The term hand bra refers to the act of covering one's nipples and areolae with their hands or arms, often in compliance with censors' guidelines, public authorities, and community standards when female breasts are required to be covered in film or other media. It is also commonly used as a pose in photography, particularly in boudoir and self-portrait photography. The hand bra pose is achieved by placing one or both hands on the breasts to lift and enhance their appearance. Variations of the hand bra pose include the one arm pose, the single hand pose, and the no hand pose. The term hand bra has gained popularity in recent years, particularly on social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, where users share photos and videos of themselves posing in the hand bra position.
