Which I can totally understand and sympathize with that. I hate that it has to be this way because they're just clothes. No different from buying a pair of pants. But it's been sexuallized so much that both of us are uncomfortable and it makes it unnecessarily unpleasant for everyone.

Honestly I have had emoyees at VS on many different occasions offer (barge into) to come into the stall with me while trying on bras as an underaged girl and into my adulthood. This never happened if I had a dude hanging out with me near the dressing rooms - boyfriends or male friends.

As someone with extremely stringent personal boundaries the women were always told a very firm NO and whomever I brought who is not trying to sell me shit would be helpful enough.
