Men of Lemmy, how old were you when you found out that bra cup sizes are not standardized in the slightest? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

It's so bad that my fiancée has some bras that say she's a B cup and others that says she's a D cup. In order to go bra shopping, you have to actually try them on to find out if they fit.

If I had to try on underwear to see if they fit, I might not bother with underwear at all!

The same time I learned it was like that for all women's clothing. So about 18

I always figured it was like pants where a 34 waist from company A wouldn't fit like one from B.

No clothes shit in my country is standard so why would the bra's be?

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.

@ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling I don't remember exactly, but I was well into adulthood.

@ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling I follow a bunch of Lemmy communities; I love how we can all interact together from our individual corners of the #Fediverse.

Honestly, same. I've got a Mastodon account that follows some of the smaller communities.
