"We are really happy to say that, thanks to the members of Busts 4 Justice, M&S have decided to abolish the tit-tax, and from now on will be operating a one-price-fits-all policy across their ranges.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us on this issue; especially the thousands of brilliant, busty women that have joined forces with us. We couldn't have done this without you.

Busts 4 Justice remain committed to making things better for busty women on the high street, but for now we're happy just to be able to encourage all ladies to reward themselves and their boobs with some properly fitted, fairly priced lingerie.

Much love, Busts 4 Justice x"

What 's in half a cup? About £2, according to Marks & Spencer

For too long now, M&S have got away with this criminally unfair tit-tax, which puts a £2 surcharge on bras bigger than a DD cup. When challenged, M&S argued that bigger bras have bigger overheads and so must retail at a bigger price. Note here that other high-street lingerie retailers don't feel this need to distinguish between these 'costs' and operate a one price for all tariff.

Nor do M&S apply the same policy to their other items. They would never charge you more for an extra large t-shirt, or less for a smaller pair of trousers.

Britain boasts of its fairness, and M&S boasts of its absolute Britishness. Busts 4 Justice argue that the price equality that rules our outer-garments should apply to our undergarments too.

Busty ladies, and anyone else with a vested interest in busty ladies, in fact anyone with a vested interest in simple justice, join forces to end this blatant discrimination. We need your, er, support.

Marks & Spencer's original statement:


"M&S offers the most comprehensive DD+ collection and one of the most competitively priced on the high street, with bras in the range starting from just £8 and a 100% silk bra from only £14.
M&S is virtually the only high street retailer to offer the same choice of colour, styles and shapes for all customers no matter what size they take – most retailers have specialist ranges, which are different to what they offer customers with smaller cup sizes and which have different prices.
We design the collections to provide as much support and comfort as possible to the customer. This includes special design features such as wider straps, greater support in the cup and additional material around the back area to ensure the delicate breast tissue is properly supported and protected.
The collection has proved incredibly popular with the majority of our customers. They have told us they are happy to pay a small premium (between £1.50 and £2.00) for the specialist work to ensure suitable level of support, innovation and technology that goes into the bras. Our bras are much less expensive than many other specialist larger cup size lingerie retailers, where they could cost around £60 or more."

PLEASE NOTE: we try very hard to reply at break neck speed to all messages/phone calls/emails from members of the press but it is just the two of us running the group with a few hundred miles between us at present. We would very much appreciate it if we could be contacted at our email address, busts4justice@gmail.com, as it means we can both read all messages as opposed to single FaceBook messages. We find it much easier to work this way as we both can see what's going on. We do pride ourselves on being glued to phones and laptops so no one goes long without an answer! Thanks in advance.
