Bras don't support breasts or stop them from sagging more.
For women with large breasts, it is a matter of comfort--try walking around all day with two free swinging twenty pound football shaped weights hanging from your chest--as well as aesthetics--breasts are confined to an area closer to the armpits than the belly-button and nipples can be arranged to face forward instead of pointing down at the ground, also the amount of cleavage and breast size can be manipulated. However, our modern version of a bra was originally designed to flatten the breasts into a mono-bosom--- the fashion of the day was straight lines, and society couldn't bear to even think about breasts, much less see them defined under clothing.
"Society's concept of the "ideal" breasts are breasts that would remain in their firm, uplifted attitude, on their own, for our entire lives. Advertising and messages in today's media have done a good job of convincing us of that myth, and the myth that breasts will sag unless we "properly support" them. The point to remember is that they will assume a more relaxed, adult position whether they are supported OR NOT! Some breasts never seem to reach that lower, relaxed position, even into a woman's sixth decade of life. This phenomenon is not a result of constant bra usage. Bras will not prevent that from happening."

There are quite a few studies that have been done and are underway that are linking the wearing of bras to different types of breast disorders.
"(the book "Dressed to Kill") reveals the link between bras and breast cancer, explaining in non-technical language how the restrictive nature of bras inhibits the lymphatic system and arguing that the correlation is four times greater than smoking is to lung cancer.
Singer and Grismaijer have collected striking evidence that bra-wearing may be a major risk factor associated with breast cancer: women who wear tight-fitting bras 24 hours a day are 125 times more likely to have breast cancer than women who do not wear bras at all. Their interpretation is that tight clothing inhibits the proper functioning of the lymphatic system (an internal network of vessels and nodes that flushes wastes from the body) and leads to a buildup of carcinogenic compounds in the constricted areas." http://www.all-natural.com/dressed.html
on a personal note--this slave suffers from engorged painful breasts, lasting from 4-6 weeks at a time, with a 2-3 week interval in between. Master allowed His slave to buy a "Shock Absorber" sportsbra from Victoria's Secret to wear during those times. It drastically reduces movement(which helps to manage the pain), is made from materials that breathe, does not have seperate cups or lace and is NOT sexy at all!
