Study reveals wearing bras just may be harmful to your breasts

This may prove interesting, seeing as most Nigerian women believe in wearing a bra for a more conservative look, from a religious, moral and cultural perspective

Wearing bras may be harmful

A 15 year study conducted by Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, reveals that bras may be doing more harm than good to the breasts.

This may prove interesting, seeing as most Nigerian women believe in wearing a bra for a more conservative look, from a religious, moral and cultural perspective.

According to Rouillon, “Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity”.

Rouillon examined the breasts of 300 women from age 18-35, observing how the support from bras influenced their bodies and health in the long run.

He found out that women who didn’t use a bra benefited more.

According to Capucine Vercellotti, a 28 year old lady, “At first, I was a little reluctant to the idea of running without a bra, but I got started and after five minutes, I had no trouble at all,”

Rouillon advised that women who have worn bras for a very long time adjust gradually, rather than not wearing bras completely and suddenly, which could be more dangerous. That way your breasts could build more strength.
