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 4 hours ago

I know, right? Might as well not wear one

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

No biometrics? No Wi-Fi? Pfft

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.

[–] breadleyloafsyou@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

thank you for the information

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours 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 4 points 1 hour 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.

It's all just an engineering problem. It takes a lot more to support a heavy load than a light load.........

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 11 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 5 hours ago

Torrid is a pretty good source for cute/sexy bras for large breasts. They also have shirts that will fit if you're skinny with large ones.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

there's no reason why we can't have pretty colours too

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.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 10 hours ago

'over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder'
lol

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 11 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

What’s going on behind the text???

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Two people, one person is hooking the bra for the other.

[–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 22 points 20 hours ago

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.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 64 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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...

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago

How far past D we talking here? Just so I know to make sure never to accidentally fall in love with a woman whose boobs are specialty consultant bra big

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day 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.

For C-subs, the bra is the show

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

[–] M137@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours 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.

This is it, down to the bow:

[–] 1995ToyotaCorolla@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 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

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Most fashion trends come back around every 20 years or so, but this one hasn’t for some reason:

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I guess you've never played the original Tomb Raider

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I’d love to see this make an appearance in the Fallout LA series. It would be so appropriate in that time period, and especially so because of the nuclear metaphor. This really seems like something that would become popular in the Fallout universe.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 39 minutes ago

Especially if they're functional as weapons; either offensive or defensive.
