Looking for a padded tube bra that stays put, feels soft, and looks smooth under every outfit? Use the Plan B size chart to find your perfect match. A good fit means gentle hold through the day, no pinching, and a seamless line under tees and dresses. This handy size guide covers how to measure, how to read your result, and simple checks to confirm the fit.

Measurements are body measurements. If between sizes, choose the larger size.

How to Measure For Tube Bra

Use a soft tape to measure a tube bra:

Chest: Measure around the fullest part, keeping the tape level and snug, not tight.
Underbust: Measure around the ribcage just below the bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.
Match these to the size chart for the padded tube bra to find the right fit for ages 10–16.

Tips for the Perfect Fit

Opt for the larger size if your child is between sizes to accommodate growth spurts, which are common during early adolescence.

Consider fabric stretch. Materials like cotton-spandex blends offer flexibility and comfort as your child grows.
Check strap transparency and adjustability, ensuring they are removable and neither too tight nor too loose.
Finally, always refer to the size chart for a tube bra to ensure the best fit.

Padded Tube Bra FAQs

Should a padded tube bra fit tight or relaxed?

A padded tube bra must be a snug fit but comfortable. It should be for all-day wear and should stay in place without digging, slipping, or restricting movement. Girls should be able to wear anything, be it off-shoulder dresses, body-hugging outfits, tube tops, or everyday wear.

Is the sizing for a padded tube bra different from a regular, normal bra?

Yes, tube bras rely more on chest/underbust and fabric stretch since there are no cups or wires. Buying the correct bra size is extremely important, as it is for everyday use, and a wrong size is a big no-no. A good chic non-wired bra or even a padded tube bra is not only a style statement, but it is also versatile, gives all-day comfort, and makes young girls feel secure.

Can I wear the same size in a padded tube bra?

Even though a padded tube bra is often close-fitting for a sports bra, it is recommended to check our sports bra size chart for better results.
