We don’t NEED a clap-off bra, but it’s highly recommended! ---

Going back to the OT, I would probably applaud any woman who wore one. 😉 ---

Does a golf clap just make it become see through? Does the sound of one hand clapping expose only one boob? These are the type of questions that keep me awake at night. Except when I’m sleeping. ---

I think it’s funny that so many men here seem excited about the prospect. It’s an ugly bra and at least in the photo, does nothing to enhance the bosom. Give me a pretty push-up bra any day! ---

Give me a pretty push-up bra any day! I don’t think the one in the video clip was particularly well fitted. I don’t think most women wear pasties under their bras. But I might be wrong about that.
