andersonrandom:jurulia:canisfamiliaris:Bras Do Not Work and Cause More ProblemsThe findings from a 15-year, longitudinal study of more than 300 women in France, suggest that breasts would gain more tone, and would support themselves, if no bra was used. Why? Bras appear to limit the growth of supporting breast tissues, leaving the breast to wither and degrade more quickly. In fact, women who stopped wearing bras experienced a 7mm lift in their nipples each year that they did not wear a bra, and bra-less women developed firmer breasts, and stretch marks faded. And, in direct opposition to the myth that the bra eases back pain for women with larger breasts, not wearing a bra actually eased the pain, while wearing a bra did not.a foresee a braless summerSomebody fact check this!I looked up the researcher on the online database Web of Science, but so far I haven’t found anything about bras. However, Prof. Rouillon appears to have published many research papers, the results for his name were 7 pages.Also please note the last part of the article:However, Rouillon says the findings do not mean all women should throw away their bras.“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,” Rouillon said, according to The Connexion.While his initial results “validated the hypothesis that the bra is a false ‘need’,” he says that women who have been wearing bras for a long time would not gain any benefit from stopping now.So for the moment this seems more like apreliminary study because it isn’t a representational sample. I’d be interested in seeing the experimental design and how they followed through with the women involved, and at what age they started going braless, when said “benefits” were found, etc, etc. -- source link
