Women who wear C cup boobs often look natural and proportional with their body frame. This size typically falls between a B and D cup in band size, and two cups in volume.
Measuring your cup size correctly is key to determining your current breast size and choosing implant sizes for future surgeries. Learn how here.
Size
For many people, C cup breasts are considered to be large. However, the size of your boobs depends on several factors, including genetics, body weight, and hormones. When measuring your bust, it’s important to keep in mind that the number part of your bra size (band measurement) is separate from the letter part (cup size). To determine your cup size, place a soft tape measure around the largest area of your underbust and subtract your band size. For example, if your ribcage-to-bust measurement is 36 inches and your band size is 32, you’ll have a 34C breast size.
While a C cup may seem large, women of this size can still be slim and fit. They can also wear a variety of clothing styles, and they can be confident in their curves. Some popular celebrities who have a C cup include Kim Kardashian, Mila Kunis, and Kate Hudson. They all have enviable curves and are known for their confidence in themselves. In fact, one survey found that more women prefer a C cup than a B cup or even a D cup.
Shape
Women with a full C cup have well-rounded breasts and a moderate amount of volume. They’re often complimented for their beauty and figure. Many women with a full C cup size also have a slim waist and pear shape. For example, Beyonce and Jennifer Aniston are both slender and have well-rounded boobs.
When compared to other bra sizes, the C cup is slightly larger than an A and smaller than a D. The size and shape of a woman’s breasts can vary based on her frame, birth control, hormone changes, and other factors.
To determine your cup size, loosely wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest. Then, subtract your band size from that number to find out your cup size. For instance, if your band measurement is 28 inches, your cup size would be 36 because 28 – 24 = 16. For some women, a full C might not look proportional to their ribcage. This is why it’s important to try on different styles of bras before making a final decision.
Volume
Women with c cup boobs are a little bit bigger than B cups and are three inches larger than A cups. This size is often chosen by women with natural breasts that want to add more volume without having augmentation surgery.
The size of a woman’s breast is determined by genes, body weight, and the amount of fatty tissue and glandular tissue in the breasts. Hormonal changes can also affect breast size during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy and menopause.
To measure your cup size, take a measuring tape and wrap it loosely around your ribcage, right underneath your bust. The number that you get will be your band size. Subtract this from your chest measurement to find out your cup size. For example, a 36C bra will look bigger than a 32C because a 36C has a ribcage-to-bust measurement that is 3 inches larger than a 32C. The same goes for a 38C vs. a 36C – it all depends on the individual frame. Similarly, some women may wear a 34B and still have a C cup because they have an overall petite figure and slim underbust.
Breast Implants
The most important thing to know is that breast size is highly variable and will look different on every patient. For example, a 350cc implant in one patient will likely look much different than the same implant in another patient. This is because cup letter only tells us how much your boobs stick out from the ribcage, but not the actual band size.
For this reason, it is important to determine your current bra size before aiming for a particular cup size with implants. Dr Daneshmand recommends a simple technique for finding your cup size: Stand upright and wrap a soft, pliable tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Then use a measuring tape to find the distance between this measurement and your underbust (ribcage-to-bust).
This will give you your band size, which is the first step in finding your implant size. He also recommends using sizers (silicone implant spheres) during your consultation so that you can see how different sizes will look before making a final decision. He will then recommend the correct size to achieve your goal.
Bras
The C cup breast size is one of the most common bra sizes. It’s also a popular choice for women who want to increase their bust size without the cost and risks of breast implants or augmentation surgery. C cups are generally considered to be on the large side, but this can vary depending on a person’s frame and size.
To find your correct bra size, you’ll need to take a measuring tape and wrap it around your rib cage right underneath your breasts. Then, subtract your band measurement from your bust size (the “number” portion of your bra size). If this number is 3 inches or more, you’re a C cup!
You can find many different bras in your size, including a variety of types and styles. However, you should always get professionally measured to ensure that your bras fit correctly. And remember, gaining or losing weight will affect your bra size, so you may need to re-measure your ribcage and breasts periodically. Getting your boobs measured is the best way to avoid wearing bras that are too small and potentially damaging your nipples.
