Speaking of lingerie secrets, ladies are finally discovering the real reason why there’s always a bow in the middle of a bra – and it’s blowing their minds.
One observer, with an interest in history, fled to Quora to answer the interesting question.
Why is the bow there?
They explained: “In olden days when women wore corsets, there was a piece of whalebone called a busk.
“It was inserted in a sheath down the front of the corset and tied in place with a bow. The busk is gone but the bow remains.”

The Quora poster said: “As for the roots of the tradition, It comes from pre-elastic days, when your underthings were held in place by a bit of ribbon threaded through the eyelet lace at the tops.
“The little bow is where you tie that ribbon, and of course it’s in the front because that’s the easiest place to do something like that.”
