Freedom Is A Well Fitting Man's Bra

Updated on December 7, 2009

For many men who require brassieres, much freedom can be found in a well fitting bra. Women, and men fortunate enough not to struggle much with weight and hormonal issues might think it odd, or strange that a man might require a bra, but for the many men who have found themselves with substantial amounts of breast tissue, a bra provides just as much support and freedom for them as it does for the average woman.

Women know the value of a bra that fits well. A nice bra, fitted well, alleviates the constant downwards pressure exerted on the back, shoulders, and even neck. Women with ill fitting bras often find themselves stooping forwards to try and compensate, and men who really should be wearing bras will often similarly develop a hunched over body position.

So how does a man find a well fitting bra? Well, there are several fitting guides out there for men, but at the end of the day, trial and error are going to be your guiding lights. Why? Because bra manufacturers have always delighted in creating bras which fit in different ways. A 42 B in one style and brand may differ quite substantially from a 42 B in another style from the same brand, and again from a 42 B produced by another manufacturer. This is why lingerie departments have changing rooms that allow customers to try on lingerie before they buy it.

If you're a man requiring a bra fitting, this can be something of a challenge. Fortunately, unlike underwear, bras can be returned if they don't fit very well, so buying brassieres online, trying them on, and returning them if they don't fit is usually a viable option for the shy male bra wearer who does not wish to brave the lingerie department.

If you are suffering from excess amounts of breast tissue, I would encourage you to try a bra. You'd be surprised as to how many men wear bras, and you'd be surprised at how effective they really are at supporting the chest. If you dislike the feminine colors and lacy cuts, there are always a wide range of entirely plain black, white and beige bras to chose from at any online store or lingerie retailer or lingerie store. Women don't always want to be wearing something frilly and pretty, so there are a massive range of styles available. Don't be persuaded by lingerie billboards and Victorias' Secret catalogs into thinking that you will have to wear pink daisies if you wear a bra.

There are also a few niche specialists that create bras just for men. Some of these are based in Japan, and sizes may not fit a larger Western figure, and others are based in the West. On balance, however, a bra designed for women may be of better quality and perhaps even fit than one run up for men by people not quite qualified to design bras for men.
