When You Stop Wearing A Bra, This Is What Happens To Your Body

Getting your first training bra was a major and exciting milestone when you were young, but, over time, bras lose their novelty. If you've started contemplating giving up the underwire for good, you should know what happens to your body when you stop wearing a bra. Will gravity do its thing if you decide to ditch your bra? If you have visions of your breasts flopping to the floor, you can rein in your imagination. Contrary to popular belief, getting rid of the boob-boosting undergarment might actually keep your breasts perkier. In a study cited by Medical News Today, sports science expert Jean-Denis Rouillon analyzed changes in hundreds of women's breasts over 15 years and found that, generally speaking, those who did not wear bras had higher nipples and better positioning than those who wore them daily. It's important to note that at the start of this research, the ages of women involved ranged from 18 to 35 years. Rouillon also admitted that a braless life might not be right for every woman. He told Reuters, "Middle-aged women, overweight, with 2.4 children [would likely not] benefit from abandoning bras." Furthermore, Dr. Dan Mills of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery told Health that breasts naturally "break down as you age." He added, "A bra will hold up your breasts to give you the shape and look you want, but it can't prevent further sagging."
