Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

It's either look cute and sweat to death, or be comfortable. The mom bras have it IMO.

I literally have never had a bra that fit correctly, and it fucks me up. I've told an employee at VS my size one time (as calculated by ABraThatFits) and the just told me "no it's not" and then could not find me anything that fit.

Thing is: my boobs aren't even that big?? Apparently it's a ratio thing that makes it so difficult to find?? Band size is 30/32, cup size is DDD/E. I don't want to risk ordering online and wasting money (I want to try it on!), so I'm stuck with terrible & uncomfortable fits.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh geez. The couple that I have that fit ok were from that subs calculator. The whole thing is horrible.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The sub was fantastic in validating me when I thought I was bonkers. Really wish we had more general support (HA!) communities on Lemmy.

[–] Aurora_TheFirstLight@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 months ago

I wonder if I could make it big with a bra shop that sizes well and hand mades the band size

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

Yeah, my spouse learned the hard way to ignore bra shop employees - around here, all the bras are on the floor so its easy enough to find the size you need (if it exists) without help.

That being said, once you get to E cup and higher, you are better off dealing with online retailers with good return policies.

Hey! So I actually have near the exact problem you do (30G), and I just wanted to recommend three brands that actively work for me, Natori and Chantelle! I like their unlined molded bras- they work wonders for me! Tiny band and big boob is such a pain in the ass (especially if they're lopsided)! I'm also fond of Change Bras if you're in Canada or in Europe. I tried them on at Dillard's (or Change bras when I visit Canada) and bought them second hand on depop or eBay. Tho if you're happy with funky designs you can get very lucky with clearance at places like dillards (found a bra for $10 -it's purple and orange and it's my favorite)! Amazon also has a decent try before you buy policy too. Good luck ✨

For me it's the shape rather than the size. I mean, the size too, but I'm happy with sister sizes. It's just that i always get spilling at the side and gaps in the middle. I've given up on molded cups altogether.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 32 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am annoyed that "A" isn't literally flat. Scales using the first few numbers or letters should consider leaving enough headroom to avoid atrocities such as PH000 (screwdriver) or A+++ (pre-2021 EU appliance rating).

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't know much about the European sizes other than they are a lot more granular than US sizes, which has both pluses and minuses. Makes me wonder if a braswap community here would be worthwhile.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 11 points 3 months ago

To be honest, I'm a single man and thus know nothing about them in practice, I just checked that all the scales use AA (and who knows, maybe AAA or smaller)

[–] EmilyIsTrans@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was so happy when I finally got a cup size large enough that any bras were available in stores. Still barely any cute ones, but the mum ones are more comfy anyway ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It is kinda annoying. Properly fitting bras shouldn't take a trip to a lingerie store to get a fit. And even then you might wind up with sagging or overflow. And even if the fit is right, you can wind up with a material that makes you sweat night or day.

Ultra cute bra for sale. Size xxsmall band. Cup size: yes.

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 3 months ago

Just wanted to make sure we are clear on body standards here.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I could absolutely see an artisinal, hand-painted, OOAK bra market going up.

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah like high quality stuff too you can always wear.

Bonus points if it has fans for cooling.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Like those fursuit cooling vests omgggg

[–] xilliah@beehaw.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait. That's a thing?

Teach me sensei

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

There was a Dutch (I think) fursuiter who came up with a unique cooling vest for use under the costume to prevent overheating. It was so effective & good, it ended up getting adopted for military use!

Here's an article about it: https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-a-cooling-vest-invented-by-a-furry-made-its-way-into-the-us-military

I believe it's called the EZ ~~Cooling~~ Cooldown Vest, but it may have changed names or rebranded or something.

My idea: specifically make one for use in bras.

[–] YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

I have to use unlined panache bras, all the bras I tried getting in other american brands with like foam cups didn't fit right. I'm American and used the abrathatfits calculator. I went up a band size to 36 since the original 34 band recommended was kinda tight so I'm a 36E (UK). Amazon is great for trying and returning bras. Otherwise there is nowhere else to shop locally for me besides the big corpo stores that only sell ill fitted bras. Honestly if I want to look cute I wear panache bras, otherwise I wear 2xl sports bras with the pads taken out.

Both of their clothing looks so spicy! But in a formal way ~
