The tape should be level and very snug. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add four inches.

For teenagers, a B cup is an average size, and when it comes to adults, it is a smaller size.Generally, the A cup is considered the smallest available but for some this is still too big and compensating with a smaller band size won’t help.
