Before you purchase maternity bras by this brand, make sure you measure your bust size to get the right fit.

Calculate your band size – Place the tape around your ribcage under your breasts and note down this measurement. If it is an even number, add 4 inches to it. If it is an odd number, add 5 inches. This is the band size for your new maternity bra.

Determine your cup size – Now place the inch tape along the fullest part of your bust. The tape should run along your back on the same level. Note down this measurement too. If the measurement is in half numbers, round it up to the nearest whole number. This is the bust size. Subtract this number to the band size and you get the cup size. If the difference is 0 to 1” then the cup size is A, 2” is B cup, 3” is C cup and so on. If your band size is 34 and the difference is 3 inches, then your Playtex maternity bra size is 34 C.
