Born Primitive size charts are a guide to the fit of our products.
Generally, our sizing is on par with other activewear brands, ie: if you wear a size S in one, you will most likely wear a S in BP. But it's always worth getting a tape measure out and checking!
If your measurements are at the boundaries you may find the next size up more comfortable. If you have any questions about our size guides please contact us, we would be more than happy to help you find the perfect fit.
MEASURING TIPS:
For the most accurate measurements, we suggest measuring as close to the skin as possible while wearing a non-padded, non-compression bra.
BUST MEASUREMENT:
Wrap the measuring tape around and across the widest point of the chest.
MEASURING TIPS:
We have determined that your waist measurement will most likely dictate your size. Right on the edge between two sizes? You can utilize your thigh and hip measurements as secondary guidelines to help you find the perfect size.
WAIST MEASUREMENT:
Measure around the smallest part of your torso, keeping the measuring tape as horizontal as possible.
THIGH MEASUREMENT:
Measure around widest area of the thigh.
HIP MEASUREMENT:
Measure around the largest area of your hips, encapsulating the roundest part of your gluteus.
To find your cup size make the following measurements:
A) Bust. Keep the tape straight across your back. Round up to the nearest whole number.
B) Rib Cage ( Under Bust )
A-B = Cup Size
2.5 CM= A | 5 CM= B | 7.5 CM= C | 10 CM= D | 12.5 CM= DD | 15 CM= E
The difference in centimeters is your suggested cup size. If you’re between sizes, round up.Sports Bra Fit Guidelines.
Fit Guidelines:
Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.
***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out our Full Support - High Intensity Sports bras!
MEASURING TIPS:
For the most accurate measurements, we suggest measuring as close to the skin as possible.
CHEST MEASUREMENT:
Wrap the measuring tape around the widest point of the chest starting at the front and centre of your torso.
I ordered size Medium. I am 5'6" and 145lbs. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they fit. I was nervous because usually shorts with waist bands like this are too tight in the waist and too loose in the butt, but not these. Very soft material and I love all of the pockets!
Size Medium. They are great quality and feel well made. My complaint is they are longer on the leg, the waistband is snug and sits at my bellybutton. I prefer a hip hugger. For reference I’m 5’2” hips 36 waist 30.
