Going Bra-less
Bra Doctor's Blog

As a woman, going bra-less might seem crazy to some people, but there is actually some impacting medical evidence in support of this trend. There is no actual evidence that bras help to support breast health, functionality and in reality, women have only been wearing bras for approximately 80 years now. In fact, there is some evidence of connection between wearing bras and increasing your risk for breast cancer. One of the various problems with modern bra apparel, is that most women tend to wear their bras too tightly. This can stop the circulation and flow of blood, thus preventing your breasts from naturally removing toxins.

Wearing tight bras or binding one’s breasts can also lead to a heavy buildup of hormones in one’s breasts which can become extremely toxic to their body. This can lead to an increased risk of cystic fibrosis and breast cancer in the future. In addition, wearing a bra can actually make your breasts appear to be more “saggy” because they can break the ligaments inside of one’s chest. Even if you have larger breasts that seem uncontrollable, not wearing a bra could help your breasts to heal broken ligaments and in fact, make help your breasts more “perky” over time.

However, it is normal to experience some breast pain after making the transition to go bra-less. It may take time for your body to become used to no longer wearing a bra. But remember, women have existed for thousands of years sporting the bra-less look. If going bra-less makes you feel uncomfortable, you should consider wearing bras that are not too tight and do not constrict your oxygen or flow of blood. Remember, both the breasts and nipples are just as much a part of the human body as one’s legs, arms, and feet. So there is no need to be ashamed of going bra-less and letting your breasts breathe.

This decision is not overtly sexual, nor is it necessarily provocative; instead, it is a health-conscious and personal choice. You have every right to dress in any way that makes you happy,comfortable and you should never have to feel ashamed for any decisions that you make regarding your personal appearance.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
