Meng Lelan Posted May 15, 2010 at 09:27 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 at 09:27 PM Ah...yeah...I'm writing a blog entry about a friend who sells women's lingerie. So I'm looking at several different terms for bras. 胸罩， 奶罩，乳罩。I thought 奶罩 is more commonly used than the other two terms? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shi Tong Posted May 15, 2010 at 09:55 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 at 09:55 PM 胸罩 is probably the only word I've ever heard for it, so, take that as you will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is for ad, I think it's better to use 胸罩 or 文胸, as 乳罩 is not so frequently used and 奶罩 sounds a little big vulgar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm writing a story in my blog and need the commonly used word for "bra" not necessarily the polite refined word. My friends and I always use the word 奶罩 with each other, but I wasn't sure it was okay for posting into my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny同志 Posted May 16, 2010 at 01:47 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 at 01:47 AM Yes, I do. The context counts. As long as it fits the context, it is OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted May 16, 2010 at 05:30 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 at 05:30 AM Don't tell me you two have never seen one. I will go for 胸罩 as well, not too formal but not too crude as well. Yes I also agree that it all depends on the contexts. A shop assistant will never as you "你要哪款奶罩", unless they really want to piss off the customer.

Shi Tong Posted May 16, 2010 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 at 03:34 PM hahaha you could do that! ;) All I can tell you again is that 胸罩 is the only version I've ever heard and I've heard it a good few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
