Chinese Words For Bras

[Meng Lelan]

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?

胸罩 is probably the only word I've ever heard for it, so, take that as you will

Lelan, are you going to do a Chinese ad for your friend? 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.

No, it is not an ad. I don't do ads. It's for my blog. 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.

奶罩 sounds to me a little bit vulgar. If I were you, I would give my vote to 胸罩.

Ah, kenny2006woo, you don't really know me do you? I tend to give my vote to the vulgar.

[Kenny同志]

Yes, I do. The context counts. As long as it fits the context, it is OK.

[xiaocai]

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.

Split a few of the less valuable posts off, I'm sure you can find them. Please don't get your knickers in a twist . . .

I call it 胸盖 for fun

[Shi Tong]

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.
