Are there other Spanish words for brassiere?

Question

Are there other Spanish words for brassiere? This is something that would be used in a silly children's story. Your help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the SpanishDict forum.

I've only heard "sostén" for bra.

Answer 2

Hello, and welcome to the forum. The SpanishDict dictionary provides the following translations: el sostén, el sujetador (in Spain), el brasier (in the Caribbean, Colombia, and Mexico), and el corpiño. Hey, look at that: they're all masculine. Grammatical gender is a funny thing. Also, as Marianne says, I think el sostén is much more common than the others; it's the only one I've heard. But then, I admit it doesn't come up a lot in my Spanish conversations.
