Men with gynecomastia who review bras on seller's websites

[gotgyne]

If I look for bras on the internet, meanwhile I notice more and more men who have gynecomastia and write reviews on bras.

Like here for the Rago longline bra

or here for the Triumph Doreen longline bra

I value, that men also are beginning to write reviews for the bras they like. But I think often it depends on the owner of the shop if such reviews are published. Some of them seem to have very cut and dried opinions, i.e. severe prejudices.

More than a year ago I wrote a review on the bluegreen Doreen bra (not the longline one, but the normal model), which I like very much on the website of a German mail order company. It was not published, although it was written in decent language, only telling the facts (gynecomastia) and my need to wear a bra. Well, if such companies don't like to get more men as customers, they may do such nonsense.

I have found when inquiring if a store will fit men with gynecomastia, I have several who have either didn't respond or were quite nasty in response. But I have also has some very nice responses as well and those are the shops I give my money too. I had one local shop respond that men are not even allowed in their shop and if a woman brings a man with her, he is asked to remain outside. I had to wonder how that shop stays in business?!

The shop I shop at now, the lady who owns it is most accommodating to me and treats me the same way she would any female customer. There is a shop in another town that I shop on line with who knows I am a male with gynecomastia and they have been very accommodating as well. They act like they want to help over making money, which they do because they are not off putting the customer.

In the UK the small independent lingerie shops are really struggling but some still refuse to accept male custom. Perhaps they think that we are all perverts looking for a thrill. While I now enjoy having breasts and want to look after them, I would never have chosen to have them in the first place. Fortunately I have never had a problem in Mark's and Spencer, John Lewis and other department stores.

Every shop should be glad getting new customers. I can understand that some women's lingerie shops don't want to serve male customers if there are still female customers around. But it is always possible to make special arrangements for males, be it before opening, be it after closing in the evening. But refusing to serve male customers in general is clearly discrimination.

Everyone with breasts regardless of gender should have access to appropriate breast care and properly fitted bras/support garments without prejudice or discrimination.  Changing cubicles with solid doors are becoming the norm in many shops and that helps all of us feel safe.

I will call before I go or go at the end of the day to stay away from other customers. Some women don't feel safe when a man is shopping for bras at the same time they are so the last thing I want is to cause a shop to lose customers because of me.

Thank you for sharing those reviews. What Wayne and William wrote was appropriate and helpful.  There were a couple men who wore their bras with breast forms, so those reviews don’t really apply to us here because we have no need of breasts forms since we fill the cups of our bras with our own breasts

Agreed and I think a shop has every right to want to make their main customer base feel comfortable.

I am a staunch advocate of men writing reviews on the bras they wear. I believe that the more people see that men are wearing bras, regardless of the reason, the sooner it will become a non-issue. So far, I have only purchased one bra online and that one came from Walmart. I usually purchase them in person and the saleslady's know me.

Anyway, I, for one, will make it a point to write a review the next time I buy a bra online.
