No longer wearing a bra: 8 benefits every woman should know.
Bras are one of the most powerful symbols of femininity.
They are intimately linked to the idea of what a woman is.
Since ancient times, although they were far from resembling those of today, women already wore them.
Today, bras are ubiquitous in the daily life of women.
The vast majority of them wear them, convinced that they provide essential support to their breasts.
But one wonders how real is the usefulness of the bra and how much of a myth is it?
It may surprise you to learn that the benefits of the bra are greatly exaggerated...
Of course, it depends largely on the physique and the morphology of each one.
But let's face it, there are tons of situations and occasions in which a bra is totally useless.
In fact, giving up this underwear entirely has many health benefits.
So what are the benefits of not wearing a bra? The pros and cons ?
here is 8 good reasons not to wear a bra that all women should know :
1. Bras have no effect on breast tone

Many women think they should wear a bra because they fear that otherwise their breasts will start to sag and lose their tone.
In fact, a long-lasting French study has shown that bras have probably the opposite effect. They would cause a loss of tone of the breasts over time.
According to the study, it is the "support" of the bra that is in question. It weakens the muscles of the chest causing the breasts to sag and thus reinforces the idea that a bra is needed. Suddenly, it's an endless vicious circle.
2. Your blood circulation will be stimulated

It's hard to imagine that our bras could be bad for our health, right? Yet they do have an impact on our cardiovascular health.
That's right, after all, when you think about it ... what is a bra, if not a giant rubber band that compresses the chest?
All of this tension and compression can slow down and hamper your circulation by compressing your major blood vessels.
Getting into the habit of not wearing a bra helps your blood flow and boosts your energy and therefore your health!
3. You will sleep better

If you have trouble sleeping at night, your bra might be to blame. Why ? For 2 reasons:
- on the one hand, before, we used to wear your bra at night, which inevitably led to certain discomfort and difficulty sleeping.
- on the other hand, even if you don't wear a bra at night, they could still continue to wreak havoc by affecting your circadian rhythms.
Indeed, this study shows that the pressure of clothing on the skin disrupts the circadian rhythms of temperature and salivary melatonin. The result is you get a bad night's sleep.
If you want my opinion, to get a good night's sleep, it's worth giving up bras for good!
4. You will have less pain in the chest

The same French study cited above on breast tone also indicates that most bras are not harmful to your health.
On the other hand, bras that are poorly fitted to the chest can cause rib pain, shortness of breath and other unpleasant sensations.
Walking without a bra can also be beneficial for your skin and muscles, as blood flow improves and muscle tone builds.
Not to mention that sweat and dirt are no longer trapped against the skin due to the non-breathable materials of the bras.
5. You will feel more comfortable

You've probably already experienced it: when you take off your bra at the end of the day, you always feel immense relief!
And this relief is twice as intense if the bra is lace, itchy or a little too tight.
Now imagine that you can just feel this comfort and freedom all day and every day if you are not wearing it!
In my opinion, that reason alone is enough to change your mind about bras.
6. You could save a cup size

Many of us wear a push-up bra to give the impression of having fuller breasts.
It seems that this is the easiest way indeed to quickly have a favorable cleavage and a fuller breast.
In fact, it seems that the best way to gain a cup size in the long run is to ditch the cups altogether.
The reason is simple: letting the breasts support themselves naturally forces the pectoral muscles to work to resist gravity.
Of course, the breasts don't actually develop. But the muscles tighten up and stimulate the chest, which overall makes it seem larger.
7. You save money

Bras are not cheap, even when you manage to have them on sale!
Often times, just finding the right bra in the right size is so overwhelming that you are willing to buy it at any cost when you find one.
Which leads many women to pay an arm for the bra that fits!
Why not save $ 50 and spend it on something you really want or need?
Cutting back on your bra purchases will definitely save you a bundle of money in the long run. Do the math, and you will see that I am not talking nonsense :-)
8. It will beautify your figure

You don't have to go without a bra all the time. But getting into the habit of walking around without a bra will generally have a positive effect on your breast shape.
If you want your breasts to appear fuller, firmer and more shapely, ditch the bra!
You now know the consequences of not wearing a bra. And that's not that bad, is it?
