According to a study carried out by the IFOP on April 3 and 4, 2020 among 1 people, 016% of women no longer wore a bra during confinement. While they are only 8% in normal times. A number of women admittedly low, but which has been multiplied by almost 3. A figure that says a lot about the weight of external injunctions, according to the philosopher Camille Froidevaux-Metterie, author of the book “Seins, enquête d ‘ a liberation ”, released on March 3 by Anamosa editions. Translation: Without “social obligation”, some women prefer not to wear a bra, as soon as they can.
Bra or no bra?
It is commonly accepted that a bra should be worn to keep breasts firm and high. And that not wearing it causes pain. Beliefs shared by the majority of women. But is it true? During research carried out for nearly fifteen years in the 2000s, Jean-Denis Rouillon, sports doctor, demonstrated that when she no longer wore a bra, a woman saw her pain disappear after a year, and contrary to popular belief, the breasts did not sag at all. The researcher even observed that without a bra, the nipples gained a little height. “On average, the nipple was raised by seven millimeters in a year,” says the doctor. In addition, the breast readjustes to the absence of external support. The hypothesis of the doctor, now retired: “Our main hypothesis is that initially the breast is able to take care of itself thanks to Cooper’s ligaments. “
According to Jean-Denis Rouillon, after a few years, especially if the bra is worn during puberty, during the period of breast growth, the natural support system degenerates, then the woman is chained to wear this tool. According to the ex-doctor, after stopping wearing any type of brassiere or bra, it takes a year for the breast to readjust to new conditions, gravity and sports practices.
