LADIES TOP INNER ATTIRE UNHEALTHY ?? Reproducing a news item - Ladies, this may have something in it.  Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online Bras, brasseires, over-the-shoulder boulder holders — whatever you call them, they have been a socially accepted clothing standard for the greater part of 100 years. Yet one man believes these garments which are seen as a necessary evil are more evil than necessary. Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon is a sports medicine specialist from France who believes bras are doing more harm than good to women´s breasts. In fact, Rouillon believes breasts would be healthier and stronger if they never come in contact with a bra at all. Many women feel the need to wear the undergarment to fight the effects of sagging, but according to Rouillon´s extensive research, forgoing the bra will actually help breasts stand up against sagging naturally. “Our first results confirm the hypothesis that the bra is a false need,” said Rouillon in an interview with FranceInfo explaining his study. “Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity. Instead, it languishes with a bra.” The French sports medicine specialist has spent the last 15 years armed with a caliper and ruler, regularly taking measurements of 330 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 35. Though it´s slow going, Rouillon observed that women who did not wear a bra saw their breasts lift by as much as 7 millimeters (0.275 inches) each year. The braless women also reported firmer breasts, disappearing stretch marks and reduced back pain. According to Rouillon, women gain no anatomical, medical, or physiological benefit from having their weight supported by a bra. The French researcher also said wearing a bra can prohibit the growth of supportive tissues under the breast. If a woman wears a bra every day throughout her youth, these tissues could begin to degrade, thereby causing the breasts to sag. When women skip the bra, these tissues and muscles are given a chance to become stronger as evidenced in the lift observed. Professor Rouillon isn´t suggesting a bra-fueled bonfire, however. His research has found that ditching the bra is best for younger women who haven´t spent much time in the underwear. Older women who have been wearing a bra for many years won´t see any benefit by giving up now. “It would be dangerous to advise all women to stop wearing their soutien-gorge as the women involved were not a representative sample of the population,” said Rouille in an interview with Connexion, an English-language French newspaper. Yet one 28-year old volunteer who has been working with Rouillon throughout this study says she´s been experiencing multiple health benefits by losing the bra. According to the woman referred to only as “Capucine,” going braless has helped her stand more upright, relieved her back pain and has even helped her breathe more easily.

From personal experience I would say they are necessary. Back in the 70's I was part of the burn my bra movement until I went on a 500 mile road trip over back roads through Mexico in a VW Van. Bras serve a necessary function. Spiritwoman ^i^

Welcome to my blog, Freewayrider. To tell you the truth, I know no better. I shall, however, google the possible and likely harms of bra and also consult an oncologist friend. Have a great Sunday and the coming week. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

Your response has positivity spilling all over which is the secret of your contentment despite all the problems that you dealt with and with a calm competence, sympathy for those who needed it and dedication to a set of high values.  Not many women, age notwithstanding, say that they are blessed not to be well endowed.I am sure that though the bad luck may chase you, it will never defeat you.

No way - I believe in real money. Stocks are not even paper money (but money on paper) and so are bonds unless guaranteed by at least two banks. Therefore, Traveler, I would much rather invest on the owners of the contents of the bras rather than stocks of bras.  One such investment that I made continues to live with me happily and vice versa. Many thanks - have a lovely Sunday, My Friend, and the week ahead.

Lololol - Mrs Joe; you have set me thinking. My military mind is contemplating designing inner apparel cantilevers. I might patent a design of the design. Have a wonderful Sunday and the coming week, both you and Mr Joe. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

Thanks for your visit, Frewayryder. If you need a bra and a comfortable fit, please wear one. Each one of us has a different set of personal circumstances. My blog here is just one study - I am still pondering its universal applicability. Have a nice Sunday and the coming week. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

Your concern about the material that is used in making a bra is very relevant in my opinion. I was once presented a shirt four years ago which was wrinkle resistant. I wore it once in Gangtok (average temperature 18*C). I broke into rashes all over. Wearing or not wearing of a bra has to remain the choice of the lady - at this point of time, the efficacy of the study is yet to be established, in my opinion. Have a great Sunday and the week ahead. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

The bigger they are -- the harder they fall bra or no bra  I agree with the harder fall - I do not blame the size though; gravity is the culprit. Have a lovely day, SpunkyLady. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

I tend to agree with you, Grandbluff. As I said earlier - to everyone according to her or his own feeling and/or need and the need of the activity. Bra is just another part of what women feel comfortable, smart or just contented (their own appearance-wise) with themselves. Society's concepts of decent or otherwise also have changed with times. Spot on about horse riding and the need for women to wear a bra while on horseback. This is not unlike men needing athletic supporters. Have a great Sunday and the week ahead.

Welcome to my blog, Mr Buhlman. In a landing by a parachutist or of an aeroplane, there comes a point when the commitment to a landing is such that it can not in any way be aborted. You imply that the bra was a similar signal  .Your expertise would be the envy of many. Cleavages, wherever, certainly have that definite element of irresistibility.Have a nice Sunday and a happy week ahead. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra

I bet the professor always had a deep hand in the business of bras; mentioning younger women was just a choice he made to expound something albeit indirectly.  Laughing here with you, ET Have a great week ahead and the Sunday too. "To fight the darkness do not draw your sword, light a candle" - Zarathustra
