Happy Valentine's Day a.k.a. Singles' Awareness Day to you all! I hope it is/was a great one for you, whether you celebrated with a significant other or your friends. ^ ^ I didn't do much, but I have plans to make it up with my best girls later on!
I came across a great find while reading this post on Kirin's blog, and I thought I'd share it here for any of you ladies out there who might be in this situation.
What situation, you ask? Why, I mean the life-long struggle to find bras that fit, especially when we're travelling or living away from home and your-go to stores for lingerie needs aren't as easily accessible. If you're like me, then you know that it can be challenging enough to find bras in sizes outside of the average 34-38 A-DD. Add in the quest to find cute, flattering cuts and styles, and it gets pretty close to impossible in many cases. Then try to fill that order overseas, say in Japan, and you might find it tough. I have yet to find a lingerie store there that would fit my "girls", and those of very well-endowed foreign ladies looking to live, work, and/or study in Japan.
That is, until I found out about Rui Glamourous!
Rui Glamourous is a Japanese lingerie brand that carries larger sizes. How much larger are we talking? Their sizing goes up to 90J (Japan sizing) or a 40 H (U.S. sizing). Even though I know that ceiling still may not cover everyone, it does give a lot more room to fit larger 'girls' for sure! Rui Glamourous offers plenty of colors, styles, and cuts for even the most frilly tastes, plus the matching underpants for that perfect matching set. This is some of what Rui has to offer:
 |
| The "Premiere" bra. Info can be found here. |
 |
| The "Bonheur" bra. Info here. |
 |
| The "Flora" bra. Info here. |
Aren't they all so cute? And there are plenty more styles available to fit everything from girly to classic to unique tastes, all with matching underwear in low-rise, T-back (thong, I think), and "standard shorts", which look a lot like your basic hiphugger/bikini cut.
However, keep in mind that, judging from browsing the website, some of the larger sizes seem to sell out quickly. But hopefully anyone looking to shop with Rui Glamourous will find at least a few options of getting that piece of cute Japanese lingerie that will finally fit after a long search.

So if you're a busty lady heading to Japan for long-term, I'd say it looks like Rui Glamourous is definitely worth looking into! I think everyone deserves cute undies, and Rui Glamourous is one option that makes that possible for all sizes during your stay in Japan. I'm definitely looking forward to the chance to shop with them in the future~
Also! If any ladies reading this have had or get a chance to check out the service and selection first-hand, I'd love to hear about it, so I can link back with even more information for anyone who comes looking for it!
Until next time~
