What is No Bra Day and why is it trending on social media?

By Megan Hinton @MeganJourno1



YOU may have seen #NoBraDay trending on social media today but why are people celebrating not wearing a bar?

The Gazette is here to answer your questions on No Bra Day and the meaning behind it.

What is No Bra Day?

No Bra Day encourages women to go without their bra to raise awareness for breast cancer and the challenges that those with it faces.

It encourages women and men to spot early warning signs and get an edge in the fight against cancer.




Why is it important?

It raises breast cancer awareness. If you check your breasts regularly, you are more likely to catch cancer early which minimises your risk.

Breast changes to look out for:

a change in the size, outline or shape of your breast
a change in the look or feel of your skin, such as puckering or dimpling
a new lump, thickening or bumpy area in one breast or armpit that is different from the same area on the other side
nipple discharge that's not milky
bleeding from your nipple
a moist, red area on your nipple that does not heal easily
any change in nipple position, such as your nipple being pulled in or pointing differently
a rash on or around your nipple
any discomfort or pain in one breast, particularly if it is a new pain and doesn't go away (although pain is only a symptom of breast cancer in rare cases)
