Disconnected from reality
If the controversy about whether the bra causes or prevents breast sag has been "settled", it is an important enough issue to deserve its own section. I see virtually nothing about it (one vague sentence actually). Nursing bras not only aid in breastfeeding but they contain absorbants which prevent leaking breasts from wetting and possibly staining other clothes. Surely that deserves a mention. There is a single (again vague) sentence about medical reasons for using one. And again it seems obvious to me that that subject deserves more here. There is an enormous amount of rubbish about what some author(ess) wrote. Unless these authors were historically notable, it should be removed. I see some discussion about modern (Western) fashion preferring large breasts, but see nothing discussing cleavage and how various bras, especially the push-up and padded bras create that. I see nothing about how bras can protect sensitive nipples - or is that simply not true? I see nothing about how bras may display the nipple. Or hide them, especially when tumescent. Surely these both are notable functions of the item. I also see no mention of their other uses - eg. as a purse or storage space. It seems to be assumed that the reader of this article understands that for most women, use of the bra provides no health or fitness benefits. First, that's a bad assumption. Second, I sure don't know if it's true, especially athletic bras. Finally, many (most?) bras are uncomfortably hot and sweaty, aren't they? This subject and modern wicking fabrics also seems to have been ignored here.174.130.70.44 (talk) 10:49, 13 October 2017 (UTC)
