Every October 13th is designated #NoBraDay , a day to ditch your bra and raise awareness about breast cancer. New research showed that women do not need to wear bras. In fact, there is now evidence showing that not wearing a bra is better for your overall health.
Apparently, going without a bra promotes more tone and supporting breast tissue and wearing a bra from a young age does not help support the chest nor reduce back pain or prevent breast sagging.
Research have found that the women who did not wear bras have perkier breasts. In a study, women that stopped wearing bras – through choice had a lift in their nipples when compared with regular bra users. Bras, they claim, could hamper circulation and reduce breast tone over time. There is no health benefits to wearing a bra and that our breasts are actually better off without them. Here are some reasons why you should ditch those bras today.
Better digestion: Did you know that if your bra straps are too tight they can slow down digestion? Research has stated that poorly fitted bras can cause digestive problems and can even lead to constipation. Because the tight straps cause us to slump over, reducing the amount of air we breathe in, constricting our diaphragm, and causing digestive problems, the cry is louder than ever to either find the right bra size or give up bras altogether. To quickly find out if your bra may be causing you stomach problems, check your shoulders after wearing your bra all day. If there are red marks, your stomach problems may be the result of an ill-fitted bra.
Unsightly marks: After a long day at work and wearing a bra, you come home and decide to slip into a pretty, slinky top to go hang out with your friends. You take off your bra, because you can’t wear it under the top, and you have unsightly red marks on your back and shoulders. Those red marks are a sure sign that your bra does not fit you properly. Straps need to be adjusted and you may need to get fitted properly for a new batch of bras. Of course, you could give up wearing a bra entirely, which is what some women have done so that they can wear their favorite slinky tops.

Prevents thrust: Thrush is a yeast infection that can easily pass from a mother’s breast to her breastfed infant. It can cause a woman’s nipples to become sore, red, and cracked. The infant can develop the thrush in her mouth which leads to white patches and sore areas inside the mouth. A natural method to prevent and treat thrush is to go braless. The yeast needs a dark and moist environment to thrive in and bras help provide that environment. By removing the bra, a mother’s br3asts can air dry after each feeding. Sun exposure is also believed to be helpful for women experiencing br3ast thrush.
Sore no more: Underwire poking you. Straps digging into you. Tags irritating you. It all adds up and makes wearing bras very uncomfortable. It’s OK, you can admit it, get it off your chest.
Reduces headache: A tight bra band can cause problems for some women. It reduces blood flow and can affect the nerves in the back and neck. Aside from the skin irritations, such as rashes, that a tight band can cause, it can also give women tension headaches. While the easiest solution is to stop or reduce bra wearing, you should also get yourself properly fitted for a sports bra which, according to some doctors, can help eliminate the health problems associated with a bra that is too tight.
You will perk up: Your breasts will actually get perkier without bra. It sounds counter intuitive but is very much true, nonetheless. There are ligaments in breasts with the purpose of providing support. When you wear a bra, you’re leaving no work for ligaments. Not unlike a muscle, if they’re not put to use, they deteriorate. Research has found out how bra use or lack of use affects br3asts found that women who wore bras were causing their breasts to sag prematurely, bra use stops the muscle tissue from growing whereas women who did not wear bras developed strong breast tissue. This stronger tissue gave their breasts a natural lift and helped prevent early sagging.
Helps eliminate poor posture: While many of us were led to believe that wearing a bra helps with our posture, the opposite may be true. A poorly fitted bra or one that is too tight around the middle can cause poor back posture. A band that is too tight around the middle can create a spot in the back where the upper half and the lower half no longer work effectively together. This can lead us to slumping our shoulders and upper back and slumping our lower back, causing mild to severe back pain. The most obvious way to work on improving our posture is to spend more time not wearing a bra and, if we must wear one, to get one that is properly fitted for our body.
It’s easier to breathe: Bra straps and the band are very constrictive. When women stop wearing a bras, they find it easier to take deep breaths. Practicing yoga and meditation is also far easier when you can take a deep inhale without a band tightening even more around the middle.
Style: Going braless is the latest trend in fashion. It’s happening on red carpets in addition to the runway. It’s edgy. it’s fun, it’s sexy and it’s playful.
