why do women wear bra? how does it actually help their breasts?

Answer 1

I don't' think it actually "helps" anything. But it does hold them up while you're wearing the bra, or flatten them out (sports bra) I always thought it was just so your nipples don't stick out but that doesn't always work either.

Maybe it's the bonce factor, but they'll still bounce

If you top is a good fit, it can support them and than you don't need a bra. You can get really cute clothes that are cheaper than bras!

jenny we need our hands for more important things.

Answer 2

First of all, bra hides nipples: they do not stick out when wearing a bra ( showing nipples is inappropriate in many situations).
second, sports bra are a necessity for women who exercise as we do not want the breasts to jiggle and get in the way.
third, bra does make breasts look better ( and some make them look bigger). It lifts and pushes together, makes nice in other word.
Bra also protects ( many women are uncomfortable during periods because their breasts are sensitive).

Answer 3

Truthfully wearing a bra will not prevent breast cancer that is a myth. Also, it doesn't prevent sagging. Actually when you don't wear a bra the muscles become stronger and your breasts will actually look perkier. I have been brafree for quite some time and my breasts are now perkier than when wearing a bra and no sagging.

Answer 4

If women did not wear bra's the breasts would sag and it would be bad for the muscles that are in and around the breasts.

Answer 5

This is what almost all of the women in my family do, (we are all pretty busty) and my aunts have stayed remarkably perky into their 50’s

FIRST – wear a properly fitting, well sized, supportive bra. This should be something that holds the girls up, and keeps them supported. Your everyday bras should be under wire, full coverage, and comfy. If your bras lack any of those characteristics – they are the wrong size / wrong bra for you. If your under wires poke you, you are wearing the wrong size. Go and have a bra fitting done for you. If you go to a Leggs Hanes Bali store the sales girls (and guys) are trained to fit your bra properly. I like Bali bras – but sometimes they are a bit lack luster in the fashion department, so I also wear a lot of VS Second Skin Satin bras – they fit me well, provide sufficient support for me (though more would be fine) and come in a huge variety of colors. I HATE Playtex bras. They are ugly, and they SMELL. Avoid them at all costs.

Never wear a soft cup bra for regular daily wear. There is simply not enough support to risk it. Besides, with a properly fit under wire bra, a good supportive under wire is at least as comfy as any soft cup.

Special occasions are special occasions, and require special bras – avoid going braless however – unless that is the occasion.

Second – When doing ANY type of exercise – including things like gardening – or anything else that may cause extra bouncing, wear a good, strong sports bra, something that is capable of holding the girls in and controlling all of the bounce. One of my aunts has been known to wear two sports bras on occasion. An even better solution is to not do any sort of bounce inducing exercise and confine your work-out to the pool. The water prevents you from doing any damage to your breasts (or joints) and provides excellent all over toning and cardio work out all in one.

Third – and this is the real secret – and it is the critical step. Wear a bra to bed. Sleep in a bra every night. This does not need to be a firm support under wire contraption, and it does not need to be uncomfortable at all. In fact – it should be comfortable. No one does a lot of bouncing when they sleep, so all this bra is doing is keeping the girls in place – it does not need to be firm support. These bras are a bit harder to find, but they are worth the effort, and worth what you have to pay. Try to find “leisure” bras, or “sleeping” bras. If you google them you will find something. They are a MUST if you want to remain perky for as long as possible – and well worth any trouble you may have to go through to find them.

Answer 6

yes Bras do help women. Its like this, when your bress starts to grow its easy to mold and shape like a baby's head because it hasn't fully finish. If wearing a bra it helps your breasts gain support for life. If not wearing one you can get saggy breast. Basically bras help pump your boobs up

Answer 7

I believe women wears bra to ensure that not too many men get distracted by our boobs. If we just wear blouses on top of them, men in our immediate vicinity will most likely not be able to do what they are supposed to do.

By the way, personally, I think it is protect our breasts from sagging and for it not to bounce when we walk. :)

Answer 8

I've asked this question too, and I am female. A tight tank top is ten trillion million times more comfortable, and just as supportive (I'm 31 and they hang higher than girls younger than me who are avid bra wearers). Bras are outrageously priced, and for me, the only time I put one on is right before it's getting taken off! They're for looks only.

Answer 9

if women dont wear bra's it hurts! a bra is support for the muscle!

Answer 10

Women wear bra because to hold and train their brest so they will NOT sag.
