Description: Ladies only please..

I just read the thread I started a while back about what we wear to sleep in. I also thought about another thing I wear to sleep. I have certain night time bras I wear. For ever I've been almost obsessive about trying to fight gravity, and that poured over into night clothes. (I think its paid off actually.) I hate the feeling of bralessness..Seriously...I'm a 24-7-365 bra wearer....Am I odd in this?

I only wear a bra when I'm going outside...or if you can me my darlings through my shirt...

String have a look at this link.

Why breasts sag


I have seen this research before, that bras don't stop sag at all except at the time you are wearing them. There is actually some suggestion that it may cause more sag to where bras all the time, as this article also says.

Saggy breasts are actually natural and it is only the plastic surgery minefield we live in that has models etc with boob lifts that make us think they should be pointing downwards. All the unnatural bodies in porn and magazines. Really teenagers with small boobs are about the only ones with stand alone breast.

From the photo on the link you posted my guess is that was a women who has lost a lot of weight and the large amount of sag is caused by the excess skin. Have a close look, you can see the wrinkly excess skin in the first shot. If I lose the weight I want to and end up with super saggy breasts and excess skin, then I think I'll do something about it.

I used to think the same about bras that you do (although except for when I was nursing I never wore them to bed) but now if I want to go braless at home I do. I am too large to go bra less in public though :happy:

Edited to add.....check out the link to the photos or normal breasts. Hopefully it will make you realise you are probably very normal as you are.

I read the article and it seemed kind of vague. Maybe I am just kinda dense right now as I have a headache...But if bras prevet the sag while you're wearing them, gravity stretches the skin and ligaments, wouldnt' it make sense that wearing a bra to protect the skin and ligaments against the full force of gravity would slow sagging more than going braless??

HERE'S some fun reading.

"Contrary to popular belief, going braless doesn't mean that your breasts are destined to droop."

"Bras do not preserve the shape or perkiness of breasts."

"Ultimately, to wear, or not to wear, a bra is up to you. If prevention of future fall-out is your only reason for wearing a brassiere, then let 'em loose." (6)

I only wear one during the day. I couldn't be comfortable sleeping in one.

I only wear one when I go out. I never even started wearing bras until I had Katheryn and then only to keep the breast pads in place to catch let down milk.

Here's one quote from this link.


bras and breast cancer


QUOTE
In the early 1990s Singers studied 4,500 women in 5 cities across the U.S. about their habits in purchasing and wearing bras, and later published their findings in a book Dressed to Kill. Though the study did not take into account other lifestyle factors, the results are too striking to be denied:

3 out of 4 women who wore their bras 24 hours per day developed breast cancer.
1 out of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed developed breast cancer.
1 out of 152 women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day got breast cancer.
1 out of 168 women who wore bras rarely or never acquired breast cancer.
So the difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all fa was 125-fold!


Not trying to scare you String but it's good to be aware and informed. There are other studies that say bras increase the risk of breast cancer.

But I hate the feeling of "freedom"!!! Geez! :wall:

Really I prefer the feeling of support to that of no support.

:sigh:

:happy: oh dear poor String :hug:

Just do what you want to do and feel comfortable with. But I reckon do what you want to because that is what feels best for you not because you think it will keep 'em upright etc etc. LOL

I used to feel odd with 'freedom' too but now I quite like it. Trouble is at my size it is really not acceptable to go out in public that way :rollseyes:
