Bra Size Calculator Philippines
Most brands sold in the Philippines use the US inch-based band-and-cup system, including imported American brands and many local labels that follow the same convention. If you shop at Bench, Triumph, Wacoal or SM Woman, your US size is usually the right starting point.

Sizes on this page are estimates. Sizing varies by brand and style, so always check the brand’s own size chart and try on before you buy. Nothing here is medical advice.
How to measure
You need a soft measuring tape and two minutes. Underbust: wrap the tape directly under your bust, level and snug, breathing out normally. Bust: wrap it around the fullest part, level across your back, without pressing in. Enter both numbers above, in inches or centimetres. The full steps are in the step-by-step measuring guide.
Philippines bra size chart
| PH / US band | EU band | FR band |
|---|---|---|
| 28 | 70 | 85 |
| 30 | 75 | 90 |
| 32 | 80 | 95 |
| 34 | 85 | 100 |
| 36 | 90 | 105 |
| 38 | 95 | 110 |
Cups run by the difference between your bust and band measurements. One inch of difference is roughly one cup step in US and UK sizing; in centimetre systems the steps are 2.5 cm.
How Philippines sizing works
Philippine labels you will see most often are US-style: bands 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and cups AA, A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, G, H. Some stores also carry European and Asian imports, so check whether the label you are reading is US or EU before ordering.
A worked example
A 34-inch underbust with a 3-inch difference is a Philippine 34C, an EU 85D and a French 100D.
Converting to and from Philippines sizes
A Philippine 34C is a UK 34C, an EU 85D and a French 100D. Because the Philippines commonly uses US sizing, conversion is mostly a matter of translating the cup letters for EU and French labels.
Common measuring mistakes
Measuring over a padded bra lifts and compresses, giving a smaller bust reading. Measure without a bra or in a thin, unpadded one. Pulling the tape too tight underestimates the band. Letting the tape droop at the back overestimates the bust. Using an old size without re-measuring — weight, pregnancy, breastfeeding and aging all change the numbers, so re-measure every year or two.
Shopping tips for Philippines
Philippine stores commonly use US sizing, but European and Asian imports sold in the Philippines carry EU or centimetre labels. Check the tag’s system before you buy: a US 34 and an EU 85 are not the same band, even though both numbers look familiar.
Philippine shoppers buy US sizing at the mall: Bench Body and Avon Philippines sell alongside Triumph and Wacoal in SM department stores, and Uniqlo’s Philippine stores stock the same US-style sizes. A worked example: a 34-inch underbust with a 3-inch difference is a Philippine 34C — the same as a US 34C — while Wacoal’s own metric labels write a 34B as B75, so a 75 on a Wacoal tag is a centimetre band, not a different size.
One habit covers every system: check the system on the label, convert both the band and the cup, and try the bra on before committing to more than one. Returns are easier than a drawer full of the wrong size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizing system does the Philippines use?
Most brands sold in the Philippines use the US inch-based system: bands 28–46 with US cup letters including DD and DDD. European or Asian imports appear in some malls, so check the tag’s origin if a centimetre number shows up instead.
Which brands sell bras in the Philippines?
Bench Body and Avon Philippines sell alongside Triumph and Wacoal in SM department stores, and Uniqlo’s Philippine stores stock the same US-style sizes.
What does B75 mean on a Wacoal Philippines tag?
Wacoal Philippines also uses metric Asian sizing: B75 is a 34B in US sizing, where 75 is the underbust in centimetres and B is the cup. If a Wacoal tag shows a number in the 70s, read it as centimetres, not inches.
How do I convert my EU size to a Philippine size?
Convert the band from centimetres to inches first: an EU 85D is a Philippine 34C. Use the global size converter for the exact translation, and check the brand’s own chart before ordering.
