Its even different in different parts of the world. Related Wiki: wikipedia-bra size

I'm both fat and tall. None of my fucking clothes have consistent sizes that fit. I'm not the least bit surprised that the clothing industry's greatest minds were defeated by breasts.

They're definitely defined differently between some countries. Japanese cup sizes are different to US ones

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.

I'm gay, so current age I guess

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.

I really want a law that requires clothing sizes to include actual measurements. And it's insane that I would have to specify that these measurements must be accurate, but the clothing industry has made lying about sizes the norm.

There shouldn't be anything preventing me from figuring out women's bra sizes with a tape measure aside from the fact that I don't know them and they probably don't want a stranger obsessively measuring their boobs.

Around 19, I’d say. 42 now.

I don't see how most men would even find that out. Underwear is too intimate of a topic to open up about to the opposite sex.

My understanding is that some European countries have laws standardizing bra size.

Well I don't wear underwear at all already 😀

I'm sad I missed the days of girls wearing no bras. Must have been nice.

Teenager. I'm an artist. I was drawing some characters. Had to find some references.

This old.

It is well standardized around here.

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.

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.
