In reply to the discussion: Bras Make Breasts "Saggier", 15-year French Study Reveals [View all]happyslug
(14,779 posts)I have meet many a woman with an "AA", "A" or "B" cup that do not need a bra, on the other hand, women whose Cup is a "C" or larger, mostly inform me that they need a bra.
Given that Breasts are mostly FAT and FAT does not have internal strength like muscle, a difference based on Bra Size would be a serious factor. Thus I would have more respect for this study if they would break down the woman into some sort of size groups (For example the American "AA" "A", "B","C", "D" and "E" groups. I suspect for "AA", "A"s and "B"s bras give support to the breasts, but support that would exist if the women did not wear a bra (and thus the lack of a bra, strengthens the muscles holding up the breasts, relieving back paid). On the other hand, women with "C"s, "D"s and "E"s Breasts, the lack of a bra causes the Brest to sag, for the Breast is to large for the few muscles women have in that area of their body.
Thus this report MAY be true, within certain Cup Sizes, and what other have said about Breasts Sagging MAY be true for women with larger cup sizes.
