It’s so bad that my fiancée has some bras that say she’s a B cup and others that says she’s a D cup. In order to go bra shopping, you have to actually try them on to find out if they fit.
If I had to try on underwear to see if they fit, I might not bother with underwear at all!
When I was 25, my girlfriend complained about buying the same bra, same size, same material, same URL, from the same company, on their website, 2 years apart. The first ones fit really well, the second ones didn’t fit at all.
Meanwhile, there’s a shoe that I buy a pair of every few years. They release a new “version” about once per year, but the fit has been consistent, so I’m over a decade, and 6 pairs, into my purchase of them, with no problems.
It’s wild to me that people just buy the same shoe over and over. I’m not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination; I just have one, maximum two, pair(s) of footwear per temperature slice, and I don’t even have any formal ones.
But even I would want something new, even if my old pair had served me well.
Also, sometimes different colours of fabric fit differently in the same bra size.
Most women don’t wear bras that fit.
Yes! Also in panties. Usually black, for some reason beyond me, is tighter than any other color both for bras and panties.
Its even different in different parts of the world. Related Wiki: wikipedia-bra size
Now but I had my suspicions considering the trend with women’s clothing.
Good thing guy underwear doesn’t give one fuck about the shape of the penis. They either mush it into the crutch to defeature the shlong, or they let the whole thing just flap around under loose shorts.
Right now

Around 19, I’d say. 42 now.
Right now reading the title of this post.
You all need to adopt metric for bras
Honestly even Imperial would help at this point. Clothing sizes, in general, are based on basically clouds and dreams and vary wildly by brand or even by model.
I just wish the world standardized. I don’t care how. As long as it’s standard.
When going for brands, like Lounge Underwear or even more expensive ones like Marlies Dekkers, Aubade or Lise Charmel (instead of cheap imports from China) there’s almost never a problem with the size. There have been maybe 2 or 3 bras (cheap ones) that did not fit in the last twelve years and everything else has the same size and fits her.
Trying to buy bras for my wife has been an eye opening experience.
One thing that I haven’t seen mentioned here yet is the Wild West of standards once you get to big cup sizes. Apparently DD is the same as E, DDD is an F, and I’ve even seen a DDDD, which would be a G. Depending on cuts, brands, and styles, her size can go from a DD to an I.
Not to mention these things are like $100 for a “cheap” one. The amount of engineering it has to take to design that shit is probably a few years of grad school.
Just now.
They aren’t?
I would assume they’re not but that’s because I notice that depending on who makes what shoe depends on what size I have. I also see this in pants and shorts for men as well. I just assume nothing is actually standardized due to QA never really catching things.
In theory they’re standardized. But in practice, no they’re not.
Today years old
I’ve been married for 8 years, and I had no idea 😂
Never been underwear shopping with the wife? I usually take my wife once a year. Think of it this way. A good bra is like a good pair of work boots. You get a shit pair and you’re in pain every time you wear them. Bras are the same thing.
Yes and no. Sexy underwear, sure, but never a big talk around the vast differences. I told her about this comment, and I got a 10 minute talk about it 😂 no regrets!
Lol she will be impressed if you take her out for shopping for some bras that fit her. Glad to help
They’re definitely defined differently between some countries. Japanese cup sizes are different to US ones
Well, today years old. Thanks.
