I've literally just read somewhere else that the first modern bra was invented in France, in the late 1800s. 173.88.69.21 (talk) 12:42, 19 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

A bra, short for brassiere or brassière (US: /brəˈzɪər/, UK: /ˈbræsɪər/ or /ˈbræzɪər/; French: [bʁasjɛʁ]), is a form-fitting undergarment that is primarily used to support and cover women's breasts.

Hi! You can find help for image files at H:PIC. If you insert the code [[File:Example_image.jpg]], it will show the full-size image. You can add a parameter to limit its size on the longer side like this: [[File:Example_image.jpg|100px]]. Actualcpscm (talk) 11:44, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Shouldn’t we have a section on men wearing bras like managing gynecomastia or gender expression? WikiGrower1 (talk) 03:47, 24 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
