Your Bra Is Actually Making Your Breasts Saggier, According to This French Boob Scientist
LatestWell, it only took 15 years of rigorous study, but one French researcher has finally unearthed the truth about your brassiere: It isn’t keeping your boobs from sagging, like you thought, it’s actually causing them to sag. So take it off. Take it off!!! 911!!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! (Oh, but not you, old ladies. It’s too late for you, the research specifies, so please keep yours caged up as tightly as possible.)
Professor Jean-Denis “Hoh-Hoh-Hohhh” Rouillon used calipers to measure changes in the breasts of 330 women over 15 years, and found that over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders didn’t do anything they were purported to do for your boulders—they didn’t alleviate back pain (in fact, they exacerbated it), and they didn’t prevent breast tissue from sagging (in fact, they caused your mamz to “wither”). The bra, he says, is a “false need.” GREAT. So what have I been doing with my life? This betrayal shall not stand!
According to The Connexion, the findings suggest that breasts would gain more tone and support themselves if no bra was used. Researchers explain that bras limit the growth of supporting breast tissues, leaving the breast to wither and degrade more quickly.
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 toldFrance Info that not wearing a bra helped ease their back pains.
Capucine, a 28-year-old participant in Rouillon’s study, swears by the results and hasn’t worn a bra for two years.
“There are multiple benefits: I breathe more easily, I carry myself better, and I have less back pain,” Capucine said, according to France Info.
Well, doodly-do. Quit braggin’, lady.
