Following on the heels of [this by-now-infamous poll](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=636087), and [this poll posted in response](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=636486), I’d like to follow the example of **Maggie the Ocelot** in the latter, and have this poll for women, to hear the positive side of the question from the wearers themselves. I’ve tried to list all the reasons I can think of. If I’ve omitted anything, do feel free to chime in. Please pick your top 3 reasons. Again, like **Maggie** ’s poll, for women only. ---

Uh-oh, that was meant to be multiple choice. Mods, can I have a do over? And would you kindly lock this one? ---
