A comedian from New Zealand has perfectly captured the struggles of finding bras for larger breasts in a candid and hilarious video that has gone viral. In her clip, she addresses the all-too-familiar frustrations faced by women who wear larger cup sizes and are tired of being forced to choose between unattractive options and inflated prices.
Sophie Ngata, the voice behind the blog Chronicles of a Curvy Woman, recently shared her bra shopping experience at a local department store. In the video, she highlights the irritating reality of being a double-F cup wearer. “Why do stores think we want to wear such ugly bras?” she exclaims, referencing the uninspiring designs often marketed to those with larger busts. Her sentiment resonates with many who feel similarly.
Ngata holds up a bra designed for her size and describes it as “absolutely hideous,” a sentiment that many curvy women can relate to. Finding stylish bras that fit well is akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. She points out that many women with larger breasts desire something more stylish than the boring black or beige options that seem to dominate the market.
As she explains to a reporter from Buzzfeed, “For years, I’ve been forced to either squeeze into smaller sizes or settle for unappealing options because my budget was tight.” She questions why she should pay a premium for a bra that looks like it belongs in a retirement home, while smaller sizes are often much cheaper. “Just because I have larger breasts doesn’t mean I should have to shell out $80 to $100 for something that looks like a hammock!”
Her experience is all too relatable. The frustration of scouring rack after rack of cute bras adorned with bows and lace—only to find that they stop at a C cup—is disheartening. It’s challenging to feel sexy when the only options available resemble something your grandmother might wear.
Shopping online for attractive bras often leads to exorbitant prices, and in-store options can be just as daunting. Even when retailers like Victoria’s Secret carry larger sizes, those selections are often buried deep in the drawers, making it nearly impossible for women to find something that fits and flatters.
Retailers and manufacturers need to take note. There’s a vast community of women, including Ngata and many others with even bigger sizes, who want to feel confident and chic without breaking the bank. It’s not too much to ask for stylish, affordable lingerie that fits.
