RE: To Bra or Not to Bra - That is the Burning Question...
Despite having no skin in the game (literally in his case) I've wondered about this a lot.
I read somewherea while back (can't find the article yet) that the mostly, the entire notion sagging is really due to overwearing bras and skin losing its elasticity as a result. Is there any truth to that?
Oh yes, you've reminded of this - I'm sure I've read it somewhere too... that bras contribute to sagging over the years rather than help you avoid it. I guess it kinda makes sense, because your chest muscles are not having to work at all if you are wearing a bra. Interesting...
Well muscles notwithstanding, your skin's natural elasticity isn't being used. So it stops reinforcing with all the movement.
Right yes, it stands to reason... I did a little reading around and apparently bras can negatively affect both the skin elasticity and also the muscles in the breasts called 'suspension muscles' which work with connective tissue structures to keep everything supported.
Oh I was wondering about that!
If we had some kind of muscle working to hold them up.
