What to Replace the Bra with?
The trend has already existed for many years, but it has taken another leap forward in the last year and a half. Many women have abandoned the bra, which often turns out to be uncomfortable. Since then, there have been many debates on its usefulness or not.
“ There is no proof that wearing a bra is not good for your health , immediately restores Dr. Muriel Greuse, plastic surgeon who works in particular at the Chirec Breast Clinic. If an A cup could afford not to wear it, it becomes useful from the B cup, especially if you practice a sporting activity.”
Without underwire
Various problems can appear in women who have decided to abandon what they sometimes consider an object of torture. ” There are of course some people who are more fragile than others, but this can lead to pain in the back, in the neck and in the upper back, between the shoulder blades.”
What solution, then?
The underwire bra, often unsuitable, especially when it is not chosen in a specialized store, can give way to other types of models, less uncomfortable.
“ We are selling more and more classic bras, but without underwires , note Catherine and Orane, sales assistants at Lingerie Pierre, in Wavre. In materials such as cotton, lace and microfiber which is ultra-comfortable. Note that not everything that is sexy and cute offers very good support.”
