women.

3. Shoulder straps should fall straight, uncompressed, or leave marks on shoulders.

4. The cups should not make bags fitting perfectly to the entire breast.

5. The hoop of the bra rests flat on the thorax without rising above the base of the chest.
