Are breasts supposed to still bounce in a regular bra?

[Anonymous]

So as we all know by common sense, bras serve one purpose only: to stop the boobs from bouncing. Also to cover the nipples, as two nipples poking through sort of ruins the smoothness of an outfit... but the bouncing is the main problem the bra solves.

But my question is: how much is a regular bra supposed to stop the breasts from bouncing?

If I had to say, it's supposed to stop the bouncing during mild movements... like walking. But the breasts are still supposed to bounce a bit when doing more vigorous movements, like jumping, getting up really fast, running, walking really fast, etc.

That's where the sports bra comes in to stop the bouncing 100% completely... but from regular day to day life, with on real constant vigorous movement, just a regular bra is already enough, even if it doesn't stop bouncing in all scenarios. You'll barely be running or jumping or anything in just regular day to day life anyways, so a bra that completely stops the bouncing isn't necessary unless playing sports or exercising.

Is my analysis on this right? Did I miss anything?

[vulpesinculta]

Wait what. Regular bras are only supposed to stop boobs from bouncing? Where is this information from, because that is certainly news to me. I mean damn, I have to hold myself walking up the damn stairs because they bounce. I thought bras were for just for general support because boobs get heavy and look nicer in bras in general.

[Asker]

Just from my mind... be aware that I don't have a girlfriend at the moment to talk to about this kind of stuff, lol. I do have female friends... but face-to-face bra talk would be weird among-st women who are just friends.

But clearly, from your confusion, my info is incorrect.

So just basically, regular bras don't really stop the bouncing at all, right? They just simply support and cradle up the breasts, and hide the nipples.

The ones really meant to stop any sort of bouncing is the sports bras.

[fauna642]

They aren't meant to stop bouncing. All they do it Good breasts up and usually have padding to hide nipples.

[Asker]

Ah, that makes sense. So basically regular bras just make them look nicer and hide the nipples; while sports bras are REALLY the ones meant to stop bouncing altogether.

[fauna642]

Yeah, because when we exercise, it can get to the point of being painful, so the gotta be held in place.

[Asker]

Yeah, I get you. When just doing normal everyday tasks, they still will bounce a bit when walking and climbing up stairs and such, but it won't be painful.

However, when exercising/playing sports, and you'll repeatedly be doing vigorous activities like running, jumping, and kicking, it can be quite painful and even stretch out the breast tissue, making them sag.

[fauna642]

People tell us that bras actually help sagging overtime, but honestly I'm not entirely sure I believe that

[Asker]

As far as I know, bras don't prevent sagging, but they don't cause sagging either. Overall, just wear bras if you want to. They aren't exactly necessary, but they won't hurt you either.

Sports bras, however, are indeed necessary. Everyone needs exercise, and as you exercise, the breasts are gonna bounce A LOT. And that bouncing can stretch out the tissue and cause them to sag. So they need to be held in place by something.

However, when your exercise session ends, feel free to never put on a bra again till the next time you exercise. If you're not doing anything vigorous there's literally no point to wearing a bra.

[fauna642]

Being a female, I know it is indeed possible for a bra to hurt you. But you do have the basics down.

[Asker]

Well I believe you. Being a male I don't really have much experience with that type of stuff, lol. So you're the more experienced one here.

I've heard of bras in which are too small having painful underwire that hurts the underside of the breasts... but that's all I've heard of bras being painful.

[hillyhighmore]

Hell yeah some of my bras leave marks for days on my sternum from the underwire. Why wear them then you ask? It's just something you get used to putting on every day, and breasts look better in a bra like everyone's said.

As for your... cheeky question, if you break into a jog in anything but a sports bra, you're quickly reminded you're wearing something not meant to minimize bounce. The joys of being a girl.. our own boobs want to punch us in the eye.

[Asker]

@hillyhighmore That's an understandable reason for wearing bras despite the marks they may leave under the breasts.

And oh yes, the joys of being a girl indeed, lol...

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love girls. Even more so than guys. Both physically and personality wise. About 60% of my friends are all female, more than half.

But I can't say I'd actually like to be a girl myself, lol... though to me it's more so because of periods than the breasts. Having breasts honestly looks pretty fun to me unless you jog without a sports bra... then it looks painful... ouch... I don't even have breasts, and it still looks painful as fuck.

I don't even find it sexy. A slight bounce while going up and down stairs looks kind of sexy, for example... but a vigorous bounce as you jog without a sports bra just looks painful.

[hillyhighmore]

I meant no offense by the way. I actually like having breasts because mine don't get in the way most of the time. But I golf so imagine doing that when you own a pair. Mankind hasn't invented a sports bra where the band doesn't slide around when swing O. O

[Asker]

@hillyhighmore Um... I don't exactly know what you're talking about, lol.

You meant no offense? But I don't even remember you being rude, heck, or even passive aggressive in the first place! I literally just saw this as a normal conversation.

You "golf" so imagine? Um... what?

[hillyhighmore]

lol I'm agreeing with you in other words.

[Asker]

@hillyhighmore Ah. Well that's a simpler way to put it, lol.

[Analinda1999]

regular bras do nothing but cradle the breasts & smooth things lout. you need sports bra for the the stuff.

[Asker]

So are you implying that they offer little to no support at all, even when just doing something as simple as walking?

[Asker]

Wait, what you meant is that they do offer support, but just that... they don't actually stop the bouncing.

[BigRayFromNC]

Tit's are supposed to be firm and not be bouncing around like rubber balls and a perfect set of firm Tit's with oval shaped nipples are in the photo attached...

[Asker]

I don't exactly remember implying that in my post, but I'll give you this: you did make me laugh! Lol!

Of course, if tits are perfectly round and don't bounce at all then they're not real tits.

But when playing sports and such, the bouncing can be a bit painful, and even cause the skin to stretch, causing the dreaded saggy tits... and so women wear sports bras for that reason.

[Anonymous]

Regular bras are just for support but they don't stop bouncing, especially when you wear the wrong sized bra. Bra's just generally make an outfit look smooth like you said

[Asker]

Yeah, that makes sense. When breasts bounce a bit when walking or climbing up stairs, it isn't necessary for it to stop, as it isn't actually painful.

However, as you play sports and exercise, and constantly do vigorous things like running, jumping, and kicking, in which make them bounce up and down in a quite painful way... THEN the bouncing should stop altogether, in which is why sports bras were made.
