How to Measure for Your Brazilian Bra Size
Getting your Brazilian bra size is simple with a tape measure and using centimeters (cm)! Measuring yourself correctly is important for all clothes, as guides like this one from Angela Friedman explain.
- Measure Your Underbust (Sob o busto / Tórax): Wear a bra that isn’t padded, or no bra. Breathe out normally. Wrap the tape measure snugly around your body, right under your breasts where the bra band usually sits. Keep the tape level and flat against your skin.
Write down this number in cm. This helps find your Brazilian band size number (like 40, 42, 44). - Measure Your Bust (Busto): Keep the tape level and wrap it around the fullest part of your breasts. Don’t pull the tape too tight – let it rest gently on your skin.
Write down this number in cm too. - Put Numbers in Calculator: Type your underbust number (sob o busto) and your bust number (busto) in cm into the calculadora de tamanho de sutiã above.
- Find Your Size: Click the button! The calculator will suggest your Brazilian bra size (Tamanhos de sutiã brasileiros).
Easy Tip: Use a mirror to make sure the tape measure stays straight across your back. Asking someone you trust for help can also make getting your bra size in cm easier!
How Brazilian Bra Size Work
Brazilian bra sizing often uses letters like P (Small), M (Medium), G (Large), and GG (Extra Large). These letters usually correspond to number sizes (like 40, 42, 44, 46) which relate to your underbust measurement in cm.
- Band Size: The number (40, 42, 44, 46, etc.) is based on your underbust measurement (sob o busto) in cm. Each size covers a range of a few centimeters.
- Size 40 (P/S): ~68-72 cm underbust
- Size 42 (M): ~73-77 cm underbust
- Size 44 (G/L): ~78-82 cm underbust
- Size 46 (GG/XL): ~83-87 cm underbust
(These are common ranges, check brand charts too!)
- Cup Size: Sometimes, Brazilian bras just use the P/M/G/GG size which includes a standard cup for that band size. Other times, they might add a cup letter (A, B, C, D) like the international system, based on the difference between your bust (busto) and underbust (sob o busto) in cm.
- ~10-12 cm difference = A cup
- ~13-14 cm difference = B cup
- ~15-17 cm difference = C cup
- ~18-19 cm difference = D cup
(Cup sizing can vary a lot by brand in Brazil! Always check the specific tamanho de sutiã info.)
Lingerie brasileira is known for being beautiful and sometimes having unique cuts or less coverage than bras from other places.
What Your Brazilian Bra Size Means
Your calculated Brazilian bra size (like M/42 or 44C) might look very different from your US or UK size. This is normal! Brazil uses its own system with different numbers and sometimes letters. You can compare sizes using our US Bra Size Calculator or UK Bra size Calculator.
Bodies change, so measuring again every year is a good plan. If you feel between sizes, check the brand’s specific chart. Sometimes sister size can work. If a 42 band feels loose, maybe try a 40 band but look for a style known to have more cup room. If a 42 feels tight, try a 44 band with a style known for smaller cups. Our Sister Size Finder explains sister sizing more.
When to Recheck Your Brazilian Bra Size
Your body can change with time, so it is a good idea to check your Brazilian bra size at least once a year or after any major life change. If you gain or lose weight, become pregnant, or notice your bras are uncomfortable, measure again to be sure you are wearing the correct Brazilian bra size.
Fixing Common Bra Fit Problems
Getting the right tamanho de sutiã brasileiro helps fix those annoying bra problems!
- Band Rides Up? The band number (like 42 or 44) is probably too big. Try a smaller number size.
- Straps Digging In? Make sure the band fits snugly first. If straps still hurt, the bra style might not be right for you.
- Spilling Out? You need more room in the cup. Look for a larger letter size (P, M, G, GG) or a specific cup letter (B, C, D) if available.
- Gaps in Cups? The cup part might be too big or the wrong shape. Try a smaller size letter or a different style.
- Wire Poking? The underwire should sit flat and comfortably around your breasts. If it pokes, the size or shape is off.
Changing US/UK Size to Brazilian
