just thought I would add to my post because some are saying bras are unhealthy... from my own medical doctors, muscle specialists and breast specialists where I get my mamograms....
bras are not unhealthy for the human body, no more unhealthy or causing problems to the muscles than wearing underwear/ panties, socks, gloves and mittens. as long as you have the correct sizing for your body and cup size there is no damage to muscles, bones , skin.
I had had the same fears and concerns for my body about bras and brought these concerns and copies of what I was finding on the internet to my treatment providers. some my treatment providers got a great laugh over. including the ones that said breasts wont sag if not supported by bras. its a matter of gravity that anything up must come down, regardless of what it is. Ask any woman with a breast size above a b or c cup what happens to their breasts when they take off their bras. do their "girls" stay put in perfect formation up high. no they flop downwards (unless of course you are a body builder who works out their "pecs") over time the downwards reaches new lengths, muscles are like rubber bands, the more they stretch the longer they get and eventually dont snap back to their original positions. proof of this go through photos and look at how your human body has changed notice where your "girls" are landing in the photos are they in the same spot and position or do they hand lower and lower. if you have a normal human body you will notice normal changes including sizing and shape and how high they sit on your body. its completely normal for breast muscles to stretch and hang lower and lower as people age.
From personal experience I can tell you my "girls" with wearing bras have never had any health issues of muscle problems, skin problems or muscle atrophy, and I can tell you that over time my photos of me and my girls in and out of bras changed where I have been lower, and lower, even mismatched where one side is one cup size and the other side is another cup size (which again is norrmal for breasts to be this way)
from my treatment providers if a person is having problems with infections (which can happen if a person is not washing their bras after every wearing just like any other piece of clothing bras accumulate bacteria, skin cells and so on. most buy a bra and wash it every few days but really should be have enough bras to wash every day like socks and underwear) , muscle atrophy and so on it is not due to actually wearing a bra. its the person buying the bra has miss sized their self.
my suggestion anyone that has any concerns about their "girls" and wearing bras should contact their treatment providers. they will help you to understand how to care for the girls, what health problems you need to be aware of that happens with the "girls" and which type of bra and size is right for your body type and health issues.
