The other day, while scrolling through endless information feeds on social networks, I accidentally came across an advertisement for a men’s bra. The first reaction is laughter and bewilderment. Well, really, why do men need this miracle of a woman’s wardrobe? What should they hide in it? And then I thought about it. If someone created such men's underwear, then there is a demand for it. I am a curious young lady, so I began to scour the Internet in search of information on the topic. And the results of my research turned out to be quite interesting.
By the way! The term “bra” is exclusively for women, so we will call the described item of clothing simply a bra.
What is this miracle of Japanese thought?
As it turned out, we owe the appearance of the men's bra to the Japanese. In general, the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun are famous for their strange and sometimes ridiculous inventions. A facial expander, an underarm scratcher, wasabi lip balm and earrings made of beetles are just a few of the hundreds of items that are incomprehensible to Europeans that can be found on the shelves of Japanese stores.Many of them are not in demand, which cannot be said about unusual men's underwear.
For the first time, she challenged the conservatives Kahei Oyasumi Bra is the author of the first bra for men. And she made the right decision, because on the very first day the product arrived in the Wishroom online store, more than 300 people wished to become the owners of an unusual new product.
What is such a wardrobe item for the stronger half of humanity? Visually, it is not much different from women's sports bras, but it does not have push-ups, wires or other devices for breast correction.. Regardless of the model, the size of men's underwear will always be zero, because this item, although externally similar to women's, is created for slightly different purposes.
Why would a man wear it?
Defending the right to exist of their invention, the creators of unusual underwear claim that in the near future such bras will completely migrate into the men's wardrobe, since wearing a bra in women provokes breast cancer. I, of course, strongly doubt that ladies are capable of massively abandoning their feminine weapon - beautiful lingerie, but I fully admit the idea that men will flaunt it on an equal basis with us.
In fact, like this a bra can be a salvation for many men. For example, for athletes who often complain that during long exercises a synthetic T-shirt rubs against the nipples, causing a lot of inconvenience. According to the creators, wearing special underwear will help eliminate the problem and prevent sagging of the developed pectoral muscles in the future.
A men's bra will also help who are overweight and lead a sedentary lifestyle. Unfortunately, the lack of regular physical activity negatively affects a man’s body - his stomach grows, his muscles weaken, and his breasts increase due to subcutaneous fat and sag. Wearing underwear will help to visually hide imperfections and avoid the development of complexes in the stronger half.
But most of all they will be glad to see such an innovation in their wardrobe. people suffering from gynecomastia. It is psychologically difficult for a man of traditional orientation to cope with the appearance of female breasts, which can grow up to 2-3 sizes. Of course, surgery can eliminate the defect, but not everyone is ready for such radical measures. Therefore, wearing a bandage bra will be a good alternative: the breasts will not stand out under clothes, physical and psychological discomfort will disappear.
Reference! Gynecomastia is an enlargement of the mammary glands in men due to hypertrophy of glandular tissue.
Leave the vulgarities
I admit, I have reconsidered my attitude towards men's bras. Yes, of course, the subject is unusual and unusual, but you still shouldn’t treat it as something ridiculous and perverted. After all, in this case we are not talking about a man trying to feel like a woman by dressing up in lace pantaloons and corsets.
A men's bra is a completely functional thing, created taking into account the physiology of representatives of the stronger half of humanity. So, I think it should be treated like any other item of clothing. And should we, women, scold men for trying to move bras into the “unisex” section? After all, we borrowed a lot more things from their wardrobe!
