Q. How do I know if I'm wearing the right bra size?
A. The right bra size is so important for comfort and support! Unfortunately, 7 out of every 10 women wear the wrong size. To find out how to make sure your size is the correct one, visit our Fitting Room.
Q. I'm smaller busted. What Playtex® bra collections will fit me?
A. Thank Goodness It Fits®, Half Sizes Too™, and Cross Your Heart® bras are designed with you in mind. Also, Half Sizes Too™ and Thank Goodness It Fits® bras offer "Nearly A®", "Nearly B®" and "Nearly C®" cups. These brands offer these and other cups sizes created especially for women whose proportions fall in between standard measurements.

A. Playtex® bras provide styles to fit all shapes and sizes. 18 Hour®, Playtex Secrets®, Cross Your Heart®, Everyday Basics®, Feel Beautiful® and Expectant Moments® bras offer larger cups. In addition, styles within these collections are designed with extra supportive materials and features.
Q. Do you make bras with small cups but with larger band sizes?
A. Yes! Playtex® intimates continues to recognize this as a need and has increased our offering. For example, Thank Goodness It Fits®, Half Sizes Too™ and Cross Your Heart® bras have styles available in a 38A. Everyday Basics®, Playtex Secrets®, Cross Your Heart® and 18 Hour® bras offer styles in a 40B.
Q. Do you offer maternity bras?
A. The Playtex® bra brand is known for fitting all shapes and sizes, including women who are expecting. To view both underwire and wire-free styles, go to the Expectant Moments® bra collection area of our Web site. For fit tips, visit our Maternity and Nursing Bras area of our online Fitting Room.
Q. Why do bras that are the same size sometimes look like they're actually different sizes?
A. A band measurement is dependent on the physical properties of the material used. A garment containing materials with more stretch may be shorter than a garment with more rigid materials. All styles are not designed to measure the same, but they are designed to fit the same body type with specific measurements.
Q. Could you send me information on bras for a school project?

We receive a very large number of requests similar to yours, and so unfortunately we are not in a position to address each researcher individually. However, you may find the answers to many of your questions by consulting this Web site.
