Going Bra-less
Bra Doctor's Blog

As a woman, going bra-less might seem crazy to some people, but there is actually some impacting medical evidence in support of this trend. There is no actual evidence that bras help to support breast health, functionality and in reality, women have only been wearing bras for approximately 80 years now. In fact, there is some evidence of connection between wearing bras and increasing your risk for breast cancer. One of the various problems with modern bra apparel, is that most women tend to wear their bras too tightly. This can stop the circulation and flow of blood, thus preventing your breasts from naturally removing toxins.

Wearing tight bras or binding one’s breasts can also lead to a heavy buildup of hormones in one’s breasts which can become extremely toxic to their body. This can lead to an increased risk of cystic fibrosis and breast cancer in the future. In addition, wearing a bra can actually make your breasts appear to be more “saggy” because they can break the ligaments inside of one’s chest. Even if you have larger breasts that seem uncontrollable, not wearing a bra could help your breasts to heal broken ligaments and in fact, make help your breasts more “perky” over time.

However, it is normal to experience some breast pain after making the transition to go bra-less. It may take time for your body to become used to no longer wearing a bra. But remember, women have existed for thousands of years sporting the bra-less look. If going bra-less makes you feel uncomfortable, you should consider wearing bras that are not too tight and do not constrict your oxygen or flow of blood. Remember, both the breasts and nipples are just as much a part of the human body as one’s legs, arms, and feet. So there is no need to be ashamed of going bra-less and letting your breasts breathe.

This decision is not overtly sexual, nor is it necessarily provocative; instead, it is a health-conscious and personal choice. You have every right to dress in any way that makes you happy,comfortable and you should never have to feel ashamed for any decisions that you make regarding your personal appearance.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
