What is the point of a bra for a small chested woman?

r/

I get it if you have ones that need to stop dragging, or during exercise to avoid that boing boing boing, but otherwise… why?

    Having a small chest already allows me to cheat to get a bigger one 😂 and also to avoid ending up with fried eggs.

    I think, in some cases, girls learn that “getting a bra” is kind of a milestone in becoming an adult, so women start to wear them as a symbol (for themselves, rather than anything else) that they’re officially an adult.

    The point is so we can suffer.

    Many women I know don’t wear bras.

    Maybe not in the US, where people faint at the sight of nipples?

    Although in Europe I have to admit I got catcalled so much as a young woman that I learned to wear thick bras to avoid nipples showing too.

    For all the reasons mentioned but also to fill out standard tops and dresses which are usually made for B cups and some also have bust darts so they look more distorted if you’re not wearing a bra.

    Even with small boobs, running up the stairs and doing exercise hurts. Not to mention nipple chafing and high beams showing through your shirt

    the feeling of nipples rubbing against a T-shirt is very uncomfortable
