cup size

We went shopping for underwear ... it used to be that bras would come in sizes A, B, C and rarely you would find a size D - not that I am against a wider range of sizes. We were looking for a bra with no wires or padding. Believe it or not there we no size A's, and this is not just in one store. As if by default people who are a size A should have a wired or padded bra, I guess because everyone knows that a size A is too small!
To my surprise the D, DD and DDD sizes were about the only ones with no padding or wire. It can't be that suddenly all the size A's had decided to wear padded bras, it can only be that like all else we are stuck with a certain silly mind set as to how something should be, the new standard forces some to go above and beyond to achieve what is an acceptable image.
