Five Things That Happens Once You Stop Wearing Bra

From generations, women have been told to wear a bra as they turn a teenager. Unsurprisingly, bras become an imperative part of their wardrobes. While most of us feel lively without it, there are a few who also feel strange or, to an extent wrong by not wearing it. But, other than just worrying about society, have you ever wondered what happens once you stop wearing a bra? If yes, then we are here to unravel everything good and bad that happens by going braless.

Better Circulation

Yes, we all have had those days, when wearing a bra for hours felt constricting. The tighter the bra, the more you are likely to feel squeezed in your own body. By not wearing a bra, one can have better blood flow in the muscles and all other parts of the body. If you have medium or large breasts, you will be benefitting the most by ditching your lingerie as bras supporting larger breasts tend to fit tighter and thus they interrupt more blood circulation.

Better Breast Skin Health

The sweat, dirt, smell, and moisture all get trapped inside your bra affecting the skin of your breasts big time. Not only does it causes skin irritation, but it also clogs the pores. Reportedly, a certain type of skin irritation called, acne mechanica happens due to wearing a bra for longer durations. In this, the skin suffers repetitive physical trauma, leading to rashes, redness, and itchiness.

Elevates Back Pain

Ladies with bigger breasts may face some problem by ditching bra. While there are lingeries that are just fancy, others are actually bras that are functional and support the weight of your breasts. Without a bra, you are left to do all the heavy lifting on your own and further the maximum pressure comes on your back causing some major aches and pains. A 34-year old Delhi-based housewife revealed, “The idea of going braless fascinates me a lot, but due to the size of my breast, that is 36 A, I cannot function without it. Be it mopping the floor or playing with my children, doing tasks without wearing a bra makes me slow and gives me excruciating pain in the back.”

No Saggy Breasts

Many might think that going braless can make their breast saggy. But this is not the case. Reportedly, a study led by sports science expert, Jean-Denis Rouillon, bras are not necessary as the breasts do not benefit from this piece of clothing. Instead, as per the study, breasts “get saggier with a bra.” The reason is simple. Due to constant support, the breast tissue becomes still and weak. But, as you stop wearing them, your breasts have to adapt and they end up becoming neutral and supports themselves.
