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!

I'm gay, so current age I guess

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.

Now but I had my suspicions considering the trend with women's clothing.

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

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.

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

Well I don't wear underwear at all already 😀

Username checks out

Around 19, I’d say. 42 now.

It is well standardized around here.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

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.

Europe, my beloved...

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