Rumor:

If you don’t wear a bra, your breasts will sag

Rumor refuted:

I dare to say: on weekends when you don’t have to go out, there is no A girl is willing to put on a bra.

Because there is no feeling of restraint, it is really great! ! !

But while letting myself go, I am also particularly entangled and worried: Is it really okay to not wear a bra? Will it cause sagging and deformed breasts?

Can wearing a bra prevent breast sagging?

In fact, under normal circumstances, if the breast size and weight are normal, wearing a bra or not will not have much impact on health. Breast sagging is caused by many factors.

1. Everyone cannot escape the gravity of the earth and the ruthless destruction of time

Regarding this, it is not only our breasts that cannot escape, but all parts of the body are the same.

2. Factors during pregnancy and lactation

After the proliferation of glands and connective tissue in the breast during pregnancy and lactation, the breast skin is stretched and stretched, and the skin elasticity is reduced, resulting in breast skin It cannot retract and recover, so the breasts appear saggy and sagging.

3. Breasts that are too large, overweight and already sagging

The gravity of the earth will definitely take special care of breasts that are too large, overweight and already sagging.

4. Influence of living habits

Having a history of smoking, excessive weight loss, or overweight and obesity, etc., will all have an impact on breast sagging.

So, if you want to rely on bras to save breast sagging, it’s not that I want to pour cold water on it, but the reality has given everyone a wake-up call.

The bra will support the breasts to a certain extent, making the breasts appear plump. It can also protect the breasts to a certain extent and avoid "exposure" of the breasts to prevent them from being hit, squeezed, and External harm. But none of this changes the nature of sagging.

Whether to wear it or not is entirely up to the girls’ preference. Don’t be kidnapped by morality, and there is no need to worry about your health.

Under these circumstances, you still have to wear a bra:

1. When exercising

Wearing a suitable bra can play a buffering role and avoid unnecessary It can also reduce breast sagging caused by exercise.

2. Pregnancy and lactation

Breasts will become larger during pregnancy and lactation. Wearing a nursing bra can support the breasts and reduce the pressure on the suspensory ligaments of the breasts.

3. Breasts that are too large, overweight and already drooping

Support oversized, overweight and droopy breasts against the effects of gravity.

How to choose a bra that suits you?

1. Choose a bra cup of appropriate size

Avoid the lower bust from being too tight. After adjusting the hook and wear, it can be adjusted to allow two to three fingers to be placed against the skin.

2. Try to choose bras made of natural materials such as cotton and silk.

For chemical fiber materials, pay attention to breathability. People who are prone to allergies should avoid bras with lace edges.

3. Choose a bra with wider shoulder straps

If the shoulder straps are too narrow, they will often cause shoulder and cervical spine discomfort.

4. The shoulder strap should be tight enough to fit easily with one finger.

5. Don’t blindly pursue bras that have a gathering effect and shrink the accessory breasts

The so-called gathering is mainly a force from the outside to the inside, which exerts continuous pressure on the breasts. Within a period of time, a gathering effect is produced. However, excessive continuous compression will affect local blood circulation, may cause or aggravate breast pain, and even lead to breast hyperplasia. Especially those suffering from breast-related diseases, it is not recommended to wear "push-up" bras, and the same is true for those with underwires.

Accessory breasts refer to extra breasts or breast-like lumps in addition to the normal pair of breasts on the chest. They mostly occur in the armpits. They are caused by the unregenerated embryonic breast base. Very common in women. Excessive pursuit of the bra's effect of shrinking the secondary breasts may cause the same problem of "gathering".

Still the same sentence: The choice of whether to wear a bra or not is in the girls’ own hands. There is no need to be kidnapped by morality, and there is no need to worry about health.

If you choose to wear it, it is best to choose a suitable bra, and also pay attention to:

1. Do not wear it for too long, preferably no more than 10 hours a day.

2. Deformed bras should be replaced in time.

3. If you don’t sweat a lot, the bra can be worn and cleaned about 2 to 3 times. If you sweat a lot, you should clean it in time.

4. For breasts that are too large, too heavy and already sagging, further plastic surgery can be considered if necessary.
