Bras make boobs sag more

    Science says no more bras!
    Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports medicine professor from Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon in France, took on the weighty task of studying the effects of bras on women's breasts. After 15 years, he found that the garments do nothing to prevent breasts from sagging — and may even increase it.
    "Our first results confirm the hypothesis that the bra is a false need," Rouillon said, according to France Info.
    "Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity. Instead, it languishes with a bra."
    Wearing a bra inhibits the growth of breast tissue and contributes to poor posture and muscle tone, he said, adding that "the breast will gradually degrade."

    Makes sense I suppose, the natural ligaments that support the breast will obviously weaken if not used.

    I'm off now to burn my bras! :pac:

    My hands are better than a bra.

    He'll be researching women shaving legs and under arms next.

    Does this also apply to bikinis? That would be a downright shame what with summer only just around the corner and all.

    My bra stops my boobs from bouncing when I walk, I dont care about gravity or sagging or whatever

    Women would wear bottoms only - would you not prefer that? Boobs everywhere.

    I feel bad for the guy. Researching for 15 years under the assumption that women buy bras to stop sagging.

    Reasons I wear a bra:
    Stops my nipples being visible
    Stops my boobs bouncing when I walk/run
    Keep them where I want them for aesthetic reasons (not a sagging thing but a while-it's-on thing)

    Are there any exercises to do to reinvigorate the breast muscles?

    Breasts do not have any muscle. They are primarily fat with mith milk lobes and ducts. The muscles of the chest wall can be strengthened but will have very little effect on perkiness.

    The need for bras has never been appairent, but I have always found it impossible to keep abreast of ladies fashions. I wonder if ladies restrain their breasts for fear of schoolboy titters?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,954 ✭✭✭✭Larianne


    Does this research have any proof to support it's claims?

    Jennifer Aniston never wears a bra and her boobs are quite perky, and she in her 40s.

    I think I read somewhere, sometime that developing shoulder muscles help so doing things like pushups. I could be mistaken though

    Stops nipples getting sore from rubbing off clothes too.

    Her plastic surgeon probably helped out to make them perky.

    You let me be the judge of that! :p


    If only the professor had given it another year. I'm with my wife now sixteen years, and when I first met her she was a C cup, now she's a double G cup.

    Yeah, those bras were a bastard... *cough* :pac:

    Exactly! Ever see one of those documentaries about the Amazon or wherever and all them wimminz with their titties around their knees?

    Or maybe that's coz of their monkies swinging outta them all the time? :confused:

    But we gave you all that research money specifically so you'd write a report! :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,327 ✭✭✭Madam_X


    This gets claimed every now and again. If that's the case though, how come on those make-over programmes there's a woman every so often who doesn't bother wearing a bra and her boobs are down to her waist.
    Bras ftw. For many women it's sore not to wear them if you've big jugs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 595 ✭✭✭Steve O


    But I don't wear a bra.:(
