As a lingerie store clerk/professional bra fitter this article is disconcerting. It may be ok for smaller breasted women to go without bra but larger sizes need the support of a properly fitting bra. It has less to do with societal norms than comfort.

It is common for a woman who is wearing an ill fitting bra to have the band riding up the her back, lots of spillage, straps digging in to her shoulders. Sound familiar?

She may be wearing a 36DD but really should be in a 32G or H. The band should be snug and as low in the front as the back. There should be only one fingers width under the strap at the shoulder. Hiking up the straps to get lift does not work. And the cups should encase and support the breasts.

As for bras being linked to cancer. Is there a history of cancer in the family? Is an ill fitting bra being worn more than 8 hours a day? What other factors are present? Diet, age, smoker or not etc.

The article leaves out a lot of relevant information or chooses not to ask the questions.

Yeah! I’m so happy to read that there may be a legit reason for me to not wear a bra. I do question the science in this article, however. It compared breast cancer incidence between women who wore a bra 24 hours/day and those that wore one less than 12 hours/day. How many women can be found who wear a bra 24 hours a day? Are those women unusual in other ways that may make them more prone to breast cancer?

I think some days its ok with a bra, other days its better without or similar, tight shirt can be cool too. A womans back can hurt without noticing if they don’t wear a bra when doing heavy work or similar. Then later they are surprised to not have a healthy back. But of course it can also be in the way, a bra. I had times when I wouldnt wear one, even if somebody had payed me, I just didnt feel like it.

Considering there’re also studies that support wearing bras (ones THAT FIT, duh!) regularly, I’m gonna choose to not pick a side.

I’m gonna go on wearing my bras because I get back pains if I don’t, since my breasts are a bit larger than average; yeah, you can get shoulder pain from bras when you have large breasts (or you aren’t wearing the right size!), but you’re really just choosing to have back pain instead. Which is waaay worse, IMO. I just take off my bra when I’m laying down, since I don’t have to worry about them needing support then, and because even a proper fitting bra can hurt if you’re laying at an awkward angle.

Vic: “WHO is that in the last pic? My lord she’s phenominal”

Sarah:”There’s also a good chance that all of these women are the product of extreme photoshopping. Of course they look phenomenal…”

There really ARE women who look like them … in your dreams, Vic. Try REAL women for a while, instead of fantasizing caricatures.
