WHAT ARE SISTER SIZES FOR BRAS?
You may have heard the saying “boobs are sisters rather than twins” meaning that our boobs are rarely identical, but did you know that ‘the girls’ can have sister sizes, too?
Pretty cool right, but what does sister bra size mean exactly? In other words, sister bra sizes are all the equivalent bra sizes that will fit ‘one size’ of boobs.There are times when the bra size you regularly opt for doesn’t fit you. Ever wondered why you face this situation in spite of buying the bra size you’ve bought a million times before? Well, remember that several factors, such as the bra fabric, manufacturing variations, presence of underwires, cup shapes, and padding levels, might contribute to the way a bra fits you. This is where the concept of sister size comes into play.
Sister sizes can be useful when tweaking the fit of your bra and if you’re struggling to find the size that you need in a bra that you love.Sister sizes can be a savior when the bra in your actual size doesn’t fit properly.

Should I Definitely Opt for Sister Size Bras?
- Please remember that there are many reasons why a sizing bra doesn’t fit you. Note which attributes of your bra need to be corrected in order to achieve the right fit. This will help you get a bra that fits the way it should.
- It is also important to understand the physical changes in your body that may lead to a misfit. Puberty and pregnancy are stages when your normal bra would do no justice. So, trying sister sizes would be the ideal option here.
- Moreover, an ill-fitting bra can cause a lot of discomfort, neck and shoulder pain, and posture problems. So, it is better that you go for sister sizes rather than stick with the same uncomfortable bra.
- If you are still not satisfied with the sister sizing concept, we recommend you measure yourself again for the correct bra size before proceeding with the shopping.
