Bra's what were/are the really all about

Just read through a thread on the benefits of small breasts and a few women expressed views.

I'm genuinely interested in knowing why they were invented. Bras, that is, not boobs! lol

Were bras originally designed to support boobs, for female comfort, or for modesty, or were they designed by the man (it was a man wasn't it), to make clothing drape in a way that looked better for men? Perhaps it was so men would find women to be more sexually attractive?

Doesn't matter to me if a woman wears one or not (and I know some larger breasted women suffer back or boobs pain without one), but do you feel compelled in society to do so?
Large or small, I love them moving about naturally under clothing.

 

a lot of men wear bras because of ned
the have whats called gynocetima that what happens because they are either fat or from having an extra female gene tthat comes at birth or later on
I got mine from taking female hormones
some of them get real big at an early age, some get it later
there are lot more men like that tthan on would thian you would think i wear a bra and panties full time

 

They're for support and protection. The smaller the breast, the less of this that is needed - but for B cups and larger, swinging and bouncing loosely can be painful at times and is also not good for maintaining breast symmetry as the body ages.

 

exactly
On my gyno site they say bras arnt for women they are for breasts

 

I guess I'm Lucky with my 32B's
