              Measuring Your Underbust

              Wrap a soft tape measure around your ribcage, just under your chest (that’s your underbust). Keep it level and snug. Not too tight, not too loose.

              No Measuring Tape? No Problem

              A string, shoelace, or ribbon works too. Wrap it around your underbust, mark where it meets, then measure the length with a ruler. Easy.

              Find Your Bra Size

              Match your underbust measurement to the size chart. If you’re between sizes, go for the bigger one — a little extra room always feels better than too tight. If you need a bigger size, check out the women’s sizes below.

              Find Your Women's Bra Size

              Getting the right size bra is crucial to lock in all the benefits. Grab a tape measure and an unlined bra to see how you measure up in Nike Bras. If you don’t have a tape measure, string and a ruler work too.

              First, Measure Your Underbust

              Measure around the bra’s bottom band, just under the breast. The tape measure should feel snug. Round up to the closest measurement. If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a string and a ruler. Follow the above instructions. Lay the string on a flat surface and measure with the ruler.

              Second, Measure Your Cup

              With the tape measure parallel to the floor, lay the tape across the fullest point of your breast. Measure from the center of your chest to where your breast tissue ends on one side (where an underwire should sit). Round up to the closest measurement.

              Based on your answers, this is the bra size we think will fit you best.

              When to Transition to Women’s Bras


              If your measurements are at the upper end of the girls' size chart (or you need more support, like a bra with cups), it's time to check out women's bras. The underbust measurements between girl's and women’s bras overlap slightly. You may find your best fit in women’s bras if you fall within this overlap and need a more custom fit.

              Women’s bras are created using alpha (XXS-4X) and alpha hybrid (S (A-C)) sizing. Use the interactive size finder to find your perfect fit.

                          Medium: strength training or gym sessions, when you need a bit more stability.

                          High: intense activities like HIIT or running, for when you need maximum hold.

                          Coverage
