Right now, although I'm not at all surprised.
Just now
Grade 9- girlfriend at the time was "blessed" so to speak. Learned e women have a much more difficult time finding bras and underwear that "work" than most men do.
They're definitely defined differently between some countries. Japanese cup sizes are different to US ones
Now but I had my suspicions considering the trend with women's clothing.
I think this is filed in my head under "no two manufacturers' sizes are the same (even if they're supposed to be to a standard)", and "this is especially true of women's wear", so while I may have known about bra cup sizes specifically at some point in the past, I'm not sure I did at the time I arrived at this post, and yet am thoroughly unsurprised to (re)discover it.
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.
Well I don't wear underwear at all already 😀
Username checks out
My understanding is that some European countries have laws standardizing bra size.
I cut a check when the boob owner says it's boob maintenance time. Why do I need to know anything about sizing?
Knowledge is power and it allows you to give a wider range of gifts if you know more
Teenager. I'm an artist. I was drawing some characters. Had to find some references.
Around 19, I’d say. 42 now.
This old.
Probably around 14 or something. For whatever reason, people will often name DD as a large bra size around here. It also doesn't exist in our bra size system. Some girl pointed out that non-sense at school.
Europe, my beloved...
This might go some ways to explaining why I've never known a woman who liked buying or wearing bras. I'm comfortable blaming the patriarchy, which can absolutely get fucked.
