Mary Jane's Last Dance

I've got a good question, maybe you can help me out.

How come bras look so much better everywhere else around the world (and encompass both smaller and larger size) than in the United States?

To give you a few examples of bras around the world:

Oh sure, you can get nice bras, if your band size is 34 or 36 and you happen to be a size B or C. If you're smaller or larger than that, you've got nothing fancier than a boys' jockstrap, really.

If you're a small cup size, you've got white, tan, and soft-cup bras with little-kid prints on them. Even worse, is that often they're called "training bras." Training for what? "Real" tits? Sorry shug, god forbid I have small boobs.

If you're a larger cup size, you're pretty much delegated to grandma bras. Those awful white and tan (often soft-cup and cheaply underwired) monstrosities with very un-sexy lace that looks like it was more suited to covering a table or a frumpy chair than your tatas.

Or, if you're like one of my friends, who happens to be a small band size and a large cup size (I estimate her to be a 30F), you're fucked, basically. You either have to wear multiple sports bras at a time, or squash yourself into a size that is way too small in the cups, and yet still rides up in the back.

I thought lingerie was supposed to be nice-looking. Flirty. Feminine. Last I checked, uh, we weren't men. So we should all have something that looks nice and sexy, not something that looks like it's battle armor for Superman's nuts.

Jesus Christ, America, get with the program.
