"This is Fiachi!"
"Uh, I think it's pronounced 'knock-off?'"

[Aethien]

Plenty fancy stuff there but they ask more than $100 for a thong so you won't be tempted to buy anything.

I fail to fathom how companies can charge prices inversely proportional to the mass of the garment being sold. It's like devil-economics.

For what it worth, I think they charge €800 or so for a corset so they're doing ok in that regard.

Still, how or why someone would spend so much money on so little fabric is mind boggling.

[lepetitfromage]

I still have trouble coming to terms with the price of underwear in general- it's so tiny!

[bainidhe_dub]

I got new socks the other day - I couldn't pass up all those colors for only $8!

[TRVA123]

I've just been reading about bra fittings... I might have been wearing the wrong sized bra for years! Imma try on some bras that are actually in my size.

[nekowafer]

Here's a decent bra article if you want more info:

[TRVA123]

haha, I read that about a week ago, that is what has started my bra research!

[nekowafer]

Awesome.

[Metope]

Jesus christ, I followed that thing and ended up calculating that my actual bra size is a UK 30E, or US 30DDD/F. What the actual fuck, I've always gone for A cups... when I was wearing bras, I mean. I haven't worn a real bra in maybe two years. This is kind of a mindfuck.

I had a similar thing happen actually... 

[Metope]

Yeah I mean, I'd kind of given up on the whole bra thing, I never found a comfortable one, and I figured that hey, I don't actually need this stuff since my boobs are quite small. I knew the size was off, but not THAT much off, this is so weird! I've been wearing bandeaus and wireless bras (bralettes? Is that what they're called?) for a couple years, but now I'm kind of intrigued to find out what it would be like to wear a proper bra that actually fits. Not wearing a bra is very comfortable, and I like the way it looks, so whatever. Maybe at some point in the future when/if I feel unhappy about the way I look, I'll try.

[GarandMarine]

LADIES! Let the grand tournament begin! Answer the question that males everywhere might heed the results. On your male counterpart if you indeed prefer this option in the bedroom (if not, please disregard this poll and flip to section seven, page 5912 of the human being manual for the correct documentation) what form of undergarment do you prefer?

A. Briefs aka the classic tighty whitey
B. Boxers aka room to breath
C. Boxer Briefs - aka the compromise
D. Something exotic
E. Commando

[nekowafer]

Boxer briefs! They look fantastic on almost everyone, non-boys included.

[Welu]

Boxer briefs for the reasons Neko said, although boxers look comfy.

I'm getting a thing soon that I may show off in this thread.

[Papersatan]

Don't care, you won't be in them very long.

[Valdís]

Yeah, boxer briefs IMO.

Don't care, you won't be in them very long.

But what about pre-not-in-them snuggle fondling! You don't go straight to that!

[nekowafer]

Welu: yay!

Kat: YES
Though I might have sort of a thing for seeing a turned-on guy in sort of tight underoos.

[Welu]

I like turned-on guys in jeans. Although they have to be button style if you wanna go for half-clothed snuggles.

(I'm typing this while being drove to the airport by my partner's parents.)

[Masterpiece]

I had undie snuggles with my then-gf as foreplay once. Lots of rubbing and touching and so on. When we finally got to take em off, she complained that the raw fabric had rubbed her lady parts the wrong way and that even touch was hurting her, making it impossible for me to fulfill the deed.
Come to think of it, I guess she just didn't feel like it that day.

[GarandMarine]

Score, seems my underwear of choice is reigning supreme, boxer briefs look good and they're very functional

[Thrillho]

Boxer briefs are the perfect balance of comfort and support for the nuts. And they make your balls look good.

[TRVA123]

I honestly couldn't care what sort of underwear my sex partners wear... it doesn't stay on them long enough to matter.

[nekowafer]

Well when you live with a partner, you get to see them in their underwear a lot. Boyfriend wears super baggy boxers that are far too short and then he hikes them up too high. So they're more silly than sexy - not that he should be trying to look sexy for me all the time.

The ex looks FANTASTIC in boxer briefs oh my god. He has an amazing ass that is made even more amazing wearing them.

[Zingoleb]

i wonder if you can tuck in boxer briefs...

[nekowafer]

I guess if they're tight enough? You can also get boyshort type panties that look like boxer briefs and they are adorable.

[Valdís]

Hm.. I think they might end up with a gap by the start of the legs, though, which might mess it up? Just from not sticking to that point, but continuing down?

[Zingoleb]

can someone explain to me what that last post is trying to convey

[nekowafer]

Do you mean they'd be a little baggy in the crotch? If not, I am lost.

[Valdís]

A bit of looser cloth where panties often end due to changing directions? I don't know what to call that joint.

(click to show/hide)

Like how those pull straight in, but the ones below have a bit of a bend?

Just a random thought when it comes to them assisting with it, not that one couldn't still do it. *Shrugs*

[Zingoleb]

the trick is to always wear underwear two sizes too small

[TRVA123]

Jesus christ, I followed that thing and ended up calculating that my actual bra size is a UK 30E, or US 30DDD/F. What the actual fuck, I've always gone for A cups... when I was wearing bras, I mean. I haven't worn a real bra in maybe two years. This is kind of a mindfuck.

Yeah, I went from a 36C to a 34 F/FF

I bought two bras in my size two days ago, and they make me look amazing! and no back pain!

Probably the best way to go is to visit a store that caters to different sizes and try on some bras, make a note of the bras that you liked that fit you so you can look for them on sale later/online. A good bra store will not use the Band size +4 measurement system, and will carry band sizes 28+ and cup sizes at least through J.

[GarandMarine]

I am learning so much about bras from this thread. I have no use for that information what so ever, but it's still interesting.

[nekowafer]

I'm sure we could get you measured for a nice 44-A

[GarandMarine]

Eh bigger then that probably, I have a barrel chest. Though since I stopped doing heavy weights I'm down to a pony keg from a full keg.

[nekowafer]

On a socky note

My friend Chris (skinny little man) will be getting thigh high socks and this blows my mind

Basically more people need to wear thigh highs I think they would look amazing

[Zingoleb]

oh my god elesia you will have to post pics YOU WILL HAVE TO POST PICS OF THAT BOY

[nekowafer]

yes ma'am!

[Papersatan]

A bit of looser cloth where panties often end due to changing directions? I don't know what to call that joint.

Is gusset the word you are looking for?

[lepetitfromage]

Ok, I'm back on the bra thing again because what in the actual fuck is going on with my bras/boobs?? I know we covered this on page one but waaaaaahhhhhh. I was going to put this in Vitriolic Letters but I think it's too Boob-y for that.

Dear Whoever Decided That Bra Sizing Needed To Be Such a Huge Pain in the Ass,

You suck.

I thought I was wearing the right size. So I didn't bother to read that Epbot article until a few days ago. It led (naturally) to me reading for a few hours about how bras are supposed to fit, where x goes, how to adjust y so that z doesn't happen & how you're supposed to put them on (I always though "Backwards" was the answer to that lol).

Apparently, my bands are too big and my cups are too small. Could have fooled me! BUT, the "gore" never lies flat. I have literally NEVER had this happen with any of my bras. I never considered that I might be wearing the wrong size, I just assumed that my boobs were abnormally heavy.  I've only discovered that it's an issue because the underwire started ripping through the last bra I bought for 45 freaking dollars. According to one bra sizer, I should be wearing a 34FF and/or H (!?!) using the same sizer but a different method of measuring, I get a 34K (WHAT?).

I tried the sizer @ VS's website and apparently, I have sized out of them. Even online. 

My question is this: for any of you who have tried the sizing guide on Reddit (linked from Epbot), did you bend over to measure or measure standing up?


HALP! I want a bra that I don't hate!

[nekowafer]

It says to bend over at the waist to measure, but to measure again standing up and average the two if your boobs are particularly "pendulous". I averaged the two and the size made more sense. I'm thinking you should try it both ways, though. This method won't give you your exact size, it just gets you closer to what you should be wearing.

[Welu]

I keep meaning to remeasure myself using those methods but it's hard enough getting my current size and I'm scared of what it will be.

[lepetitfromage]

.....ok, so then I should be wearing a 34J. I'm in a bit of disbelief.



YIKES.

I'm torn between finding something that actually fits or just making friends with my newly naked under wires.

[TRVA123]

I went from a 36C to a 34F/G. the 36C bras would give me terrible backaches, which has disappeared with my new bras. and my boobs look a million times better.

here is there list of offline retailers, it needs to be updated (the bra shop that they said was closest to me is no longer open.) but I think most of the data is accurate.

[Thrillho]

and my boobs look a million times better.

I demand proo-BANNED

[nekowafer]

Banned AND beaten up by your girlfriend.

[Thrillho]

I'm allowed to look, just can't touch.

Now show me your bu-*BANNED*

[Papersatan]

Same here. 
My problem with the "wear the right size" system, is that I can't find bras in my "right" size.   

Right now I wear a US 44 H because it is the best size I can easily find. I need a new bra soon though, so I thought lemme see what it thinks...


That calculator puts me at a UK 46JJ  averaged or 46KK bent only.
That is a US 46N or 46P.
n or p
 If I stick with my 44 band size (because I am inbetween)  I have a US cup size of O or M
I've never even seen those sizes for sale.

With some searching I  found a 46N online... Still considering if I want to pay $50 to see if it makes a difference though.

[Loki]

I just stumbled into this thread for the first time ever and there are so many letters and numbers already.



It would probably be funny if I was drunk; alas, there is no beer.

[Welu]

I measured myself. I've been wearing 36/38E and seems I'm a 38G or 38FF if I average the measurements.
