46-Inch Underbust Bra Size
A snug 46″ underbust (117 cm) is a 46 band. Slide to your bust measurement and the size appears; the table shows every cup a 46 band can carry.
My underbust is 46″: what's my size?
The band comes from the underbust alone. 46″ → 46 band whatever your bust; the bust only decides the cup letter: one letter per inch above 46.

Where 46″ lands
A 46 band in every system
Odd number? No. 46 is the 46 band directly. Bands are always even; the underbust reading between them goes to the sister size that fits.
Getting the underbust right
Firm against the ribs, level all the way round, on a normal exhale. A slack tape adds an inch and a band size.
Nearest whole inch, odd rounds up to even. Never add four inches: that is the outdated rule.
The band should fasten on the loosest hook and feel firm; move inward as it stretches over months.

Should the tape be tight for the underbust?
Snug: firm against the ribcage like a well-fitting band, not painful. Two inches of slack turns a 34 band into a 36.

Often, as a sister size. 44 with one cup letter up holds the same volume on a firmer band, useful if 46 rides up or you are between readings.
