French research outlines benefit of going bra-less [View all]

http://www.dailyhiit.com/hiit-blog/hiit-life/women/time-ditch-bras/

Instead of fueling the common belief that going without a bra will lead to back problems and sagginess the research done by Professor Rouillon suggests that bras could actually add fire to these problems. The research done over the course of 15 years in France found that not wearing a bra increases the strength of breast tissue and reduces sagging over time.
