A bra for a woman is not only an element of underwear, but also a way to emphasize her curves and give her figure femininity and seductiveness. However, there is still a debate about the usefulness of wearing a bra.
Lyudmila Artyushkevich, a doctor at the HappyDerm medical center, notes that theories related to the supposed disruption of blood and lymphatic drainage from the mammary glands when wearing bras have not been scientifically confirmed.
Likewise, there is no scientific evidence to suggest a link between bra use and the development of breast cancer.
There is a lack of compelling research to support these theories.
In addition, not wearing a bra does not affect breast sagging. Physiologically, the breast is supported by the chest muscles, but this rule is true mainly for women with small breasts (size 1-2).
For women with breast shapes of size 3 and above, a bra is a necessary element to maintain the shape and position of the breasts. It helps to distribute the load on the spine evenly and prevents possible pain and discomfort associated with the heaviness of the breasts.
When wearing a bra, the following rules should be followed.
- Wear a bra for no more than 12 hours a day and avoid wearing it while sleeping.
- Prefer comfortable models made from natural materials with a minimum number of seams.
- Choose a bra that fits your size.
- Buy underwear in specialized stores.
- Choose a model depending on its functional purpose (for sports, breastfeeding, creating an evening look).
So, the question of whether to wear a bra or not depends on your breast size and comfort. If your breasts are small and you feel comfortable without a bra, that is absolutely fine.
However, for women with larger breasts, wearing a bra is often a necessity to maintain health and comfort.
