What is Bra?
A bra, short for brassiere or brassière, is a form-fitting undergarment that is primarily used to support and cover women’s breasts.

What is a bra used for?
A bra is a form-fitting undergarment designed to cover, support, and elevate a woman’s breasts.
It is important that a woman chooses the right type of bra in order to protect the general health of the breasts. A bra that doesn’t fit well and offers little support can stretch and displace breast tissue.
Are bras necessary?
According to Dr Tanaya, aka Dr Cuterus, wearing or not wearing a bra does not have an impact on health, as it is more of a “fashion statement”.
She explains in an Instagram video that it is a personal choice, even though many people may feel that the piece of clothing can make their breasts and nipples appear “perky”.
What age should you wear a bra?
It is also common for girls to develop later, and only need a bra at 14 years old. The average age to start wearing a bra is 11 years old, but each girl’s experience will be different and unique.
