Marilyn Monroe slept in a bra to keep her assets firm and perky, according to Hollywood lore. A new study out of France suggests it might have been more effective for the screen goddess to go "au naturel" instead.
Researchers spent 15 years studying the breasts of over 330 French women, and concluded that wearing a bra does not prevent sagging or ease back pain as commonly thought. "Medically, physiologically, anatomicallybreasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon, from the University of Besançon, told France Info Radio. "On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra."

Bras just keep you from smacking yourself in the face. and make sure they and the rest of your body go around a corner at the same time when making a sharp turn...........or 'left face' & 'right face' in close order drills.................

The engineer in me just has to take a crack at this one.
It would seem that artificially supporting the female breast would just naturally weaken and/or reduce the development of the muscles that would otherwise perform the support function.
No muscles = More sag.
What we need is a long range multiyear study where the volunteers exclusively wear a “singlet” bra - support on one side, natural on the other. Surely Obama has the funding for such a needed study.

I’m sure the Boob could fund a boob study...

Now back to breasts. A woman's breast has no muscles, so it really requires a manual massage to keep the lymph fluids flowing. Bras, especially wire bras, cut off the natural lymphatic fluid flow. I offer my wife this valuable service daily. She does not always appreciate my selflessness.

Yes, those old "Natives Gone wild Pics" were pretty racy in their day. No self respecting teenage boy ever through a good issue away.

Great. Now all we’ll hear is stupid ‘go braless’ jokes. I read a study some years ago that bras interfere with the lymphatic system, but given the BS nature of so much medical research....
To: Revolting cat!
This is a quick lesson in physics for all engineers and should be passed on to others like them who wonder about these sort of things.
For non- Engineers:
This is Sinusoidal Motion
But Trained Engineers Know This As Harmonic Motion
However To My Trained Engineering Eye This is Classic Sinusoidal & Harmonic Motion
