I have 28J boobs – all I want to do is buy a cute bra, but the sales associates bring me ugly ‘grandma’ designs
A CONTENT producer has despaired at the lack of choice in bra design for large-chested women.
She has 28J boobs and has become increasingly frustrated that sales associates only ever bring her what she calls “grandma” styles.
It’s a situation Jen Warnes (@itsjenwarnes) has reluctantly become familiar with.
Over 234,000 follow her on TikTok, where she routinely “reviews for small band and large cup sizes.”
Her exasperation at the lack of choice for women with her body shape is shared by a lot of women.
The comments of her post were full of other ladies lamenting granny bras.
One felt very strongly: “It’s so tragic how the longest time I was a teenager wearing grandma bras because of this injustice.”
In her post, Jen was having a bit of fun, but there was a serious undertone.
“When you are trying to find cute bras as a G+ cup and the sales associate keeps bringing you ugly beige grandma bras,” she said.
Their refrain she had heard a hundred times: “We have few options here in your size.”
Holding the offending beige granny bra, she tossed it away: “Get the f**k away from me.”
Commenters shared their stories and they were fed up too.
“Story of my life and I’m only E,” said one person.
A second wrote: “That was me today. They had such beautiful bras in fun colors [but] they bought me bras in white, black, grey, beige, and an ugly flower print. The style was so grandma-like I could cry.”
“I’m about to wear the ill-fitting bras again just to get some cheaper and better-looking bras,” was the reaction of a third.
