What happens if you go without a bra. Getting rid of underwear: how to walk in the summer without a bra

Is the bra harmful or is it another "duck" of the "British scientists"? How to choose a bra that definitely does not harm breast health? Today we will talk about this in the women's club "Who is over 30."

Doctors and experts from Germany say that any bra should be worn no more than 6-8 hours a day. What now, as soon as the working day ends, to drop the "armor"?

Not necessarily, but there are some tips to follow:

• when buying, meticulously evaluate whether the bra is too tight;
• do not buy bras that lift your breasts;
• it is worth abandoning bras with pads made of synthetic materials - these create a "greenhouse effect";
• do not buy strapless bras - in this case, the entire weight of your chest falls on the sides of the body, which puts direct pressure on the lymph nodes;
• you can't sleep in a bra.

A tight underwire bra, of course, makes the breasts visually larger and more magnificent, but at the same time it can lead to all sorts of troubles.

To begin with, it is worth noting that the skin suffers. In this area, it is usually more tender, and therefore red stripes form from prolonged contact with the material.

They do not look very beautiful, in addition, they are not so harmless.

As one of the consequences: local dystrophy - malnutrition of this area of ​​the skin. This can occur with the systematic wearing of a tight bra. And then "increasingly": dry skin, sores.

The harm of a tight model bra is also as follows.

Violated the sensitivity of the skin in the area of ​​the mammary gland, nipple. This area becomes extremely sensitive, up to painful sensations. Or another extreme is possible - a complete loss of sensitivity.

When the bra strongly tightens the chest, the inflow and outflow of blood, as well as the movement of lymph, are disturbed in the vessels of this organ.

Bra and oncology

American doctors "trumpet" that when wearing bras, the risk of getting breast cancer increases by as much as 21 times. The women's club site decided to "dig" deeper and figure out what is the reason for such a statement.

In all likelihood, speaking of such a risk, doctors had in mind the systematic wearing of tight bras that put pressure on the armpits and the entire upper chest area.

The mammary gland receives nutrients in the direction from the axillary zone, and also from the intercostal space through the sternum. The outflow of fluid is also carried out towards the armpits. The process of fluid circulation in the gland is disturbed if tight-fitting underwear is selected for constant wear.

Especially the harm of the bra is felt before menstrual bleeding, when the breast becomes slightly larger. The bra begins to press, of course, stronger. And in the chest, the fluid balance worsens even more.

And if this kind of "torture" lasts not a month or two, the development of diffuse is possible. And this disease can lead to cancer in the future. So there is still some truth in whether it is harmful to wear a bra, whether there is a danger of cancer.

At the same time, let's also not forget that it is not only those who wear a bra who are at risk of getting breast cancer. There are many more factors:

• heredity,
• constant smoking,
• bad food,
• strong tan,
• stress.

And in order to be completely frank with yourself, do not be lazy to regularly come for examinations to a mammologist. And learn simple self-diagnosis techniques once a month - then, at the slightest suspicion, you can “sound the alarm” in time. This is much better, more honest and more competent than blaming the manufacturers of underwear for everything later.

Is a brightly colored bra harmful?

How can this be harmful, you ask?

On the contrary, it is useful - after all, bright underwear attracts and allows you to hit your beloved man, if not in the very heart, then at least a little lower.

Well, experts advise choosing bras in poisonous tones very meticulously. As a rule, such shades are obtained in the process of using dyes of a synthetic nature and of unknown origin.

Of course, such bras are attractive and beautiful, they look sexy, but it is not known what kind of reaction they can cause on the skin.

The harm of a bra that is incorrectly selected really exists.

Wrong size, bad model, bad material - usually if the manufacturer is unknown. Or, for example, linen is bought in a subway passage or on a market square.

Another thing is the right bra.

What is good about him:

• keeps the pectoral muscles in good shape,
• helps to maintain the correct shape of the breast, especially after childbirth,
• takes the load off your back and shoulders if you have a large size,
• protects against mechanical injury, etc.

So, with the right choice of underwear, and also if they are not abused (no matter how strange it may sound), a bra is only good. But do not forget that the wrong bra is harmful!

Who is over 30 - a club for women after 30.

Recently, we received a question from a reader in the mail on a rather intimate topic.

Is it ethical not to wear a bra?

she wrote at the end of her letter, as if embarrassed, and I thought, yes, it's time to talk about it. So we'll figure it out.

I remember how at one point all my classmates changed into tight and thick push-up bras to appear older. I remember how inconvenient it was to come to the store for them and figure out the sizes. I remember how I did not like my small breasts, and this caused some kind of self-doubt. And I also remember how I just took it and forgot forever about what a bra is.
Of course, initially everything depends on physiology. As far as you know, women with large breasts are much less fortunate in terms of comfort than women like me. They have to constantly maintain their forms, and this creates certain inconveniences. For example, in the summer it is hot in a bra, and even if the chest is larger than the standard size, then there are difficulties with choosing beautiful underwear, the back gets tired, it is hard to run, and certain changes occur with age. But, despite all the difficulties, large breasts have always been considered a separate plus for a girl, especially in combination with a thin waist. Men love it, but this does not mean that breasts will significantly change something in your life.
I understand and support changes in myself and even plastic surgery, if you have any medical indications for this or congenital asymmetry, ugly nipples and everything that causes complexes and does not allow you to live in peace and build your personal life. In any other case, surgery just like that never aroused positive emotions in me. The chest (like any part of our body) is beautiful and you can enjoy it for a month or a year, but a person needs a person, so without any pleasant character traits, your chest will forever remain just a part of the body.

If you have small breasts, then don't worry either. Small breasts, as I found out later, can also be beautiful if given freedom. In fact, my rejection of the bra was progressive and it was not related to the guys at all. I met a girl who never wore a bra, and at first I watched her for a long time, as if she were something unusual, then I refused the bra under bulky things, and then threw everything away. Although, no, I'm lying. Left a few for a rainy day. Did I regret it? No. Does this make me uncomfortable? No. Do people judge me? No. Am I happy? Yes.

Speaking of this, it is impossible not to mention the Free the Nipple movement. Its founder, American filmmaker Lina Esco, made a film of the same name in 2012 that championed the right of women to be topless in certain everyday situations on an equal footing with men, but it was not censored. In short, the essence of the movement lies in the usual injustice. Why is the exposure of women's breasts a centuries-old taboo? Why in social networks can not show nipples? How is the male nipple different from the female? Why is it normal for a man without a T-shirt, but a woman will always be perceived as vulgar, depraved and inappropriate? In fact, there is no definite answer to these questions. It's just that our mentality and our traditions are so deeply rooted in us that we don't know how it could be otherwise.

I clearly remember how a hundred years ago I first saw a German woman sunbathing without a top abroad, I was shocked. I thought it was unacceptable and just a nightmare. The second, third and fourth time, I already understood that this was normal, perhaps even convenient - there were no stripes on the body. I just got used to it and stopped not only being surprised, but also paying some special attention to them. It is logical to assume that if women begin to give themselves freedom, then other people will get used to it and stop making a sensation out of it all.

Publication from Underwear "BLIZHE"(@blizhe) Feb 4, 2018 at 12:49 pm PST

The rules set by Instagram and Facebook include blocking photos that show female breasts with bare nipples, not only when the woman is naked, but also if she is wearing a thing made of transparent fabric. This, according to the participants of the #FreeTheNipple campaign, is discrimination, with which I fully agree. In any case, it would be fair if male breasts were also subject to blocking, and bare-chested men were not allowed to appear at the pool. I think you yourself feel that reflections themselves led to thoughts about feminism, about equality and the rights of women.

Many women wear a bra every day, but do not know all the necessary information about this wardrobe item. Sometimes it is embarrassing to ask for an answer, although the question is extremely simple. Read on for detailed information on the most common bra-related questions to get a better understanding of them. Knowing all these answers, you will be able to provide yourself with comfort and properly care for your linen.

Should I wear a bra?

This question can be answered very briefly: no! You don't have to wear this piece of clothing, you have absolutely no reason to. Just for comfort, support, and etiquette, it may be logical to do so. If you have small breasts or tight enough clothes that are comfortable without a bodice, you can quite afford not to wear a bra sometimes if you want to.

How many bras do you need?

A woman should have five to seven good base bodices. Every time you open a chest of drawers, you should think about choosing comfortable underwear. If the thought of this or that bra makes you uncomfortable, it is not chosen correctly. In addition, the above number does not include special types of underwear, for example, strapless. It is this number of bras that can last you as long as possible and can be considered sufficient.

How often should you wash your bra?

You need to arrange laundry after you have worn your underwear five to seven times. The principle here is the same as with jeans. No need to wash after every wear. Washing too often will only make things worse. However, there are exceptions. If you sweat profusely, immediately send the laundry to the wash. Sports bras also need to be washed every time you wear them because they will be soaked with sweat. Follow these simple rules to take good care of your underwear and avoid having to buy new ones ahead of schedule.

How to wash?

You should wash the bodices by hand and air dry them. Soak laundry in soapy water, rinse well and hang to dry. Experts recommend using concentrated soap when washing, which was created specifically for underwear. If you want to wash everything in the machine, use a gentle cycle that won't harm your clothes. To keep the straps elastic and prevent them from tangling, fasten them at the back and place the bra in a laundry bag. Never use an automatic dryer for clothes: as a result of its use, the bones can tear the fabric, and the elastic bands can stretch. Where better to gently dry clothes on a towel.

How long can a bra be worn?

Linen can be worn for about a year if cared for properly. If you use five to seven pieces of clothing and wash them by hand, you should be good for a year. If you wear the same bodice or wash it incorrectly, you will need to buy a new one earlier, because the fabric will be in poor condition and the linen will no longer be able to cope with its functions.

Should I wear a bra to bed?

You can sleep in linen, but you don't have to. If you wear a bodice to bed, it must be comfortable and pitted. Otherwise, you will risk your health. An underwire bra is not designed to be used in a lying or twisted position. You can wear soft cotton bodices. It is convenient and not harmful to health. This will be especially true on a trip or during menstruation, when the sensitivity of the mammary glands increases greatly.

How to determine if the size is correct?

There are several ways to determine if you have chosen the right size. First, fasten the loosest hook. In this case, the bra band should fit your body and be parallel to the floor. Cups and underwire should fit perfectly to the chest, not too tight, but not too loose. The breast should be entirely placed in the cup. The inner part between the cups should fit to the body, and not dangle. Straps should be tight, but not constraining movement. They are responsible for only ten percent of the support, and the belt provides ninety. If the linen is chosen correctly, you will not be able to pull the straps far over your shoulders. Finally, you must be comfortable. Do not believe that a spacious bodice will provide you with comfort. Comfortable in a spacious T-shirt, but with underwear everything is different: if it is not the right size, it will just hang out. Do you want to be comfortable throughout the day? Choose the right size so that the bra fits your skin and does not cause you anxiety. It's the perfect way to feel good.

Can men wear women's underwear?

It turns out that men can actually wear bodices. Being overweight or having a medical problem leading to an increase in breast tissue in a man may be an indication to wear underwear. This is important for feeling confident and comfortable. If a man needs help, there is nothing wrong with using underwear. You just need to contact a sizing specialist to help you make the best choice.

Should a bra be uncomfortable?

You should not feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, you should be more comfortable. Many women think that underwear should be uncomfortable and that it is perfectly normal to look forward to the end of the day when you can change. The same opinion exists about shoes. In fact, if the shoes are uncomfortable, they are simply ill-fitting. Find underwear that fits well and suits your body. In this case, you will always feel comfortable and confident. Try to give up uncomfortable bodices so as not to harm your health and not spoil your mood, because this is absolutely not the norm!

What should be done if the chest is asymmetrical?

It is quite normal if the chest is not quite symmetrical. It's like arms or legs, breasts can't be perfectly symmetrical. According to experts, it is usually difficult to notice the difference in size and a good bodice will easily correct it. Choose lingerie that fits your larger bust and adjust it with straps. If the difference is too large, you still need to focus on a larger size. You can use the insert for those breasts that are smaller than the cup. This will make you feel comfortable and look good at the same time. When choosing, you can seek help from a specialist, this will provide you with the perfect result in any situation.

Is it okay to wear different sizes of underwear?

It is quite normal if you have different sizes of bras from different stores. The same woman can wear a dozen different sizes, it's quite real! This happens with other clothes too: you don’t change, but you wear different sizes, because the patterns are different and the features of the cut also play a role. For example, you may need a different size if the bodice is made from stretch fabric. The size can seriously fluctuate depending on the country in which the linen was made. For example, the European size range is different from the American one. In addition, with age, underwear may require a different size. Some women may require different sizes during their cycle as well. Just listen to yourself and focus on comfort, this will allow you to always make the right choice, not focusing on hypothetical standards.

The bra "works" for the benefit of female beauty and attractiveness. It helps girls feel irresistible, attract the attention of a male. With the help of modern models, you can not only form a beautiful shape, but also visually add a couple of sizes to the bust.

In addition, the bra also has a protective function. It protects the chest from possible injuries. And they, as doctors say, lie in wait for the protruding forward part of the female body almost everywhere. For the chest, a flea market in public transport, sudden movements in household or sports become several times more dangerous.

On the other hand, a bra cannot be called a comfortable thing. Some models strongly squeeze the chest, making it difficult for blood circulation. The bra can cause pain in the back and neck, unpleasant abrasions. It was these factors that prompted American scientists to conduct an experiment whose purpose was to determine whether women really need a bra.

Russian mammologists assure: discomfort, osteochondrosis and other negative consequences will arise only if you choose the wrong bra. Underwear of the correct size will not cause discomfort.

The results obtained by the Americans surprised the public. It turns out that the likelihood of breast cancer regularly wearing a bra is about 20 times higher. Comparisons were made that either completely ignore it or put it on sporadically. Scientists concluded that this state of affairs is due to constant compression, which leads to impaired circulation and stagnation of deteriorating cells and toxins. Subsequently, they are transformed into cancerous nodules.

Studies have shown that both girls with small and large breasts can safely refuse a bra. However, not everyone decides not to wear this underwear. Some beauties will be embarrassed by the chest that is visible through the jacket, others will experience physiological discomfort. After all, walking and running without a bra is somewhat inconvenient, especially if the bust size is above average.

Girls with large breasts find it difficult to do without a bra. During active movements, the bust is constantly pulled back, which leads to pain. Also, a bra is necessary for sports.

Scientists assure that the absence of a bra will not lead to sagging breasts. Regular exercise that strengthens the muscles will help prevent this. Also, experts give advice, following which will help minimize the risk of a dangerous disease.

Always take off your bra before going to bed. Even simple rag options put pressure on tissues, complicating blood circulation. Wear push-up bras and products with synthetic pads as little as possible. With medium and large breasts, always choose products with straps. In bustier bras, the weight is transferred to the sides, due to which the pressure on the lymph nodes increases several times.

The conclusion of the scientists was simple: women should use a bra as little as possible. To keep the breasts beautiful and firm, use special oils, lotions, creams. Exercise regularly to strengthen your back and shoulder muscles.

Hello Anastasia.

Puberty, incl. and change in breast size, begins in all women at different ages. For some girls, this happens at the age of 10, while for others, this period begins a little later, by the age of 12-13. At the same time, the shape and size of the breast do not depend on the age at which it began to grow. This is not a pathology, because the time of onset of puberty depends on many factors, incl. and from heredity.

At this time, some girls begin to wear bras, although many have absolutely no need for this. The desire to wear a bra in different girls arises for various reasons. Someone really needs it, because the breast has reached a large size and needs support. Other girls want to wear nice lingerie to look their best. Some wear bras to make their breasts appear larger, at least visually. There is also a category of girls who do not need to wear a bra at all, but dream of this part of the wardrobe in order to keep up with their girlfriends and look like everyone else. At the same time, many mothers are against bras, and the question arises whether it is really necessary.

Should a teenage girl wear a bra?

If the girl's breasts are very small, then, of course, you can do without a bra. However, many adolescents face purely psychological problems, which are expressed in ridicule from peers. Of course, in this case, it is better to buy a bra. At the same time, you should not opt ​​for bras with a push-up effect, as well as with large foam rubber fillers. Maybe they will add some self-confidence to the girl, but they will definitely not bring benefits to the emerging breast. Bones in bras, closely spaced cups, tabs that increase the size of the breast - all this can lead to deformation of the mammary gland, to the appearance of microtraumas, which is fraught with possible problems in the future. An improperly fitting bra can cause discomfort when worn, as well as lead to posture problems.

The best choice for a teenage girl is an anatomically shaped soft cup bra, so seamless underwear made from natural material is best. Bra straps should be wide to support the breasts in a natural state. When a girl puts it on, she should not feel difficulty in breathing, the bra should not pinch the body and hinder movement.

In general, when buying underwear, you must definitely measure it in order to determine the choice of size. If you have chosen a bra correctly, then it will not dig into the body, squeeze the chest, it will be in the cup, and not hang over it.

A well-chosen bra does not interfere with the formation of the mammary gland, but, on the contrary, helps to ensure that the breast develops correctly. A bra is especially necessary when playing sports, so that the chest does not "bounce" when performing physical exercises. By the way, wearing a seamless natural bra can even be beneficial for a teenage girl in that it protects the breasts from contact with clothing, which can lead to irritated or cracked nipples.

If we talk about the sizes of bras, then you need to choose them, starting from the physiological parameters of the girl. As a rule, the dimensional grid of manufacturers begins with the smallest, the so-called "zero" size. It is designed for a chest circumference of about 65 - 68 cm. If the girl's breasts have not yet grown to such sizes, then it is better to wait a while with the purchase of a bra, and pay attention to elastic tops. The requirements for them are the same: natural material so that the body can breathe, and a minimum of seams to avoid the appearance of microtraumas of the mammary gland.
