National no bra day: let the girls out!

There are so many health days to celebrate this month that we’re battling to keep up. But one that caught us by surprise is “National no bra day”, and anything invented to attract attention to Breast Cancer awareness month is worth it.

Would you go without your bra, for a day or even for ever? There was this study by French scientists who said that never wearing a bra is better for perky boobs as bras weaken the muscles that hold up breasts. Test subjects for their study also reported standing up straighter, breathing better and having less back pain.

So should we all burn our bras for once and for all? Not really. If you’re a middle-aged women, overweight, with 2.4 children, the doctor says you’re unlikely to get any benefit now from abandoning your bra… But for a day, why not?!
