How do Japanese measure breast size?
The measuring tape rests just above your breast, where the straps meet the top of the cup. On the other hand, most Japanese brands measure band size by bringing the measuring tape from the back band and around under the breasts, keeping the measuring tape parallel to the floor.
When our participants were asked what their ideal breast size would be, the C cup was considered the most popular, with 39% choosing it above other sizes. In second place, was the D cup, which was the first choice of 29% of people who completed our survey.
Getting The Right Size
You will have to keep in mind that a Japanese C is essentially a North American B. Based on my experience in Japan, you simply have to add two cup sizes to whatever your North American size is and convert the band size from inches to the nearest centimeter.
Your breasts are unique
The average bra size in the United States is 34DD. This figure can vary by country. In the U.K., for example, the average is 36DD. But pinning down an exact figure for what's “normal” or “average” isn't as easy as you might think.
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. If you want something that's going to fit your form you'll have to go down a level to an AA or even AAA cup.
