Step-by-step infographic to find your accurate Portuguese bra size
  1. Measure Your Underbust (Medida sob o peito):
    Wear a non-padded bra or no bra at all. Breathe out gently. Place the tape right under your breasts where the band will sit. Write down this number in cm. This is your Portuguese/European band size.
  2. Measure Your Bust (Medida do peito):
    Wrap the tape loosely over the fullest part of your bust. Do not pull tight. Write this number in cm.
  3. Put Numbers in Calculator:
    Enter both numbers into the Portuguese Bra Size Calculator above.
  4. Find Your Size:
    Click the calculate button and let the tool suggest your size. If you fall between sizes, our Sister Size Finder shows great alternatives.

Tip: Stand in front of a mirror for accuracy. If you feel uncomfortable measuring alone, ask a friend for help or use our Teen Bra Size Calculator for age-appropriate advice.

How Portuguese Bra Sizes Work

Portuguese bra sizing uses the European (EU) system, labeled as EU or INT in stores.

  • Band Size: The number (like 65, 70, 75, 80) comes from your underbust in cm, rounded to the nearest 5 cm.
  • Cup Size: The letter (A, B, C, D, E, F) depends on the difference between bust and underbust. The bigger the difference, the larger the cup.

What is Your Portuguese Bra Size Means

Your new Portuguese bra size, like 75C, may not match the number or letter on bras from the US or UK. The difference comes from using centimeters instead of inches. If you need a fresh start or want to check sizing for teens, our Teen Bra Size Calculator can help.

If you feel caught between two sizes, the Sister Size Finder shows how to switch band and cup for a better fit.

Fixing Common Portuguese Bra Size Fit Problems

The right size prevents discomfort.
If you notice the band riding up, try a smaller band and a bigger cup (for example, move from 80B to 75C). If you need gentle support after surgery, visit our Post-Surgery Bra Finder.

  • If straps dig in, check your band first.
  • If you spill out, you need a bigger cup.
  • If the cup gaps, try a smaller cup or new style.
  • If wires poke, the style or size is likely wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, generally. Portugal, Spain, and France all use the standard European sizing system (cm band, cm difference for cups).

No. While both speak Portuguese, Brazil uses a different sizing system (often P/M/G or band numbers like 40, 42, 44).

Because Portugal/EU uses centimeters for the underbust measurement (65, 70, 75…), while US/UK uses inches (30, 32, 34…).

Up to size D, they are usually very similar. After D, the letter progression might differ (e.g., EU E = US DD, EU F = US DDD/E).

You usually round to the nearest 5cm mark. So, 73cm would typically use a 75 band. If that feels too loose, you could try a 70 band but go up one cup size (sister size).

Measure the underbust band part snugly. Measure the bust part gently over the fullest point.

Measuring every 6-12 months is good, as our bodies can change.

In Portugal, across Europe, and from many international online retailers that offer EU sizing options.
