In our daily life, wearing bras is a privilege for women. However, in November 2008, a Japanese mall launched a male bra, selling more than 300 pieces in two weeks at a price of 2,800 yen (equivalent to US$30). After the sale of
underwear also caused heated debate on the Internet, with more than 8,000 people discussing the benefits of men wearing bras. "After waiting for so long, I finally have a men's bra. I like this tight feeling!" This is what some Japanese men say about men's bras!
But more people will wonder what the use of men’s bras is. Isn’t it really to satisfy the perverted psychology of some people?
men's bra
In fact, men's bra is not a product developed to satisfy certain perverted desires. Not only that, it may also allow many men to avoid embarrassing scenes in their lives. However, not all men are suitable for wearing. Generally speaking, there are about two types of people who choose to wear men's bras.
Some obese men may have breasts due to male breast development. They may choose surgery or wear men's bras directly to cover up this feminine characteristic. Because bras can support their breasts and flatten them, visually making the breasts less prominent.
In addition, many athletes will also choose male bras. For example, some marathon athletes in often have to run continuously for several hours in a competition. During the running process, the clothes will also sway up and down, and the skin will rub a lot with the clothes and will damage the skin.
Especially the most sensitive chest is more severely rubbed, gradually breaking and bleeding, staining the clothes with blood and causing pain. not only will they feel uncomfortable, but they will be embarrassed even when they see them. At this time, male bras are equivalent to the effect of breast patches.
Of course, it is not just athletes, but some men have sensitive breasts. They may feel uncomfortable if they only wear shirts. If they wear bras, they can reduce the feeling of discomfort and concentrate on working and studying.
And during the movement, the bra can also support some male larger breasts to firmly fix the position, which also helps to relieve breast pain. In addition, some men may secrete a large amount of sweat, and the bra can absorb a certain amount of sweat to prevent the sweat from being stuffy and getting prickly heat .
In addition to private use, male bras are also used in some formal occasions. For example, some sports clubs can conduct real-time assessments of their physical condition through male bras worn by athletes. Because a tracking device can be installed inside is similar to a sports bra with a heart rate monitor, it can detect heart rate , travel distance, fatigue degree and other indicators.
Finally, some men wear male bras to correct their figure. On the one hand, men who are keen on fitness and pursue a perfect body will pay attention to their chest muscles, so they may choose padded bras to highlight their chest muscles, shape their perfect figures, and enhance their self-confidence.
On the other hand, there are also many men who choose to wear orthodontic men's bras. After men wear this product, they will feel their spine being stretched and their bodies are tightened and protected.
Some underwear stores located in front of Tokyo's Shrine were originally only provided services for women. However, as the concept of male underwear gradually became accepted by the Japanese, they also began to accept male customers, and about 30 men in buy exclusive bras every year. The owner of the shop, Kazuko Hino, once said: "First of all, your posture will improve. By tightening your chest, you should be able to clearly see the lines of your body."
Some Italian men who have used this product also said that they have a feeling of being protected; American men believe that they have a special feeling after wearing it, and they can no longer live without it after wearing it...
Of course, some men do not support the use of male bras, and they sneer at this kind of male bra. It is not appropriate to think that men wear this "unkind" style, which is simply sensational, and this controversy still exists until now.
Speaking of this, does anyone think that men's bras and women's bras are very similar in functions, and may be similar in appearance. Can the two be interchanged?
What are the similarities and differences between men's bras and women's bras?
Indeed, men's bras and There are still similarities between women's bras. Many men's bras already have many colors and styles. The underwear sold by Japanese retailers mentioned above was already pink, black and white in 2008. What's more, many men now have floral and lace inside, and various bras such as bows, which are basically the same as women's bras.
But from the essence There are still very different tops. In terms of size, women's bras have two sizes of upper bust and lower bust. Due to body shape, size and upper bust have nothing to do with men. Men can choose two types. One is to wear them to create a perfect breast shape, and the other is to choose a bra that looks flat on the breast to cover up the embarrassment.
In fact, like men's bras, There are more and more products that cannot distinguish gender boundaries in Japan, such as men's high heels, men's stockings, and even men's sanitary napkins. Among them, men's sanitary napkins are more popular and bring greater convenience to men.
