Throw your bras away, ladies
Except on the rare occasions I venture out in public, I dress for comfort, which invariably means nightdress and dressing gown all day.
I have quite an extensive range of both, in several colour ranges, and in varying thicknesses to suit seasonal conditions, so I can have 'clean on' daily, just as I did when wearing conventional daytime clothing. 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. |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Each to their own Margaret. Personally, I do not feel comfortable without my undergarments.
I wear clothes that are comfortable....don't nip or pinch.....never dig into my skin. If something becomes uncomfortable I throw it out(in the case of underwear) - or recycle it. I have to admit, I haven't read the whole article....there must be some uncertainty because it is asking a question rather than shouting a statement. I might read it later on....but I won't be abandoning my bra. |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Shoot ... all those hours I spent learning how to unhook those things in the back rows of various cimemas ... and now you guys are throwing them away:D

Perhaps the dreadful things they had back then Jay!:rolleyes: They've come a long way technologically! Now we have pre-formed cups and underwiring that is not a wire - wonderful things. We can have a perfect sillouhette with all our imperfections...;) As to not wearing one - in bed, on a beach, under the shower....that's about it. In Italy, everyday? Hot weather, light-clothing, no bra? No way!!! :D |

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Bras restrict lymph node drainage and 'underwires' act as antennas for EMF radiation.
http://www.healthy.net/Health/Articl...t_Cancer/533/4 - "Over 85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from the breast drains to the armpit lymph nodes. Most of the rest drains to the nodes along the breast bone. Bras and other external tight clothing can impede flow. The nature of the bra, the tightness, and the length of time worn, will all influence the degree of blockage of lymphatic drainage.Thus, wearing a bra might contribute to the development of breast cancer as a result of cutting off lymphatic drainage, so that toxic chemicals are trapped in the breast. This idea has been popularized recently by Sydney Ross Singer, Ph.D., with the publication of his book Dressed to Kill: The Link between Bras and Breast Cancer by Avery Press. In this book he describes an epidemiologic study that he carried out which shows a strong link. This study is similar to the early studies that showed a relationship between smoking and lung cancer. Women who wore bras more than 12 hours daily had a nineteen times greater chance of developing breast cancer than those who wore a bra less than 12 hours daily. Women who never wore bras seemed to have an even greater protection. So, the take home message to women is to wear bras as little as possible and when wearing them try to choose one that is least constricting. " Harmful effects of radiaiton "Under wire Bras: These can act as antennae, re-radiating external EMFs, including microwave frequencies, into the body. With breast cancer on the increase it may be better with out the under wire. Use non wire alternatives" |

Ah Bra Don't know what language it's been translated from but it gave me a few laughs. Examples: Both the bras she utilized to put on just did not work for him. She was forced to place on both sets on bras for the maximum comfortable fit and help during one play of beach ball. Still, with both bras holding her escapes together, this remained natural with regard to her to really fell aching shoulders subsequent any use. It was as the straps of the bra make remained not created to support both the weight of large-breasted ladies. Both the women of currently are different from the your before. Women on today make come a lengthy way on as meek and submissive. Currently, they will know what they will want and which they should have. They're strong, impartial and powerful. Therefore it's not one surprise that they marketplace the best on it, even when this comes to some thing as fundamental whose sports bra. |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Hilarious :D - reminds me of DaveG and Jaysay's english
Those Ah Bras look more like camisoles, which are great if you want to avoid the location of your nipples being displayed. |

I don't particularly want to conform or be a perfect shape....whatever that might be......but I do wish to feel supported....and I choose a bra that does the job......I don't feel constricted/restricted...just comfortably supported. Breast cancer may be genetic for some people(both men and women), but for others it may have causes other than the kind of bra they wear. |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Two male members of my extended family have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Both have been successfully treated. |

Totally agree - there are genetic factors at work as well but it can't be good to wear something tight all the time - and as for wearing a bra in bed...:eek: |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Oh, I wouldn't wear a bra in bed...that is the time my mammaries get to roam where-ever they want....:D

My own silouhette will never be perfect and never has been, but comfort, support and a bit of help never does any harm and it boosts confidence as well as other things.;):D Never heard of the Ahbra nor have i worn a Wonder-bra -am a traditional kind of girl and prefer a well-fitted Playtex or an Italian make called Loveable. My M&S three-way bra was also a great buy for summer dresses which have cross-straps, halter-neck or are strapless... I just wish i'd been around when the Empire-line was all the rage...hides a wealth of sins because of where it draws the eye too. All those heaving bossoms and Mr. Darcys at every turn -those were the days.:rolleyes: |

I seem to be in a minority of one here. So what's new?;):p

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Nothing wrong with that sue....anyway there are two of you MargaretR doesn't wear one unless she has to.
Nothing at all wrong in thinking for yourself, and choosing what suits you rather than being led by fashion or convention. |

A sports 'bra' will suffice when they do. Some women have bigger problems than others. |
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
I've found some called 'Confortisse' no wires, hooks straps etc... just a very strong elastic material that's fantastic to wear. Any of you men interested in buying???

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
I wish you ladies would stop discussing your unmentionables in public. Next you will be talking about gussets and corsets.

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Just a reminder that this is a family site and we have children on here please do not take this too far or it will be moved to the 18s section.:D

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
If ladies do throw away their bras, where are they going to throw them:confused: Can they be recycled? Or do they go into some landfill?

Ok ... let's for a moment forget about bras and their contents ... I know it's hard, men, but try ... Completely off topic, but not worth a thread of its own: my local deli now sells LANCASHIRE CHEESE:theband: So, here I am, sitting on my porch in beautiful Kingston on the shores of Lake Ontario, eating Lancashire cheese, drinking Bomber, and munching on pickled onions:rose8::alright:

Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
I have no intention of throwing away my unmentionables.... After gaining a little weight, I was beginning to look like I had been drawn by Picasso, 4 boobs and 4 bum cheeks. Realising that I had a problem in the scanties department, I took myself off to be measured. The upshot is that it has cost me a fortune in new foundation garments. For the price I paid for them, if they came with a big red warning on them saying...'wearing this will give you cancer', I would still wear them. Of course, they come with no such warning, and until they do, I will continue to wear whatever makes me comfortable (and not have 4 boobs)..:D
|
Re: Throw your bras away, ladies
Lettie..you made me laugh. It is my pictorial imagination.
Talking about my underwear....I could never call them scanties.......you could rig a yacht with the material that makes my drawers.......and carry ten pound of spuds in my bra cups(OK - might be gilding the lily...just a bit). |
