Years ago, advice columnist Ann Landers proposed this test to determine whether a woman can go without a bra. To perform this test, the person lifts one of her breasts, places a pencil under it, and releases the breast.
If the pencil falls down, she can go braless (under a shirt, of course, provided it is sufficiently opaque). If the pencil is held in place by the weight of her breast, she should wear a bra.
I used to use this as an algorithm for whether I needed a bra, not taking pokies into account.
Technically, the condition that necessitates a bra is called breast ptosis.

I thought it was a joke when I was a teen.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if ptosis tester is a real job.
ReplyDelete"Ptosis" seems like an awfully ugly sounding word to associate with something as beautiful as the feminine breast...it sounds like it would describe expectoration rather than droopy breasts.
