The Brassiere or Bra

Are you wearing the correct bra, find out in Is My Bra Correct???

Exactly what is a bra? A bra from the original conception has changed significantly since then, both in form and function. It could be described as a garment to cover the female breasts since most bras do exactly that. However modern bras are more than that. So what does the modern bra do?

The female breasts are not made of muscle but ligutures, these over time can stretch and once stretched will no longer retract and this is what gives rise to what is called 'saggy boobs' in that the nipples instead of facing forward will over time gradually face the floor. Wearing the correct bra can support the breasts and this in turn decrease the effect of gravity.

Many women in the modern world if asked would not happy with the size of their breasts, they would either be too large or too small and many are undertaking surgery to make adjustments. However the bra can also be used to have the same effect of either apparently reducing or enhancing the size of the breasts. Minimiser bras are available that will make breasts look smaller by attempting to flatten them. Whereas for those with smaller boobs there many bras available that either by padding or design make the breasts look larger.
