Well it’s too late for this particular chick, hers are already saggy. And her only 17.

I dispute the ‘researcher’ though, based on girls i’ve known my whole life and who wore bras and who did not when we were young. Even before we had babies the non bra wearers had saggy boobies. That weren’t saggy boobed when we were teens.

Well that is the beginning of a study but doesn’t really ring the bell for me.

“For generations, women have been advised that wearing a bra would keep breasts from sagging, prevent back pain and improve posture.

Wrong, wrong and wrong, according to a study conducted by Jean-Denis Rouillon, a sports medicine specialist from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Besancon, France.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically — breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity,” Rouillon said, as quoted on TheLocal.fr. “On the contrary, they get saggier with a bra.” [The Cleavage Countdown: 8 Facts About Breasts]

Rouillon should know: Since 1997, he has been studying the breasts of 330 volunteers ages 18 to 35 using a slide ruler and a caliper to record the changes in breast position as the women aged, CBSNews.com reports.

His meticulous research revealed that women could experience about a 1/4-inch (7-millimeter) lift in the nipples each year they didn’t wear a bra, news site Counsel & Heal reports.

The researchers involved in the study suggested that bras — which Rouillon now calls “a false necessity”— discourage the growth of supporting breast tissue, leaving the breasts to sag more quickly.

Other research has challenged the conventional wisdom that breast-feeding causes breast ptosis (sagging). A 2007 study of 132 women revealed that breast-feeding had no effect on the degree of breast sagging.

What did affect breast ptosis, that research revealed, was age, smoking status and the number of times a woman had become pregnant.”

All in all I view bras as a personal choice and would reject the idea that wearing them is healthier. Just be aware that you want to avoid inviting attentions you are uncomfortable with or distracting others and interfering with school or work. That’s good manners.
