One of the reasons so many women are walking around in bad bras is because, just like beer, lingerie ads have traditionally been targeted towards men. The focus has been on sexiness not function. https://t.co/AT6ezaifzV

Saturday.
The National Women’s Council of Ireland tackles the scourge of uncomfortable ‘sexy bras’ aimed at men.
At least someone had the courage to say it.
It’s 2019 – we need to talk about why most bras are still so terrible (The Guardian)

These ads must have passed me by. I don’t drink or wear a bra.
When I get home I’m going to rip my wife’s bra off.. it’s killing me..
Women drinking pints?
From what I have seen of Mrs Grime’s bras a lot of them are not aimed at men
Mother or wife?
Lacy bra cups should be a mortal sin. There’s only so much chafing razzers can cope with.
Well now I’m definitely going to hell
What percentage of them are bought by men?
Like, is the marketing working on their target market?
I was out one night and ran into a lingerie party for the staff at a large department store. They told me that all the fancy high end stuff, agent provocateur etc, was bought exclusively by men. Victoria Secrets are 50/50. M&S mostly women and tired husbands, still buying the wrong size.
Diddies are overrated.
i feel sorry for you
I feel sorry for your bass player.
..and some are over inflated.
Ah here
I’ll wear what I like
Ideally without someone telling me its bad for me
Try getting in an’ out of one’ah those Sports Bras ffs
I reckon they cause more Rotator Cup/ Neck Stain / Dislocation injuries in Women than a bad day at the driving range
And they’re the ugliest things in the laundry basket
and not that I’d know, but I suspect they’re a leading passion killer
You know this is the same as the reusing water bottle carry on Brudder B was at last week
Ye’re all just inventing shy____ now
The Frillier the Better lads
‘er indoors went for a bra fitting years (and years) ago.
Always reckoned it was one of the most beneficial services she ever availed of.
Of course once I realised there was such an occupation, I tendered a revised CV to several stores but never heard back from them :(
Seems they discriminate against men?
Breaking News: National Women’s Council of Ireland says “It’s all the men’s fault”
Lolz
A good policy is to never read any article that begins with the words “We need to talk about…”
If I have ever said the €700,000 of taxpayer funding we give each year to the National Women’s Council of Ireland (90%+ of their total income) is a complete and total waste, or that their director Ellen O’Malley Dunlop is a total waste of space, then the above tweet has utterly changed my mind. Give them more of our money, I say and maybe buy Ellen a comfier swivel arm-chair.
Also, thongs? What were men thinking of at all, the bowzies.
Having little to no boobage to speak of, I don’t think I can really comment except to say:
That feeling when you take your bra off after a particularly long day is truly wonderful. Better than a nice glass of red and a good feed.
I’m really going to have to pay more attention.
I read the last word here as “feel”
(Seriously).
OMG. Me too!
I read that as “a good feel”.
Ha snap!
True that Mill
But – and tis all ahead of ya girl
That day will come when you have your special the bra is off moment
only to realise that you’ve grown into Anne Widdecombe
and that special moment is gone forever
I just roared with laughter V. Thanks for the good guffaw. Much needed.
Just make the most of it while you can Mill
‘tis all true I tell ye. Cross my heart.
In fairness, the Irish Male has cornered the Moob Market a long time ago.
If you don’t want to wear a bra, don’t wear a bra
I won’t mind at all, I assure you
The idea that women wearing a wrong bra or bad fitting one is somehow the men’s fault is ridiculously funny, in fairness.
Men would have absolutely no problem if women stopped wearing bras altogether.
