A Guys Guide: How to Buy a Bra for Your Girlfriend or Wife

*I’m not about to call myself a bra expert. After all, I’m a guy; I don’t need a bra. I rarely pay attention to their size, shape, or cost. But recently, when I went Christmas shopping for my girlfriend, my bra ignorance haunted me.My girlfriend had told me a number of times about a bra. I remember her mentioning one brand in particular, a brand that was comfortable and had a sexy design. But I couldn’t remember the name of the brand.I visited a lingerie store. I browsed. I saw many, many bras. They were colorful, but beyond that I couldn’t really see any difference between them.A saleswoman approached. She asked me what I was looking for, my girlfriend’s size, and if I had a particular brand in mind. I gave an embarrassing, ignorant answer.”She’s a little taller than you. Maybe a bit bigger,” I Sell House Fast said.The saleswoman shook her head, smiled consolingly. I left, but not before promising I’d be back with more information.I sat down at the computer and researched bras. My first step was to find the brand my girlfriend wanted. But I also wanted to understand how bras affected women’s posture, what made a bra comfortable. Before long, though, my curiosity got the best of me. I started reading about the history of bras, their place in fashion history.I have to admit it. I found the story interesting.Women wore different types of undergarments as far back as the 1400′s. The 1500′s witnessed the advent of the corset, a garment that elevated the breasts. As time passed, bras evolved into girdles, a garment that restrained a woman’s stomach and suspended her breasts from her upper torso and shoulders.
