I've been to war. I'm an Afghanistan veteran. I didn't cry in Afghanistan, but I've come damn close in a bra shop.

There is no one true size. Most women wear 2 or 3 different sizes depending on the brand and style of the bra.

Omg are you actually me?! I am also just shy of 28, looking at knee boobs not far down the road, though only a 34G. This morning I forgot to pack a real bra for work after the gym and had to resort to Target. Currently stuffed inside a 36DD with some lovely back pain. Yeah, bra-less is not a fucking option unless I'm…

Well, I wear one because mine are large enough to hurt from bouncing when I'm out and about doing shit. The thought of running up and down stairs without a bra... ouchie.

VS will only fit you into what they stock. No matter what size you actually are. Their job is to sell bras. If you don't fit into their range they will literally just pretend to size you. That's the 'junk' part. It's all for effect.

Obviously this would be much cooler if it just told you your measurements and then let you shop wherever you damn well pleased

When I measure my pendulous breasts I bend over to take the measurement or I lay down and take the measurement. It works for me.

The problem is that various different methods of measuring for bra size exist, and that sizes are in no way uniform across brands. If your hips are 36" around then pants that are 36" around will fit, but the variety of ways you could fill the bra out makes different boobs suited to different styles, in turn making it…

VS is pretty well known for it's bad measuring. You might find that going to a small lingerie story more helpful if you want to be resize in the future.

I was halfway through a response when I realized you must be kidding. Surely you've seen large-breasted women at some point in your life? It's actually uncomfortable for some of us to go braless if we're planning to move around at all.

Unless you're a G cup and there's no way in hell you're going out in public without strapping these suckers in. When they're this big they are not anywhere near "perky" by age 40. I love my bras. They are awesome and I will never give them up.

yes that would be wonderful if bands under 32/34 were readily available. There are more and more aps and websites and stores out there trying to solve the what size to buy problem when I think the real problem is that the right sizes don't exist in stores.

Ever since I figured out my "correct" size, or, more accurately, my "close to correct" size, it's been mostly good. Mine aren't too hard to fit. BUT. I think I would still pay quite a bit if I could get some custom made just for me. I don't think anyone actually has both breasts exactly the same size, and the range of…

I love how NASA was smart enough to come up with a way to help women find the right size. Expect the real problem is there aren't enough sizes for most women in US sizing, most women aren't symmetrical (one boob might be larger, or one boob might be higher or both). As well as all the other things that have been taken…

Well as long as you're sure about it!

I agree with you, doubly. I am also conflicted because I enjoy burlesque, but if I'm being honest w/ myself of course that style of dance fits with women being seen as decorative objects.

Yes I have cut my own hair in a state of mental stress, and I've had my hair changed drasically in these times as well. Does this make me shallow, or just trying to make a drastic change?

Obviously he thought it would be really run and liked that style of dance. But what is implicit in "that style of dance"? Why are there no male backup dancers here? Why are the women wearing little gold outfits and heels?

WHO HAS THIS MUCH MONEY?!

I am the only one buying the cheaper of the two bags of incredibly cheap lentils by the end of the month?!
