There are women on Lemmy? Thought we were exclusively neckbeards.

I’m a woman and I wear a 36G. There is literally ONE BRAND I can buy that is reliable and consistent in sizing and shapes. They don’t stock this size in their stores either so I have to buy it online and hope it works. Luckily it’s pretty reliable if I stick to the cacique brand.

The worst part is that my hubs can’t/won’t buy me lingerie because it’s such a shot in the dark of it’ll fit. Eventually I want to save up and have a custom set made so it fits my body perfectly and makes me feel sexy. It’s such a bummer I can’t get that from store bought items.

My wife loves Wacoal bras. A couple years ago, she finally found one of their bras in a pretty blue, instead of the normal beige.

They called the color “goblin blue” which of course made her feel great.

Well, technically I measure D (because bra sizing is whack) but yes. Because I don’t need a bra, I can get any sort at all, they are more or less a decorative item, not an architectural support system.

But I used to be smaller and oh my God bras for truly small boobs are so hard to find, it’s like the manufacturers have never seen a small bust. They scale EVERYTHING down, instead of making them have human proportions - they think if average boobs are like half grapefruits, then small boobs must be like half golf balls, but nobody is built like that.

now imagine how good wed have it if our bras werent made by dudes
pretty flowers and frills for everyone!

Yeah, I’m a J or K cup depending on brand, and it’s almost always plain black or beige. I hate the bows they feel shitty and tacked on.

Most bras, from most retail options, are of the basic, comfortable variety, regardless of size. You sort of have to intentionally look for the lace ones (unless you shop in stores made primarily for sex appeal like Victoria’s Secret - the secret is people don’t typically wear that crap).

Having lace daily rub your nipples, underboob area, or under arm area, leads to chafing and is really unpleasant.

And most bras, despite being super expensive, aren’t made with high quality materials, so lace doesn’t last for shit.

my partner says that she agrees with the second part for sizes f and up, and the first part is true for women sizes c, d, and e, but if you have size b or god forbid lower youre completely fucked.

“Ive never had a bra from a conventional place fit me because they dont actually use small-chested women as their models. They just take other women and scale down the size so it basically never fits right-- there is gappage and weird tightness/looseness in areas you dont want. The whole industry sucks because it was created by men and not women.”

Torrid would like a word with you.

But seriously, cute bras for large boobs are definitely a thing.

I read that as ship “bow” instead of clothing “bow” but it kind of works either way.

Nine guys out of ten prefer big tits. The tenth guy prefers the other nine.
