Bras are loved and hated, sometimes at the same time. But as difficult and restrictive as they can be, they rescued women from a much cruel contraption: corsets. The question remains, though, do women need bras at all?
AI Summary
# Summary
Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly complicated history and science of bras, exploring everything from ancient athletic support garments to modern cup sizing systems. They trace how bras evolved from medieval breast bags through the restrictive corset era and finally to the modern bra that revolutionized women's comfort and participation in sports, while also examining how bra design has constantly shifted to reflect changing beauty standards and societal expectations. The guys also unpack the bewildering world of bra sizing and explain why so many women end up wearing ill-fitting bras, thanks to decades-old American manufacturing standards that simply weren't designed with proper fit in mind.
