They also didn't have the weird hormones in their food that we have that likely contributed to the explosion in breast size. And native Americans didn't have maxi pads etc, so they had to hang out in the corner while menstruating instead of continuing with daily life.

I also have this: Amazon.com: Shock Absorber Women's Extreme Support Sports Bra Top #4490: Clothing and it is also great. The Freya has better shape. The Shock absorber is a bit of a pain to put on, but is more comfy. Also excellent for running and jumping.

This one gets raves, but I haven't tried it:
Amazon.com: Panache Women's Underwired Sports Bra: Clothing
Awesome. I clicked on this thread for a quick laugh and got useful info!

I hate the way sports bras give me uniboob, especially since it makes my seatbelt slide up around my neck on the way to the gym.

Exactly!

Honestly I was think more along the lines of those "older" women on day shift at the strip clubs; they have sagging and due to their jobs, they are pretty much sans bra on a daily....

As a counter, I know girls in their 20's who look like they have two fried eggs hanging on nails.

So long as they didn't have double yolks.

I hate to break it to you, but Native American women didn't get to sit and have a spa day while menstruating. In many tribes, they still worked and had children to take care. While Always and Tampax didn't exist, they somehow managed to carry on with life.

No in Africa they don't have weird hormones in their food. Many just don't have food! And most food is imported and Lord knows what's actually in it!

Bras and other undergarments were invented by women all across the world over thousands of years. The oldest was found in India, and they date back to the Middle Ages in Europe. The idea of women wearing undergarments is NOT a new one.

It's only because of the modernization of undergarments, which culminated to the commercialization and companies headed by men that is causing people these days to question wearing bras. Bras were around for a long, long time well before women linked to to the "evils of patriarchy" but it's the sex sells culture that people don't like.

I really don't care if women choose not to wear bras, but keep in mind the environment you are in, the people you are around and the work you do. It's not sensible to go without a bra if you have large breasts with big nipples and a tendency to bounce. If yours tend to stay put and you don't deal with the fiasco known as nipping out, you can probably get away with it. I am sometimes around teenage boys and there is NO WAY in hell I am going braless around them. It wouldn't matter how many layers I wore-- can we say jiggle?

We can study Lindsey Lohan's breasts. I don't think she owns a bra.

They used to be so beautiful, but I am afraid they are headed for the dumpster.
