So I’m Idly Curious…

Please put your bra in the bin,” at Flyertalk:

items used to augment the body for medical or cosmetic reasons such as mastectomy products, prosthetic breasts, bras or shells containing gels, saline solution, or other liquids; and,

1. Separate these items from the liquids, gels, and aerosols in your quart-size and zip-top bag.
2. Declare you have the items to one of our Security Officers at the security checkpoint.
3. Present these items for additional inspection once reaching the X-ray. These items are subject to additional screening.

As I understand it, gel bras hold ~7floz.

So…are there reasons that women wear gel-filled bras which are neither cosmetic nor medical?

My anonymous correspondent also wondered…how big a water bra can you make?

    Simple matter of economics: supply and demand. 😉
