Women should forget everything they've been told about bras. According to a new French study, published on Wednesday, wearing a bra does nothing to reduce back pain, and the chest supports actually cause increased breast sagging.Personally, I think they restrict lymphatic flow. And they pinch the nerves in the shoulders and chest. Especially in overweight women. They give me back/neck pain.
I really haven't found a great alternative though. I imagine there might be a strap configuration that would be better. Hell, they can make noise cancelling headphones, why isn't there a bounce cancelling t-shirt?
I would like to point out the long term commitment of the researcher to this project. Go figure.
