I cut a check when the boob owner says it's boob maintenance time. Why do I need to know anything about sizing?

It’s not that they’re not standardized, there’s a thing called sister sizes
Here https://www.sizechart.com/brasize/sistersize/index.html
Your actual size is the lowest sister size

News to me
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.
Maybe for friends but not for spouses.
Maybe for you but not for others.
I talk to my husband about this stuff because it's just funny to watch him react to it.
Oof, yeah I was about 23 and wanted to help my now wife to get some of the correct size, which was an almost impossible ordeal. Wanna hear the story? Fine:
Taking the two measures was the easy part (and doing it again during her period, because of course the size changes during the cycle, anything else would be too easy). Then I read that the cup size is the absolute difference between bust and band measurement no matter the band measurement. Furthermore since the material is elastic, for a good support, the band should be a tad below the measurement*.
So far so good, went to the store and there are only A-D cups everywhere, E if you're lucky. So basically no matter what exact measure they take between the cups, you're ok if you're thin and have small or somewhat big breasts, or you're a bit fuller and have tiny breasts. Everyone else is automatically screwed. If you're lucky enough to fall into those categories you then have to try on so many to sift through different positioning and forms of breasts until you find one that is comfortable. We had to order some all the way from the UK because it wasn't possible to get anything coming near the correct size here.
*women who wore normal cloth bras before and continued wearing the same size have felt that the elastic hasn't made things better necessarily. Can't find the source for that one right now though.
I never knew per se, I just assumed that like with all women's clothing sizes are a convenient fiction
Right now. I just tuned out all the complaining and assumed that it was a skill issue.
When I was 25, my girlfriend complained about buying the same bra, same size, same material, same URL, from the same company, on their website, 2 years apart. The first ones fit really well, the second ones didn't fit at all.
Meanwhile, there's a shoe that I buy a pair of every few years. They release a new "version" about once per year, but the fit has been consistent, so I'm over a decade, and 6 pairs, into my purchase of them, with no problems.
It's wild to me that people just buy the same shoe over and over. I'm not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination; I just have one, maximum two, pair(s) of footwear per temperature slice, and I don't even have any formal ones.
But even I would want something new, even if my old pair had served me well.
Shoes are the most obnoxious things to shop for. Buying what you know makes total sense.
Yeah, I hate shopping for shoes. Getting shoes that fit well is hard and trying different shoes sucks.
But even I would want something new,
They're new shoes, not my old ratty ones
What can I say I found out at 14 that all-blacked converse hi-tops look good on me and so why bother changing
It used to be that any DC skating shoe size 12 for me. Could just pick a model and leave the store. Then they became a fashion brand rather than a skateboard brand and suddenly it was made for tiny model feet.
A got older with an older body I just get the Bondi8 for summer and Kaha for winter as HOKA does wide and quarter sizes.
Also, sometimes different colours of fabric fit differently in the same bra size.
Most women don't wear bras that fit.
That inconsistency is not exclusive to women's undergarments... I bought a half-dozen of the same American Apparel hoodie in different colors... very different fits.
Yes! Also in panties. Usually black, for some reason beyond me, is tighter than any other color both for bras and panties.
Good thing guy underwear doesn't give one fuck about the shape of the penis. They either mush it into the crutch to defeature the shlong, or they let the whole thing just flap around under loose shorts.
discovering saxx was life changing for me, good underwear gives you a comfortable dong pouch
Just get a small penis. Everything fits fine.
Oh this old thing? I can't even see it. Without my glasses 🤓. All you gotta do is think of the ugliest person and it goes away during the day.
The new president elect works alright but it's fucking annoying when he's talking. I rather think of Rudy. LOL.
You can get underwear with a better shaped crouch. I highly recommend it.
