For C-subs, the bra is the show
For D+, it’s the curtain to the main event.
Heave-ho!

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…

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 😂

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.

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

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!!

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.

What a dramatic escalation in ‘material to work with’ that would have been

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?
volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 26 minutes 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.
TisI@lemmy.zip 3 hours 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 14 hours 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 13 hours ago
Probably the small bob girls are making the bras are don’t want big bobbys to look nice.
LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 14 hours ago
Bra size. C is medium D+ is large.

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.

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?

Every time the pockets-in-pants thing comes up:
Women in the comments: OMG yes please what we have now sucks
Men in the comments: well acktually…
slowmorella@discuss.tchncs.de 9 hours 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.
wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
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.

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.
