    Jacques,

    Reading your title I'm assuming you're intimating that bra wearing in some way may induce larger breasts. Can't say that I've any evidence of that. If there is any enlargement it's more likely due to me putting on a few pounds. Pass that last mince pie will you please?

    I don’t know what the heck you mean by “good for”. They’re there to keep things in place, much like a jock strap. So they don’t provide any inherent biological benefit other than keeping the person whose parts they are more comfortable.

    For naturally large breasted women they do help to properly support each breast, and do help some to reduce sagging since the weight of breasts do cause the tissues and muscles to stretch and then sag naturally. They also can help some women avoid back issues, including pain.

    This is actually untrue. Bras do NOT prevent sagging and in fact there were studies done that showed that bras may actually ENCOURAGE sagging by allowing pectoral muscle to atrophy.

    If you look at women's shoulders, especially women with big boobs, you will see, sometimes deep, indentations where the bra straps sit. I've even noticed these on my own shoulders after wearing a bra and silicon books for a few hours, thankfully only temporary. So I think bras are detrimental for the shoulders, even if they're good for the chest.

    These women are wearing the wrong size or style of bra.

    They say %80 of women are wearing the wrong bra size and and that is one of the major indicators. Not all large breasted women get those permanent shoulder indentations.

    Wearing a bra is great for your boobs, it lets you know they are there, it's also good for your head, wear a bra everyday!!!

    I don?t have any idea if wearing a bra is or isn?t good for my boobs, but I wear one often and have seen no changes. All my bras are underwires and I scoop and adjust occasionally.

    Me too. My main bras are underwire. Guess getting a bit older has given my a bit to work with. I guess that I am a natural B cup so they feel so wonderful. Sometimes I prefer to wear no forms (size 7) and go au natural. It feels so nice.

    I was going to leave this thread alone for personal reasons, but what the heck here goes
    A while back I started on Hormone therapy and have developed into a 36B cup of which I am very comfortable with
    That being said I wear and underwire support bra every day
    I absolute love the feeling and firmness that it gives me during the day, but also love the natural feeling of them hanging at night
    when I take the bra off....so that being said it does give them shape and support during the day
    but lets them rest natural when not wearing a bra. I also love the feeling of walking around going bra less when I can

    OMG. I think reading this thread has scared me straight! I think I may have to burn the few bras I already have and never wear a dress again.
    I would think supportive to CD GG's reading this would think WTF is the deal with these guys? Sorry, my honest Annie two cents.

    All I can say is that without a bra I feel heavy and droopy and I get uncomfortable tugs from unexpected actions like opening a cupboard door.

    I sometimes go braless to feel the wobble, and maybe to sag a bit more, as I feel I am too pert.

    I found that wearing a bra actually created breasts out of my man fat.

    I will repost the pictures later, or go look way back in the clothing section for a post about Wendy's Bra Manifesto.

    Yeah, and there are "studies" that claim underwire bras cause breast cancer too...

    I wear a bra on a lot of occasions. Recently I finally got one that is my right size, 44a and it fits wonderfully. I have noticed that after I take it off, the shape of my boobs looks a lot better. It is a Leading Lady 5044.

    I have partial boobs, and they really enjoy being hugged by a bra, there a sensation that's not there without the bra.
    my point of view.
    Wanting something is a fantasy which on a long time period clouds your mind and makes you think you need it.

    Sounds as if someone nipples may be irritated by the bra's material or forms therein.

    I feel as if my posture is better when I wear a bra. My back is straighter, and my shoulders are back. I haven't noticed anything else. Then again I don't wear one daily.

    Because life is too short not to.

    It's ironic ... I finally found a group of guys I fit in with. Funny how they all enjoy being one of the girls.

    That 15 year study was woefully lacking in detail and presumably the women who did not wear bras to begin with had smaller breasts which would sag less over time! I have not found any full details of the so-called study since the 2013 articles so I am unable to find out if this is true or not. Memories of National Geographic articles suggest that bras really help! Just not this community.

    Natural breasts will sag as years pass the pectoral muscles lose there strength so no I would say wearing a bra is just a means of comfort and to look good.

    I have been wearing a Bra 24/7 for over 8 years. It has made me into a "B" up from almost nothing.
    So I think that raring a bra does help form a shape for you. If I have to go bra-less for special Medical
    reasons, I feel that I am naked for one, and the Boobs seem to flatten out to some degree.
