Bras Make Breasts Sag, 15-Year Study Concludes
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/259073#1

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity. On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.”

Prof. Rouillon used a slide rule and a caliper (a device used to measure the distance between two opposite sides of an object) to carefully measure changes in breast features of hundreds of women over a 15-year period at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Besançon.

...

Rouillon found that women who never wore bras had nipples on average seven millimeters higher in relation to their shoulders each year than regular bra users.

No. The opposite is true.

The French have done research on this. The Cooper's ligaments atrophy faster if they are not tugged on.

Dh has some random clothing conservatisms - thinks it's questionable when i wear super high heels in the office, for instance.

But every year or so, I ask him whether my no-bra-outside-the-house-routine is inappropriate. He always, enthusiastically says it's fine. To the point above that no man ever complained about a woman not wearing a bra. This is total, classic woman-shaming-woman behavior.

I'm 32C, 43 yo, and me and DH agree they're pretty much as perky as they were when i was 20 and we met.

I get that others may feel more comfortable wearing a bra. But i don't understand the weird hate that women in the US have for no bras.

Sure but those people stare and are creepy.

And are everyone single man. Some may be polite enough not to stare. No man has ever been offended by a nipple

You don’t know many conservative Christians.

I agree wholeheartedly. Swing low, sweet chariots. And I’ve never once in my life minded a nipple.

- every man ever

Mine don’t point down

PP is clearly jealous. I’m a 36F and my nipples point out. 2 kids, too.

Anyway I hate not wearing a bra. I feel sweaty and gross. I get why other people with smaller boobs wouldn’t want to wear one though and don’t care.

Female humans are the only mammal that has enlarged breasts when not pregnant. Call it a curse of natural selection that has led to societal norms.

Kind of like back in the cave people times, no breasts/ugly breasts just impact how likely you are to get laid or kicked out of the tribe or be viewed as weird in a workplace and impact your career.

There is no reason, just random evolution.

+1 it is painful not to wear a bra.

+2

And also most women look better with good foundation garments. In summer I wear a sports bra around the house or sometimes skip a bra, but I need the support for my breasts, mostly. Perhaps women with small breasts don’t need bras. I get that. But mine need support. Especially during daily exercise.

If you don’t like bras don’t wear them.

We should be able to choose to not wear one without ramifications.

No legal ramifications. You can chose to go braless without social ramifications depending on where you live and how you dress. You have no control over any physical ramifications.
