If you were not aware, there are a whole lot of women, myself included, who can pretty much only buy bras made in Europe, usually Poland or the UK. This is not because we are fancy, but because American bra companies are extremely limited in size range. Economically, shoving as many women as possible into cheaply made 34/36 Bs and Cs is a lot more profitable than carrying well-constructed bras in a wide range of sizes. So if you have a small band size and a large cup size, Victoria’s Secret will only ever hurt you.
. . . Unfortunately for me, they were down to their last two. Not just two styles, literally the last two 32GG bras in the entire store. The girl in the store told me that they weren’t going to be able to order those sizes anymore because … they all come from Europe and no one can pay the tariffs.
Shit.
Then, yesterday, I was looking at the r/ABraThatFits subreddit and saw an announcement that one popular site, AmpleBosom.com (not a porn site, sorry!), will no longer be shipping to the US. Another popular site, Understance, has also paused shipping to the US. Another site, Bravissimo, will only be selling products “unaffected by tariffs.”
Free the titties!
Freeing the tiddy through tariffs /j
That sucks to hear, though; if you have friends overseas or nearby, couldn’t hurt to ask them?
Really? Just as I start growing a pair myself?
‘yes boobs are anti-woke’
I can’t possibly roll my eyes harder.
A useless bit of trivia I have in my brain is that actress Jenette Goldstein (From Aliens etc) is now managing her own lingerie boutique called Jenette Bras in Los Angeles, California, known for its slogan “The alphabet starts at D”. You might give them a visit or call.
If you have friends in Europe, maybe ask them to buy for you and ship them to you declared as gifts. It won’t be cheap, but if it’s the only option…
I’d argue that Trump and his megachauvs’ behaviors are canceling boobs more than anything else. They call it a “loneliness epidemic”.
