Right now, although I'm not at all surprised.
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'm gay, so current age I guess
Just now
They're definitely defined differently between some countries. Japanese cup sizes are different to US ones
My understanding is that some European countries have laws standardizing bra size.
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.
Now but I had my suspicions considering the trend with women's clothing.
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.
Wut
Europe, my beloved...
This old.
However old i was when I first heard my mom complain about bra's
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
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.
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.
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.
I talk to my husband about this stuff because it's just funny to watch him react to it.
Maybe for friends but not for spouses.
Maybe for you but not for others.
