This one’s for the ladies, but we know the gentleman will care to read for pure entertainment value.
As we’re sure you have experienced, there are few things more annoying than a poorly fitting bra. But most of us don’t have the time to go in and get measured by a professional. And besides, the whole experience is kind of awkward.
And if you’re like me, buying lingerie in person can sometimes be a bit embarrassing, so you resort to shopping online and praying it fits.
Turns out, there is an app for all of this: ThirdLove is hoping to solve the “perfect bra” problem once and for all by allowing you to measure your chest size right from your phone.
You are meant to take the photos with a tank top on and a basic, supportive bra underneath. The whole sizing process takes about five minutes and then you can get to the fun part — shopping!
The app will direct you to a gallery of beautiful lingerie that has been filtered to match your perfect size. The sizing system, however, is different from most stores, so you won’t be able to measure here and purchase elsewhere. They do, however, offer more sizes than most companies, which is great if you tend to run between sizes.
Worried about some sketchy app having photos of your girls? (We thought about that, too.) Here’s the FAQ from their website:
“Our sizing technology uses two photos to calculate your measurements, using computer vision technology. Once a photo is submitted, it is stored in our secure database. In most cases, you are the only person who will see the photos. However, if there is a problem with the image, or if we are having difficulty obtaining your precise measurements, one of our trained fit specialists may view the image in order to troubleshoot the problem. No one outside of you and the ThirdLove team will ever see your photos.”
