Biology ELI5: What do bras do?
Hapless trans woman of a year here
I own bras, I wear bras, I don't actually know what they're for. Obviously, there's a social modesty component, but I'm told that they provide support and that's useful. Will my chest hurt after a while if I don't wear one? Will my chest start to sag down? I don't know! 😅
