Why You Should “Free The Boobs”?
Women’s breasts have been a subject of interest throughout history. A secondary sexual organ, breasts or “boobs” are primarily associated with breastfeeding and the nurturing of children in their infancy. The discussions around this body part have existed for a very long time, especially from the social and political perspective, which often intersects with women’s rights over their bodies.
Moreover, there are also a lot of misconceptions about female breasts that need to be set straight so that young girls can confidently embrace their womanhood. The bra is one such concept specifically designed and fiercely marketed for women, and this article will help you decode everything you’ve always wanted to know about the BRA!
Do You Really Need a Bra?
Sanitary pads and bras are among those products that are usually introduced to a girl during puberty, and sometimes sex education too. While sanitary napkins are used to save clothes from being stained, bras have a whole set of different purposes, and some of these include:
– To support weight, especially for women with fuller breasts.
– To help in better breast shape, which is just an illusion while wearing them.
– To prevent sagging
– Adhere to societal and cultural norms
Giving in to the above reasons, the bra has become a life savior and an irreplaceable garment for a lot of women around the world. As much as we would like to believe that a bra actually serves the purpose it was supposed to, it is high time we assess this “essential” product and its true necessity.
Bras do provide comfort, support, and confidence for women. However, wearing bras also brings in a lot of issues – more than 80% of women wear the wrong size bra, leading to tension and stiffness by bra straps, which often results in neck and back pain, while sports bra, on the other hand, directly impacts the rib cage functioning.
Apart from that, the ‘so-called’ benefits of bras have not been proven yet, due to a lack of research and we can never really be sure about it except for the last purpose, which it definitely serves!
So as far as we know now, bra or no bra doesn’t make much of a difference for your breasts, except for some extra support and discomfort. And if you are someone with heavier breasts, they will naturally sag because GRAVITY exists. And bras cannot go against the law of physics and help you have firmer and perkier breasts.
So ladies, if you like to go braless, do it right away because wearing a bra should always be a personal choice, and you should never be pressured into wearing one. Prioritize your comfort and make sure to choose what feels right for you and your body!
