What is a "bra"?

A bra is a type of women's undergarment that is designed to support the breasts. It typically consists of two cups that are made from materials such as cotton, polyester, or nylon, and are supported by straps that go over the shoulders and around the back. Bras come in various styles, such as underwire, sports, push-up, and strapless, and are available in a wide range of sizes and colors. They may also feature additional elements such as padding, removable inserts, or hooks and eyes for adjustable sizing. Bras are worn for both functional and aesthetic reasons and can provide comfort and support during physical activity, as well as enhance the appearance of the bustline.
