BRA, short for Brassiere: An undergarment that supports and covers (and sometimes deceptively augments the appearance of) the female breasts.

Factoid: The average American woman today owns six bras.

A comment found in Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book:

"...wearing a bra ...has no medical necessity whatsoever... Except for the women who find bras especially comfortable or uncomfortable, the decision to
wear or not wear one is purely aesthetic or emotional ... If you don't enjoy it, and job or social pressures don't force you into it, don't bother."
