5 Reasons Why Women Should NOT Wear Bras

[Anonymous]

Today I'm going to tell you a few reasons why women should NOT wear bras.

1. It's not natural

First if all it's not natural to wear a bra, and can cause problems like..

2. Breast cancer

Under wire bras are probably the worst for causing breast cancer. There are many debates whether bras cause breast cancer, but many studies have shown that women who wear bras more often are more likely to get breast cancer.

3. Uncomfortable

Honestly girls, we all know that most bras are just uncomfortable and annoying. Every girl knows the feeling of relief you get when you finally get home, take off that bra, and feel like you can breathe again.

4. Money

Bras are expensive! It already cost a fortune just being a girl and getting necessities, bras just add to that cost.

5. Happier without them

For me personally, I am a much happier person when am not wearing a bra. It just affects my attitude. It's that feeling like you can breathe again without a care in the world.

Well I hope you enjoyed my take on why women should NOT wear bras. :)

1. That is the naturalistic fallacy. You are contending that what is natural should be upheld, while the unnatural should be discouraged.
2. The correlation between breast cancer and bras is just that, a correlation. This is different from causation, in which X causes Y or Y causes X. In correlation studies, it is possible that wearing bras causes women to get cancer OR women who are more likely to get cancer have other signs (asymmetrical breasts) that lead them to wear bras OR a confound variable may exist.
3. Bras are not uncomfortable. That is subjective. I wear bras all the time during the summer mainly out of modesty; once I wear them, I usually don't know they exist. My body just adjusts to the feeling, I guess.
4. All right. That's a legit reason. But I feel that bras are more important than make-up or trendy clothes. I consider them well suited for modesty. If one spends no money on make-up and trendy clothes and some money on one bra, then her breasts wouldn't bounce around.
5. Good for you.

[SnatchFinderGeneral]

This is all bullshit!!! Except that they cost money.

Stupid women believe stupid shit. Bras do not negatively affect your breasts or your health at all. by the way, a woman invented the bra, so when you think you're getting all anti-patriarchal by boycotting bras, you're boycotting one of the few female inventions.

1. And what part of our clothing is natural? You can make this argument for pants, shirts, underwear. "Natural" is simply a scare tactic marketing scheme. Cancer is natural, so should we stop treating it? Houses are unnatural, should we stop living in them? The internet is unnatural, stop using it.

2. There is no scientific proof of this. The study that claimed this was proven to be unreliable and debunked. Same with that silly "scientific claim" that vaccines cause autism. It's bad science at best.

3. The most reason women have a lot of discomfort from wearing bras is because they are wearing an ill fitting size. 32D is meant for SMALL breasts when worn correctly. Lots of people are wearing a band size that is too large and cups that are much too small for them. That's because that they don't know that average sized boobs are usually DD and above and because stores and brands don't want to carry or produce these sizes. UK brands are a lot better than US brands in this but many of them are guilty of it too.

4. Bras take a lot more engineering than shirts or pants or underwear so unfortunately they do cost a bit more, even the cheaper ones, in the right size range 28-48 AA-KK. This could be helped if more companies made a larger size range that actually fit most people. The outdated 32-42 A-DD range (correctly) fits less than 50% of women. If we had more options for the normal size range prices would drop a little bit. In the meantime: SALES

5. If you have a medium bust and below you may very well be happy without a bra. So don't wear one. Many women with larger bust are much happier WITH a bra though because it helps support them. Also, it's only recently (last ~50 years) that it's become a "modesty requirement". A friend's mom was telling me how she was sent home from school for wearing one back in the 50s because it was considered indecent.

I have to agree that it is not natural to wear a bra or undergarments because of the negative effects is can have on the body. We have grown so accustomed to it that it doesn't even faze us anymore. But I'm the type that wears them day and night. I can never find myself without one, especially since God forbid someone tries to do something. I have never heard that bras causes cancer, but I do believe that the materials it's made out of can contribute to cancer. Dyes/Coloring have poison in them because it's still a chemical. And it can still seep into your skin, just like perfume products, other clothes, etc.

If I feel uncomfortable, I would use a non underwire and a loose fitting bra. I need it more because of size, asthma and I have cystic breast that is for life. I need whats comfortable for me. And yes, bras are expensive. Especially if your in the big cups like me, or need them custom made. I remember paying $60 for a bra at Kohls! However I am not happy without them unlike the women I have in my life. Whatever works for other people.

I don't agree with it, yeah it might not be natural, but as any other piece of clothing, that our ancestors ran naked around nature doesn't mean we have to do the same, we've evolved, do you have any proof that they can give breast cancer? Because lately anything can give you breast cancer apparently, uncomfortable is only if you don't wear the correct fit, but it's true a lot of women don't use the correct size, I have used some bras that you didn't even feel you had them on, plus if you have big breasts, like me, it's gonna be more comfortable wearing a bra than if you weren't wearing one, they actually hurt if you don't give them some support, apart from going everywhere, about the money issue, well it depends where you buy them, I've bought some bras for 4 bucks and they were pretty good, sales my dear, though even if you go for the more expensive fancy ones they still last a pretty long time, I understand you're happier without a bra, but not everyone thinks like you and your reasons for not wearing a bra weren't very good

[Red_Arrow]

#1 - It is not natural. Wearing any clothes is not natural. Are you going to go naked? I thought not.
#2 - Pure BS. Only one scientific study has been done on this and it found NO difference between those who wore a bra and those who did not. www.breastcancer.org/risk/factors/no_evidence
#3 - Some women find them comfortable and are actually very uncomfortable without them.
#4 - Yes, they can be very expensive.
#5 - That is a personal opinion of yours and is not a reason for others to not wear a bra.

NOT a good myTake.

The one definitive fact exposed by the Internet the gullibility and stupidity of most people. Here is just another example. We now live in a world where everyone gets a everyone gets a prize so I give our anonymous "my taker" a trophy that she may label however she wants. Personally I wear a bra except on Friday nights when I go to a bar to get picked up. So I am not in favor of girls going without bras because I don't need the competition.

[front2back]

(1.) So are taking antibiotics, and eating processed food, and wearing clothes in general. Etc.
(2.) "Under wire bras are probably the worst for causing breast cancer." Wrong. Living an unhealthy lifestyle and genetics are the worst for breast cancer. From those studies what I read is that underwire bras MAY contribute to breast cancer risk if the wire is too tight and decreases bloodflow to the breast.
(3.) Depends on the woman. Granted I've only really known big breasted women my whole life but they finding NOT wearing a bra to be the uncomfortable part.
(4.) Can't argue against that. Especially for the good looking ones you'll pay a decent price.
(5.) Again, opinion. You may be happier without them, but my ex girlfriend loved wearing them. They helped her back pain and she saw them as something to add to her style.

#2 -- Well, if the conclusion is "women who wear bras more often are more likely to get breast cancer" (which is what the words say), then... duhhhh that's obvious anyway.
The more breast tissue you have and/or the denser it is, the higher yr risk for breast cancer. So, the women who can most comfortably go braless -- like, women with A or AA cups --- are exactly the women with the lowest aggregate BC risk, because they have so little breast tissue in the first place.
Girls with big girls -- who could never *think* of not wearing a bra -- also have a higher risk of BC because they have more breast tissue.

1) it is normal. I mean, naturally we didn't live in brick houses and shit before, but we aren't all going back to caves. We've advanced, bras is one of those advancements.

2) bs. As you will read here- there has been ONE study on this, and they found no real connection. www.breastcancer.org/risk/factors/no_evidence

3) Not always. I have found some really good bras in my time.

4) sometimes, I guess, but you can get budget ones if it's that bad.

5) for me, i would not be happier without them at all.

[NJ_Casanova]

Cancer? I need links proof of that.

As a guy I think a lot of bra's are False advertising and the guy is getting duped on what he's getting.

Also, Seeing a nice nipple peaking through a T-shirt is sexy as hell.

One reason too wear one... is if your's are large.. it with keep them from sagging to early in life.

[myTake Owner]

The "false advertising" you're thinking of is only if they wear bust up/padding bras which turns you from a size B to a size C (example). There are some that aren't like that.

[NJ_Casanova]

Well... Most girls wear them. You only really she what she looks like the next morning;-O

[Relentless_Hippie]

This only seems to work for women with small boobs. I don't know how many times I nor other countless busty girls have to explain this but not wearing bras for us is uncomfortable, inconvenient and a little embarrassing when your boobs flail all over the place and wanna play peek a boo with your clothes.

[smoorea1]

Every time a girl above a D doesn't wear a bra I notice. Like you said they flail all over the place I notice it from way down the street

[Relentless_Hippie]

@smoorea1 Lol yes!! It's so uncomfortable and it's embarrassing. Especially when running to get somewhere fast. xD

[smoorea1]

Do some women with big boobs ever not wear a bra for the attention? I feel like most women with big boobs hate ever getting attention for their boobs unless they are wearing something low cut with a push up bra on a date

[Relentless_Hippie]

@smoorea1 I feel like if any girl is wearing anything showing a lot of skin or a lot of cleavage it's for the attention. If she's not wearing something skimpy then chances are she doesn't want the attention placed on her breasts.

[smoorea1]

That makes perfect sense

[lexythelou22]

It seems as if you've been getting the wrong kind of bras. They come in plenty of styles, and I've found a few incredibly comfortable for myself personally. I do agree that most can be pricey, but if you look enough you can find them cheap. I get mine for $6. And I don't believe the breast cancer thing... Unless of course your bra is waaaaaay too tight.

[MeepisMeep]

I'm pretty large for a 13 year-old, so going without a bra is pretty uncomfortable. I mean, I remember when I first started wearing a bra (4 years, so I remember pretty clearly), unlike most girls, I grew out of my first ever training bra in less than a month so wearing, what I called, a grown-up bra, was not the best feeling in the world. But as I got older, I just got use to them. I'm not sure about the breast cancer and if you may be shopping at the wrong store if a couple of bras are expensive. I just bought 3 for less than $5 at Wal-Mart.

[Girl_Ex_Machina]

Bras don't cause cancer. That is a myth perpetuated by idiots. Also, they aren't uncomfortable for everyone. Larger breasted women need them in order to be comfortable. In fact, when women like myself don't wear bras our breasts bounce in a very uncomfortable way.

[Kastinis]

I still would refuse to not wear one, because training without a sport bra (or even simple one) would be impossible. And walk around without one actually isn't comfortable at least for me.

[PennsylvaniaPete]

I'm not a cop. lawyer, judge or anything like that but, as far as I know, there is no law requiring you to wear a bra. So, if you don't want to wear a bra, don't. If you do want to wear a bra, go ahead. If you want to wear a bra but don't like any of bras currently available, invent a new one.

[John_Doesnt]

Just don't get mad when we can't stop staring at your exposed nips.

[BlackRaven00]

I agree, but only because I have small breasts. Girls with large breasts may not though

[vishna]

Can you PLEASE share a few reputable links that prove wearing bras causes cancer?

Also, that woman with the empty wallet XD love the picture

[KittieCat]

Right fitting and good bras will not be uncomfortable at all. Unless you need them, don't wear them.
And someone please cite some sources that say bras = breast cancer

[justice_alice]

I think wearing a bra is awesome... and girls if you really want to go in public with no bra be my guess but you'll look REALLY bad with out one. you'll look trashy, bad, and all things you think is terrible in fashion. BUT I JUST SAYING! YOU CAN TAKE THIS 15 YEARS ADIVCE BUT WHO CARES... IT'S YOUR LIFE! SPEND IT WISELY!

[BaileyisDarcy]

You should add that these are reasons for women below a D cup to not wear bras.
What's uncomfortable for anything above is going without the bra.

[sep780]

I'm below a D cup & I feel more comfortable with a bra then without. I have a former friend that was larger then a D cup & couldn't wait to take her bra off. I think the comfort part as more to do with if your bra is the right size & the actual person then cup size.

[adrianalima0]

My boobs are too big to go without. They'll sag. This works with girls with no boobs to begin with.

[myTake Owner]

Well I'm a medium, works for me.
