Women have long been told that a good bra can help support the chest, relieve back pain and prevent sagging. However, a new 15-year French study reveals the opposite: bras do little to reduce back pain and, over time, they can actually make breasts sag even more.


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.

Researcher Prof. Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports science expert from the University of Besançon in eastern France claims that “bras are a false necessity,” according to The Local.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically – breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity,” said Rouillon. “On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.”

Rouillon and his team spent years measuring the changes in the breasts of 330 women using a simple slide rule and caliper at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (University Hospital) in Besançon, where he carried out his research.

He found that no evidence that bras helped ease back pain. Instead, he found that the chest supports could even add to the problem.

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.

Some of the women who took part in Rouillon’s study told France 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.

However, Rouillon says the findings do not mean all women should throw away their bras.

“It would be dangerous to advise all women to stop wearing their soutien-gorge as the women involved were not a representative sample of the population,” Rouillon said, according to The Connexion.

While his initial results “validated the hypothesis that the bra is a false ‘need’,” he says that women who have been wearing bras for a long time would not gain any benefit from stopping now.

My Open letter to bosoms (na the reigning style be dat)

Thrash!!!

Serious?

My gf boobs stand still without it

Without reading the article, I have come to the conclusion that bras actually makes breast sag

Why not give us a catchy title than telling us what to read before reading?

Tell that to gravity!!

Isn't this silly?

Bras hide nipples! That dudes dont like.

This could be true, I witnessed somthin dat may validate dis survey.
I servd in benue for some time,
Now during dat period I noticed so many out of place stuffs, one of which was the size of female bosoms,
The females even teenage girls posses extreemly large breasts,
Surprisingly, these tenage girls dont wear bras, its believed that, if you wear a bra, you definitely are a married person' a teenage girl once told me..
Now that is a little funny, but to my amazement, the ladies in this rural area in benue have pointy breasts, I know dis cos d tip of the breasts is always visible after they are dressed.
Its really unbelivable buh I think its tru, they hardly wear bras, but as big as their breasts look, it is still very firm and pointy, unlike d ones I have seen before, in lagos and other neighbourin states
So I think this claim could be true.
Thank me lara.
