Why Women Should Wear Bra

Here’s why women should wear bras

The bra has so many purposes. It provides support. It keeps guys out. And now a new use has been found.

One woman discovered on New Year’s Eve that her bra can stop a bullet. Who needs Superman’s cape? Who needs men anyway?

Debbie Bingham, 46, an Atlanta resident visiting family in St. Petersburg, Fla., said her gold-colored bra slowed a falling bullet during the holiday celebrations.

Her injuries may have been much more severe had it not been for her bra strap, said George Kajtsa, spokesman for the St. Petersburg Police Department.

Bingham says she was outside with her daughter and son, ringing in the new year and viewing the local fireworks display when she felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder at 11:40 p.m. The bullet was halfway inside of Bingham’s bra, and the other half barely breaking the skin, Bingham later told WTSP-TV.

Someone had fired a gun into the air, and as the .45-caliber bullet fell back to earth, Bingham was struck. Kajtsa described the wound as a “big scratch with bruising.”

Bingham was taken to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, where she was given five stitches. The bullet was lodged in the bra strap and was cut out by doctors.

St. Petersburg police are still searching for the shooter to determine if Bingham was the target of the gunfire or if she was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, Kajtsa said.

As for Bingham, she said she is just thankful for her bra.

“It was a very cheap bra. It wasn’t very expensive, and I’d love to have a couple more of those bras,” she told WTSP.

Actually, sometimes it's safe to go braless. Allows proper circulation
