Ladies, It’s Time To Take off That Bra. It Makes Breasts “Saggier”, French Study Reveals.

Researcher Prof. Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports science expert from the University of Besançon in eastern France claims that “bras are a false necessity,” according to The Local. “Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity,” said Rouillon. “On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.”

Rouillon and his team spent years measuring the changes in the breasts of 330 women using a simple slide rule and caliper at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (University Hospital) in Besançon, where he carried out his research. He found that no evidence that bras helped ease back pain. Instead, he found that the chest supports could even add to the problem.

The study found that women who took off their bras for good experienced a 7mm lift in their nipples each year they didn’t wear a bra. Researchers also found that bra-less women developed firmer breasts and saw their stretch marks fade. Some of the women who took part in Rouillon’s study told France Info that not wearing a bra helped ease their back pains.

If you must wear a bra, consider ones with no underwire and aren’t too tight. Try to wear the bra for as short of a time as possible, and give your breasts a good rub and massage after they’ve been released! By no means should you ever be sleeping in your bra. If you are worried about your nipples showing, maybe consider wearing a camisole under your shirt, but even if they do show, it’s not the end of the world.
