When you don’t live and breathe bras like bra store owners and bra fitters, the terminology around bras can be exhausting.
That’s why we put together this handy bra glossary of the terminology you may encounter when looking for bras and lingerie.
Much like sizing (which is expansive!) the size of the lexicon around bras and lingerie is equally expansive.
Lets face it, most people do not spend their free time thinking about bras, but when they need one and decide to research them online, they can often find themselves more confused than when they started.
Hopefully, most of them give up trying to unravel the bra mysteries on their own and head to their local bra fitting store for a fitting and advice. It truly is the best option! After all most people just want to wear a comfortable bra and be done with it.
For those of you who don’t high-tail it to your local bra fitting store and try to decipher the descriptions you might find online, hopefully this bra glossary can provide some help.
By no means is it an exhaustive glossary of lingerie terms, and we will continue to expand it, but it is a good start.
Something missing? Let us know and we’ll get on it!
This is just another piece of information we felt necessary to put out there as we work hard to become a reputable site on all things bras and lingerie.
Enjoy!
