Want perky breasts? Don’t wear bras, says French study


Actress Halle Berry is known for a having a toned body and cleavage.

Let’s just say you want breasts like Halle Berry.

Well, a 15-year French study says wearing bras make your breasts sag even more and they do nothing to reduce back pain.  So you’re better off going braless.

Research professor Jean-Denis Rouillon says that medically, physiologically, anatomically breasts gain no benefit from being denied gravity.  Actually, he said women get saggier with a bra.

The study looked at the changes in breasts of 330 women using a slide rule and calliper and concluded that breasts naturally become more toned and supported if no bra is used. When a bra is used, the breast becomes dependent on the artificial support, making them degrade more quickly, the study reports.

Also,  the study found that going braless gives women a 7mm lift for every year they go without and helps in fading stretch marks.  But Rouillon notes it would be dangerous to advise all women to stop wearing them as the women involved were not a representative sample of the population.

Jene Luciani, Dr. Oz’s favorite Bra Guru and author of the bestselling “Bra Book,” said the study surveys a relatively small sampling of women  compared to the millions who wear and have worn bras for centuries. ” It goes against not only science but also what common sense tells us, too. …  Besides the obvious (gravity), genetics, skin elasticity and whether you’ve lost or gained weight, been pregnant, etc. are all factors that contribute to sagging.”
