Bras Are A 'False Necessity'

[Valley Oak]

Study Says Bras Are A 'False Necessity.' Women who go braless may actually have the right idea, new research suggests.

According to the results of a 15-year study in France published Wednesday, bras provide no benefits to women (https://www.connexionfrance.com/Bra-support-damage-professor-Rouillon-back-pain-nipple-14626-view-article.html) and may actually be harmful to breasts over time. "Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity (https://www.franceinfo.fr/societe/les-seins-se-portent-mieux-sans-soutien-gorge-947307-2013-04-10)," Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, told France Info...

You are right; and there are more than one factors which may put you at risk; restricted blood flow & lymph drainage, and materials of concern in fabrics and elastics. The underwire can be a problem too.

I wish we treated breasts like tribal folks do - no big deal; except for nourishing your babies.

I have never worn a bra in my entire life, and I'm 52 years old!
