Woman at home, with or without a bra?: Advantages and disadvantages of #Nobra

How many of us are we confined at home without a bra?Probably the majority.Since we can't go out, at least we will feel comfortable at home.With this idea, the #Nobra movement has filled Twitter with women's testimonies who have freed themselves from the sentence of the bra, becoming almost a war cry during this sanitary quarantine in which we are immersed.

It can be like a return to the 60s, when our grandmothers, young rebels and feminist, planted the bra (support they would say) and released from him.But have we considered what collateral damage can be?A month in free fall can have irreparable consequences or perhaps not for so much.

A study on the evolution of the female chest carried out by Dr. Rouillion, an expert in sports medicine at Besançon Hospital, revealed that patients who did not use a bra The better chest, more toned and with the height of the nipple somewhat higher.

Other doctors, among whom is the famous Doctor Antonio Tejerina, insist that all women should lead to them that they have very little because that helps to delay the descent of the breasts and the stretching of the ligaments caused by the loss of loss ofelasticity of the skin over the years.

Dr. Hortensia García Briz, gynecologist and obstetrician and with specific training in regenerative aesthetic gynecology and diploma in breast pathology insists: "There are hundreds of studies for and against but I believe that not everything is black or white, that the determining factor isThe size of the breast.A woman with very large breasts needs to always take him because she would be very uncomfortable for her, while another with very small breasts can give him without problem ".

And he adds: "At the Torrejón hospital, where I work, we treat breast hypertrophy.They are very large breasts that must be reduced not by aesthetics but because of the great pains that cause cervical and lumbar level.These women cannot do without the bra because they would aggravate their pains ".

Returning to studies, there are those that ensure that the bra as a prosthesis that does not let the physiological regeneration be generated and prevents the skin from producing collagen.But the doctor insists that "there is no scientific basis to ensure this.The most sensible thing, if you have an average breast, is to take a bra during the day and, when you get home, remove it ".

The problem is size

What Neoyorcin Mary Phelps Jacobs never imagined when the first world bra.It's something that costs us a lot.

Lyrics that indicate the size of the cup, centimeters perimeter...There are up to 150 possible combinations but in the end, we take the wrong bra on 80% of the occasions."Inadequate size," insists Dr. García Briz, "is more harmful to the chest than to carry it or not.I would recommend that you always be comfortable and also alternate the type of bra depend on the activity that will be carried out and combined those of hoop with those who do not carry it ".

It is so important to choose the bra well that we are going to try to hit our next purchase following the pattern prepared by corsetry experts.In Spain, the size consists of a figure that advances five in five (80, 85, 90...) and that measures the perimeter of the thorax and a capital letter (A, B, C, D and E) that marks the measure of the chest in its most voluminous area, being the smallest.

To succeed with the size you have to measure the thorax just below the submample groove.Then, the chest contour and once the two measurements are had, the cup is calculated following this formula: chest contour less torso equal to the glass you need (if it comes out 13 cm = a; 15 cm = b; 17 cm = C; 19 cm = D; 21 cm = E; 23 cm = f).It is also convenient to choose wide and reinforced braces if the breasts are very large, to avoid neck and shoulder discomfort.

And with sport?

And what should we do when practicing sports even if it is home?When we jump or run, the chest moves about 5 centimeters vertically, therefore, all experts agree on the convenience of carrying support regardless of the breast size.Of course, avoiding very tight garments so that the lymphatic system is not excessively compressed and toxins can be released correctly.

"Now that it is necessaryThat we cannot ignore is that pregnancies, breastfeeding, hormonal changes and the passage of time, together with our genetics, inevitable offset, "says the doctor.

For sleeping...

As for the time of going to bed, most experts think than best without it, so the mother receives a natural massage and extra oxygenation, apart from comfort.Unless you carry a specific one for rest such as the Pillow Bra, a hypoallergenic bra, created by the Spanish Marta Fernández Cuevas whose design prevents the chest from moving.

As soon as it carries seams and consists of an ergonomic foam pad that fits between the two breasts, filling the emptiness that is generated in that interpectoral zone and preventing the antistnetic wrinkles and marks in the gutter from.

An issue that is always on the table is whether the misuse of a bra can enhance some pathology, breast cancer type.According to Hortensia García, "keeping or not a bra is not among risk factors but I take the opportunity to say that food does, and high consumption of red meat mainly".

Suitator yes or bra cannot generate debate but what most agree is that the bra is the sexiest female garment and that having well -careful breasts interest us all.
