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

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 bras 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!!

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 2 weeks ago
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.
ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
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’ 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.
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks 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.

why did human evolved to grow something that’s going to hurt themselves smh
faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 weeks 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.

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 2 weeks ago
Base-10 titties
volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
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.
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
You’re doing God’s work here. I can’t count the number of times that I’ve found myself wading into a conversation to clarify things. It always feels like I’m being a bit of a persnickety grump, but misconceptions like this are a part of why so many people are wearing ill fitting bras.
Far too many people feel like their bra is a cage, that they can’t wait to be free of at the end of the day. However, for people with larger busts especially, a good, supportive bra can feel like freedom.
Obligatory plug of the “A Bra That Fits” calculator. I make my own clothing and support garments (corsets, stays etc.), so I often get asked for advice on where to go to get fitted, and I always advise that it’s better to use resources like this (with someone to help measure, if necessary and available) rather than a professional fitting.
I knew someone who was previously wearing a D cup that she had been professionally fitted for, who went up to a H cup. It took her some trial and error to find the right band size, because what the calculator recommended wasn’t right for her, but once she got over the shock of “surely I can’t be an H cup!”, she was able to use other community resources to actually find something infinitely more comfortable than her old bras
TisI@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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.

No idea what’s going on in this meme. What’s c cup? Chai cup?
ickplant@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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 2 weeks ago
Probably the small bob girls are making the bras are don’t want big bobbys to look nice.

It’s all just an engineering problem. It takes a lot more to support a heavy load than a light load…
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 2 weeks ago
It’s not just an engineering problem. Larger bras can be hard to find in interesting and fun colours, and there’s no reason why we can’t have pretty colours too. Plus even in smaller bras that have fancy trims and edgings, lace overlays and decorative strappy elements, they exist in addition to the main support structure of the bra, on top of it. There’s no reason why this couldn’t be done for larger bra sizes too.
It actually is done by more niche makers, so it’s definitely possible. Ewa Michelak, for example, is a Polish bra maker that is extremely well regarded amongst people who want their over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder to look pretty and make them feel sexy too. Here’s an example of something from their range for people with “very large busts” (Mildly NSFW) to give an example of what I mean.
Buying bras from abroad is a faff, and extra expensive due to import fees, but the fact that I know multiple people who do it speaks to how the quality and availability of the majority of bras for large boobs is just rubbish, both in support and aesthetics.
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago

The reason is the bell curve of body shapes and the marketing departments in the mainstream companies desire to only target the very middle of the bell curve.

Government are becoming increasingly tyrannical all over the world. These are the only viable ways to earn money in crypto while not relying on government or centralized exchanges.
- Mining - Your PC solves puzzles to secure the network. Join a pool (like F2Pool) for steady payouts, or solo mine for a jackpot (but watch the electric bill). Eg: 🔗www.f2pool.com 🔗www.nicehash.com
- Airdrops & Faucets - Free tokens for early users (like Uniswap’s $UNI). Faucets give tiny amounts for small tasks—good for learning, not retiring.eg: 🔗airdrops.io 🔗earni.fi
- Trading -
Buy low, sell high. Or in crypto: buy high, panic sell low. Day trade, swing trade, or gamble on meme coins. Eg:
🔗app.uniswap.org - Neutswap Stateless wallet – s are a non-custodial way to auto swap your crypto while in your wallets. Unlike stateful wallets, stateless wallets can hold multiple cryptocurrencies at the same time in the same blockspace. Neutswap adapts to any crypto-currencies of choice at any point in time to generate margin yields in the range of 7 to 13%weekly. This happens because price of all cryptocurrencies fluctuate independently of one another. Stateless wallets auto rebalance your wallet according the there individual performance. eg: 🔗neutswap.com

At least for the pockets thing it's a difference between what women think they want and what they actually want. When most women say they want pants with pockets, what they mean is pants that look the same as the ones they already have, but also with pockets. That's impossible to make so, so women are forced to choose between tight pants that highlight their figure and pockets and they choose the former. As for bras, after a quick google my less than educated guess is that because bigger bras have rapidly increased in demand in the past two decades (and even then many wear bras that are too small), at the turn of the century business execs were right to consider bigger bras to be a marginal market with no point in worrying too much about it. Now, however, they're just out of touch. If I'm right hopefully this will correct itself once someone wakes up to the business opportunity.
chicken@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I don’t necessarily think you’re point is even wrong, but please know “it’s a difference between what women think they want and what they actually want” is so unbelievably condescending. Perhaps focus more on the difficulties of tailoring and less on deciding for women how they feel?

I’ve not seen womens pants available with larger pockets and non-form fitting. I’m not sure you can say it’s just a choice issue when the choice would be to just buy mens pants instead.
slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure i want pockets and i’m pretty sure that i don’t care if my figure is highlighted or not. It would be even better if my pants would draw attention to my big ass pant pockets because then i could show of my pockets.

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.
