I can't relate to this thread for ... reasons ... but if anyone wants to explain to me why a jockstrap maker can't produce something that can contain an entire scrotum without it sticking out the sides like someone deflated a skin balloon, let me know.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I know, right? Might as well not wear one

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

No biometrics? No Wi-Fi? Pfft

For C-subs, the bra is the show

For D+, it's the curtain to the main event.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Nah, as a small breast kind of man I get the best of both worlds. And the men I've met and talked with about this who think bigger boobs are better have a big overlap with thinking bigger is better when it comes to cars, houses, wallets etc. too. In general fragile masculinity, they use big things to make themselves feel like their view of manly men. Definitely not saying this is only the case, and also not kink shaming, it's just been a thing that's been proven many times.

Lmfao. Thank you i needed that laugh.

This is it, down to the bow:

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Almost looks like an explosives vest. They should make one styled like a claymore with the “front toward enemy” text on it

Edit: it should still have the bow because you deserve to feel pretty while shredding your enemies in a hail of steel shot

[–] AdaleiM@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I would wear that so fast

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (4 children)

They used to make 'torpedo" style bras back in the 1960's. They so pointy they could poke and eye out.....

And like 95% of the fun of having big old titties is getting to show a little cleavage if you want to. But the bra makers don’t want to let you wear anything more low cut than a t-shirt. Give me sexy bras I can wear under sexy clothes you jerks!!

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

This has always bothered me. I’m a C cup, so most fashion is made for me to show cleavage.

But I’ve done some fashion design (mostly historical fashion), and I’ve seriously wondered why larger bust sizes have such outsized undergarments. Like more than seems necessary.

Oooh this takes me back. When I was 11, something like this in a Sears catalog would have basically been porn for me.

Then a year later we got the internet.

The next tier once you go far enough past D is having an appointment with specialty consultants to properly fit you into an engineered mass of patent pending fabrics, carbon fiber supports, and experimental closure devices.

This is exactly as expensive as it sounds. They make swimsuits as well...

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I kinda believe you because I'm designing a bra because of my partners bigger sizes 😅

And I'll be doing the patent application soon so I also don't want to say what it is 😂

It's just you running behind her and holding them up, isn't it.

My wife wears anything between a DDD and an I, depending on brand / cut / style. I've been there for those fitting appointments, I'm really only joking about the materials, but I'm sure there's probably some carbon fiber being used somewhere, and I've seen brands with trademarked stretchy/moisture-wicking fabrics, so that's pretty true as well.

CUP SIZE IS RELATIVE TO BAND SIZE.

I need every man here to stop talking about 'D cups' for side like it means anything. It sounds as stupid as saying '100 moneys is a lot of money' without stating the currency.

Here is a chart of sister sizes. Every row is the same volume, meaning that a 40A, 36C, and 30E are the same volume, just different shapes.

Now, it is true that it's harder to buy nicer looking bras for d-cups and above, but that's because big bra has been pushing for bra conformity for decades and shoving women into a narrow range of sister sizes at sleazy stores like victoria secret so that they don't have to make a larger variety of sizes. The result is that women who want a bra that fits have to pay a premium, and bras are expensive as is.

Bras are not just clothing, for many women there is a medical need for one due to back pain and other conditions. Yet, the bra industry cares more about the sales volumes of their 36Cs than the fact that half the women wearing them are likely wearing the wrong size.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 days ago

Yup! Some 90-95% of women wear the wrong bras. Especially those who have been extremely gifted by nature, this can lead to pain in their later years.

Going to an actual bra fitter and getting a fitted bra or two is something every woman should get. So, people, if you love your gals, get them a gift of an actually will-fitted bra. Doesn't need to be fancy, but if it fits, she will love you for it!

Source: SO got a fitted bra, couldn't shut up about it for three months, just being in complete shock about how comfortable it was.

[–] breadleyloafsyou@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

thank you for the information

[–] nialv7@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

why did human evolved to grow something that's going to hurt themselves smh

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 days ago

I know this was a rhetorical question, but here's a real answer anyways.

Evolution isn't smart, and it doesn't care if something kills you, so long as you can pass the genes on first. Boobs are for feeding babies. If more mammary tissue mean you can make more milk for your baby, you've got a better chance of your child surviving infancy and passing that gene on.

Also, boobs are a large percent fat, which functions as both nutritional and hydration reserves that are used during pregnancy/breastfeeding to ensure the baby survives and passes the gene on.

For better or for worse, my back pain doesn't make me any less sexy.

My poor wife is one of those that needs the industrial-strength scaffolding, and still managed to run a half marathon without black eyes and a broken jaw recently.

Bra engineers are underrated.

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Are cup sizes the same in all countries? I know in the US the number is the band size and the cup is supposed to be inches difference between the chest and the breast. But how does that work for metric countries?

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Base-10 titties

[–] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mandatory mention that cup size means nothing without the band size.

A C cup with a 70 cm band is much smaller in volume than a C cup with a 90 cm band. 70G and 90C have equivalent breast volume (if you go with A, B C, D, E, F, G as nomenclature).

Which is especially annoying because as a 70G you still get the industrial support model while you'd be fine with a turtle dove model. And if you have a band width below 70 you are absolutely fucked, although a lot of petite women would do better in 65.

No, they're not. Even though metric countries (to my knowledge) use the same formula (the one you mentioned), there are differences in the sequence. For example, the US would go: A, B, C, D, DD, DDD, F, G,H, etc. Whereas the UK would go: A, B, C, D, DD, E, F, FF, G, GG, and so on. So you do need to know which sizing system the company is using to determine cup size.

If her bra don't creak like an old ship when she moves, I ain't interested

I know this is oversimplified, but:

C-cup and below = small and medium sized boobs. Pretty bras.

D-cup and above = large boobs. No pretty bras.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Probably the small bob girls are making the bras are don't want big bobbys to look nice.
