My Boob Site

A supplemental note regarding MyBoobSite’s “F-cup & Up” cup-size standards of measure

MyBoobSite adheres to the European EN 13402 Standard with respect to a model’s cup-size (with band-size being a matter of indifference to me, as I seek to include busty women of all shapes and sizes herein). While many big tits porn websites are guilty of overestimating their girls’ cup-sizes because of the obvious promotional value to big breast lovers, I’ve also encountered a fair few who underestimate bra-sizes as well based upon our standards! So I thought it appropriate to include a supplemental post for reference purposes detailing MyBoobSite’s adopted standard system of cup-size measurement:

EN 13402:

The European dress-size standard EN 13402 defines bra sizes based on the following two body dimensions (measured in centimeters):

bust girth

maximum horizontal girth measured during normal breathing with the subject standing erect and the tape-measure passed horizontally, under the armpits (axillae), and across the bust prominence (preferably measured with moderate tension over a brassiere that shall not deform the breast in an unnatural way and shall not displace its volume)

underbust girth

horizontal girth of the body measured just below the breasts

Bras are labeled with the underbust girth (rounded to the nearest multiple of 5cm), followed by a letter code that indicates the

cup size = bust girth − underbust girth

according to this table defined by the standard:

Note: The data in the secondary table above has been extrapolated from the original EN 13402 specification, which only extends through a G-cup, by progressing upward through the alphabet in 2cm increments to account for larger cup-sizes, the conspicuous jump from H to J being due to the fact that the majority of European lingerie manufacturers skip the I-cup in their brassieres.

Example:

    
(bra-sizing example photos courtesy of Vix at Tits-Out.com)

In the bra-sizing sample photos above, we see that Vix has an under-bust girth of 87cm and a bust-line girth of just over 109cm. Subtracting these two measurements and consulting the EN 13402 cup-size table above places Vix at an F-cup (and, indeed, she typically wears a 36F bra).

Granted, the EN 13402 Bra-Sizing Standard recommends measuring over a bra (which typically increases the bust-line measurement as it compensates for any natural sagging of the breasts due to gravity), but this is MyBoobSite, after all, and I much prefer to see my boobs nude. ;~)
