Q: Why the giant clasps?

Now, I have seen a fair amount of bras here in China; both in shops on on the bodies of nubile females (or fat hoppers). One thing I can't understand - why the massive clasps? There is barely anything to hold in! (generally)

 

Back home (UK) they have two hooks at the back on a thin strap. Three at most.

 

Is it a challenge? Is it a small back brace?

 

Theories please!

They are security freaks like having metal doors, iron bars on windows, eight locks on bicycles etc. Maybe it makes them feel safe.

I put it down to the density of liquid silicon padding. It's a lot denser than natural bra filler, so it needs more support.

 

Throwing a Chinese bra away from the bed during a passionate interlude can often result in tables and chairs being knocked over. I once heard of one going through a plate glass window and mortally wounding an innocent passer by 20 floors below wink.

There are 2 types of women here; skinny and butchers wife. the clasps hold in all that bulk for the butchers wives trying to thin themselves out a la corset.
