At times when I need to 'get dressed' lately, I have noticed what a bind (pun intended) it is to wear a bra, and how it restricts relaxation and deep breathing.
For us ladies it is the equivalent of a cricket box for a man, so why should we be expected to put up with it!.

Then today I happened on an article which gives women good reason not to wear them -
Breast Cancer: Do Bras Cause Breast Cancer?

So unless 'they' hang below the waist I really thing you should consider abandoning them.

Horrible uncomfortable things, haven't worn one for years. The desire to conform to a perfect shape (?decided by whom) is responsible for a lot of problems besides possibly being a cause of breast cancer.
