Reading through "bra" searches I ran into this picture of a boob model, Jordan Carver (nsfw).

In an unofficial blog they're showing pictures of her displaying her real bra size, in the picture she's wearing a 32HH bra and a measuring tape around her bust at 101cm. In the picture you can clearly see how does the bra does not fit her as the center of it is like an inch away from her chest!

The sad thing is that this is not the first time I've seen this, and many boob models are in serious need for better bras, and it could even be better for their business as they'll end up with smaller bands and bigger cups :?

I really liked this article at KnickersBlog about smaller bra sizes.

It's not something you hear a lot about, but it's interesting how most small cups are always padded bras. Alison writes about different alternatives and struggles when trying to find smaller cupped bras

Now, that seems a little extreme!

It's not the first time we've seen bra crimes, but this travensvestite prositute got caught while stealing bras and other clothes from Kohl's in Mississippi . Not a pretty fella .

The thing is that this fellow has been committed 18 felonies before, and the judge just got tired of this guy.

Lately I've been much more active on Twitter, I haven't been able to udpate much here even though I have tons to say .

So if you want to hear all my bra comments, follow me on Twitter! . I'm @bratabase

Hi everybody, just to let you guys know that I have not forgotten this. I'm sorry about the lack of updates or visible changes to the site.

Probably most of you hadn't noticed but there's been lots of small fixes, improvements and new features silently being added, I've been meaning to write about them but live and work have been taking over all the spare time I used to have. Hopefully this month things should go back to normal and be able to continue enhancing Bratabase !

Please keep your feedback comming, it has helped me tremendously !! Thanks to all of you !

March went by and As I promised, i'd give the ad space on the sidebar for free to the most active user for a month.

As you can see the top suers have 14, 13, 12, 11 and 10 bras. But since I'm among those the user with 8 bras is running for 5th place.

I'll reach first place to see if she's interested, then I'll check down to 5th place. If nobody is interested... then I'll be evaluating completenes of bras, since it's not the same 7 empty bras to 7 bras with bunch of data

You see the ads on the right sidebar?

I'm giving away one of them for free, $0.0, no money involved.

The condition is that I want to help the site have more bras registered, since more bras means a more helpful Bratabase

The ad will go to the interested user with the highest number of bras added to the site. I'll evaluate monthly to see if I should give the ad to someone else.

Read this for further instructions on how to get the ad or get in touch with me .

A couple of weeks ago Ally from Guilty Pleasures, reached me via Twitter and asked me if I could write a guest article for their page regarding bra fitting .

I was flattered with the request, so I decided to work on it . The article is named "How to find the proper bra". They did a great job adding the pictures and format to make it look pretty

I hope you like it! , please let me know what do you think of it!

Last month, after the site went finally public, I got contacted by two polish women who run two very interesting Bra blogs (both in polish).

• Balkonetka
• Stanikomania

Julia, from Balconetka, was kind enough to write an article about Bratabase.

Both sites make great bra fitting and reviews.

The Bra fittings in Stanikomania display women of several sizes wearing bras that would normally be wearing (wrong ones). And displays side by side how would the same girl would look in a proper fitting bra. The difference is always amazing.

Balkonetka's Bra catalog is an amazing list of bra reviews and pictures added by users, It has a lot of what Bratabase wishes to be .

It gets updated daily with several bras of different brands and sizes ranging from A to L cups!

Living in South America, some of my local friends have a hard time browsing around the site.

Facing that problem I added the possibility to translate every sentence that shows here in Bratabase to the user's language.

I've recently started working on the Spanish translation, but it can be done for any language. So if you'd like to see it in your language, drop me a line so I you can help me translate the site!

Just let me know which language can you translate to and we can start working from there!

It's been a while since my last update, but that's because I've been pretty busy working on new stuff for Bratabase , here are the highlights:

The Bradar

What this does is show you where are you located in the Bratabase "bra space" and why are the recommended bras being recommended to you or why you don't have any recommendations .

I'll make a post talking about this on more detail.

Short URLs and link sharing

I hope this one is useful because it costed money hehe.

Now I own the bra.pe domain! so now you'll see a box inviting you to share the page you're seeing in Twitter or Facebook, and it will also show you the short url for that page since urls were getting a bit too long in order to preserve brand and model names .

So yeah, now there are shorter links to share , so please do

Don't forget to folow @bratabase on Twitter and become a fan in the Facebook Group .

Improved search

I should write a post about this too, but now the search bar you see on every page is improved (more than previous time) and I'm trying to improve it.

It will now suggest alternative sizes to search. If there are no bras in 32E it will recommend you to search in 32DD. You'll also see a small "Bra size matrix" with nearby sizes to navigate through your search!

Support for international sizing systems

Bratabase always allowed you to insert mostly any bra size when you add a bra, Although now when you ad a bra in European system or New zealand systems you'll see an equivalence next to it. So you'll see "34G" next to a "75G" bra.

I'm still considering to add these bras to search results, so when you search goe 34G you also get results for 75G.

Also, I'm still working on metric system which is used in Spain because it conflicts with the european system, since an 80 band in European system is a 36 in American, but an 80 in metric system is equivalent to a 30 band.

So given an 80G bra, I wouldn't really know what which one did you mean . Any suggestions?

Anything else you'd like to see fixed or improved? Let me know!

Two weeks ago I wrote about the new bra comparisons.

After seeing them in action I realized that they weren't all that helpful. and I got feeback that the the information displayed was hard to interpret.

Now the comparison tables have been joined into one table. It should be easier now to see how is each measurement comparing. There's also a highlight help

But most importantly, there's a summary under the table which explains what do the signs mean, telling you how does the band and the cup (based on width and depth) compare for both bras!

I've just added public profiles to Bratabase. This means that now you know who's behind the information you're reading (at the moment only the bra and comparison reviews).

By default your profile will show your name and the list of bras you've added along with it's reviews. This helps other members to know who are they reading and what to expect

If you wish not to disclose your bras, you can choose not to.

Since this is a delicate subject, you may want to have a different name here than in the rest of the internet so you can't be googled up or tracked down. For that reason I've added the possibility to change your nickname.

If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact me with your questions .

There've been lots of changed in Bratabase on the last couple of weeks. Most of them have been small improvements, bug fixes, typo corrections and stuff you may not have noticed .

But there have also been bigger changes, I wanted to mention now the new "Everything" feed.

This new feed will replace the old Bratabase feed (the one at the footer) that only updated you about new bras modifications. Now the everything feed will keep you updated about:

• What bras is people comparing
• What bras are changing
• What reviews are being written or voted
• New pictures added
• New blog posts
• New links added

So now you can just suscribe to the feed and see what's going on

So, go ahead and grab it!

Now you can compare any pair of bras in Bratabase .

When looking at any bra, you'll see a Compare this bra button.

Clicking it will set this bra ready for comparison.

What you ahve to do now is go look for any other bra and you'll see that it's now waiting to be compared with the previous bra .

Now you'll see both bras side by side!

Between both tables you'll see this summary box, displaying the differences on each measurement and telling you which one is bigger. In this case the 32G bra has bigger cups (depth, width and wire) while the 32FF cup has a larger band.

Write a review about how they compare

If you happen to own both bras, you'll be presented with this mesage.

So you can write a review telling us how both your bras compare.

When your review is ready, It'll be displayed below the comparison tables, note the 0 there.

Now, users who read your review can vote it up or down depending on how useful they found it, so you can improve it or add more information.

Users can comment on your review to ask you things, make recommendations or follow conversation about your review

I hope you guys find this useful!
