Hey guys!
So I've been sent a box of underwear and bras to review from this company called petite cherry.
And normally I'm not really excited about clothing
and I don't accept any, like, clothing review offers that I get
but because finding underwear that fits me in Japan
is basically impossible
I was really exited to see that this company
carries really cute bras and underwear in my sizes
and they ship to Japan!
So today I'm going to take this opportunity to explain to you guys
what it's like trying to shop for bras and underwear in Japan.
And just kinda warn you that you should probably bring lots with you
if you're gonna move to Japan.
So I have a larger ribcage than most people.
I think I am a 36 or 38 size.
In Canada when I'm shopping for bras
and in Japan I cannot find any bras that will fit around my ribcage.
And it's also pretty hard to find cup sizes
that you would find back in Canada.
At first glance you might see, like:
"Wow, they have up to, like, G cup!"
And they do carry really what looks like large sizes
but in Japan, for example
like an F cup in Japan is like a C cup back in Canada.
So don't be fooled by that.
They do carry some bigger cup sizes
but, like, I find that it never fits around the ribs.
And Japanese bras are filled with patting, like,
inches of patting!
And I really, really don't like having that much patting in my bras.
So, like, even if I could find one that would fit
it would probably have tons of patting in it
and just be really uncomfortable.
If you're gonna move to Japan or if you're gonna be here on a long vacation
definitely bring several bras with you
and as for underwear: underwear in Japan is tiny!
I went inside a loungerie store and I filmed some clips
so you guys can see, but
more often than not underwear will come in just
small, medium and large sizes.
But the large in Japan is kind of like the small back in Canada.
So if you need, like, a medium or a large in your country
that's probably not gonna be available in Japan.
So I got three bra and underwear sets from this website
and I am loving them so much!
I am wearing one right now so I can't show it to you guys
but this one is my favorite.
It's the white one
and I will put a picture of the set right here
so you can see what it looks like.
I really love how the band is thick.
It's really soft and flexible so it's not like a corset or anything.
But it's got a really thick band so it's so comfortable!
It basically feels like I'm not wearing a bra at all
which is really cool.
I found that I've been wearing this one a lot since I got these.
I'm really in love with it.
And since it's white I can wear it
under t-shirts and you can't see it
and, yeah, it's really cute and comfortable
and I've washed it many times
and it looks exactly the same as when I got it.
Nothing has, like, worn down.
It keeps a nice shape after you wash it.
I wash my clothes just in a regular washing machine
and I hang them to dry outside
and it kept it's shape nice.
No problems with it, like, getting wrinkly or anything
like some bras do, so I was
really, really, really impressed with that bra.
And these are the underwear that it came with.
And I'm pretty sure this site, the underwear only comes in one size as well
but this is a lot bigger than any underwear you'd be able to find in Japan, so I was so happy.
Really cute.
Really good quality considering the price.
These are actually really, really affordable
and I wasn't expecting much
because the price is so low
but I'm so happy with them!
So the second one that I got is another one
that has the thick band around it
and I am so glad I got another one
because I totally fell in love with these.
This is a black one.
It's gonna be kinda hard to hold it up for you
but first I'll show you
see how thick the band is?
Like a regular bra would stop like there
But it's got this stretchy lace at the bottom of it
which just makes it, like, sooo much more comfortable when you're wearing it.
I love it!
And this one has a slight, like, I wouldn't even call it padding
it just has a thick fabric for the bottom part of the cup
and then this see-through lacy fabric for the top.
So it's got enough support.
This one definitely has, like, good support
it's got a wire and everything, too.
This one is similar to the white one I got.
The white one has this thick material
all the way up to the top here.
It doesn't have any flimsy stuff in it
so the white one definitely has, like the best support
and this would probably the number two out of the ones that I got.
It has, like, a little dangly charm in the middle.
I just think it is so cute!
And this is what the back looks like.
So you can see it's thicker.
Instead of, like, the normal two clips
that bras will have
this one has five, I think.
Yeah.
It's got five hooks.
And it's got the three different size settings
like normal.
And the straps look like this.
The've got some [...] lace on the [...]
and than they're just [...] in the back.
And this one is nice but I don't find myself wearing it as much as the white one
just because it's black and I have lots of tops that are really thin material
so I can see it through when I wear them.
But I love how this looks, it's really adorable!
I'll put the picture of the model wearing it up here
so you can see what it looks like on.
And yeah, again, really happy with the material
it's really stretchy and comfy and great quality.
I've washed this a few times and you can't even tell.
It looks just as good as when I got it.
And the underwear that comes with that bra looks like this.
It's completely see-through, the back is see-through as well.
Lacy~
Looks like a net kinda material.
It's really soft.
Yeah, I love them, I love how big they are.
I haven't seen underwear this size in, like years!
When I come back to Canada I usually stock up on this stuff.
But I haven't been back in so long so it's sooo nice to get these!
You have no idea how happy I am right now.
And the third bra that I got was this one, I love it, it's really, really adorable.
I hope it'll show up on camera alright.
Try and show it to you up close.
So this one doesn't have any patting at all.
It's just a really thin, like crocheted material.
So I thought this would be good for under, like, a flowy, like, tanktop
where you don't really need it to be smoothed out or anything.
Really light material, comfortable to wear in the summer.
And this one is just a regular-sized strap.
It's not a thick one like the other two that I got.
And it's got these cute little bows
in the front here.
I love those.
This one is pretty low cut in the front.
I like that shape about it, I think it just looks really adorable.
I'll put a picture of the model wearing it right here.
So you can see what it looks like.
Again, really nice material, really sturdy.
I've washed this one a couple times and I don't notice anything wrong with it.
It looks perfect.
And the sizes on their site are just perfect!
They have, like, a sizing chart and I measured myself to make sure that I would get the exact size.
I was kind of worried about, like, buying bras on the internet
because who knows, like, if they're gonna fit or not, right?
But the sizing chart that they have up there is pretty accurate.
So measure yourself exactly how they tell you to
and if you order bras following that chart you should be fine.
These are the underwear that came with that one.
Lacy, see-through parts in the front there.
And just plain black in the back. Very stretchy.
So the average price for these bra and underwear sets is about $30 American for the set of the two.
And if you order over, I think it's 65
you get free shipping to Canada, America and a list of other countries
I'll list them all up here.
And if you're living in Japan like I am you need to order more to get the free shipping.
I think it's $135 that you need an order of in order to get the free shipping to Japan.
But even if you can't get the free shipping
their shipping isn't too expensive, anyway.
So just go check out the site and see what you think.
But, yeah!
This is their site: petitecherry.com
There is lots to look through, lots of different sets to look through.
I love how they have, like, the really cute styles that you can find in Japan
but without all the one inch-thick padding.
So I'm really happy with the site.
And I'm sure if there's anyone like me living in Japan
that has trouble finding underwear they would be really happy about this, too.
So I'm, like, kinda happy to share this with you guys, it's really exiting for me.
So, yeah, I hope you enjoyed that and
if you order anything of their site please comment below and let me know what you thought about it.
So, yeah, I hope that was helpful for you guys.
Definitely bring bras and underwear with you from your country if you're moving to Japan.
But if you're here like me and you don't have a chance to go back to your country check out some sites online
and I really recommend this one, so check that one out if you're interested in these styles of bras.
I will see you guys later!
Bye~
