If you have breasts, then you've probably wondered if your boobs are healthy.

A pencil test is an informal test of breast development and the need to wear a bra conceived by Ann Landers. A pencil stick is placed in the inframammary fold , the point at which the underside of the breasts attach to the chest wall. If the pencil does not fall, the woman has "failed the pencil test" and needs to wear a bra. The supposition is that breasts that are not pendulous are self-supporting and do not need the added support of a bra. No evidence has been offered as to its validity, but some people consider it a method to determine whether a young girl should begin wearing a bra. The theory is that if the girl places a pencil under her breast and if it stays in place, then wearing a bra is recommended; if it falls to the ground, a bra is not yet needed. Some women use the pencil test to determine if their breasts are sagging.
