This is what happening now at Saudi Arabia! Employment application for most of the lingerie boutique is only open for men only! Their reason is to keep women away from dealing with male customers or work around men. For girls, ladies and women, can you accept this to discuss your most intimate apparel with a man in a bra shop? And then buy intimate lingerie from men? It is just too embarrassing, right?

Boycott Lingerie Shops Staffed Only by Men

That why Muslim women at Saudi Arabia have launched boycott of lingerie shops staffed only by men! No More Employment for Men in lingerie shops, bra shop or underwear shop! Can you imagine what the hell if those sales men talk to women about bras or thongs, looking their boobs up and down to determine their bra cup sizes, even rubbing the underwear to show how stains can be cleaned.

Do you know your bra measurements or bra sizes? Otherwise, you will be in trouble to have so many bras with different sizes because you can not get to try them on. Surprisingly to know that Fitting Rooms are BANNED in Saudi Arabia. The idea of a woman undressing in a public area with men just outside is unimaginable.

Islamic Clothing for Islamic Women

According to Saudi Arabia’s strict interpretation of Islamic Law on Muslim clothing, black robes is required to be used for Islamic women to cover themselves from head to toe in public. Therefore, Islamic clothing is a must in public for Islamic women. However, they are allowed to wear whatever they want in the privacy of their own house and bedrooms. Most of the sexy pajamas, sexy sheer lingerie, sexy underwear and as long as sexy undergarments are popular.

The boycott was launched on Tuesday by about 50 women who gathered in the Red Seaport of Jeddah at the Al-Bidaya Breast-feeding Resource and Women’s Awareness Centre, which is run by Modie Batterjee, one of the boycott organizers.

The aim is to push for implementation of a law that has been on the books since 2006 whish says only female staff can be employed in women’s apparel store.

Throughout the boycott campaign, women are encouraged to shop only at the country’s few women-only lingerie stores. Most of the boutiques are usually stand-alone or located in shopping malls that have women-only department. Basically, these shops do not have window to ensure passing men unable to peep in. With this only women are able to enjoying the freedom to actually try their intimate lingerie on.
