I LOVE THIS!��I can attest to this. I am 35, have not worn a proper bra since 15 or so (just cannot stand the feel of it on my skin, could not focus or concentrate wearing one—I was a late bloomer really didn’t need one until 13/14 and had 0 desire to wear one like many of my peers). Everyone and their mother told me that I was harming my breast health for NOT doing so and made it their business (which is damn creepy thinking about it now). Also broke out really badly along the straplines and I felt restricted wearing one (I took ballet classes as a teen and a leotard provided enough compression didn’t need to add more).��So I chose my own comfort. IN the past 20 years I have had 0 issues, no grooves, dents in my skin, no sagging, clear skin in that area. It also provides me a better feel for self-examinations making them more effective.��It’s probably like wearing a corset or girdle—women’s muscles weakened from the restriction rather than strengthened.��https://substack.com/home/post/p-206827745?selection=2be60db7-c832-403a-ae62-220207288bd8#:~:text=They%20experienced%20the%20opposite��
