Women ‘taxed’ for having big breasts

Big breasted women claim they are being discriminated against by companies which charge a ‘tit-tax’ on larger bras.

Campaigners say it is unfair that larger bras cost more than smaller ones when other items of clothing are the same cost irrespective of size.

They have now set up a Facebook page for well-endowed women to voice their outrage at stores like Marks & Spencer which adds a £2 surcharge on bras above a DD cup.

The Busts 4 Justice site reads: “Busts 4 Justice argue that the price equality that rules our outer-garments should apply to our undergarments too.

    Oh my! I’ve got nice, full breasts that many of my girlfriends would kill for. I don’t at all mind paying a mere £2 (or the Euro equivalent) for a nice, good bra that comfortable holds and presents my puppies until such time that they are set free…

    that is kind of like saying one shouldn’t pay more for a car that has more features? I understand that historically women haven’t had to pay more for larger sizes and I doubt that manufacturers will follow suit as most don’t charge more for larger sizes.

    Lori! uhhhh, duh. Yes, bigger women DO HAVE to pay more for their clothes, shoes, bra’s or whatever. This is simply due to the fact that the manufacturers have to use more material on each piece. So its not a matter of marketing, targeting larger women or that other brands “will follow suit”. They have no choice!!! More material means more charges for them, which has to be passed on to the customer.
