That isn't a question for women. It's a question for adolescent males who want to talk about women's breasts.

The Uniboob! I wear them sometimes because they're convenient and cheap, but they don't do a whole lot for me.

Fasteners in the back are probably because they'd be lumpy under clothing. So are those stupid little bows they put on the front. Of course, it hurts to get into or out of a uniboob when your shoulder's messed up.

LATEX bras. They stretch to fit the person and the occasion. Just think of it/them. Get in early on this great idea.

Testimonial from a happy user.

"Dear Latex Bra people,

I am so happy with my new latex bra I could poop green. I carry it with me all the time. It gives me a new-found freedom to be myself yet retain my modesty and comfort. I was in my cups before I tried your bra. Now, I'm not. Thank you.

I really dont understand why some women get uptightabout men thinking about boobs. At least then we know what they are thinking about an it is relatively harmless. When the try to think of other things there can be trouble their brains over heat from the strain. Its true look what happens to the world when male presidents prime ministers and the like try to think.

Bra - singular because it's an abbreviation for brassiere.

Knickers - come in pairs because they were originally individual legs that tied on around the waist.

Long ago, wealthy women used to wear corsets that their maiden would fasten from behind (no money => no maiden => no corset). Bras come from corsets (a nice cissors work!) and the buttons remained behind, maybe so that we can pretend that we can't un/fasten them by ourselves and need some help!

Well, I ain't a female, but I can say this. I was made to wear gaters when I was a kid (dressup occasions), and they went with wool britches (I think they were called). Most uncomfortable damned things I ever put on other than shoes that are too small for my size 11 1/2 tootsies. I don't understand why women just didn't rebel. Never mind burn the damned things, but at least make 'em so's they're comfortable. None of that stuff even LOOKS comfortable, so actually wearing them must hurt like hell.

I really do understand that joggers might need the support (or enough support to stop the jarring effects of the feet hitting the ground, etc). Was there ever a 'movement' to do away with corsets and other forms of torture?

Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women", "Little Men", Rose something and other books of the late 1850s has a wise uncle in one of them lecture the little girl about the madness of corsets and other means of support; when she comes forth without one, he praises its healhful naturalness. My guess would be that there was such a movement. (no pun intended)

Now I thought that this post was actually an interesting question from someone who actually didn't know about the corset origin (same answer as to why men's and womens shirts button differently)

That someone would see this as an excuse to talk about boobs is reading between the cups if you ask me!

Actually I heard about a new operation that is supposed to implant a silicon device to help breasts defy the effects of gravity *God help me this is true*. I couldn't help but think that they just moved the underwire.

For anything and everything you ever or never wanted to know about bras and knickers - Rosemary Hawthorne has two excellent books on those two subjects. 'Bras, a private view' was published in the UK in 1992 by Souvenir Press, ISBN 0-285-63086-5.

Corsets weren't developed to support the breasts, but to constrain them, stiffen the body and slim the waist. What we know as a corset today would be unrecognisable to our mediaeval grandmothers, who wore a sort of 'body' made of stiff linen. Our Tudor grandmothers might see a faint familiarity in the modern garments beloved by bondage fans, the long, strictly confined 'stomacher' restricting movement; but it's not until the 17th and 18th centuries that breasts came up for air as it were... When Charles I's wife Henrietta Maria came over from France, she brought with her the less restricted, rounder shape that was popular in the French Court. Necklines were rounded rather than straight, bodies more shaped, with definable hips and the long pointed 'stomacher' shortened to a rounded edge. Breasts were still squashed in under 'stays' as the corset was now called, but they were just visible.

As for the first recognisable bra - that came about in 1914 with the aid of two hankies, some pink ribbon and the French maid of Mary Jacobs, a New York debutante who hated the heavy boned corsets of the early 20th Century.
