I started by looking at Cuup’s size chart, and quickly realized I needed to size up in the band. (I usually wear a 40, but a 44 looks closer to my measurements per its sizing.) I also decided to try a 46, as cup sizes get larger as the band does, and I figured that could help me find the cup depth I need. That ended up being the right move, as the cups on the 44G were too small, but the ones on 46G were much better — and even more so after taking the advice Torres imparted about Cuup’s mesh bras: “My rule of thumb is you need to wear the product for a good one to two hours, because the compression that we’ve used in the mesh is really taut. You might feel like, ‘Oh, is this too small?’ It’s actually not. It’s easing into your body, and then, after a two hour wear, it’s the perfect size. It’s just one of the complexities of the technology within the fabric that remolds to the temperature in your skin.”
