Almost all women wear bras throughout the day, and some do so even at night. They come in a wide variety of forms, hues, and dimensions. However, did you know that you can make your breasts look fuller and more attractive without wearing a bra?
What a lot of people don’t know is that squeezing your breasts into a bra can often have negative consequences on the attractiveness of your bust as well as on your general health. If you put away your bra right now, things will start to happen that you were probably never aware of.
1. YOUR CUP SIZE INCREASES
It’s not a joke: If you were to stop wearing your bra, you could go from
being a B-cup to a C-cup after a while. You would start to use your
chest muscles more, in order to resist the pull of gravity on your
breasts. Of course, they won’t magically become fuller but it could very
well be that they perk up in a natural way, making them appear bigger.
2. YOUR BREASTS GET A NICER SHAPE
Many women believe that wearing a bra prevents their breasts from
sagging. However, that is not always the case. A French study has shown
that removing the bra can even lead to perkier breasts.
3. A HEALTHIER BUST
Bras aren’t necessarily bad for your breasts, of course. But in the same
study, it was demonstrated that the wrong size bra could have many
unpleasant side effects such as discomfort or shortness of breath. By
ditching your bra, your blood flow improves, you end up using your
pectoral muscles more and it’s more hygienic because body sweat that
accumulates between the bra and your breasts usually forms a breeding
ground for bacteria. By omitting the bra, you also omit this problem.
4. YOU’LL FEEL BETTER
A lot of women love that feeling when, after a long day at work, they
can finally come home and take off their bras, especially if they are
too tight and not very comfortable. Now, just imagine being able to
enjoy this feeling every minute, of every hour, of every day. The
feeling itself is reason enough to question the necessity of a bra.
5. SLEEP DISORDERS CAN DISAPPEAR
If you keep your bra on when you go to bed, and have problems falling
asleep or sleeping through the night, your bra might be the problem. A
study showed that wearing a bra can interfere with sleep patterns, which
means that women get less sleep. This has to make you curious about
sleeping braless at night, right?
6. YOU SAVE MONEY
A stylish bra that sits well could cost you around $100. Of course,
there are cheaper types of bras out there but the quality is never as
good, and you usually end up needing to buy another new bra shortly
after. With the money that you would spend on bras, you could save or
invest in something you really need or want.
7. IT IMPROVES YOUR BLOOD CIRCULATION
Have you ever thought about what the tight elastic of your bra does to
your body? Wherever this touches the skin, your blood vessels are
pinched and blood can no longer flow as usual. This can have a negative
impact on your overall well-being, leaving you feeling fatigued and
lethargic. If you get rid of the bra, you might find yourself feeling
more fit and alert!
There are cases where wearing a well-fitted bra is of course recommended, like if you take part in endurance sports or if you have a particularly large cup size. Otherwise, these seven advantages should make you reconsider wearing your bra so often, if at all!
