How the fuck does bra size work?

[Deleted]

Said the gay man, lol.

Women relax around gays, I have seen more nude women than Hugh Hefner.

Its like buying a dress shirt but you have to factor in a cup measurement. Say your shirt size is a 17, well now its a 17 C because you need to factor in cup size.

Well we wont know unless you show us a pic of her breasts!

(someone already make that joke?)

Gay guys also can make great wingmen for straight guys. But lets not spoil that secret.

Yep, you're late.

Ok you're treating this forum as if it was google.

Some things you don't want google to know.

So what's H to you then?

OP, just take her with you, the size is not all you have to get right because it varies depending on the brand, and unlike a sweater, the thing has to fit well, otherwise it'll be annoyance.

I rarely pay for drinks because of this very reason, the worst part is fending off the crazy women who think you are joking.

Spoken like someone that has never seen tennisball in a football sock tits.

One thing that girls and guys can agree with: Women's clothing is way too damn complicated.

Guys: I wear a large.
Girls: I wear a size 1 from X a size 3 from Y and a size 0 from Z.

Ask the women at victoria's secret if you can feel their breasts to compare to the size of your girlfriends and get the size from that, thats how I've always done it.

Its gotta be under the bra to be the most accurate.

I don't agree. It's not complicated.

If your body isnt exactly proportionate, it can be. bras arent standardized accross stores, and frequently neither are womens clothes either.

The number is the band length.

For most of Europe (except France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy), it is the circumference of the chest below the breast in centimetres, rounded to the nearest 5.

For France, Belgium, and Spain, it's the above measure, but plus 15cm.

For Italy, it's a single digit counting by 5s, starting at 60. So 60 is 0, 65 is 1, etc.

For American, it's in inches and may be the below-breast measure as with European, or the below breast measure plus 4 inches, or the same measure, but above the breast (e.g. Victoria's Secret).

The letter indicates the circumference of the breast, measured from the centre of the chest, across the nipple, to just ahead of the armpit. It is in 1-inch (2.54cm) increments on both sides of the pond, with A corresponding to 7"/17.8cm, B is 8"/20.3cm, and so on.

Bras are a bad idea to buy for someone.
Bras are for women like keyboards/mice/headphones are for gamers.

Everyone has their preference and any detail, be it functional or esthetic, can completely ruin the whole thing.
It can be uncomfortable or the color is wrong or it does not fit with the rest of her clothing or the design is ugly...

Better get her something more specific to her, something you know (or can find out) that your gf uniquely likes and wants.

Wanted to say the same but now I got a mod to back me up so I feel safe.

Comparatively, it is.

Hell the most complicated thing I've ever done clothing wise, was getting measured for a proper suit. And that took about 5 minutes, and they even wrote it on a business card that I could give to any tailor. and that was stick arms out, breathe in, hold groin so that they don't accidentally touch it and make everyone feel weird.

I don't have to figure out who I'm buying from and what my particular size is under their brand's size dictations. A large is a large is a large unless I go out of country. and then it's try on a couple things, and I know what my size is for most of that continent.

[Binaris]

the take away here is.... dont. You dont buy your girlfriend a bra. period. the sizing is way to picky and frankly isnt picky enough since women come in all shapes and sizes. Look in your area for a specialty bra store or something that does exact fitting and take her. Most women arent wearing the right size anyway so checking her drawer will only tell you what size she thinks they are, not what will be the most comfortable and supportive.

All I know is my wife wears a C cup. I don't know the exact size.

I'm happy they are no A's or B's.

I like boobs. C's are about perfect. D's can be OK, anything larger is obnoxious beyond a quick thrill. (to me personally)

C and D are good for young women... after a certain age they touch their knees....

So Bs are best!

I read that yes.

I'm just happy I dont have to wear a bra.

You are a bra captain or a pastebot.

What did Masark say to pushups?
- Bra, do you even lift?

I JUST MADE THAT UP ME SO FUNNY.

I really need to go to bed. X_X
